HIAWATHA, KING and ROCK SPRINGS COAL CHAIN WOOD, CORD WOOD, FEED, TRANSFER, STORAGE J POULTRY and EGGS KEEP FOWLS HEALTHY. Poultry Needs Plenty of Air and Sun thin. In Winter Quartan. After taking the first step by trying to keep only such birds as are strong and healthy to begin with the follow Ink steps In disease prevention will follow: The environment Is a mntter of serious importance as affecting the health of the fowls ami tlielr freedom from trouble. A damp, cold house Is i The mure room nllowed each hen the purer the air will bo. It Is nee e rotary that some uhcHer he furnish ed In the winter months, us no house men lis no cbk. Hut too of ten the Idea seemH to be to make two hens exist where but one can thrive. Give each fowl at least eight inches roosting space and have the roosts fourteen inches apart for best remilts. The hen house shown is well provided with windows for light and ventilation. an unsafe place to keep even- the healthiest birds a;id an impossible place to keep disease from, says Every body's Poultry Magazine. Dampness in the poultry house this winter, as experienced in the litter and the very air itself, will tend to cause catarrh, which is a nasal cold that very often assumes a chronic condition and hangs on for weeks, drawing upon tho vitality and strength of the birds aud finally stopping egg production al together as well as putting the bird Into a condition in which It will easily I develop roup, chicken pox and kindred troubles. Dampness Is a factor that quickly depletes the strength and vi tality of fowls, and It should be pro vented by giving attention to the floor ing of the house at once, if there Is a tendency for soil moisture to creep in through the floor, correct this. A cement floor, well littered. Is best, while a wooden floor raised off the ground is usually dry. A dirt floor must be more carefully watched for this point. Keep the air in the house dry by seeing that tho ventilation in the house is good. Ventilation carries off moisture laden air, which may ac cumulate at night when mnuy fowls give off moisture laden air from tlielr bodies. This matter of ventilation Is badly in need of attention on many plants. See to it that your house is cor rectly ventilnted before tho winter sets in. If there is not now plenty of open front In the house rebuild the front of the lnying house. There should bo lots of sunshine and fresh air in the winter laying house If that house is to be a healthful environment for the fowls. Of greatest lmporlnnce Is the quality of the feed used. No musty, moldy grain should ever find Its way Into the poultrymun's feed bins, even though the price is low. It will throw tho di gestive system out of order, and this is tho key system of -the bird's body, for upon its proper functioning depends the activity of the egg producing or gan. Avoid any meat food that is semldecnyed or moldy, for It will poi son the birds and lower their ability to digest other food. Every feed that is used in the winter pens for any kind of birds should be clean and free from mold or decay. The bird Is a particular feeder and must he treated as such. If wet mash is used great care should be taken to keep the troughs cleaned and free from an accumulation of soured mash. The water troughs are the source of tho spread of very common contagious discuses which show external symp toms about the head, such as roup aud canker. Every water pau should be scalded at least once a week and should be cleaned every morning. Unclean water invlles disease. Potassium of permanganate used in the drinking wa ter once a week Is a good preventive measure against roup and such dis eases. Use only enough to make the water a bright cherry color. Make fresh solution every day. K'cep the mash hoppers cleaned and free from clogging, which is usually due to ac cumulation of moldy feed. Prevent di gestive diseases, and you will put your birds Into such shape that they will be little troubled with other diseases. Whitewash For Henhouse. A good whitewash for tho poultry house to be put on with a spray pump Is made as follows: Slake quicklime with Just BUlllcient water to muko a thick paste. Add a pint of melted lard or other grease and a cupful of table salt to each half bushel of lime while slaking. This paste can bo stored In tubs or barrels until wanted and will keep well as long as It Is kept