It is just as important to 'UM the noultry comfertable in eunnuer as it 18 in. welter. "Comfort" should be the motto of every poultry keeper,. mad it ehould be strictly enforced. To remain tioaltaY anti vigorous, both fowle and chicks must be protected from the burning rays a the sun. To deprive the stock oe sunlight would be fatal.

But no. fowl can thrive when long ex- posed to the heat of the euu, so there should- be shade at let in, the beat of the day. Dense and complete shade Is to be avoided. Air and sunshine in moderation are important factors in the growth and thrift et stock, Natural alone is desirable and rnit trees are particularly good, since they give shelter as well as erops that can be sold at a profit. They provide shade dttring hot weather and, dropping their leaves for winter, allow the sun- shine to strike past their limbs in cool weather. Evergreen trees planted in hedges for winabreaks for winter al e° furnish a dense- and cooling shade in summer. Shade ean be furnished artificially In different sections of the yard by using branchee of trees eut in full foliage, or by driving three foot stakes in the ground and covering them with a canopy of burlap, or by erecting frames made Of wire netting or lath, covered with hay or straw. The prime importance of sunlight In sanitation is universally acknow- ledged by the medical fraternity. It is nature's great disinfectant and the direet rays of the sun will destroy dis- ease germs. So the beneficial effects of sunlight must not be ignorekl. The question is how can it best be controlled so as not to do damage to the stock. • It is not uncommon to have heat prostrations during hot weather, es- pecially in the case of heavy fowls, the birds suddenly dropping oven insen- sible. The cause is attributed th the heat making a pressure on the brain. Exposure to the hot sun is frequent- ly the reason. I might go through the entire list of poultry ailments and find where sun- shine acts as a tonic as well as a pre- ventive of diseases. The lesson is then that we have our poultry houses so erected that the sunshine can enter at infect certain hours of the day to dis the interior, drive out dampness and destroy disease germs. The yards must at the be only partially shaded, so th stock may be able to get a cool place. Failure to provide for this may result in serious loss. Probably at- no time is the hot sun during more dangerous to fowls than . moulting season. Moulting is nature's condition for exchanging the old, for a in - worn -out weather beaten suit fresh, clean one. Quite frequently dividual birds will be almost entirelYe hot nude, and when exposed to th sun the skin not only quickly reddens sore. 'but is apt to blister, and become It is just as important to shelter It is ms. moulting fowls from hot sun as to protect them from cold stor NOTES. Growing ceicks will not thrive if they are tea given the proper amount of shade in their runs They must be protected from the strong rays of the sun. Niagara Farm, in Ransomville, Niagara County, New York, has adopt- ed an excellent method for providing, shade for young birds. A field of ten acres is fenced off and planted in corn. After the stalks are about two feet high, colonies of young chicas, with their coops scattered here and there all over the field, are quartered on this cornfield. They are not only pro- tected from the hot sun, but aro en- abled in this range th gather consider- able bugs and sprigs of grass that crop up As the chicks grow older the corn stalks grow higher. It is the best provision for shade I have seen yet, and as the corn is planted in kills, there is still sufficient space left for the sun to shine in and keep the ground for becoming too damp for the (Ike chicks. It is .the best wrinkle I have Yet Come acrose as the corn crop more than pays the cost of planting and what other expense may be incurred. The -four chief requirements in rais- ing chicks are space, ehade grass and insects. These four requirements are met by the Niagara Farm plan. But this will be unnecessary where there is an orchard or grove. The next best substitute would bo the planting of shrubs. Not only mutt there be partial shade le the runs or range, but th'e howies inust be so constructed that the air an pas sthrough and that the hot - roofs can be more or less cooled by proper ventilation. -Michael K. Boyer, la:entry editor of Farm Journal. ?there is no farm stcck welch re pays good care as quickly as the`hen, but it must be good care. ' Do not wash eggs.

