THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE, CLAYTON, GEORGIA. 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 on thin butfored bread. 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 SNOW REALLY A BLESSING BOTH FRUIT PRESS AND SIEVE Invention Particularly Useful During the Time of Putting Up Deli cacies for Winter. A Pennsylvania man has patented a press and sieve to be used in the preparation of fruit and vegetables for the table and for the making of jel lies. A metal frame holds a. semi-cir cular sieve, which Is removable. A Handy in Preserving Time. handle with n roller attachment iB locked into place by two thumb screws on the frame, but. Is left, free to move up and down and back and forth in the bowllike cavitay of the sieve and press through the latter the 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. —L. L S.

When geraniums and other plants grow too tall, nip off the terminal bud and Induce them to branch and thick en up. With care the skilled grower may have any shaped plant she wishes. If a special display from the outside is deBlred, it is perhaps preferable to allow the pots to stand always with the same side to the light. But a more shapely plant Is secured by frequently shifting and turning. For sick headache, bad breath, Sour Stomach and constipation. Get a 10-ccnt box now.

South River, N. .1., had the distinction of being shot at and arrested by Chief of Police Oppenber- ger of that place recently, according to a New Brunswick newspaper. The dummies, when not in use, were placed in the store room of the Washington hotel.

Receiving no answer he blazed away at them several times be fore he discovered the joke. 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 ell, Jan. 9, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book.

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 for boys; dat’s for boats.” 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.

"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 by tho wood stove in the dim parlor, wouldn’t the dove of peace flap her wings and light out p. d. q. just?’” Terrible Dilemma.
