To give good results, a poultry house must allow the sun's rays to penetrate it in the morning; it must give shade when needed; give the birds outdoor conditions without ex- posing them to rain, snow arid wind- storms.

It may be a little old-, fashioned to whitewash the interior of the coops, aut I still have strong faith in it. Whitewashed walls are not only attractive, but they kill dis- ease germs. Whitewashing is labor well spent. The size of the outside run is not so importapt as is the condition in which the run is kept. A small yard that is kept clean, in which the earth is turn- ed under every now and then, and one which is partially shaded., is preferred to a large run that is sadly neglected.

A contented, healthy hen is known by her quic.k movements and her bright appearance: She sings and cackles, and in many ways shows that "life is one long, sweet song." Hens love peace. The presenee of quarrelsome hens or a tyrant male soon developdiscontent. Everything must be congenial. Environment must not be treated with inaifference. There is a streak of human nature in a hen.

But the secret was on the inside. For there early in the *Inter bad been irnprraoned some lovely, lit- tle, green water fairies by a cruel, cruel witch. All through the long, meld winter, the fairies had lain in their icy prison waiting for the spring to come. Fol. then, they thought, surely the old witch would relent and let them go once more to their beloved home at the bottom of the river. Finally their icy prion did begin to melt, and the little, green water fairies were very happy. But it was not in the mind of the cruel witch to be lenient with them. She called them all together in her nom. in the ice and told them...that before she gave them their freedom, they must per- form a difficult task for her. Then indeed *ere the fairies dismayed. For what tew tortura had the old witch in store for them. aYou must select the ene, whom you consi•der the wisest, to go forth wonsen.

Each female will lay from fifty to 100 eggs between April or May and October, if she is not allowed a nest of egge to sit upon when she com- mences to be broody.
