BEST TO "CUT OUT"
TUBERCULOUS HENS
Safest Method Is to Raise
New Flock.

It Is generally conceded that the
fowl tuberculosis germ is not carried
in the eggs, and. therefore, eggs are
perfectly safe to use, even though the
hens laying them are i'm the earlier
stages of the disease. The tubercu-
lOsis germ is one that is quickly
killed by heat, hence cooking would
destroy such germs even If they were
present.
We doubt If II is advisable to keep
a flock of hens having tuberculosis
to any considerable extent. Avian or
fowl tuberculosis affects chiefly the
liver and other digestive organs. The
water contaminated by bowel dis
charges; hence when a large number
have the disease. keeping the healthy
looking fowls usually means perpet-
uation of the disease. for one by one
those that have the germs in them
will reach the consumptive stage and
scatter more infection. If you want
to keep pullets or healthy looking
young hens you should confine them
to a yard that can easily be made
safe by changing the top soil. Let
the disinfection Of the range begin at
once.
There is a tuberculin test by which
the disease can be weeded out of
flock in the course of two or three
years, but unless the flock is valu-
able one the better plan is to change
completely. beginning with chicks
and raising them on clean ground.

OBLIGATIONS

THE rule of outlet for outlet is
4 hundreds of years old and to some
extent it is good one. If Mrs. Jones
has entertained you at dinner recently
AM Mrs. Smith has not, it is rather
tactless to include Mrs. Smith at your
next dinner party while making no
plans to have Mrs. Jones dine with
you.
But some people seem to live In con-
slant dread of being as they say ''un-
der obligation" may be just as
much disturbed at having other people
under obligations to them for very
long at time. They don't let a day
pass after a dinner or dance or card
party before they begin to figure out
how they are going to square their in
debtedness.

German Cabbage Salad.

This is one of the most appetizing
of all cabbage salads. Chop a crisp,
hard head of cabbage with an onion
or two. according to the size of the
cabbage; three cupfuls of chopped cab
bage will need one medium-sized onion.
Cut up a two-inch cube of salt pork
into the smallest possible cubes and
fry until brown; pour this Drowned
pork and fat over the cabbage, stirring
and mixing well; add teaspoonfu or
two of salt and in the same frying
pan add enough vinegar to mOisten the
salad. When boiling hot, pour that
over the cabbage. Serve after stand
ing in warm place to keep hot This
is very good when cold. so there is
never any waste.

Cut Out Non-Producers
and Save Cost of Feed

According 10 the poultry depart
ment of the New York State College
Of Agriculture, feed is about one-half
Of the cost of keeping a hen, 80 pounds
being required per year for slightly
better than average production. Dur
ing the past II years the number of
eggs per hen to pay for her cost of
feed has ranged from 4S to Y per
year, averaging g. In 1880, it re-
quired SO eggs per hen annually to pay
her feed costs. About ten dozen are
required per bird to pay the entire
cost.
On this basis you can easily esti
mate what your own flock is doing.
Now is the time to Gull the old hens.
AS with the dairy so with the poultry.
this is the year to weed out the nom
producers mercilessly. Fortunately,
the ratio between feed and eggs is
relatively good, so that if you do Gull
closely and then exercise more than
usual care your poultry business may
come through fairly well during the
next year.-American Agriculturist.

Watch Flock's Condition

Fowls should be handled frequently
If one is to know their true condition.
They are disturbed least by doing this
at night after they have gone to
roost. If too fat. reduce the feed
and increase the amount of bran.
If results are still poor. increase the
amount Of animal feed, such as meat,
scraps, etc. Hens with too much fat
are not in good laying condition be-
cause the fat prevents the egg from
passing through the egg duct. 1t
takes some experience In handling to
detect the pink of condition" in a
laying hen, but 1t Is a knack that
can be easily acquired.

IN MANY parts Of the country the
torch lily or red-hOt poker, cata-
logued both as Tritoma and Kniphofa,
can be wintered in the open ground
with light protection in the way Of
leaves or pine boughs. In New Eng.

ever, it is very often killed, for which
reason it is better to take up the
plants when cold weather comes, stor-
ing them in boxes of dry sand or coal
ashes in the cellar, or with a slight
covering in a cold-frame or a pit. If
this plan were generally adopted, these
brilliant flowers would be seen much

MEN ARE LIKE
THE LEAVES
BY DOUGLAS MAlLOcH

COME leaves keep their green
~ Longer than the rest:
When the old trees lean
Farther from the west,
When the winds blow cold,
When the last leaves fall,
Some green leaf grows old
Latest of them all.
So it is with friends:
When the summers done,
When the season ends,
Farther swings the sun,
Some friends will remain,
Keep their faith with you;
Poverty or pain,
They continue true.
Men are like the leaves,
Fairest in the spring;
When the autumn grieves,
That's another thing.
In the summer scene
Would that we could tell
Which would be the green
When the others fell.
