Modern Wire Fencing, Which Hae
Neat Appearance, Will Keep All
Fowls Out of the Gardens.
The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or
in and about the farm buildings.
Nothing is more aggravating or dis
gusting than to have the nice veget
ables or beautiful flowers scratched
up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the
barn floor and the farm machines
fouled with poultry droppings. Sep
arate the poultry also from the other
live stock of the farm.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
Inclosed by modern poultry wire fenc
ing. The latter requires ordinarily
but a few posts, is easily put up and
has a very neat appearance when In
position.
Another way of separating the
fowls from the center of farm opera
tions Is to place the henhouses at a
considerable distance from the farm
stead, in a pasture where the fowls
will have absolute range. The latter
plan may entail some extra travel by
the poultryman and there is the risk
in some localities of depredations by
foxes, hawks or other wild animals
or by thieves. The young, strong
farmer boy may find advantage in
the second or so-called "colony plan,"
while the housewife will probably
prefer the fenced inclosure near the
farmhouse.
Thirdly, the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by a little extra effort he
could gain a select private trade
which would pay far better. His
pure-bred stock of one breed of fowls
In their well-kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver
tisement for his egg products, uud
uniform clean appearance of the eggs
in their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, In disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells thty birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.
PLAN FOR SCRATCHING SHED
Bare Necessity.
A lecturer was discoursing on the
prodigal son. To show his audience
to what depths the wayward youth
had sunk, hy way of a modern Illus
tration he said:
“A lady left home with good Inten
tions, but evidently got into bad com
pany. He eventually had to pawn
his overcoat In order to raise money
to keep himself. However, his coat
and waistcoat had to go the same
way. Again he needed money, and
had to pawn his trousers and likewise
his shirt and vest. Then he came to
himself.”

piece of chicken ground was 10x18,
and the 10-foot sides faced north and
south. If his coop proper was ten
feet wide by eight feet deep he would
have a 10x10 scratching pen. These

Spread of Contagion.
Drinking water in poultry houses
Is one cause of the rapid spread of
contagious diseases, Buch as roup. An
affected hen when she places her beak
In the water to get a drink, contami
nates all the water. Then, when
healthy hens drink from this water
supply they become exposed to what
ever disease the sick hen has. Thus,
when one fowl contracts a contagi
ous disease it generally is but a com
paratively short time until there is a
general outbreak of the affection, un
less precautions are taken.
Dry Houses and Bedding.
Although .ducks and geqse can stay
in the water without danger, they al
ways get sick If obliged to sleep on
damp ground or damp bedding
Therefore, the duck bouse and the
goose house should be dry and well
bedded.

SET MRS. ALLEN THINKING
HERE I S' SECRET OF FROSTING
Alec’s Occupation in the Kitchen Evi
dently Meant Serious Results
to Her Pantry.
Annie the pretty maid employed at
Mrs. Allen’s, confided to her mistress
when taking the place that she had
lately become engaged to be married,
but that she and Alec would have to
wait a year or two, and in the mean
time she wished to be earning money.
One evening, soon after Annie’s ar
rival, Alec came to call, and the fam-'
ily agreed that they had never known
so quiet a man. They heard the sound
of Annie's voice now and then from
the kitchen, but Alec’s words were far
and few between.
"Alec la not much of a talker, Is he,
Annie?” said Mrs. Allen the following
morning. “We should have scarcely
known there was anybody with you last
evening.”
“He’ll talk more when we’ve been
engaged a while longer. I’m thinkin’,
mum,” replied Annie. “He’s too bash
ful yet to do anything but eat, mum,
when lie's wld me!”
Nothing Hard About It, and Moat De-

She who hankers to know how It is
made, that light, soft, thick frosting
that is swirled on cakes so tempting

“Make ordinary boiled frosting,"
says the woman who has discovered
the secret, "and after you have beaten
It Btlff enough to hold Its own firmly
on a cake empty it into a double boil
er.
"Place the double boiler over a good
fire that will keep the water In the
lower pan at a brisk boil. Do not stir
the frosting at all, but watch It until
it begins to fudge around the side of
the pan.
"Then take It from the stove and
beat it in the pan until it Is cool
enough and thick enough to swirl on
your cake, holding its own In what,
ever Irregularities you wish to perpe
trate.
“If you let It get too cool It will
harden In the pan perhaps before you
have finished frosting your cake. This
Is specially likely If you have many
little cakes, which take time to cover
one by one. If it does harden a little
hot water beaten in will remedy the
difficulty.
"It Is the double boiling that gives
the frosting the enviable fudgy.
marshmallowy consistency.
"Do not use a knife to put on frost
ing when you want the frosting to
have a swirly, irregular look. Use a
fork handle.”
