A good egg laying ration ahould consist of the following: Three part* corn meal ami one part beef acrnp mixed together and fad In a dry-mash hopper to wbleh the fowla will have access at nil time*. In addition to thla a scratch ration conalatlng of equal part* cracked com •nd Oata abould be ted twice dally. When no table acrnpa are available It will take about one quart of scratch grain dally for twelve to fourteen fowla. However, this can be reduced when table scraps are fed uml a cer tain amount of natural green foed, ■Uch a* era**, I* available. In providing the fowl* with a suit able house It ahould be remembered that the essentials of *ueh n building are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and nflldent apace *o that the fowl* will not be crowded. Usually each fowl ahonld be allowed four square feet of floor apace. If available, scrap lum ber from dry-goods boxes, etc., can ho utilized to conatruet such a bouse. The coat will be considerably less than when lumber Is purchased. If mtill clent lumber Is not aVnlinble for the entire house a rough framework well covered with ordinary rooting or tnr {taper will answer the Immediate needa. When the heavier fowls (Plymouth Rooks, Wyandotte*, Ilhode Island Reds, etc.) are kept all females should be disposed of at the end of their sec ond year. Inasmuch as In most cases they will cease to be profitable at the end of that time. The lighter breeds (Leghorns, etc.), however, can be prof itably kept as long ns three years. By disposing of the hens In this way n part of the flock must be renewed erft-h year. Consequently, considering that the percentage of cockerels and pullets la anally about tho same, nnd that a certain percentage will die beforo reaching maturity, It is customary to luitch more chicks each year than I there are hem In the flock.

Learning how to mske money Is, only hulf. It Is learning how to spend wisely snd save Judiciously that counts. Even saving does not necessarily mean wise spending, since the proa ent day offers so many equivalents tot our monsy. It Is only by making a careful, systemstlc study of the house hold administration thst a proper bsl ance msy be found between the dif ferent Items In tbe average budget of the home. There are Items in every household on which too much money Is spent The fact must be faced that If too much 1s spent on clothing, for In stance, less must be spent for other nocesiltles of life. Saving, however, Is the item that should b* most emphasized. Poor houses are full of people who did not have a savings Item on their budgets Unemployment, sickness, old age and many othei- demands necessltats a call on tha ressrvs fund, ths lsck of which will result In suffering and want. Every going enterprise Is conducted on systsm. If the home Is to be a suc cessful Institution it must also com ply with this wise rule of economics Systematic household accounting wIU mske a home more cheerful and pros porous. Household accounting alone, however, will never return Its full ben eflt until It is backed by an Intelligent family budget. One must consider tbe problem ol whether it is wiser to pey rent or tc build a home. In a large measure thlt depends on local conditions as well at the size of the Income. Amusement and recreation are es sentlsl In family life. The child and the adult should have an allowance for this, though ths total be very small, averaging from 4 to 5 per cent of the Income of the family. Ths wise spender plans the needs ol the family so that the amount spent In the "miscellaneous" Items will be as small as possible. This item should not be a "catch all" la home records.
