vessels each day inside and out and scald with boiling water once a week if during the breeding season the birds have been yarded it is best to let them out on free range until next breeding season oyster shells and grit are as neces sary now as ever one pound of oyster shells will furnish enough lime for the shells of about eight dozen eggs in some sections of the country where limestone is present the grit obtained by the fowls on range is not sufficiently hard to meet their needs and commercial grit must be supplied grit composed of quartz or granite is the best oyster shell should not be ised as a substitute for grit as it is not hard enough dottes and rhode islands some pro vision should be made to break up the hens that become broody broody hens rarely if ever lay and therefore hens that are being fed for egg production should be broken up as soon as pos sible broody hens should oe removed immediately from the laying house and placed in a coop consisting of a slatted bottom

weather they will be found in and around the nests under the dropping boards and on the roosts an application once a week of kerosene oil or crude petroleum sprayed thoroughly throughout the house will rid it of these pests body lice also must be kept down by a good dusting of sodium fioride this should be repeated in three weeks so as to kill the lice that have hatched from eggs that were on the fowls another method of killing body lice is to grease around the vent with some good lice ointment remove the male birds from the flock after the hatching season is over so as to produce

not get us anywhere neither does pessimism you know the pessimist is the man who on a to shape and mold the child himself by constant instruction punishment and reward our idea now is to make the soil- that is the home life as rich and fertile as possible for our youngsters like the farmer who when he has cultivated watered and drained his garden feels confident of a good crop so we when we have made home what it should be feel pretty sure that the characters which we have planted will grow into sturdy men and women if however we are careless of the home garden and let our children grow up in shallow or unsympathetic surroundings not all the teaching preaching and punishing in the world will make them strong nrd fine any more than water and sunshine given to ripe vegetables after

spirit of partnership fur this gives children the training in helpfulness and in the power to co- lead them to conclude in their hearts that might is right in this life you will deprive them of the training in honesty which is their due the home which is good for chil dren gives them rooms of their own as far as is possible when children do not know from night to night in what room they are to sleep when they keep their things in any old place sharing closets and drawers helterskelter with other members of the family they miss their rights the right to a training in neatness and refinement which it is our duty to give them you do not need to do much fur nishing if you give the girls an empty room liberty to take what thcy like from the attic a few dollars and some free time they will create a iozy place of it and this cozy place may make the girl of disorderly habits neat and the girl of irritable temper sunny and good humored it is at least wortha trial a decent mirror and good

quantity of butter a creamery is turning out every week is one of the main things the success of a creamery depends upon every creamery could double their make with very little extra expense it takes a certain amount of jbutter torpay the running expenses and the butter made over that amount is what a creamery business depends on it therefore requires a considerable amount of cream and to get the necessary amount of cream you must be able to pay the highest price and render the best service and a square deal to all such is always our aim and with our firstclass equipped factory turning out a brand of butter which has found a market for itself among the lead ing brands enables us to pay the price for cream and ren der satisfaction in every way more so this summer on account of renewing our

one cause of missing sometimes the engine of the farm tiuck or car will miss intermittently it will run all right for a period and then suddenly develop a spell of miss ing often we go to the trouble niid expense of having the valves re- ground new spark plugs installed having the carburetor readjusted only to discover later that the trouble is in the ignition however when trouble of this kind occurs there is a simple and effective method of determining whether it is in the ignition or mot when one cf the missing spell be gins remove the high tension wire from any one spark pljg and with the engine running hold the end of this wire onesixteenth of an inch away from the end of the porcelain to which it is normally attached so that in addition to the spark gap inside tre cylinder the spark will also have to jump a onesixteenth inch gap in the outside air if the sparkcontinues to jump regularly the ignition is all right in that cylinder at least on the other hand if the spark jumps eight or ten times and then misses once only to jump regularly for six or seven times and then miss again it is a positive indication that ignition is at fault time to begin feeding a pk six months
