Every breeder Voila wihes to gain the most out of poultry should use trap neste, riot alone to tell how many egg's the nee laid, but which hen did the laying. By eareful selection each year of those fowls that are steady layers a goud egg strain can be obtained. The _Atlantic City poultry show should please all breeders who are in the market to sell hatching eggs, day-old ciiicks or etoce, as the, birds exhibited at the shore will be seen by thousands who never at- tend a poultry show. It will also interest raany who never realized what pure -.erect fowls were, and should prove an educator in many ways. The International puultry show at But - talo, N. Y., to be held the third week In January, 11113, proznises to be greater than ever. Many uf the breeders from Pennsylvania, New jersey, Maryland and Delaware will shuw there. It being so near the Canadian burder, there Is al- ways a large number of exhibitions to compete against t heir American broth- ers. A. strong hal uf judges has been selected this Year. That the majurity of breeders did not have a good year in the sale ot eggs, litoek and chicks as was expected is wholly due to the unexpected and un- usually hard winter and epring, and in no way to a diminishing interest in poul- try; 1913-14 should prove to be banner Years, and the poultry raiser equipped to meet the demand will be fortunate. Shade in the poultry yard Is essential. Poultry need shade to protect them dur- ing the summer from tee llot rays of the sun. The poultry house is not one of comfort and under natural shade there will be eound a 'ti'culation of good. air that artificial methods eannot equal. Chicks thrive hest on free range. They grow strong and 'hardy and make ele- gant beeeciers when fuily matured. GINTO the chieks as rnuelt room as possible. The selling of matured pullets ready to lay In October and November by a num- ber of well-known breeders should. be weicom,. ; the city Men with but small yard eleaee. The this method the city dweller can obtain 10 or 12 pullets ready to shell out fresh hen fruit when the real article is hard to obtain at any price. It Ls true that enc.!: birds from a good, de- pendable breeder will come from $2 to $2.60 Per bird, bat they are fully worth It, as they will not only lay well during the winter, but Carl he used as euture breeders. Of course, scrub stock wilt cost leas, but they are apt to be dear at any price. Due to the few cants paid above tne regular market price for a white -shell egg in New York, the Leghorn boom is on in full blast. Leghorns are good lay- ers of a white egg, and the large corn- Ascial plants have adopted them as a good commercial proposition. It is better to kill at once the weak chicks bound to be found in any hatch. While it is true they might live, they, eeveetheless, prove to be of no profit to the poultry keeper in the, long run. Barred Plymouth Rocks still lead in popularity throughout the country. They are one of the best all-round fowls grown, and the average farmer sticks to them as his first love. When properly raised and cared for they are good egg producers, and as a tablefood they are AL The beginner usually succeeds beese with the fowls he admires most. There is no one best breed. AU have their good qualities. Some are better than others, but no one breed is perfect in all things. There are egg breeds, and meat breeds, and rnany varieties are good in both eggs and meat. It is to be hoped that our next stand- ard of perfectien sIi1 be une that will stand the test of thee. Ones Iii V years is enough to get a new standard, and if the standard is esrefully made by the 'breeders it Can stand the tet. The international standard talk sounds good, but when the American breeders cannot get together it hardly seems likely that they would glee or take much with their English cousiree ft would be a big undertaking, nnueit as we would. like to see it brought about. Professor Frederick H. Stoneburn, late of Stores Agricultural College, has be- come a citizen of. the City of Brotherly Love, What is Connecticut's luss is Penn- sylvania's gain, Professur Stoneburn be- ing one of the foremost poultry experts in the United States. Better a few goud fowls, well fed, cared for and properly housed than many that are sure to be neglected if put in crowd- ed quarters. -allow at least four square feet floor spaee for each fowl for best results. The average beginner often makes the mistake In crowding. It pays to purehase the best grades of chicle feed Puor feeds often result 121 loss of chicks, ur if nol properly balanced s. poor growth, A cheap chick feed must be composed largely of grains that are cheapest un the market, stoat as corn, Corn is a goed teed, but must be bal- anced by other grains, such as oats, wheat, barley, etc. Clean the broodel, eften, especially as the chicks grow in size, and never put more than GO la a brooder unless the brooder be of epeelal construe:don.