Take advantage of the sum- mer prices by all means if you cate to add new blood to the flock. Separate the cockerels from the put. lets now, and market every one that is not to be retained for breeding pur- poses. The pullets will do much better for the additional room and feed. The cockerels will bring more money now than if , kept until full grown, It is now in the midst of the heat of the summer, the • hardest time in the growing period for both young and old fowls. Eternal vigilance is the price of a ,healthy flock of poultry. One must provide plenty of fresh water, shade and well -cleaned poultry houses isa gatiefactory growth of the young stock is expected o'r the breeders that are kept are to be in the prime of health. Don't be sparing with the feed just because it is high. "Money saved is money earned," is an old saying, but It does not apply to the feeding of poultry. If one saves money by une derfeeding now, the growing pullets will be longer in producing their first eggs if checked on the way to maturity by underfeeding. Young stock can never regain what is lost in 'weight which . should result in good feeding the first three months of their lives. 44 • I* "Lonely" and "Lonesome." Here's the distinction between the words lonely and lonesome, although often they are used in the same sense. "Lonely" meaas to be ;deprived of hu- man society and companionship while "lonesome" is the dejection and sad- nessadue from lack of society. The one is a state of being, the other a state of mind. T. be lonely is ,entirely physical, while lonesome is exclusively mental and may be the result of actual lone- iness or may merely be an imaginary lonesomeness caused by mental de- pression. The difference between the words is better illustrated in the following: A man is sitting in the library of his home, both lonely and lonesome. The telephone rings. Friends invite him to join a merry party theinin progress a few nines away. In order to reach this Darty he must mount his horse and traverse a lonely and dangeroue road. In this journey he is lonely, for the road is lonely, but he is not the least bit lonesome; for his thoughts are pleasant in anticipation of the en- joyable evening he is about to spend with gay comrades. -St. Louis Poste Despatch. _nee- , The pessimist never hitches his wagon to a star because of the clouds.

A feed - Mg place should be construeted in such a way that young colts can enter and older Ste* cannot. Grain should be fed liberally in this separate pen. Colts should not follow mares. at work in fields during summer and fall. They should be left in clean stalls, paddocks or pastures where they can not hurt themselves. Colts love company and where there are a number of them on the Perm, they should be in the same stall, paedook, or pasture while the mares are in the fibld.

ADVANTAGES OF SHEEP RAISING. 1 The sheep is a dual purpose ani- mal, producing both wool and -mutton. 2. The initial expenditure Is small. Every farmer oan well afford the In- vestment of the necessary cepital In a few steep. 3. Rapid monetary returns are re- ceived, the wool- clip and the lamb crop being saleable annually. 4. Expensive buildings are by no means necessary. A warm lambing pen is required, bettor the aged sheep, a thelteeed shed to protect them from the winter winds is alone sufficient. 5. Weed aestruction eepreeents an- other asset. Sheep will eat and relish almost. every "lase of weed. 6. Sheets- admittedly improve soil ferhility. Their manure is rich and uniformly distributed. 7. Etecept at certain seasons of the year, less time and atteation need be bestowed upon the care of sheep than. in the case of almost any other ani- mal without thereby endangering -suc- cessful results.

The coyote wanders hp and down the earth, howling so iouu that he Can oe heard a long distance away e and all bemuse he has the toothache, and It is a vary sharp toothache that ne cries so loud, as if that woalif ease his pain! . . s But though everyone knows that the e.oyote howls, yet everyone does not know that he does so because his. teeth aches, and even if they do know :hat he has -an aching tooth, very few know how he came to get such a pain. Tbe Pueblo Indians know, howeve,r and even the little children are told all about the coyote, and when they hear his sharp cry they know the toethadie is very bad. The coyote did not always howl so dIsmally, for in the very beginning of the world his voice was agreeable. When the world was first made and all the animals mile ntio existence, the gods of the Indians gave the coyote a bag made Of skin and told hire to carry it to a great white moult - tale which stood far to the south, but warned him that on no account must he open it. The coyote took .the peg and started off, running as hard as he could. He ran and he ran and he ran, for many days and many nights, and- hebecame very hungry, but he could find hothing to eat.

Tachienlu, which. derives it import. fume from befog what is called anises gateway to Tibet, is one of the ;plea- cipal inuisk markets of the world. During the past 'few years a large firm with headquarters in Paris stationed a representative at Ta,chienlu for the sole purpose of buying musk. It is very difftcult to obtain pure musk, and every pod has to be carefully exam- ined. While musk is exported at sev- eral points along the Tibetan border, the best quality is obtatned at•TaChien- lu. Three thousand pounds of musk on an average are shipped every year from Chungking, and It is estimated that fully half of this amount passes through Taahlienlu. Most of the musk is sent to France where it is employed In the manual°. ture of perfumery. The must Is not only used for the perfume that wears this name, but is a most essential in- gredient M all of tee better classes of perfumery. Musk has certain radio- active properties that cause the odor of the perfume to be carried through • the air In a way that would otherwise be impassible. The radioactive pro- • perty of the musk atfects most genii - lady the natives who oarry it. If it es held close to the body for any leugth of time it produces sores that are pro- bably similar in charatter to those caused 'by pure radium. The musk pod above referred to 'Is a sort of gland or pouch a the male deer, and the musk itself is secreted only during cartel), seasons of the year. It is said that this highly odor- ferous secretion Is provided by nature (to enable the musk deer to be followed by its mate. This spebies of animal is muclr smaller that, is generally sup. posed. It is seldom snore than three feet long and twenty or twenty-two inches tall. It is becoming- mere and more scarce each year and at the pres- ent rate of destruetlon will eventually become extinct.
