DON'TS. Dou't condemn a breed of fowls be cause you cn'n't succeed with them If others can. must be the man. Don't growl about waste in the kitch en when ruts are robbing the corncrib and uiico plunder the granary. Dou't treat your wife like a servant, und be sure to treat a servant as you would have an employer treat you. Dou't have two prices .for the same article. Sot a lair price that gives a reasonable profit, and stick, to it. Don't expect men to Judge you by your birth, by your wealth, but by your worth. Dou't forget our motto Advertising, like charity, begins at home. First use the home paper, the proper caper. THE HERO IN BLUE. I alng iKif of Hit- f4,iiiifr Who anVfri thin hinrl for you.

BAl'.NITZ. 8T0CK OR EGGS, WHICHf Here is a question from a ts-ginner lhat may Interest others. "How should ( start with stock or cggsT At ou'e there comes to memory a sad event in our early experience when we paid $30 for eggs and bat 10 per cent were fertile, mid this remembrance and oth er considerations prompt ns to say. Start with stock or chicks. Not that all poultry men are sharks, though. The profession has its swin dlers, like the others. I'.ut one Is more apt to be deceived on eggs. Then the baggage smasher Is on the job. And no one knows the pedigree of the eggs on less he knows the breeders, and eggs also have their vicissitudes in the Incubator. We prefer adult stock to chicks. Chicks may come true to name and be all that lx desired: then tbey may be otherwise, and tbelr development and future only can prove whether tbey come from Inbred, immature stock or not. . We prefer stock because you know what you're got. You are apt occa sionally to be deceived In buying stock, but not so frequently as with the oth ers, and then there's no waiting for it to Imtrh nor develop, and there's no time wasted, as when batching and development are a failure. The stock is in sight, in your hands. You know what you are breeding from. You are sure of good eggs If you manage right. Yon know the pedi gree of your chicks. Your pareut stK-k is mi :.sst for the uext season, and if line breeding Is the object you amy mate progeny bi.-k to parents. Foundation stock is all important, and buyers should not haggle ovet a gHid prii-e for good birds. Iluyiiig by mail is cash, and birds are not sold on credit simply because the seller does not know any more about the buyer than the buyer knows about him. but tbe privilege to return purchases If express Is prepaid and your money back is tbe rule. It pays to spend a few dollars looking around before buying. This gives one the chance to see other plants and to per sonally pick the stock, and that isn't so much like buying a pig In a poke. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Rhodesia. South Africa, has regular lioultry insectors. who meet all trains coming into that territory and reject any iioultry unDt for food. Think of the "Dark Continent'' being ahead of Uncle Sam in poultry inspection'. Whew! Many beginners select a line in poul try where Is hottest competition both for market and show, and the fellow of wider experience has the advan tage of them. Take capons. They are made of roosters, easy to raise, sell the highest, and yet so many pass this by when the demand for capons is unlim ited. Tbe hen is not a magician, as some would have us believe. She caunot make many eggs and sustain bodily vigor on mere bran. Neither is she u natural garbage disposal plant. She cannot change obnoxious offal Into sweet pure flesh and delightful sweet sanitary eggs, and no bughouse argu ment can make us believe such rot. Keep tbe water vessels full of clean, fresh water tbe year round. It is not only necessary to the health and comfort of the fowl, but remember hat over Go per cent of the edible part of an i"jg is water. A hen gets some water from green food, but uot sulM cicnt for her eggs and bodily needs To save fish spawn that might be lost the Chinese are said to okmi bens eggs, empty them, place the spawn therein, close the aperture, set them under hens, and then when about to hatch they break the eggs and place the spawn in warm water, where the little tlsli come out and are later placed in large ponds. A clti.eu of White Salmon. Wash., angry on account of the depredations of neighbors' hens, sent the following letter to the judges of the United States supreme court: "Honored Sirs Will you please send me a copy of the decision that poultry is considered a wild bird when la your neighbor's ynrd and can be taken np as such?" As no such decision has been bauded dowy our friend will now probably make his tory by wielding the ax and pleading the unwritten law. ' Here's one from the London Opin ion for those who desire a sure way to tell the age of poultry: "Casey," said Pat. "how do ye tell th' age of a tu-u-rkey?' 'Oi can always tell by th teeth." said Casey. "Ry the teeth!" exclaimed Pnt. "But a tu-u-rkey has no teeth." "No," admitted Casey, "butOI have." RUSH GEIKISTMAS NAOUSINESS Packages Thl Year May Bear Simple Holiday Greetings! For tbe first lime in history tbe postal authorities have given out the order that it it permissible for sender! of Christmas packages to place simple greetings on them. "Flease do not open until Christmas," and contain such inscription on the wrappings ai "Merrf Christmas." "HaDDV New Vear," or With Best Wiehes," Orders save gone out from the Post al Department at Washington for extraordinary precautions to be made by all postmasters to bandle the holi day mail with as mocn dispatch aa possible. Poatraiaster Ahlstrom exoects a heavy business through the local office during the holiday period and he states the post! clerks and mail handlers can be greatly helped by the public in expediting the work if the people will remember that thousands of packages will go though the mails between now and Christmas, and the facilities of the postofTicei will be taxed to the limit, and will mail their packages early. Wrappers about all parcels should be of sufficient strength to re sist the pressnre of other mail which, must necessarily be piled on them. Hats in nsstebosrd bo-xea should htt crated with wocd unless oacked in double corrugated psstetoard boxes, and must not exceed 72 inchea in length and girth combined. Cut flowers should be placed in boxes of wood, tin or heavy pasteboard. Canutes in tin or corrugated paste board. Sharp instruments or other pointed articles with eharp corners should have the points well protected to avoid damage and injury to the postal ckrks who handle them. Articles of glass and other breakable matter should be packed in boxes. Parcels sealed or otherwise closed sgsinst inspection will be subject to the first class rate of postsge. Par cels should lo be mailed in time to reach their destination at least two days prior to Christmas. Dr. Steiner Arrested Yesterday was designated as tbe time for bearing arguments on a writ of habeas corpus, applied for by Dr. Steiner, Superintendent of tne Insane Asylum at Salem in the Supreme Court. Dr. Steiner was arrested upon a war rant aworn out by Labor Commissioner Hoff, charging him with violating the eight-hour law in- employing manual labor at the asylum, and the writ waa applied for in order to determine at an early date tnrough a Supreme Court decision- whether the law is applicable to labor employed by the state.
