I TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS
i
Lack of Vigor In Newty Hatched
Chick* la Often Traceableto
Weakness of Parent*.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To be successful in raising chickens
It is accessary to bare healthy and
vigorous breeding stock, for the lack
of vigor In the newly hatched chicks
is often traceable to weak parents.
Only the most vigorous and tbe best
grown birds should be pat In the
breeding yards. Bach bird ahould be
fall of life and energy and free from
any serlons deformity. Tearllng hens
are usually better than pnlleta for
breeders, for the reason that the hens
are more mature and do not lay so
many eggs during the early winter,
and consequently do not reduce their
Vitality so much before the breeding
season. Vigorous hens 2 to 4 years
old call often be advantageously
retained In the breeding yard. The
male bird chosen should be youiw and
active. An early hatched, wel^evel-
Healthy and Vlgoroua Farm Flock.
Oped cockerel Is usually satisfactory,
or a good vigorous yearliag er 2-year
old Mck may be chosen. The hens
use* for breeding purposes should be
given the best oare possible; they
should be provided with large runs,
and should not be forced for heavy
egg production during the early win
ter.

Women preachers are taking com
fort from the fact that one champion

Appropriate Gardens.
Much that hat ben ttld in regard
to the house applies equally well to
the garden. Let Its style be deter
mined by locality. Formal gardens
with neat hedges snd direct paths are
more and more appropriate as we ap
proach the conventionalities of rlty
life. Leave the picturesque gardens
to spacious, picturesque surroundings.
Winding path* and other features of
the natural garden require to be close
to nature. An orchard Is both more
useful and more beautiful In the prox
imity of the small bouse that Is not
far from town. The cost of main
tenance Is least In the orchard garden
with paved paths, flowering shrubs,
and borders of perennials.
Do not overcrowd the houses, brood
coops, brooder or colony coops.

Everything must be kept clean In
warm weather to keep vermin down.

GIVE ME SOME WAR SAYING STAMPS
MANY PERSONS HELD
BY HYPNOTIC SPELL
Erroneeuely Imagln* That Value of
Money Llee Within Iteelf and Not
In Thoee Thlnge It Will Buy.
Thousands of Americans are under
the hypnotic spell of money. With
distorted viewpoint they have come to
regard money as'a great treasure In
Itaelf whereas money has Its real sig
nificance only in what it buys for us.
A man'* reward for his work doo* not
depend merely on what he earn*. For
the true reward of labor is tie ser
vice the worker I* able to obtain with
the money he earn*.
It 1* evident that a man may earn
twice a* much as he once did in
money and yet be no better off if the
goods he needs cost twice or three
times what they formerly cost. But
it is apparent to all that apart from
Increase or decrease In wages as ex
pressed In money, there Is a wide dif
ference In the real value earned by
person* receiving the same In aotual
cash.
What a parson gets out of the world
In return for what he gives it, de
pend* finally on tbe choice made in
disposing of his Income. One man by
wise buying, careful and consistent
saving and safe and profitable Invest
ment in such securities as War Sav
ings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certifi
es te* sad Liberty Bond*, may trani
form th* reward of hi* labor into all
the necessities and comforts of life
that be requires and even Its luxuries.
Another, gaining exactly the same sum
In aotual caah, may,, through wait*,
extravagance and failure to aave. find
himself unable to secure even the ne
cessities.
* Whether or not a worker earns a
sum which fulfills his estimate of what
"Should be hi* Just reward for labor,
the responsibility for the way he
•pends what he gets remain* with him
and with him alons and cannejt be
transferred to any other person.
(Prices of necessities and wages may
ebb and flow like the tide but the fun
damental fact unchanged that 7
apart from the nature and volume of
his earnings every man can, within
limits, determine the richness of the
reward .of his labor. He can a-com
-1 pllsh this by the amount of restraint
\ and intelligence ho exercises in spend
ing What he ha* to spend and in sav

SCALPER OF WAR BAVING
BTAMPS ARRESTED.
From every Federal Reserve Dl*-
trlot in the United States information
1* being received by the Treaaury De
partment la Waahlngton that a deter
mined war 1* being waged against
ijorions, who, by preying upon the
unwary, are trafficking In W»r Saving
And Treasury Certificates.
The latest information regarding the
activity of the "Scalpers" come* from
St. Louis, where two arrest* have
been made by Deputy I'nited States
Marshals. Both prisoner* were re- ]
leased on s.ooo bonds and are now
waiting for a hearing before the Fed
eral cemmleeloner.
One of the men I* said to have al
tered registered numbere on W*r
Saving* Certificates, It being alleged !
tor St. Louis postal authorities that In ■
the man's office were . fqtm{ $875 in
War Saving Certificates from which
the leglstratlon numbers had beea re
moved. It Is charged that the other
accused msn had In his possession
$866.90 worth of altered government
securities.

a St. Louie brokerage concern; the
other la the proprlttor of a hotel,
urase. Straw, 8 talk* and Leave*
Should Be Plowed Under for
Humus-Making Material.
According to the Ohio experiment
ststlon, vegetable matter, such as
grass, straw,' stalks and leaves, loses
in six months fully 50 per cent of Its
carbon or humus-making material. In
other words, these materials plowed
under In the fall are twice as valuable
for humus as when plowed under In
the spring. Here Is an excellent rea
son why every day, when the ground
is dry enough, should be utilised In
plowing under the dead vegetation on
oar fields.

BRITISH NOW SAVING
LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.
In spite of the exigencies of war,
the volume of saving deposits In Fng-
Isnd has grown tremendously In the
last five years according to the comp
troller of the Drltlah Poet Offce Sav
ings Bank. Only twice, the comp
troller states, was the flow of saving*
deposit* Interrupted: once by the war
loan of IBIS and onoe by tbe t per
cent loan of 1917.
Total depoelt* increased despite the
tact that depositors transferred over
$1,090,000,000 from their postal savings
into th* various issues of the govern- '
ment. The recent figures show con
clusively. the comptroller asserts, '.b# I
