Poultry Pointers
An old brush is a gooff tiling with
which to apply liquid mite killer to
roosts and nearby woodwork.
Be careful that the growing chicks
do not crowd in their coops as they
become larger and need more room.
It is wise to scald all feed and drink
dishes every few days with boiling
water to kill the germs that collect
there before they (the germs) have a
chance to attack the fowls.
Don't let the drinking water for the
fowls and chicks stand around and
become hot and filthy, but give a new
supply frequently during the day,
cleaning out the water dish each time.
Feed three times a duy and no .
more, but add rolled oats to the chick !
feed twice a day or stale bread ;
crumbs or cornbread will do if there
are no rolled oats on hand.
It Is not economy to feed young or
old stock on one grain, for a variety
will produce better results from a
smaller amount of feed.
Feed sour milk or beef scraps to
help build muscle, feathers and bone,
one per cent of bonemeal should also
he included in, the ration..'
If there Is no natural shade for the
chicks, block up the coops so that the
< hicks cjnj. get under them, or huih!
shelter tents, or in some way provide
artificial shade.
Careful breeding, prop ‘r feeding,
and the right kind of care, will pro
duce heavy laying in any breed of
, fowls.
The first chick feed should be a dry
I mixture of cracked grains. Cracked
corn, wheat, kafir, and pin-head oats
! are all good.
The Runt is the largest of the
pigeon family, but they are slow
breeders.
Shutting Up the Shop.
It is rather surprising to the foreign
er visiting South American countries
for the first time to find most of the
best and prettiest shops almost Her
metically sealed at night. If the build
ing is of the older style of construc
tion the heavy shutters are closed and
locked by iron burs; if a more moderti
building, the flexible sliding doors and
windows are completely drawn, and
the passerby cun see nothing within
the shop.
All is darkness save the light of the
street lamps; no brilliantly lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to the street.
In European and American cities the
average merchant is willing to spend
money freely for nightly display of
his wares nnfi merchandise. lie real
izes and appreciates the publicity.
The evening crowds upon our streets
are highly entertained and even in
structed by window displays of the
busy streets.
Herein lies the difference; for, as
a rule, the South American streets,
busy and attractive during the day,
are quite tlie reverse at night. Even
in some of the larger cities the old
custom of hermetically sealing the
shop at night prevails.
New Place-Names for Canada.
]$y the decisions of the geographic
hoard .of Canada made in April and
May three “Trouts” are eliminated
froni our list of place-names. Which
is well, because there are plenty of
“Trouts" left, enough in fact to still
cause confusion.
A lake and river emptying into Hud
son bay, in the I'atricia district of
northern Ontario, have been relieved
of the name. Trout, and given that of
Sutton; a lake and river in Saguenay
country, Quebec, that bore bo'h the
name Trout and Petite, have been giv
en the Indian name, Mataniek ; and
a third Trout disappears by calling
the river north of Pontax river, in
nortli Quebec, Opamwastlk.
A river empties into James hay,
south of Enstniain river, Mistassini
territory, Quebec, had been called
Sheep river. Its new name is Miati
kush, this Indian name meaning sheep.
In tlie new north these Indian
names seem particularly appropriate;
most of them are euphoneous, and they
are associated with the traditions umi
the history of the original population.
A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING
Nearly half of the population of
France was engaged in farming before

Because of the scarcity of wood in
Switzerland about 70 per cent of the

A Jacksonville (Fla.) newspnper

and, in fact, used by one.

Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bu

to science as a silent mosquito.
A submarine tender built for the
Brazilian navy can admit an underwa
ter boat into its hull and carry it or
subject it to extreme water pressure
to test it.
To carry smaller boats within large
cruft a Dutch inventor lias patented a
vessel with hinged doors at one end of
tlie hull, through which boats can be
floated.
An Aviator’s Audacity.
The audacity and coolness which
so strongly characterizes the exploits
of the aviators in the war, is illus
trated hy tl.t* following anecdote: A
Iteigiar. aviator who lwi t just de
svended with his clothes riddled with
bullets, was questioned hy his friends
as to the results of his expedition.
“I was in their lines,” he said, “with
a view to taking photographs, when
I was charged by a Fokker with two
machine guns. I was unarmed, lie
pursued me. Well, I could make no
other reply to him, so I photographed
him.”

