POULTRY FENCE IS PORTABLE
Problem of Keeping Fowls on Same
Soil for Years and Maintaining
Sweetnests Is Solved.
I built a fence last summer that has
proved very successful. It has long
been a problem how to lteep our fowls
year after year on the same soil and
yet have it fresh and sweet. We
planted different crops in our yards
after we were through with the breed
ing season. This we found very bene
ficial, but as the yards had to be dug
up by hand it required much labor if
there were many of them. 1 found
the solution by using portable fences,
writes A. E. Van Natta of Indiana in
the Farm and Home.
The fences were built of 2x3-inch
hemlock joists and 12-inch hemlock
boards, 5-foot wire and iron shelf
braces. All the lumber was 1G feet
long. I cut the joists into two 6 and
one 4 foot lengths and nailed a 4-foot
piece on the bottom of a 6-foot length
with two 20-penny nails, making a T
shape.
In one angle the T was placed
a 10x12-inch japanned shelf bracket
fastened by six 114-inch screws. A
12-inch 16-foot board wa3 then put in
by cutting a notch in the ends and
center one inen deep and three inches
Portable Poultry Fence.
long. Stand up three of the T's eight
feet apart and place the cut board on
them, letting the 4-foot pieces rest in
the inch notches in the board; square
the uprights with the edge of the
board and nail. ^Ye now have one 16-
fbot section complete, except the wire.
The 12-inch board at the bottom is
sufficient to prevent the cocks from
lighting. This fence is very sightly,
and two men can easily shift it wher
ever desired. If you wish to stack it
out of the way the screws can be re
moved from the brackets and the
4-foot bases knocked off and replaced,
when setting the fence, without much
trouble.
SKIM MILK GOOD FOR-HENS
Casein Largely Supplies Protein Nec
essary for Eggs—Also Excellent
for Use in Fattening.
Skim milk is one of the very best
feeds for both young chickens and lay
ing hens. The casein, or curdy part
of the milk, largely supplies the pro
tein necessary for laying hens, while
for fattening fowls there is nothing
superior to milk for making white,
juicy, delicate flesh. The milk may be
fed either sweet or sour and may be
given as a drink or mixed with wheat
bran and oatmeal or both.
Sour skim milk, or buttermilk, fed
to hens confined in yard Or small rangs
keeps them in health. The acid of
the milk supplies the lack of vegetable
acid they would pick up in on grass
pasture—the buttermilk aids digestion.
Poultrymen near the wholesale city
milkmen and creameries can often buy
the sour milk for ten cents per gal
lon. At this price it is a cheap food.
During inclement weather fowls are
better indoors than out.
* * »
If the hens are not luyiug the
chances are that the fault is with their
keeper.
* * *
In an egg of 1,000 grains, 600 be
longs to the white, 300 to the yolk and
100 to the shell.
* * *
Let the children have a pen of ban
tams. Look up the different breeds at
the fairB, and buy a pair that attracts
you.
* * *
The pullet or hen which begins to
lay in November will usually lay all
winter if properly fed, housed and
cared for.
* * *
Don't allow your chickens to have
scaly legs. Clean and apply a good
disinfectant, then rub in plenty of
good grease.
* * *
That good layers are great eaters.
A bird must have capacity to eat and
digest a great amount of food if she is
to lay a great number of eggs.
* * *
Cut out all small chickens and keep
the largest and most vigorous ones
for winter layers. The long hot sum
mer has retarded the growth of the
late ones.
USES FOR THE MARSHMALLOW
Delicious Sweet Sandwich May Be
Made From Confection—Good in
Either Salad or Dessert,
A new and delicious sweet sandwich
is made as follows: Melt some marsh
mallows In a granite dish in hot wa
ter, add two tablespoonfuls of syrup
from preserved ginger, one lahlcspoon-
ful of finely chopped ginger and the
same of finely ground walnuts or al
monds. Mix well together and spread

For a dainty salad use dieed marsh
mallows, walnut meats, seeded white
grapes and a few cherries to give a
touch of color. Serve In a nest of green
and just before serving cover with
sweetened lemon juhn and, if desired,
a dash of sherry.
For a dessert make a plain lemon
jelly. Just as It begins to set, beat
in a cup of diced marshmallows. Serve
with whipped cream.
A delicious dessert is made by
scooping out the inBide of stale cup
cakes. Fill the cakes with marshmal
lows cut very fine, just a dash of lemon
and a spoonful of any good jam. Put
in a hot oven just, before serving, heat
quickly and serve with any pudding
sauce or cream.
Something fine is made from an
angel cake baked in layers and put to
gether with chopped nuts and marsh
mallows.
Squares of hot gingerbread, put to
gether with diced marshmallows and
any tart jelly, makes a dessert that Is
sure to meet with approval.
A BILIOUS LIVER

Invention Particularly Useful During

A Pennsylvania man has patented

fruit or vegetables It holdB. In the
case of fruit, for instance, it presses
out the substance and leaves the skins
behind, and for vegetables it comes in
handy to mash potatoes and perform
such duties. A tray or a howl beneath
the press catches the substance that
comes through the sieve.
Don't Hurry Vinegar
In a cool cellar cider that has had
“mother.” or cider vinegar, added to It
reaches a marketable condition a
whole year sooner than when "moth
er” has not been added. But vinegar
should never be added to cider that
has not completed alcoholic fermen
tation, because the power of the acid
doesn’t help the work at all. .Some
farmers make a practice of adding
fresh apple juice to other vinegar
stock wishing to “make vinegar quick
ly.” It won’t make. The sugar of the
juice has first to undergo alcoholic
ferment before the acetic fermentation
can begin. Otherwise the apple juice
only checks and prevents the working.

