BUILTH WOMEN'S INSTITUTE.
BUILTH WOMEN'S INSTITUTE. The monthly meeting of this Institute was held at the Church Hall, Builth Wells, on the 13th instant, and was presided over by Mrs. Aubrey Thomas, the Skreen. There was a good attendance. Addresses were delivered by the President, who reviewed the past work of the institute and set forth what should be its aims and oblects in future, and by Miss Elsie Vaughan (the- secretary), who interested the gathering with a detailed account of a commu- f, nal kitchen at Hampstead, where she had been regularly at work for several months. Mrs. Aubrey Thomas said the Builth Women's Institute was the first in the county. She had been asked to start one at Glasbury, and the Brecon people also had been anxious to hear about the achievements of the Builth Institute, and she had told them of all the useful work it had accomplished so far. She was very anxious that it should widen its usefulness. Its chief aims were co-operation and unselfishness. Each member should contribute some quota to the good of the whole, and not leave it to the more energetic members. She very much wished that each member would give her the benefit of her ideas. She was sure many of them could make very valuable suggestions. If some of them were too shy to speak, she proposed that a box should be placed in the room, into which they could put written suggestions. Reviewing the work done by the institute during the past year, Mrs. Thomas mentioned the war savings association, which had been very successful, owing to the efforts of Mrs. Telfer Smith, and the fruit bottling, which was due to Miss Yaughan and her many helpers. The work for the coming year included the formation of a rabbit club. The increase of the food supply was a great object at present of women's insti- tutes, particularly meat and cheese. In the course of her remarks 0:1 Communal Kitchens Miss Vaughan said she had not heard whether communal kitchens had been estab- lished in any small towns. The scheme was already very well known in large towns, the object being to provide wholesome and well cooked food at a reasonable price, and to clear expenses, without expecting a profit. In the one in which she had been helping, the initial outlay for cooking utensils, &c., had been met by an advance of .€50 from a local authority, and all the work was at first done by voluntary helpers but as time went on it was found necessary to engage a professional cook and a trained secretary to keep accounts. Describing the up-to-date cooking utensils and methods of preparing the dishes, Miss Vaughan stated that there was not a single frying pan. The strictest 11 Z!1 economy was observed, one of the rules being that only one match per day should be used. It was remarkable how cleverly the oook managed to provide for a varying number of customers from day to day, without the slightest waste of food. This difficulty would not be encountered in Builth, as it would be easy to find out how many they had to provide for.

MCMIX. There is a fine new building of white marble and Greek architecture in a western city. On the cornerstone is engraved tlie date of the building's erection. It was begun in 1S09, but, following the usual custom, the date is in Roman capitals, thus: MCMIX. The other day one citizen approached another and asked him if he had teen their common friend Danny that day. I sure did." replied the second man. A few minutes ago I seen him standing in front of MeMiek's new building over there -on the corner." THE LESSONS OF WAR. "So you're saving up to buy an airship? You're quite an ambitious little boy."

A teacher was trying to impress upon her pupils the fact that history repeats itself and that many things which happen to-day are the counterpart of similar things that happened years and years ago. "'Now, will anyone tell me of anything new of importance that has happened during the last twenty-five years?" inquired the teacher. "Me," answered one of the pupils.— Columbus Disvatch. i I

