What we try to de, therefore, is t provide as aearly spiengeteme coedi- tions as we can in tee whiter. In ads <Mien we want goad quertors, and good management. While otui market hooks! aye fordeil foe all the winterc33 we can get out of Diem, wo ehave 'a Separate pen of fowls which we are going to breed from in the spring. Ther se beeders are ,not forced, becaesa. foreleg al - wave eventually lowers vitality and causes poor We belie our houses as worm as is consistene_with proper ventilation; without having any artificial heat; this Weber we believe to be a needless expellee, if not a positive danger. If the fowls aro made to exercise suffa- ciently, they will need no supplied heat, Where tbeweather is more or less changeable duringthe winter, the fowle- should be protected from midden changes; because they have a more disestrous effect utme egg preelection then has extreme told. In warm win - tee weather, we throw the lumsee wide open dueing the day, and after night *wide somewat more than tbe usual amount of ventiletion, Then when the th weaer turns cold, we close up the houses as tightly as we can and still inaintain good _ventilation, according to the sevevity of the weather, tlf course, we use muslin curtains in the front of our Meese so thatthe fowls are always sure of fresh air. In regard to the number of fowls that may 'safely be kept id a house of a certain size -we prefer six to eight .square -feet Of house room per fowl. leive feet per fowl is the minimum . for best results. Our houses are divided. into pens ten by twelve feet each, and WO keep fifteen -fowls in each, thus givingeach hied eight square feet of floor space. - The feed is eimportant, for the hen is like every other being in the respect that she cannot produce something from nothing, and she must be provid- ed with the proper materials for con- verting into eggs. The natural toed of poultry Is gram, insects, bugs and worms, and green stuff. This makes such a well balanced ration that about the beet thing we can do is to try to match it. We feed twice a any, morning and evening, with green tome supplied at noon. Our maiming feed always cen- gists of a variety of dry grains seat- tered in a deep litter. ho that the birds will have to bent and. scratch for all they get. Exeree is necessary, for it is the busy hen that gets fat and per- sists in living the "simple lite" when it comes to producing eggs. At noon WO supply some kind of green food, giving as great a variety; as possible. Any kind of grass or green stuff is all right, so are vege- tables, roots, bulbs --and tubers of any: sort that the birds will eat. If no: supply of fresh green food is available,' the next best thing is to use alfalfa or clover hay freely. It can be fed; dry but should also be steamed and' led as mash occatsionallyr The evening Math, fed the last thing before the fowls go to roost, is a Moist math, consisting mainly of cracked Corn, middlings, bean, etc. Sometimes on very cold days, we also gtite a feed of whole corn that has been thorough" ly heated because -it helps keep the fowls warm. The water we use in mixing up the mash 88always warmed in winter. Some people prefer to feed the mash In the morning, with the grain feed at night. This is all right if it is more convenient, although we find that the fowls take more exerMse if they are fed grains during the day. Birds usu- ally fill ap pretty freely on soft food, being able to fill their crops he just a few moments withotkeexercise. This makes no difference in the evening vvben the fowls are about ready to go to roost, but in the dayeime we Want them to scratch and. rustle around and exercise while eatihg. - ...Animal food in some form is neces- sary to take the place of bugs, events, insects, etc. We use either gremul beef scraps or green cut bone. Of course, grit, shells, etarcoal and good drinking water are .always accessible to the finds. e, Hay Feeding and Heaves. The term heaves is applied to that condition or disease of the horse which is characterized by heaving of the flanks, because u double bellows - like motion is seen as the horse ex- hales air. This generally is accom- panied by a spasmodic cough and ex- pelsion of gas from the rectum. , A borso affected with heaves has a rough, staring, unhealthy 'coat of hair, tends to have stocked legs, usually shows a "hay belly" and easily eweats and tires at work. In many cases there is a distharge from the nostrils, but most often it takes the form of flakes of mucus about tbe orifice of the nostrils. The eeces very often are teethe,. end have a bad odor, In some -eases, On the contrary, the horse is constipated. The disease is not purely a lung disease, as many farmers thiek.

If one mem-, her of the family is so affected, he; ould be eery caidul to cover his, mouth with a fresh handkerchief when he coughs; te, keep far enough away from the rest so that they will not get his breath. In many families the laundry basket is the receptacle for all" soilea.elothing, and handkerchiefs are dropped' in there, trusting that ape process of laundering will sterilize them. This cannot be depended upon, for germs are tenacious of life and many people do not boil their clothes, but merely pouj. boiling water ppon them. In this waY, not only handker- chief but other garments may become the source of danger. Ran no risk, but disinfect handker- chiefswith a ;eolution of carbolic acid or.something else which your druggIst may recommend to you as safe and certain. The best plan is to wash the handkerchiefs, by themselves, :and to boil them thoroughly for at least twenty minutes.

