How 1 Doubled My Egg Yield in Four Years. • If you were to come to my farm I could show you the methods I use moth better than I ean write about them. leer doing the things which I have built up a thigh -producing strain of chickens is meet:. easier for rne than to sit clown and toll how I do them. When I first started trap - nesting 1 followed direction's implicit- ly, and as I soon became discouraged at the great amount of work involved I abandoned the elaborate system of records that I had ,started. I then thougfht it necessary to carry on the work of the year through. Now I do not start trap -nesting until November or. December, and continue only until March. This is the eritioal period in egg predation, and the hen that lays well during the winter months as al- most sure to be a good producer the year round. That my methods are sountcl is shown by the fact that I have doubled my egg production in four yeas without increasing the size of my flocic. The first year I found that it took so mrr much of ty time keeping the re- cords of the different hens I abantioned the plan, and did not use trap nests at all for several years. Faux years ago I decided to try out a plan which I had been thinkingmf for some time. What I wanted most was to haveImy hens lay during the (winter tenths bagas, cabbage, or -sp proper care and goo of light and fresh lutely necessary tfo production.

' Kp thMdCea ' Dr. Mayo, the celebrated surgeon, says that the next forward movement to be undertaken it the prevention of disease is the procuring of clean mouths among the neople. This will be a surprise to many folks, but the feet remains that the Inman mouth is oue of the worst germ -carrying agents. The mouth,- which -should. be, the cleanest part of the body, becomes the filthiest when neglected. There is nothing more disgusting than a mouth which is a etranger to the tooth brush, or one that is treated only oceasionally to a half-hearted scrubbing with this highly neceestey toilet article. -.A. per- son with such a mouth, wheel sneeznig or coughing., forces into the ate dis- ease germr, which immediately become attached to dust particles, eoitoning the air which others must breathe, with tnyTiads of disease -producing germs such as pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, diphtheria, tonailitis, la- ghippe, the common cold, and mealy others.

'Medical authotities advise us that fully seventy-five per cent. of -diseases either oilginate in the mouth -cm enter :the eystem *Tough it. Few people have any -conception of the enormous number of germs (bacteria) to be found in the hunian mouth. A unser- vative estimate, however, is that the ordinary varieties which aro to be found in a diseased mouth number about fifteen. Bacteria multiply 50 rapidly that tons become millions in a -few -bours t3 the condition of the mouth is favorable to their reproduc- tion. , A noted bacteriologist has estimated, that in a certath unclean mouth there were not less than 1,140,000,000 bacte- ria Think of the condition of the at- mosphere of :a room inhabited by a -person with such a mouth' S'ome of these germs are mote poisonous er disease -producing than others, but it is a fact that the hania-n mouth when te a diseased condition containmany da the snub virulent genne known. i$ ehlecially true of germs 0800- ciabecl with &mated teeth having absce,eses at their roots, aria thou with pue :Atoll may , be peened out from mound: the nodes of the teeth.