moist and covered. When ready to use add enough water to make tho poste of the consistency of thin cream. Strain through burlap or a fine sieve before putting in sprayer. i 111 p; i .lO Home Cookery Calvaa' Tonguai Roaatad. Have tlio tongues fresh and boll them until they are Just teudcr enough to al low the skin to be removed easily, says the Country Gentleman. Do this; then lard each tongue with lardons of salt pork, put Into a roasting pan aud roast until tbey are tender, basting them with a little stock aud melted butter In which there Is a sliced onion. Fifteen minutes before they are to be taken out sprinkle with fine bread crumbs moistened with melted butter. Have the oven very hot aud brown them well. Take thorn out of the roast ing pan, and Into the pan put a little white stock, let cook and thicken it with flour. Add one tablespoonful of vinegar and serve separately. Serve red currant Jelly with the tongues. Stuffed Steak. Put one pound of rouud steak through a meat chopper and season with salt, pepper and chopped onion. Add one well beaten egg and one-bnlt cupful of ground, fresh, fat pork. Make a bread dressing as for poultry, but without sage. Grease a baking dish, put in a layer of tlie ground meat, then a layer of dressing aud repeat until all Is used. Over the top put a layer of thinly sliced onions and a cup ful of stewed tomatoes. Cook, cover ed, until the meat is done, remove and make a brown gruvy in bottom of dish. Serve with mashed potatoes. Scalloped Sweet Potatoea. Pare aud slice thin as many; sweet potatoes as are needed. Place a layer of the potatoes In a buttered baking dish; sprinkle with salt, pepper and bits of butter. Repeat this until the dish is almost filled; then cover with rich milk and bake about an hour in a hot oven. i Turkey- Qusnolle.

Hens Will Lay In Winter If Properly Handle Why don't hens lay at this tiinu of the year? They do if their owner is on to ids Job. . 1 It Is about as uatural for a hen to lay in the fall and winter as It is for roses to bloom at the same season. , But the expert poultryman nowadays with his modern methods of breeding, of feeding, of housing and of handling has his hens to lny 200 or more eggs per year and to lay a goodly number of these in the winter, says the Kan-' sas l'nrmer. Can an ordinary farmer or smull poultry keeper get n good winter yield of eggs? He can If he will have a properly built house, not meaning an expensive one, but a house that poultry use and live In aud can't be kept out of. He can if he will feed the modern way or feed all grain in litter; feed beef scraps, fish scraps or milk ani mal protein heavily; feed dry mashes and perhaps wet mashes. Feed plenty of grit and oyster shells, Tho digestive apparatus of n chicken demands grits. The feeding is the big element In governing the egg yield. .

Mother's Doll Story New Year's Eve Once upon a time a nice family of dolls thought it would be great fuu to have a New Year's party. So after their mamma, the little girl who owned them, had gone to sleep the dolls all got out of bed and raced down to the kitchen. The biggest doll, whoso name was Molly, grabbed a kettle and started to make some molasses candy. The big boy doll, Ted, said: "Let me stir It. I know how." So Molly gave him a big spoon, and Ted stood on a high chair, aud every time the molasses bubbled up he stir red It like anything so It would not burn down on tho bottom of the kettle. "I want to help, too!" shouted Tiny, the smallest doll. So Molly gave her a little piece of butter to rub on the plate, because mo lasses candy is such sticky stuff that If you don't butter It you waste a whole lot. Wheu Tiny had a big white plate all shiny with butter sho wanted to help some more. "Let me stir It!" she cried. "All right," said Ted. "My arm aches stirring, so you take a turn at It But let Molly watch you bo you wou't tumble In, Just like a baby." But, ahm. Molly was too busy pour ing the flavor In the ketde, and when she wasn't looking poor little Tiny slipped and fell right Into tho hot mo lasses. She caught on tho spoou nud burned only her arm. So the party was all stopped, while Ted ran to get the doctor to bandage Tlny's arm. "Happy New Year's!" shouted Tiny, waving her bandaged arm, while all the other dolls dug off spoonfuls of sticky candy from the sides of the pot. Just as if It had beeu a real party.
