''Only papa" she whispered.
He moved about uneasily.

POULTRY NOTES.
No. 2S.

Go into the poultry business, but
don't go into it on some one else's
money.
There is money in the chicken bus
mess, but it takes good bit of atten-
ton.
And the work is no small item; if
you work for dollar a day you are
expected to earn that dollar.
Don't expect to invest few dollars
in poultry, then loaf around and ex-
pect your birds to earn your money.
If you do you may expect disappoint-
ment.
The United States does not produce
eggs enough to supply the markets.
Large quantities are shipped annually
from foreign countries. So there is no
danger of glutting the market.
By getting good stock and using
judgment and common sense and Civ
ing them proper time and attention,
anyone can make success of poultry
raising,

Sawfshes belong to the order Of rays,
although their bodies have the shape Of
ordinary fishes. They swim wholly
with their tails, and the long weapons
which adorn their noses are merely pro-
longations of the snout, armed on either
side with teeth in sockets and covered
with rough skin of great toughness.
With this formidable instrument they
attack their prey, tearing pieces of flesh
from its body or ripping open the abdo-
men to feed upon the intestines of the
victim There is something positively
abnormal about all these creatures called
rays. They suggest the notion of fishes
antediluvian, and it is not surprising to
find many large and extinct species
among the fossils of vanished epochs.--
