POULTRY ROTES

Confining broody hens in a tight coop without food or water for several days, as practiced by some, will, no doubt, break them, but. when they are released from their prison tokens are nearer dead than alive ana in no condition to resume laying immediately. When a hen first becomes broody ii is better to let her sit for a few days giving the hen a rest and allowing her system to recuperate and then break her up. After remaining on the nest two oi three the hen may then be confined in an airy coop or pen, large enough to admit of exercise but fret from anything of which she coulc make a nest. —_ Feed her lightly and give her plenty of water.

Another good jail for the broody hen is a small coop with a slat bot tom through which the air can cir dilate. . A sitting hen 'must feel the sensation of warmth under her body when she is on the nest else she will soon give up the work. When confined in a coop such as mentioned and the coop is raised a few inches from the ground the her will soon discover that it is impos sible to import warmth to anything and the broody fever will soon abate Wherever the' hen is confined, however. don’t withhold food or watei and when released she will be ready to commence laying again in a short time. If it is not the intention to set them it don’t pay to let the broody hens remain on the nest without attempting to break them up. 77 if allowed to occupy the nests as long“asTThey are disposed they will often sit for weeks and may not start to lay again for several months. Good, dean runs are a delight to the hens. Sometimes litter gets so filthy that it is worse than none. Turkey eggs set this moi th should give good salable carcasses for Christmas feasts. Leave it to the old hen to pick out the best nest to lay in. She can do it better than yqu can. Two sprinklings a week with kerosene oil should keep the house free from insect pests. But be thorough. Get the screens over the windows now, so that intruders will not disturb your favorites while they are asleep at night. Are you troubled with crows about your chicken yard? Cover the pens with wlia netting. That will fool the thieves, . ... ... Overfeeding must be avoided, as must also underfeeding. Either ex treme will stunt the growth of the young stock. Can't expect to succeed with broody hens, incubators and liple chicks these days, unless we stay close a home to meet all emergenc es. Feed ery little soft feed and yo<. win raise* more chicks. If you hiik: feed soft stuff don t throw it upon the ground. Feed it in a small trough or on a clean board. In heavy-soil localities, gapes artapt to attack young chicks, especially when quartered bn damp, heavy ground. In light, sandy soils this disease is practically unknown. Look suspiciously at eggs that have been laid in a stolen nest. They may be all right, but lest them carefully lest you lead some one who buys then: to say things that will make your ears burn.

AUTO AND GOOD ROADS

Seme months ago a farmer pur chased a good, substantial automobile He and another neighbor drew an oak-saw log to the mill and had mater ial sawed for two good road drags, the timber being 11 feet in length one foot and three inches thick. The edges that moved the dirt were faced with pieces of iron four inches wide and three eighth of an inch thick. After constructing this most effective implement for road-working our neighbor hitched three horses to thf drag, climbed into it and proceeded to drag the road, (he lived at a cross road) and how he does improve ever? highway he traverses. He makes frequent trips with hit drag to town, four miles away, am! already good effects of his owning ar automobile is being observed and fell on our roads, far and near.

DESTROYING TREE STUMPS.

•'fibre a hole about 18 inches dee;, andu to IVi inches in diameter in tht centre of stump in the autumn; put about 2 ounces of saltpeter in a hole till up with water and plug tight. In spring take out plug and pour 8 or Di ounces of petroleum; ignite and tht stump will smokier to the extremities of the roots, leaving only ashes. A ewe without milk makes a poot mother. Feed if necessary to gel the milk flow, and you’ll find the investment a good one. Roots ol any kind, alfalfa hay, or a small grain feed will work wonder*. Children should be taught that t< attain to the greatest success, super iortty brings its own reward even in the smallest duties snd will be oi greater value to the child that wealth.

On Setbacks

BROTHER, SUPPOSING YOU have been deceived, wronged,-- buncoed, flaunted; supposing your earnest plans all have gone awry; supposing your “cherished ambitions’’ have flickered and gone out for lack of •oul-fuel or the thing that glitters. Or granting that the bottom has dropped out of your exchequer, or that your business stronghold has been invaded, or that your love has been ravished—or destroyed—or petrified. Or agreeing that some reality, quite inexplicably and dramatically turns out tbbe a dream.

Well—what then? Were you not —are you not —the better for tt after all? Certainly you were —and are. For you know jf you have thought about it at all, that out of your experience has come your strength, your foresight, your discovery of yourself. Life is not to be lived for plans, or ambitions, or achievements, or love. The person who thinks it is has simply got to find out sometime or other that it Isn’t. The meaning of life is in the development of the individual, and the betterment of the race thereby. Personality and character are back of the whole procedure. The laws of nature all are for progress, growth. If you don’t” improve yourself, propel yourself forward morally, intellectaully, steadily—why, then, some force tn the universe, some law of equity, some, emanation from the God-power is going to do it for you. It may knock you over, it may •brush you aside and out of the road if you seem either stubborn, or hopeless, or too complacent to its driving justice and demand; but it will let you know of its presence and its reality. < So you see that often a “setback” Is nothing more or less than a push from behind by the propelling power of progress in nature and the God element. And there is no such thing as arversity. There is infetead a diversity of ways in which our lives are given the proper impetus to success and untimate development, readjustment, then perfection, being the aim of all the natural laws, and spiritual laws »nd God impulses as well. The water that stays in the pool, or trickles slowly over smooth, earthy courses, is usually muddy, stagnant, vile —the breeding places of a thousand pests; unfit, unclean. The water that runs over the rocks, whipped into foam, divided, whirled about, often shot backward by eddies, and thrown remorselessly over sharp ledges to dash on broken stones, becomes clear, becomes sweet, becomes aereated with the oxygen of life — generates power—is power. The personal character that meets with “setbacks" —that the economic forces and the driving powers of the iniverse. together with the urges of the spirit sense, whip into line — ;ains in purity and strength, in ability and usefulness.

Would Wait.

Farmer Jowson’s wife recently presented him with a son and heir, and ;he neighbors for miles around made this an excuse to call and tender congratulations, and incidentally to taste the farmer’s home-brewed ale. Jinks, the local blacksmith, was one jf those who started with this intent, when he met Joe Thatcher, a neighbor, returning. “Halloa!” said the latter. “Where off to?” “Oh. I’m jest goin’ up to see old Jimmy Jowson an' wish ’im luck wi’ that new boy o’ his,” was the reply. “You’re too late, then,” said the other, solemnly. “Wot?” exclaimed the blacksmith. ’Th’ kid ain’t gone an’ died, has it?" “No; the youngster's all right,” »aid Joe; “but th’ barrel’s out!” “Oh, then I’ll wait till marning.”

WIFEY DIDN’T

“You brute! The idea of your calling your wife the last rose of summer and other insulting names.” “Hold on, judge! I never used that metaphor. You see, a rose dries up some time.”

Easy

Carefully the burglar effected an entrance into the bank. Carefully he found his way to the strongroom. When the light from his lantern fell oa the door he saw this sign; * Save Your Dynamite. This Safe Is Not Locked. Turn the Knob and Open. For a time he ruminated. “Anyway, there’s no harm in trying it it really is unlocked,” said ha. He grasped the knob and turned. Instantly the office was flooded with light, an alarm bell rang loudly, an electric shock rendered him helpless, while a door in the wall flew open and a big dog seized him. “I know what’s the matter with me,” he sighed an hour later, when the cell door closed upon him. ’Tvs too much faith tn human nature—l’m too trusting!”