Covering Books For School Children If anything needs a neve coat at this time of year it is the faithful school- book. Besides giving the schoolbook an interesting and artistic air, this cover- ing at their shabby outsides is a hy- gienic ana practical proposition, too. What is more, youngsters are sure to teem meta intermit and pride in the books that ate attractively garbed. So beee etre some suggestions tor doy- en and sets that will please the kid- dies immensely. Oilcloth is by feeethe most practical fabric for the purbose. Either the thin pebbled cloth to be bought ily the yard at wallpapee 'houses, the sort of WhiCh 130 numy luncheon sets have been made, or the beigat, .shiny kitchen - table kind may be used. The latter has to be treated to a dose of oil and pumice stone vowder to remove- some of the gloss and leave a surface rough enough., to hold the paintecl &more- tionsi-e" The oelor will disappear el the oilelteth is allowed to -remain in the air fair 0 few days, though the linseed oil and pumice will partly remove that, too, These covere may be stenciled or painted free-hand. Little girls will loye the white cloth covers stenciled in :flower borders, especially the bright nasturtiem borders, ithile the little boys will take more kindly to black oilcloth with more or less conventional desigas, maybe just a lineeor two of gay lhttering telling nanid, sehool, grade.and the mute oe the book.

To go with the oilcloth eel/en, make etiVelope 07000 long onougb to hold the pencils, pow, ereeers ant - ruler. This should he stenciled to' match and buttonholed with the wool on the edges, or "pinked," or bound with colored braid. And then to carry, the books, pencil, envelope and lunch,' there should be a big enevlopo schoolbag, also of the oilcloth, with! stiffenedsteeps to sling over the shouldee, or one l'ashionecl like mother's paper market bag with two rope...handles covered with the oilcloth. Now that the challie and English Paint idea is so strong for dress pur- poses, even for the kiddies themselves, it would be rather a nice idea to have the book covers made from 'some of the quaint sprigged materials. School books (7 long time ago made use of such materials foe covers, but they can be modernized so that they a -re 11. bit more sanitary than the oldee variety.: Some of that glazedchintz they, use for upholstering at present might do, too, and that could be wiped off with a' cloth Wrung very', very dry. The other eovers cif challis, calico and per- cale pieces of which 1111103 1)0 lyinf in the ecrapfbag right 11071 big enough for book covers, can be fashioned so es to be removed and weshe(1, The best leery to do this is to hem 2110111 or bind them with braid rend provide them wieh seeps Where corners lap en in- side of the cover.

Something had to be done to avoid, disaster. so welting three or fele days until a rairiy 7000 day arrived; I gave to ea:di eolony some huge balls of candy, mile by mixing pulverized Reser with euffiee ere: extracted honey to form a stiff dough. Epough was made to give 1,3 each coloneeabout fifteen pounds. This candy was placed directly on the topsof the frames of the brood ebamber, and an extra empty hive body pieced ontop of the brood body. Burlap was laid over the candy, a thick layer of planer shavings 7103 Placed on top or the burlap, and the entire hive was wrapped with waterproof paper, leaving only the entrance open. As an experiment 1111(1(10 some hale] candy by boiling gennulated sugar with extracted honey, and gave a large coke of this to eaeli of three coleenies: In the spring I found that practically every colony that had110011given the. soft candy came through the winter in fine shape, but the ones that had been given the hard candy perished. The hard candy waventoucbed beeause the bees did not have access to water with which to• moisten it. The cause ofethe shortage of stores was that from- the last of September to early frost there 7105 a complete drying up of nectar in the fall blos- soms, and as tbe weather was unusual- ly mild the bees bad consumed tbe stores they already possessed. Simple Manner Of Teeting Seeds. 18 is a simple matey to tet seeds before sowing: Take a piece of \vhite flannel, put it in a equeer with Water sufficient to saturate it and keep it so. Count the seeds that are placed on the flannel and make a record of the number. Cover with paper or another saucer turned over it. Blotting paper may be used in plan of flannel. Keep the saucer in a warm plaee. The per- centage of growth can be 'calculated by counting how many eeedS 111 the hendied grow. . • In spite of food hardships, tee pro- lific 'pig inceensed en numbers last year, in Greet Britait, by nearly 250,- 000.
