HILL.. • This may seem like looking a long' way ahead, but to be successful in tho' poultry business you have to flu it. Cheek up on yourself and .find out j 41.,1; where you creed improve on what your flock did last winter. Was there frost on the, inside of your houses? If so,knock a few holes in the front, up near the roof and oover them with light weight cotton. Was the floer damp? If so, throw in a few wagon loads of sand, or better still, put in a double board floor with tar paper in between, and cut .a few holes in the wall under it for ventila- tion. These should be -covered with sand screen. The ventilation under the floor its very inip'ortant, If not ventilated the board floor will get frosted underneath and will carry the cold through. How is your roosting space? We ran across a poultry house the other day that had two scantlings leaning against the wall, with poles placed across for roosts, and no drop board. This is bad for two reasons. The. hens will always fight to get on top roost, and without a drop boar the hens were tramping in the drop- pings all day long. The owner was complaining about his hens having the rnun all winter: We to:d'him 'he was lucky to have any bens :eft. • `eheee aro jest a few questions you might askyourself in l.roparing for nest winter. They are the three most. important - items about the poultry house, Ventilation, dry floor, and the proper roosting places. If your house lacks any of these, your best care in feeding, culling, or high-grade stock will not amount to anything, It is not too early to start fixing up your houses, as this can't bo done When the pullets are housed, and that time will soon be here. By this time you should have your young cockerels in the fattening pen. The longer you leave it the less you will get. Make sure they get all the water they can drink. The best thing for hot weather is a barrel shaded with boards, and a tap turned so that it drips slowly. Dig a little furrow to take care ofethe overflow.

Powder won't stick on it properly, and besides the oiliness there are likely to be blackheads and other complexion troubles. But the possessor of an oily skin has this con- solation. Her skin will probably keep' its youthful appearance far longer than her dry -skinned sister's, since it does not wrinkle so easily, nor so soon fall into a network of tiny lines around the eyes and mouth. Although it is hardly possible to change an oily skin into a dry one, by careful attention you can keep it look- ing well groomed and attractive+., and if' you faithfully follow the simple daily treatment outlined in this column you will see a definite im- provement in its texture and general appearance. Once a day the skin must have a complete and thorough cleansing. At night is the best time for this, since you are likely to be less hurried than in the morning. Then, too, your skin, being relieved of the dust and impur- ities it has collected during the day, can rest and refresh itself while you • sleep, and be all ready to look its best in the morning.

Don't let the ice rest in one spot, but keep it moving briskly until the skin is pink and tingling.

Lastly, moisten a small piece of absorbent cotton with First, wash the face and neck with a pure, mild soap and warm water, to ] remove the surface dirt. 'Next dip: your fingers into a jar of good cold! cream and rub the cream thoroughly into the skin with little circular move- ments of the fingertips, working from the chin upwards. Do not rub hard enough to stretch or pull the skin, but' just hard enough to work the cream. well into the pores.. It may seem strange advice to use cold cream on a skin that is already, too oily, but in an oily skin the pores are usually large and relaxed. The oil is not all thrown out on the surface.] Some of it stays in the pores, collects I dust and dirt and hardens. This is the cause of blackheads. Soap has lit -1 tle effect on this hardened ore, but the' delicate oil in cold cream sinks into! the pores, softens and loosens their contents, and is then wiped away, bringing all these clogging wastes with it.
