You can tell a laying hen as far as you can see her. 'Her comb is al ways bright and healthy looking. February hatched chicks aro apt to molt In the fall, and will not bo worth anything for egg production In winter. Turkeys more than any other poul try seem to rcquiro fresh air. They will roost in trees during a snow storm and not seem to ml ml it a bit. Forcing laying hens with stimu lants of any kind, except those na ture supplies In good food, Is a dan serous and costly process in the long run. Soak stalo bread in sweet sklm mllk, press out the milk as complete ly as possible, and feed tho chicks. Also keepcoarso sand before them; without it tho chicks can not grind their food. Put some oats in a box that will not leak; wet them thoroughly with warm water, cover them well, let them stand one whole day, then turn them Into a box that does leak. Keep putting warm water on them morning and night till sprouts aro well started. Spread them out thin ly, moisten more, and keep this up till tho sprouts aro of tho required length. Some folks let them grow a foot long. No finer feast for tho birds than oat sprouts. Hens will soon bo bringing good prices, and the high prico will tempt many farmers to sell their hens off too closely. It will pay tho average farmer to keep a goodly number of hens the year around. When hatch ing time comes, if incubators and brooders aro not used, it takes sev eral hens to do tho work of hatch ing and rearing tho chicks, and wo like to have enough others to keep the egg-basket filled. Eggs to soli every week means a small bill at tho grocery. Can't have tho eggs un less wo hold on to enough hens. From February Farm Journal. Floral Xotes.

Dallas Newa For the Children The Wonderful Flight of the Goldsn Plover. 1 , Everybody knows that most of our birds come north to their nesting grounds In the spring nnd go south In the fall. Somo of tho longest Jour neys nro mado by the smallest birds. A few species leave tho far north In August and September, making enor mous flights over tho ocean to winter homes in the southern hemisphere. Thus the golden plover leaves Nova Scotia and Hies without a stop straight to South America, wintering on the pampas of Argentina, a Journey of some 5,000 miles, 2,500 being over the ocean, without a stop even for food. On the Pacific side the golden plover leaves the Aleutian islands and goes 2,500 miles to Hawaii without a rest and winters In tho southern hemi sphere from tho Society Islands to Australia. With this bird tho north ward trip is slow, and tho eastern group crosses the continent of South America, Mexico, tho great plains and ncross Canada to Its arctic nesting grounds, whllo the western birds go up the Malay peninsula and along tho Chinese and Siberian seaboard. Thus these birds make the enormous jour ney of 12,000 to 15,000 miles each year. St. Nicholas. Japanese Houses. Japanese houses aro built rather to resist earthquake than to withstand fire. Thej are exceedingly light bam boo or frame affairs. Instead of strong foundations firmly imbedded into tho earth there are flat stones, on which the frame lightly rests at the comers. Such structures will survive earth quake shocks that would crumble to heaps houses more solidly built. Within tho house is simplicity itself. The cottage may contain one or a doz en rooms, at tho owner's whim, at any moment when he chooses to let tho curtains down. If he wishes to retire ho can make his bedroom by drawing down around him, at any spot on tho floor that suits his fancy, curtains made of paper. This material is trans lucent enough to admit light Into the impromptu room without destroying its privacy. For a bed all the Japa nese needs is a heavy quilt or two. With tho houso everything is immac ulately clean. A Japaneso will not tolcrato a dust collecting carpet tacked upon his floor. He prefers grass woven mats, which he can take up and clean every day. Cushions on tho floor do duty as chairs, and about the only ar ticle of wood furniture in the house Is tho tiny table where the family drink their tea. Philadelphia Ledger. Game of Noted Men. Tho hostess begins by saying: "I know a celebrated poet. The first part of his name is black, and the last Is au elevation." The player responding "Coleridge" In turn describes the name of some other noted person for instance, Shakespeare saying: "I know a noted author and poet. Tho first part of his name people do when they are cold, and tho last part is a weapon of war fare." Give only tho profession, noth ing else. The following names readily lend themselves to this simple but In structive llttlo game: Words-worth, Shell-ey (Shell-Ion). Church-Ill, Wal-pole. Web ster, Wash- lug-ton, Long-fellow, Black-stone, Izuak Wal-ton (Eye-sack-wall-tou). About Children. Ono of tho happiest holidays in tho whole year In Switzerland Is when the farmers bring their flocks down from the raountnlns where they have been nil summer. School is closed, and the children go to meet them in proces sions, singing songs, ringing bells nnd waving Hags. As a reward for their enthusiasm the farmers treat them to a dainty supper of sweets and cakes, which they aro allowed only on holi days. The children of Russia play marbles with the knuckle bones of sheep. Tho King and tho Cat. An ancient courier owned a cat, Handsome and sleek and tame. Tho king, his master, gazed thereat And coveted the same. "Sir Beldon." 'twas the king who spoke "Thy cat delights my eyes. Glvo her to mo and thou shalt have Whatever thou dost prize." Sir Beldon then was soro of heart, ' Vet ho could not refuse. He gave his cat unto the king. "Now," said tho monarch, "choose." The knights they wondered what 'twould bo. Tho ladles wondered too. Were theirs this chance they'd ask for lands And castles not a few. Blr Beldon knelt.
