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

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.

of Stores Agricultural College, has be-

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. Over-
vrowding results ill stunted chicks, and

shoes.
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

The bow as a mark of respect is a

one that had its origin in ancient

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

"Do you believe that we ever shOw our

Dinkel of tho geniae philosopher.
"Yes," said the genial philosopher. "I

The destruction of the house fly

its filthy origin and habits, and
the fact that his body is generally

The EST Investment
is. 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. Let us
send you our booklet, 'Bonds
vs. Mortgages," and at the same
time give you particulars of