POULTRY KEEPING. -
POULTRY KEEPING. i A PROFITABLE HOnBY. BY If UTILITY." PROVIDING SHADE. The idea that animals and biisds need shade from hot sun is only very slowly dawning in the minds of a good many people. I suppose there are still thousands' of poultry-keepers who think their young, as well as adult birds, need no protection from the hot sun. Of course, this is not correct; young birds need shade, and a number of the so-called sudden deaths" among chickens are due to the little birds standing about in the blazing sunshine. If chickens can be given the run of "an orchard or plantation they will do well during summer time. But there are not many poultry- keepers fortunate enough to possess these ad- vantages, and then artificial shade must be provided. One of the best methods of giving this shade is by growing tall plants wu-h as sunflowers,, artichokes, or hollyhocks along the outside of the run on the south side. Tiiey may, if space permits, be grown in the run, for if permitted to get about a foot high before the chickens are allowed nenr their; they will be strong enough and growing fast enough to prevent the birds doing them any injury. No* only are the chickens benefited by the shade, but the plants ahjo benefit br the poultry manure. Canvas or matting or even sacking can be stretched on frames above the run as an alternative to growingjlants, but this is a much more e'xpeHWve metJTCd-, for everyhing of this kind is very dear at present. FEEDING CHICKENS. -Rearing young chickens this year is by nil means easy, for many foods we used to depend upon for them cannot now be obtained. Still, there is urgent need of even they are only reared to be killed later on IA food. When feeding chickens, particulari notice must be taken of each one, for some- times, though the majority thrive, just a few seem to lag behind. If these are fed by them- selves and given a little extra nourishing food, they may soon catch up, and turn out as good layers or as good to eat as any of the other birds. But the main idea when rearing chickens is that thev must grow steadily without any checks, for in this way the finest birds are produced. During .the first month it is gene- rally srrfflwwt to teM-t wiÖI h -11 fix- tures that are still available, but. after that time other foods may be given, and it is often wise to augment the grain food with such flesh and bone formin foods as green bone, meat, or bone meal. The chickens should be made to scratch for their grain food, &s healthy exercise is necessary for young birds. If some of it is scattered 'in short litter the evening before, the birds will soon learn to look for it in the morning, and they will not. have to wait hungrily till they are fed about break- fast time. Only when 'they have cleared up all their grain food should any niure be given. When a month old,' the allowance of gram food may be lessened and two meals of soft food can be given as well. Green food must, of course, be given, espe- cially if the chicks are not on a grass run. FEEDING-CAGE FOR CHICKENS. I Finelv-eut lawn trimmings, clover, lucerne, any fresh waste vegetable leaves and sprouted grain are all good. Where the chiekens are in the same yard as adult birds, they must be able to get their food as much as they* want without being bothered by the larger birds. A cage similar to that in a sketch is quite effective in this way. It consists of a trough fastened to a fnune of light wood, with laths nailed round the outside, at equal distances. These are so arranged that half-grown birds can get through, but full-grown birds cannot. The ton of the frame should be covered with wire, the birds are not then so likely to stand npon it. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. F. L. J."—VENTILATION.—I wonder how long it will be before the simple fact goes home to all people yho keep animals of one kind or another that they must have plenty of fresh air? It is air starvation that has caused the high mortality that exists among the young stock of various kinds of animals, and it is only by going back again to the natural ways of living—pure, wholesome food, clean water, and continual fresh air—that healthy, hardy stock are reared. Of oourse; -it is not dangerous to have the ventilators of your fowl-houses open during the night. It is much more dangerous to have them shut. Draughts must naturally be prevented, but in well-built poultry-houses these can easily be avoided. Keep the shutters opefl all the warm nights, and your birds will benefit considerably. ,v. T."—FIXING THE PRICE «TF-EG«S.— You need have no fear yet, for it was stated in the House quite recently that the price of eggs is not to be fixed—for some time, at any rate. It is the rationing of meat, of course, which has sent eggs up to the price of 5d. each in May, for it is during May and June that the heavier breeds usually make their biggest output- It is not too late for hatching ohiefeens, especially as you are fortunate enough to live in the country, and have pleafcy of stubbles for your hens. It is not only my own experience, but the experience of thousands of poultry-keepers,, that pnre-brcd birds are the cheapest in the long run. The average of the "barndoor" fowl is about seventy a year, the average of the pure-bred is about, 150. Newcomer." DUCKS LAYING IN THE WATER are a great nuisance. When nooem to pom1:- and pools is allowed, this may be pie- vented by keeping the ducks confined in the duck-house in the morning till about nine o'clock, bv which time they will have laid, if they are going to. A little meat find also .stewed" nseed added to the morning feed of chopped food will encourage egg production. L."—PERCIJES FOR YOVNO BIRDS.— You are right in not allowing your v-ft'tmg birds to perch; it is a certain way to make them crooked-breasted If they perch before the breast hon«s are properly set. Whon you 00 let thejn 'perch, make the perches ..n 1ft. ajbove the floor, and frpw 14-ia. to Sin. Wi(V. The edges should be romided, »tjd thev ends should "rest in sockets, so that th £ perches mav easily *be moved in and out for cleaning and Rubbing with paraffin to keep away" red mite*and other parasites.

c: J. F. "-Do FERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST WHEN PRESERVED ?-I am surprised that any- one should ten vcu such a mistaken idea- it is, infertile eggs that are best for pickling, not the fertile ones. Hens that have been running with a coek should be tafen away and kept by themselves for a week or ten days- At the end ef this time it is p?ettv certain allf the eggs then laid will be interfile and im,tr safely be pickled. Fertile eggs, of course, have the live germ in them, and it stands to reason that they are not likely to remai* good for so long a time as ona without this ..m. W. K." LIMKWASH RECIPE.