The Ameriean in France and in Italy is sometimes surprised to see men em- brace and kiss one another. The Ital- ians and the French, in' turu, look upon the Anglo-Saxon bow and hand -shake as cold. The touching of the tips of gloved fingers, if more graceful than hand- shaking, must also seem to people of the east as cold and. expressionless. , The bow as a mark of respect is a custom used, by nearly all nations, and one that had its origin in ancient times. ; How to Keep Fresh, Clean Icewater Alwas at Hand The average housekeeper dislikes the ice box with water tank attachment, because the tank must be constantly cleaned. Taking ice from the box to make ice water also has a num- ber of disadvantages, the most import- ant being the reduction of the size of the ice cake in the box and the expense of providing ice for both water and box. There is a way, however, that per- mits the household to have sweet, fresh ice water at all times and does away with both the tank and the ice in the pitcher or glass. It consists simply of having the tinsmith or plum- ber line the inside of the ice cham- ber of the refrigerator with heavy tin piping in a single coil Each end of the coil should be car- ried out of the refrigerator at op- posite sides. One of these ends should be equipped with a faucet and the othor wits a rubber hose long enough to reach to the nearest water hydrant.

USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CATCH FLIES Swatting flies, mosquitoes and other summer insects with a vacuum clean- er seems almost ae plausable a way of getting rid of the pests as wheel- ing a battery of field artillery into action and killing them off with the blast from the guns or knocking them down with shrapnel -and yet the most approved scientific way of rid- ding the family residence of such an- noyances is with a vacuum cleaner, nevertheless. The method is most used on bugs that are constantly flying around the electric light bulbs at night, although It can be used with flies as well. Bugs will fly around a light inle.rge numbers. If the hose of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with au ordinary funnel and this is placed just beneath the light the bugs will disappear as though by magic and a person can sit and read with perfect comfort. When going after flies use the same equipment, but train it on the places where the flies congregate as one would go after dust. It is cleaner and safer than the ordinary swatter of commerce, and, above all, is abso- lutely sure to catch the fly. The cost is very little, only the price ot electric current to run the vacuum machine, and this is even cheaper than. the operation of a clus- ter of lights, - -- PRIZE BULLS. (Montreal Star) During a debate upon the second read- ing of the Irish land bill in 1806, Lord Londonderry, concluded a period with, "This is the keystone of the oill: are you gOillZ to kill it?" Sir Frederick Milne, speaking on the budget. said: "A cow may be drained dry; and if Chat -metiers of the Exchequer persist in meeting every deficiency that occurs by taxing the brewing and dis- tilling industry, they will Inevitably kill the cow that lays the golden milk." Lord Curzon -"The interests of the em- rloyer and employed are the same nine times out of ten -I will even say ninety - times out of ten." Discuseing Mr. Asquith's licensing bill at s. meeting in Shoreditch last Year, a, member of Parliament roused the great audience to a frenzy of enthusiasm bY declaring that "the time had come to stein to the waist and tuck up our shirt sleeves." = HIS BENT. (Harper's Weekly.) "Do you believe that we ever shOw our real bent when we are .children?" asked Dinkel of tho geniae philosopher. "Yes," said the genial philosopher. "I know a. barber in this town who at the age of 5 was the most diaagreeable little shaver you ever tow, and alwayn mixed up in some kind of a bad serape."

Good ond.s THE strong features charac- terizing bonds make them the best form of invest-. merit in which to place your money. Good bonds are invariably secured by properties of proved value and earning power( There is no question of their ability to pay interest and principal when due. The properties securing good bonds are intrinsically sound. Therefore the bonds almost invariably advance steadily in value under skilful business management and supervision. The financial position of the property is safeguarded and watched by experienced reli- able investment firms, whose object and duty is to safe- guard the invested money. There is an established market for good bonds. They can readily be converted into cash or borrowed against at a Bank. The collection of interest coupons semi-annually is simple and convenient.