The Difference in Women
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
(Copyright, 1916.)
I hold it true, whate’er befall,
1 feel it when I sorrow most—
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
It is not always smooth sailing for
a widower to venture a second time
into matrimony.
Pespite the fact
that it. is Iiis busi
ness, and his
alone, everyone
who knows him
and many whom
he never heard of
take a lively in
terest. in watching
for developments
if fie is seen in
the company of an
attractive, mar
riageable woman.
Spinsters look
on with keen rel-1
ish, wives with
fear. It Is the
subject which the
average confiden
tial wife feels a delicacy about when
she attempts to broach the subject to
her husband. Yet she is Intensely
anxious to know what her heartmate
thinks concerning second marriages.
The average husband is usually
truthfully blunt enough about the
matter. The wife introduces the sub- j
Ject nt the dinner table when they are '
alone, skirmishing around like a care- j
ful genernl until she reaches the at- ;
tacking point. "Guess whom I met to- j
day when I was out walking,” she re
marks as she pours his tea. As she
has 400 dear bosom friends, he makes
no attempt to stretch his Ingenuity ot
guessing. "It was Widower Smith
across the way, and—and—there was
a young woman with him,” she adds
slowly.
"Well, what oi mar? nsss nunny,
feeling that he Is expected to make
some kind of comment. “Do you for
get that his wife is scarcely cold in
her grave?” she queries severely.
“Why, it's three years if it's a day!"
ejaculates the husband. “Do you sup- I
pose he is thinking of marrying
again?” questions the wife, in that
slow, even, suppressed voice which al- ;
ways preceded a storm. “Why not?”'
Sensitive.
“Why don’t you become n philan
thropist?”
“I’m afraid to,” replied Mr. Dustin
Stax. “You never know when an elfort
to do something big for yo«r fellow
men is going to be misconstrued as an
ostentation of wealth.”
asks hubby. “He was a good husband
to the wife that was taken away. A
man cannot live with the dead, you
know, and ns for that matter she’s as
dead now as she will ever be. A man
must dowu his sorrow or it will down
him ”
“The report Is that lie is to marry,
lie has just bought a tine new house
furnishing It from top to bottom, unci
an automobile. He did not do thut
for (he first one. She went to house
keeping In a tiny flat, did her own
work, pinched and saved, went with
out clothes, having barely enough cov
ering her to keep people from talking.
It was by her thrift that money enough
was saved to stnrt him in business,
and now another woman is to enjoy
what she toiled for,” exclaims the w ife.
“Is that right?’’
Hubby was too obtuse to see that
he was making trouble for himself
when he retorted quickly. “The first
wife wanted to work and pinch and
save, that was her pleasure, lie was
poor then; he’s rich now and can af
ford to give this one comforts, even
luxuries. This woman will find no oc
casion for toiling, seeing that he can
keep her without. The first one loved
hi in through poverty. Probably this
one would not have married him at
that stage of the game. There's a dif
ference in women, you know.”
That conversation opened the wife’s
eyes to the fact that she should crow d
as much happiness and sunshine as
possible into each day of her life, and,
while doing her duty to save for her
husband, she should not forget that
a little recreation from toil now and
then was time and money well spent,
she being the gainer thereby in health
and cheerfulness, and that although
many husbands refuse to admit it. the
average man appreciates the wife for
whose outing pleasures he must plan
and contribute. She must not be his
tolling slave. She must he his com
panion in his Joys and an agreeable
one at that. A husband should see to
it that the wife who toils hard in his
interest should have all tin* comforts
and pleasures which he can reasonably
afford showered upon her while she Is
able to enjoy them.
And So It Happened.
TIelney—I was surprised to hear that
young 1’rice had married that rich
widow.
Oinnr—Yes, hut still it was an ideal
marriage for both. lie was without
money, and she was without I'rice.
