Edith's next task was to identify
the house. She stepped out into
the street.again and croseed to the
opposite pavement. She looked up
to the second story, but, owing to
the short distance—barely fourteen
feet—that separated her from the
house—she could discern nothing,
save that the windows on that floor
were closely •sheetered.
• She rapidly noted that the door
was the third removed from the

'Whilst wondering what - to do
next, a couple of girls approached
her. They were young and of
course inquisitive. Without any
dissimulation, they stood in front

elder one, trying, with .the ready
tact of her nation, to accommodate
her words to the understanding of
the stranger. "It all depends who

from the others. 'Fedith, who knew

The laying ben is usually seareh-
ing for what she needs to make
eggs. She takes what she wants in
the way of food and lets the rest
alone.
If you compel her to take what
she doesn't want or take nothing,
why, of couree, she will take what
you provide, rather thee starve to,
death, but sho won't lay as many
eggs,
Therefore, we like the proper'
method of feeding. We always pros
vide a self -feeder, hung on the wall
just high enough so the hens can
eat what they want without waeting
it on the floor.
A better method is to provide a
platform sixteen inches or so above
the floor, so the fowl can jump up
and down R.r the feed and water
they desire 6...11 then go back to the
litter to woek for the grain that is
scattered in its
In roe apartment of the self -feed-
er is grlt; another, charcoal; an-
other, oyster shells; another, equal
parts of finely cracked corn, wheat,
barley and oats; in another, beef'
scrape; in still another is placed
dry bran.
' You might think that the hens
will cat too much, but they won't e
thee' will eat only what they want. -
When you find a hen that; lives
off of the feeder and gets fat and
lazy, sho is usually too lazy to work
and too lazy to lay eggs and better
by sent to the butcher.
Scatter the whole grain, snch as
wheat, barley and corn, in the lit-
ter. Feed them whole corn at night,
especially on cool nights. They need
a eropful to keep up the bodily heat
oeeraight.
Give them table scraps and green
food at noon. For green food eve
use cabbages, mangel-wurtzeis,
sugar beets, ehepped apple, etc.
Onions are also relished, but they.
are liable to flavor the eggs.
Noon is also a good time to feed
green cut bone. Give them a little
-
every other day, and only what they
will eat up clean.
It is a rich food, a great egg -pro-
ducer and a little will go a long
way. If you notice a looseness of
the b-owels after feeding, it, cut
down the amount.
Keep them always eager and*
their appetites sharp for fresh meat
and cut bone, and yon will get all
the eggs you can expect.
Once in a while we feed a mash
707 the morning composed of bran,
middlings, beef scraps, eta., mixed
with a little milk or water, It must,
, not be wet and sloppy, but dry and
I crumbly,
Feed them only what they will
eat up quickly and clean. They
shouldn't be allowed to trample on
any that is left over or to leave
any to become sour and foul.
Fowls should have plenty of fresh
water and we never warm it. They
like a cool, fresh drink the same
as we do.
Provide a dust bath so they may
heip to rid themselves of lice. Use
p enty of liquid louse killer and
keep the whoe pen scrupulously
clean.
If a variety of food is given there
is no need of fear about plenty of
eggs, Do not feed whole grain in
hoppers. Only the ground food,
beef scraps and bran is fed there.
If these simple suggestions are
carried out, consistent with your
local conditions, the hens will do
the rest. ,
Two dozen eggs every day will
be just like finding 80 cents in
change in the neeli, according to
our prices for fresh eggs in the lo-
cal market.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
The man who calls improved
stook fancy stock will have an ac-
count to settle with his Master on
the judgment day.
It is time landowners were in-
sisting upon systems of farming
which will conserve fertility. Long
leases, crop rotation ancl stock
feeding form a policy of maintain-
ing foil fertility that should be de-
manded by every landowner.

One of the most difficult -Maks
ever attempted is to make a silk
purse out of a sow's car, but this
s no harder than to make first -
lass pork out of a scrub hog.
A great many breeders seem to
