If one pays a visit to one hundred farina in any neighborhood he will find that a very large percentage, generally around '75 per cent, keep no particular breed, have a large flock of all ages, all eizes and colors, throw the feed to them by the pailful but get very few eggs. Ibis is the biggest mistake of all. In the Brat place the farther should de, tide upon what breed ho is going • to keep and then if he ie after eggs, shooed make it a point to lay his foundation with stock from a bred=to-lay strain of the breed he decides upon. In getting the bred to -lay strict, however, he should be careful not to get utility birds which are not strong in constitu- tion, these, will not likely prove pro- fitable, On the average farm, chickens arc not usually batched until late in the season, more being brought out in May and June than in any other months. Now, in order to get els ii; winter, when eggs pay best, it has been pro. van necessary to have the pullets hat- ched earlier than May and June if pos- sible. A June pullet will rarely oom• menee laying in tht•fall, and if,c bedoea not commence befure the real cold wea ther sets in, it is mote than likely that her first egg will not be laid uutil the warm spring days come, .It is, there- fore, imperative that pullets, to be win- ter layers, are batched in March and April in place of the later months. Thie is a mistake that could be easily rectified on most farms by a little care and attention. ORVAL TAYLOR DEALER 1iVinghant, Ont. Phone 26 P. 0.

It would not be a very difficuit, matter on most farms to feed the chtekens a little better, to grade theta according to size and sex and to feed those pullets which have been selected for the laying pen for the coming winter a little extra in the form cf mashes intended to Basten de- velopment and matut lty, Then when fall corues most farther poultrymen bustle all the poultry into one pen, the old hens, the male birds. and the pullets and expect good re- cults. Often they are allowed to roost in the trees until after the snow comes, This is not conducive to early lay- ing. A. better plan would be to care- fully go over the flock, cull out all the hens to be discarded, eel' them, fill their places with pullets, keep the cockerels separate and feed then off early and give the laying pen for the coming winter more attention, While on this point we may say as a general thing it is not advisable to keep hens after two years of age and all birds should be carefully leg -banded each season so that no mistakes will result in selecting and discarding. A third mistake, and one which is all to common, is in the selection of breed- ing stock even on farms where pure- breds are kept. The general practice is to gather the eggs and take out thir- teen or fifteen, whichever is considered a good sizsd setting, Eyed Ase these without any great effort at grading or selection. Now to make the best saccess it would be far better to select from the laying hens twelve or fifteen of the best individuals and the heaviest layers and mato these with the strong- est mala bird on the farm. If a good bird is not available one should be par - chased from another farm, then, a fur- ther selection of the eggs should be mada an nothing but uniform, even - colored. medium-sized, shapely eggs go under the hen or in the incubator as the ease may bo. After the hickens are hatched the general practice is to allow the whole (lock to run together, no culling, no No one is in a better position than the farmer to give his hens green feed and no poultry keeper in winter gives them less of this material. In feeding hens, as in feeding live stork on the farm, it is necessary tha' we keep as close to nature as possible. The hen must have green feed, Writ' not keep a few neangels, cabbages, or other such material hung in her pen so that she can help herrelf ? She must also have grit and shell producing miterial These rosy easily be supplied, but are very ofteis neglected with, the average farm flock, The main form of feeding on the farm•is eo take a pail of grain, throw it on the ground or the bare flnor and let the hens help themselves; this with a little watsr is about all they get, whereas if the whole grain were fed in about sik inches of clean litter, covered up so that the hens had to work for what they got, if the grain feed were supple- mented by rolled oats as a dry mash or by boiled potatoes, meat scraps; boiled bran or some such material as a wet mash and plenty of green food and grit given, better results would be in- variably obtained. It is j est the diff- erence between carlessness and indiff- eretice and good attention which caus- es so many farm flocks to be failures and so few to be succeses. ---.-. = 4-4 To Make a Cake' Level When filling a cake tin remember that the center of the cake is else part Which will usually be the highest, so (spread the batter as much to the sides as .possible, leaving a depress:on in the center; then • the cake, when baked, will be level aird much more aronvenient for icing. nest ...ee ern Military Horses WANTED a=Piding horses 4r, 5 year: to 9 years.

With a little thought and very little money a group of twenty girls friends can furnish the bride's entire kitchen. Let one of the number send out the invitations written on light colored wrapping paper, Roll them up and tie with wrapping twine. It ono iies a large kitchen have the party there, Of course, there must be graters, beaters, lemon squeezers, skimmer, measuring cups, spoons ,call sizes in tin and two wooden ones' with split bowls), spatula, cake tens, bread pans, muffin tins, pie pans (assorted sizes), granite pans with long handles, small tea kettle, double boiler,, steamer, teapot, flour sifter, eeffee scoop, cup for measuring coffee, oil can, ome- lette pans, molds for jellies and pud- dings, cork screws, can opener, ice pick, sink, strainer, dish pans in a kitchen.

Or a Japanese shower is a little more elaborate and quite a favorite just now. You II be surprised to find what pretty an. d dseful Japanese fur- nishings you can get for the bride's new home. The blue Japanese towels, which come et C3 cents apiece, make most Acceptable lunch cloths if sewed to. gather, or may be used in strips through center of table. -Then there are the regular lunch cloths in dif- ferent sizes, and dollies to match, as well as napkins. A -set of curtains for a breakfast or dining room may be made from the towels and a valance over the top. Teapots, sugar and creamer in blue, cups and saucers with plates to match, can be bought for 10 cents apiece. Salt and pepper shakers, a set of four, with a few 'small dishes for marma- lade, pickles and an oblong blue tray for sandwiches make a complete luncheon set at very little expense. A deep blur dish in which to put the numerous little Japanese houses and bridges filled with water, with pieces of horse radish roots that sprout and make a whole city, is a beautiful centre piece for the table and quite the fad just now. If the bride likes birds, a singing bird in a bamboo splint Cage, with }glue and white seed cups in it, will be an aggeptable gift. .

Care of Clothes A rubber sr.onge Is an excellent thing to use when dry-cleaning wool- len material, if it is rubbed briskly against the grain of the material, then wiped with a clean cloth. Mackintosh coats which have be- come hard can be cleaned and made to look new with lime and water. A handful of the best grey lime should be dissolved in half a bucketful of water, and applied to the material by means `of a sponge, the application being repes.tcd after a few hours. Fre•.'e esion of S: re Feet Be :.ore that boots ate well -fitting, with broad soles, the uppers made of soft leather. Wear soft sones.
