Cotton used in the open front houses should be kept brushed off, and should be opened up on fine days to faciliate ventilation, this will also prevent the accumulation of mois- ture, which is more injurious to the health of the birds than cold. Plenty of clean litter should be provided for scratching purposes. Lice, which are usually present in certain numbers, should be kept in control. This may be done by dusting the birds with insect powder or by smearing the skin around the vent with blue oint- ment about the size of a pea. Care should be taken not to smear the feathers with this ointment. A grain mixture should be fed in the litter morning and evening. Feed at the rate of about one quart per day to ten birds.

Why abbreviate the syllable that carries its sacred meaning? Why make it “X’’? Surely the ink or space or trouble saved does not warrant marring a word that holds such high place in heart and memory. it, but to go round it and come through the other way. There are few prettier sights for dog-iovers than a young dog's hesi- vation, his glance back at his master to inquire whether he really means the order, then his implicit obedience to a command in which he cannot see any sense. At that moment and also when a dog in full career stops short and lies suddenly down at the sound of the whistle, the spectator realizes sharply the force of that magnetic link between dog and mas- Notables whose birthdays we celebrate have not been cut down by abbreviation. And certainly Christ’s birthday should be as generously dealt with. It’s ‘‘Christmas” in speech. Let it be so in writing.

One of the first principles of life and business is laying up food, or other reserves, for winter or other emergencies.
