THE HEN BUSINESS.

A pen and ink wrestler has united
a book and let it loose upon the pa
tient people, which book bears the
title "How to make $500 year from
twelve hens" We tried this getting
rich out of the hen business last year,
and while it looks nice and pretty in
gilt letters on blue binding, to save
$500 year from twelve hens our ex-
perience was different. We secured
last spring, a collection of six lady
hens and male companion, and put
them in an extensive hen pasture
in the rear of our premises. We
figured it all out that with six eggs a
day, and occasional vacations which
would be paid for in chickens, we
would soon have money enough to 60
Europe or run for office. Early in
the season, the brown Leghorn troops
fought nobly, and we began to look
around with the idea of getting a
safe to put our egg money in. Just
at this juncture corn stepped up to
81 bushel, and our hens ceased lay
ing and turned all their attention to
their appetite.
During the interim (interim is a
word that we found in the office when
we bought it, one of our hens had
succeeded in presenting to the world
a dozen little brown balls, which i'm
agination told us would make excel
lent chicken pies along in December.
Imagination lied to us, however, for
in less than fom weeks every one of
the little brown darlings had been re-
ferred to the interior department of a
COMPOUNDED skunk, and there was
seven weeks lost to be charged up to
that hens profit and loss account.
We forbear telling of our midnight
ramble in the dewy mazes of our gar
den, clad in modesty and night
shirt, with revolver filled with 32-
100 cartridges and a heart filled with
luminosity toward that skunk. We
draw a curtain over that scene.
When fall came, and after we had
bought eggs to feed ourselves and
corn to feed our hens for awhile, we
retired from the hen business, and
we have made up our minds that it
takes something more than a book
and q dozen of hens to make $500 q
year. Of course there are hen ar.
lists who can play the game for all il
is worth, and make it pay; but fol-
a greenhorn to think that twenty-foul
hens are worth a cool thousand tc
him in a year, is folly. If you car
make hens lay every day, and bring
chickens up on bottle in some Sc
Guided corner where skunks coulC
not get at them, it would pay fol
novices to establish hen diaries. A:
it is, however, we novices had bette
save our money from buying sucl
books as the one described, to buy
eggs with, and let those who under
stand egg harvesting do the work
There is too much responsibility
too much getting up nights too shoe
skunks, and too few eggs in the bus
mess, to offer inducements to amate

FALL CoLTs.-We grow to more
strongly appreciate the arguments in
favor of ssfall colts on small farms.
Usually the late fall and winter is a
time of comparative leisure for the
farm horses. A mare can certainly
as we'll suckle her foal at this season
as during the spring and hot summer
months when she is required to do
full labor in addition. Many colts
are injured by over-heating the dam
in hot weather, making the milk I'M
suitable for them. A fall or early
winter colt, if good quarters be pro-
vided, can be made entirely comfort
able and will thrive we'll. In the
spring, when weaned, it is in good
shape to go on grass, and comes to
the second winter strong, lusty fell
low, well prepared for time of dry
fOOd-much better than is the wean-
ed spring colt for his first winter.
Probably there is less certainty of
getting mares with foal in the fall.
1t is the practice of some good farm
ers to put their spring dropped FLIES
to the stallion the fall after they are
two years old, thus giving them the
third summer for growth and the de-
velopment of the Young.

And then remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick or a pen,
a wheelbarrow a set of books, digging
bitches or editing paper, wringing an auc-
ton bell or writing funny things you must
work. If you look around, son, you will see
the men who are most able TO live the rest
of their days without work are the men who
work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with OverwOrk, so. 1t is beyond
your power TO do that, on the sunny side of
thirty. They die sometimes, but it's because
they quit work at p. IN. and don't go home
until a. III. IJs the interval that Kills, my
son. The work gives you an appetite for
your meals, it lends sOlidity TO your slum-

probation OF holiday. There are young
men who do not work. my son; bat the
world is not proud of them. 1t does not
know their names, even; it simply speaks
of them as old so-and SOS boys Nobody
likes them; the great busy world doesn't
know that they are there. So find out what
you want TO be and do, my son, and take off
you coat and make dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry you will be
apt to get into the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays,
and the better satisfied will the world be with
you.
