Proper Regulation Of
Light in LAYING House

Pullets that are fully matured, and
In good condition, should have lights
as soon as they are placed in the
laying house. The increased feeding
day will enable them to eat enough
to maintain their condition and stimu-
late egg laying. If, however, the pull
lets are immature when placed in the
house, it is not advisable to give them
more than II to 13 hour day. This
amount of light will enable them to
eat more feed, which in turn will
help them to complete their growth,
but will not stimulate high produc-
ton. If the birds are not fully grown
before heavy production begins they
will become somewhat stunted and
likely lay smaller eggs.
The better the quality of the birds,
the less is the amount of illumination
required to get satisfactory egg pro-
duction of around so to 60 per cent
Some flocks of high producing pull
lets will eat enough food to maintain
their weight and production without
the increased length of day, but even
with these flOcks, winter egg-laying
slump may often be avoided if medi-
UNI amount of light is used.

PETER SEES A CHANCE

Never give up. but be willing to try,
He always wins out who will never
say die.
NTAS ever anybody in a worse fix
w than Peter Rabbit? There he
sat pantirg for breath under pile
of brush in the Green Forest with
Hooty the Owl perched on his watch
tower just above, and, hiding in hol-
low log not far away, Shadow the
Weasel. OF the two Peter feared
Shadow most. He knew that Shadow
knew just where he was. In fact, II
1t had not been that Hooty had hap
pened along just in time to swoOp at
Shadow and chase him into that hol-
low log, it is probable that Peter would
have been caught before this.
''It's lucky thing for me-" thought
Peter, that Hooty did not come along
until after l had got under this pile
of brush. He doesn't know Pm here.
and so he won't be watching for me
at all. Shadow won't dare come out
until Hooty has gone away. and until
then / am perfectly safe. Perhaps |
can steal away while Hooty is watch
ing for Shadow. OF course, if l make
the least sound Hooty will hear me. l
don't see what Old Mother Nature was
thinking of to give him such wonder
full ears. 1t isn't fair to the rest of
u.s."
Of course Peter quite overlooked the
fact that Hooty's eyes are of very lit
tie use to him in daylight, and so he
must do all his hunting at night and
must have keen ears to help out his
eyes in order to get enough to eat.

Beauty Talks
By
MARJORIE DUNCAN
Famous Beauty Expert
Choice of Toilet Preparations
Famous Beauty Expert

MYTH science and genius helping
w beauty culture to make such
splendid strides, the choice Of an eff
fective facial preparation has become
simple matter indeed. Women study
themselves, their beauty needs. They
also study various preparations. They
experiment to see whether the prepa-
ratiOns are suited to individual needs.
So that the choice of a cream or To-
ton is becoming more and more ex-
act, more and more scientific.
Having with confidence chosen a
preparation, the next step is to know
exactly how it should be applied. The
maximum in efficiency and beauty can
be hoped for when preparation plus
method are right.
It is essential for the modern
woman to know how to give her
self a rejuvenating and refreshing
treatment.
A telephone call may mean last
minute engagement. Then, she is
challenged by the new beauty need,
the wish that she could do it all for
herself, the desire to know how.
Method is equally as important as
the choice of preparations, and meth
cd has not been sufficiently empha-
sized. Give an intelligent woman the
reason for doing certain thing a
certain way; explain the how of it
and you will have appealed to her
sense of reasoning. The frections
read: Apply upward and outward
to counterfeit the natural tendency for
muscles to sag and droop downward"
Directions for using bleach should
warn the purchaser not to apply too
near the eyes or nostrils. Because even
a mild bleach is too strong for the
delicate tissues around the eyes. And
bleaches should never be used too
near the brows and lashes or the
hairline for fear of Tightening the
hair.
A skin tonic should be made to do
double duty. When spOnged over the
skin it removes every trace of cream
or grease. Applied on piece of
absorbent cotton and patted upward
and outward with brisk slapping
movements, it stimulates the circula-
ton, regulates the oil content of the
skin and promotes its health gener-
ally.
Directions should emphasize the
wisdom of removing creams and To-
tiOnS aS carefully as they are aDplied
always upward and outward, patting
off as gently and firmly as you pat
when the preparation is applied. Thus
the elasticity of the skin is preserved,
without stretching and without break
ing the delicate tissues.

from the wLite fabrics and this means
more work on wash day.
1t is good plan to select pure white
bath and hand towels. Wash cloths
should always be pure white. for wash
cloths ought certainly to be boiled
quite frequently to keep them sweet
and white.
Some women even prefer pure white
kitchen aprons. To be sure the old
fashioned dark-checked aprons do not
show the soil. but they become soiled
jrst as soon. The pure white apron
has the advantage to the scrupulous
housewife of showing soil. You can
always tell when it should be discard
ed for a clean one. And the pure
white apron can be washed with other
white clothes. and never takes on that
dingy look that comes to colored
aprons when they have become faded
Mothers sometimes regard 1t as an
extravaganza to dress children in pure
white. But the same advantage that
holds in the case of household linens
holds in children's clothes. This is es
pecially true in the case Of very young
children and babies. whose clothes
must he washed frequently.

FEWER BIRDS, BUT
THEY LAY BETTER
Increased Egg Production Is
Being Maintained.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural WNU Service
Hens and pullets are fewer, but
egg production is being maintained be-
cause the fowls are laying more eggs
per bird. On October /, 1881, there
were 60 per cent fewer hens and
pulletS for layers in farm 1ocks of
the crop reporters as compared with
october ! year ago, and there were
5.2 per cent fewer young chickens. An
increase of per cent is reported for
young chickens other than pullets for
layers.
Egg production has been maintained.
says the department, despite the de-
crease in layers. The number of
eggs laid per farm flock was reported
as 1856 eggs on October l, compared
with 49, eggs on October, 1880, and
Is eggs for the October 5-year aver
age. The aggregate of 10 reported
layings on the first of each month
from January to October is 291.1 eggs
per farm flock in 1881, compared with
300 eggs in 1890, and 2S5.2 eggs in
the five years 1925-1929.
Converting the statistics into eggs
laid per hen," the department says
that the October average for 1881
was 1852 eggs per 100 hens and pull
lets of laying age, compared with PAS
in 1880, with 25.7 in 1929. and a s.
year average of 252 for that date.
Ten reported layings, January to Oc-
tober. aggregated 1895 eggs per 100
birds last year, against 1922 eggs
in 1890, and $40 for the 1925-1929
average.

A STORY FOR BEDTIME
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

on his watch-tower with his eyes fixed
on the hole in which Shadow had dis
appeared. He took care not to make
sound. Where the brush was very
thick he crawled on his stomach
through the snow under it. And so
at last he reached the edge where he
could peep out. Just little way off
was big stump.
IF l could reach that" thought Pc
ter. without being seen, think per-
haps | could steal away. There is a
little hemlock tree just beyond, and
If l can once get that between Hooty
and me he never will see me in the
world. 1t is my one chance to get
away from here, and after I've done
that will have to trust to luck to fool
Shadow. He'll follow my tracks as
sure as winter is here. once Hooty let's
him out, and Hooty isn't going to sit
there all night"
Peter looked back over his shoulder
up at the top of the tall dead tree
which was Hooty's watch-tower. Right
on the very tip-top sat HOoty. If Pc
ter had not known he was there he
certainly would have thought Hooty a
part of the tree itself. Peter shivered.
and it wasn't the cold that made him
shiver. Did he dare to cross that open
place to the big stump right in plain
sight of Hooty if he should turn his
head?
