A hot, stuffy. house is not conducive to health and high produc- tion. Make some arrangement tee summer ventilation. This can easily be done by putting ventilators at the top of house to carry the hot air off. Bring fresh air In from opened win- dows, thus creating a constant circu- lation of air. In houses having shed roofs, fresh air inlets can be placed along the back. This can be done by hingi ig the cornice board so that it can be dropped, allowing air to enter between: the rafters. This draft is prevented from •striking the birds by -lining up inside the house for a short distance over the roosts and down to -the dropping board. This allows air circulation over the birds and keeps the house fresh and sweet. Houses which have high roofs- can use straw hafts to good advantage. These can be made by placing some loose boards over the joists and cover- ing with ,a foot or fifteen inches of etraw. This acts as an insulator, pre- vents the sun's rays beating dawn on the roof, heating up the house. This dst aw-ca i'be used to equally good ad- vantage d vantage in winter as it aids in ab- sorbing the moisture from the house. windows are used under the drop- ping boards these should • be opened up, giving the house every chance to stay cool, particularly at night. Shade should be applied for the laying stock during the day. If trees are scarce, a patch of sunflowers can be sown and fenced off until they get up to good size. Corn sown in rows makes excellent shade. While it is true that the birds do not use the pause a great deal daring the summer it should enver be neglect- ed. Keep the dropping boards cleaned and watch for unites and lice. The nests and roost should be frequently treated. Crude oil applied frequently to the perches and nests will eradicate these blood -sucking mites. Lice, if well established, will reduce the pro- duetian and cause an early moult. If the flock is lousy treat at once with sodium fluoride. This is the hest and mast easily applied lice treatment and will assure a clean flock for six months at least. It is good practice during the sum- mer months to reduce the grain and the birds eat more mash.Theythe mash to insure good fleshing be-! men climb up, shuffling their feet and . ing lozenge under my tongue.

If milk is. not available, ten per cent meat scrap can be added to give the necessary protein. Eve care should be given to pul- lets lets from now until fall; See that the roosting quarters are well ventilated, kept clean and free from mites. Sup- ply shade. An ideal place to raise pullets is in the orchard. The corn field, if not too far away, is an ex- cellent spot. It supplies shade and abundance of insect life. Corn or sunflowers can be sown for shade if it is not convenient to move the colony houses to the earn field. Hopper -feeding both the mash and. grain feed is a great labor -saver, and gives excellent results. Outdoor hop- pers can be constructed which will shed the ram and hold enough to last for several days. If milk is available keep it before the birds all the time, if not, be sure they always have a supply of fresh, clean water, and ten per cent. scrap can be added to the mash. -A very good developing mash can be made from bran, twenty-five parts; mid- dlings, twenty parts; ground oats, twenty parts. Corn, fifty parts; wheat, fifty parts, makes an excellent scratch feed which also can be fed in hopper. As the pullets begin to develop, twenty per cent. corn can be added to "I have grown a bit keyed up by waiting :always to me one of the most, trying incidents of life—and go.gladly to thesee too close."

Good habits are, however, essential. in the child's life if he is to become a good citizen. There are many ideals and stand- ards to be desired, many good habits that should lie formed in early :child hood _truthfulness, honesty,, justice, cleanliness, service, courtesy and obe- dience In this brief article we are to consider but one, obedience, to the laws . of home, school, state and country. If we are to have law-abid- ing citizens, we must have obedient children in the home and •school. It is 'a common criticism to -day that children do not oibey. If this is' a just 'ti ' the fault is with the adult, is the right of the child to be told the . reason for a request or command, but there are times when prompt and un- questioning obedlenee is essential. If a child is in` danger, there may' be no time to reason, argue or explain—in such a case prompt obedience may be, necessary to save him from 'serious injury. - The habit of obedience will. neve be formed through making un- - reasonable or unjust demands, but a remand once made should be followed to the endue -absolute obedience. T There is no: place in society' where the law -breaker is welcome—there is no gang or group in child life in which the child is wanted who. does not re speet the law of the group. The child who does not obey will develop into a citizen having little or no"respect for the laws of the community. • A free country is not a place where every individual does. as he pleases, regardless of the rights of his neigh- bor, but a place where every individual has aright to the opportunities of the, land and the privilege of making the most of them, provided he' does not interfere with the rights- of other. members of society. - - - cism It is the duty of each to obey the criticism, and the place in not the child.