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES
Ruffin, N. C.—“My face became full
of pimples and blackheads, and
would itch, burn and smart. The Bkin
was rough and red. I was really
ashamed of my face. My arms and
back were affected almost as badly.
The pimples would fester and there
would come a dry scab on top. The
trouble caused my face to be disfig
ured badly and the itching would both
er me so I could not sleep well nights,
especially during warm weather.
“The trouble lasted me three long
yearB without anything doing me any
good until a friend told me about Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and then I
decided to try them. After the first
application I cotfld see some improve
ment. After using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment two weeks I did not look
like the same person; most of the
pimples had disappeared. At the end
of four weeks I was completely
cured.” (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitch

First Chinese School Book.
There are also fragments of the Chi
Chiu-Chang vocabulary composed by a
eunlch of the palace in about the year
40, A. D. All the authentic texts of
this ancient school book, widely used
in the year 2 to teach Chinese chil
dren to read and write, had long since
disappeared. The paper manuscripts
are the oldest examples of such litera
ture in existence. M. Chavannes has
succeeded in reconstructing from these
heterogeneous and more or less frag
mentary and disconnected materials a
fairly probable picture of the daily
life of the Chinese garrisons that held
these frontier posts agrinst the Huns
find kept open the trade routes to
Farghana and Yarkand. The human as
well as scientific interest of such a pic
ture is manifest.
At Church In Holland.
In many parts of Holland men still
wear their hats in church. Moreover,
smoking in church is not considered
irreverent by the Dutch when service
is not in progress, and, it is said, even
the ministers sometimes indulge in
this practice.
Altogether, Dutch Protestantism is,
it would seem, from a certain stand
point, a comfortable form of religion.
One may keep his hat on in church,
which saves him many a chill; he may
talk freely and in his natural voice,
not in a whisper; he has a neat house
maid in a white cap and apron to
show him to his pew or to offer him a
chair: and he has nice drab pews of
painted deal all around him and a
cheerful “two-decker” pulpit above.
“And Again, My Brethren!”
A oertalu small girl, wearily listen
ing to a long sermon by a minister
who had the odd habit of drawing in
his breath with an odd whistle, whis
pered to her mother that she wanted
to go home. The mother, expecting
the discourse to end, momentarily, re
fused permission. The third time this
happened the mother said, “I think he
will stop now in a minute." To this
the child answered In a clear, high
voice, “No, mother, he isn’t going to
stop. I thought so now for three
times, but he has gone and blowed
himself up again."
Didn't Suit Small Boy.
After spending a few weeks last
year at a watering place, where he
took his dally swim in the open air
pool of warm sulphur water, a little
fellow was this year at the seaside.
In his tiny bathing suit he gazed out
over the vast ocean in silence.
Then he protested:
"I’m not finin' in. Dal ain't water

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings hack the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at tiny store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections
of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for
health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. No woman who is suffering from.,the ills peculiar
to her sex should lest until she has given this famous remedy
a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for
these women it will do for any sick woman ?
Wonderful Case of Mrs. Stephenson,

Independence, Oregon.—“I was sick with what four doctors
called Nervous Prostration, was treated by them for several years,
would be better for a while then back in the old way again. 1 had
palpitation of the heart very bad, fainting spells, and was so nervous
that a spoon dropping to the floor would nearly kill me, could not
lift the lightest weight without making me sick; in fact was about as
sick and miserable as a person could be. I saw your medicines ad
vertised and thought I would t ry them, and am so thankful I did for
they helped me at once. I took about a dozen bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound-and also used the Sanative Wash.
Since then I have used them whenever I felt sick. Your remedies
are the only doctor I employ. You are at liberty to publish this let

Hoixjdon, Me.—“I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to

year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides
and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My
hack ached. I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep,
then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around.
It seemed almost impossible to inovo or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would lie any better until I submitted to an ope ra
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good
appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam
ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your
medicine.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers, llodgdon, Maine.

Errors of His Ways.
"A good New Year resolution for a
middle-aged married man?” said
George Ade at a dinner in Chicago.
“Well, the best resolution a middle-
aged married man could make, accord
ing (o my view, would be for him to
swear oft telling Ills wife and children
about the girls he used to kiss in his
young days.
“I’d say to the middle-aged married
man of this type:
“ 'Suppose, friend, your wife fell Into
a reminiscent, jovial mood some eve
ning after supper and started to tell
about the boys who used to kiss her
