Nests should be situated in a
more or les* dark place, for then
the hens will be less apt to eat the
eggs. A good place is directly be-
neath the roost platform, with the
nests so arranged that the hen
enters from the side toward the
wall. Each nest should be from 12
to 14 inches square, and high en-
ough (about 12 or 14 inches) to be
convenient for the hen to enter.
The partitions between the nests
should be high enough to permit
hens to go from one nest to an-
ther otherwise they will fight and

Stopping Infection's Spread.
Since treatment of the azcctcd
birds is almost futile, tin aim
should be to prevent so far as pos-
sible the spread of infection. The
first fowls showing acute feverish
symptoms should be destroyed by
a method guarding against con-
tamination of the premises by in-
fected blood. The carcasses should
be burned or deeply buried. The
healthy fowls should be moved to
new quarters, if possible, and eare-j
fully watched for signs of disease.
Houses and runs should be thoro- i
uglily cleaned frequently and dis- j
infected with a per emit solution!
of carbolic acid, a 2 per cent solu-,
tion of compound cresol. or a re-;
liable coal tar disinfectant in pro j
per dilution. The drinking waterI
may be made antiseptic by adding,
one dram of permanganate of pot- j
ash to each gallon. This serve* j
'to prevent the spread of disease
through the water and also is a \
' convenient means of administer- j
ing an internal antiseptic. Preven- •
tion a d treatment to control fowl j
cholera by means of antiserum and j
vaccine have not proved sufficient- j
ly satisfactory to warrant rccom-j
mendation of the use of sin^h pr« j
pa rat ions.

PRACTICAL POINTERS FOR
RAISERS OF GOOD POULTRY
Keep standard-bred poultry. It
is more profitable.
Don't let roosters run with the
hens after the breeding season is
over. The hens will lay just as
well and the eggs will be infertile
and will keep better.
Hatch early. Early hatched
chicks live better, grow better, atul
the pnllets make fall and winter
layers.

The Most Sensational
Silk Sale
IN OUR
ENTIRE HISTORY
For weeks and months past we have scoured the markets, meeting with disappointments at almost
every turn. For a time the difficulties seemed insurmountable, but our annual silk sale must be
held, and tremendous sacrifices on our part, together with the co-operation of some of America's
leading silk makers, have at last made it possible. Indeed, so extraordinary are these offerings
that we feel safe in predicting the greatest silk-selling day in the history of The Fair. Shrewd
buyers will supply their silk needs for the entire summer and fall in this wonderful sale. We
cannot too strongly urge you, therefore, to be on hand early for first selection.
