CuItivating n Fenced Garden.

The ideal condition with many per
SONS is to have the garden mfenced,
permitting approach from all sides with
horse and cultivator to assist in the cul-
tivation of the growing crops and i'll tho
subduing of weeds. But fenced gar
den is sometimes made imperative by
circumstances over which the owner has
no control, the circumstances" being in
the nature of his neighbors' cows, pigs
fowls or other animals that are liable on
occasions to be at large to the injury of
gardens and other cultivated places.
The owners own animals, even when
excellent care is taken, may sometimes
escape from their allotted limits and in
an hour nearly ruin garden.
For these and similar reasons many are
obliged to fence in their gardens and de-
prive themselves and the gardens also of

BREEDING: eAaRrD PLYMouTA ROCKS
One Plan OF Mating This variety For the
Best Results.

best Results.
Breeders have different plans of mat.
+ ing this vari ty for best results. Some
advocate mating standard colored fe-
male with light male to produce light
females. The result of this mating 10
some good light females, all very light
males and some very dark females. The
same breeder, to get his good cockerels,
mates his dark females to very dark
standard male. AS u result he gets some
good cockerels-some lighter and some
darker. The pullets are nearly black
and worthless. Following is what q
breeder writes on the subject in The Poul-
try Monthly:
"My plan has been, as rule, to mate
standard female and male of as near
the same shade as I can. The barring
should be deep ON the females, and in
the back should have from five to seven
bars on each feather. 1t is not expected
to be so good on the males; they usually
run lighter in undercolor. This mating.
if followed up for q few seasons, will pro-
duce more good standard colored males
and females than any other plan of mat
ing, and the culls will be few and far
between.
"Of course if this plan is taken up
with stock that has been bred from ex-
IRENE matings the result will not be very
satisfactory the first season, but if con-
tinued will soon begin to show up in
good shape. If one can get stock that
has been bred from the single mating, he
is on the short road to success, and it
will save him many bird from going to
the block. 1t is surely much more profit
able to raise so good standard birds.
male and female, out of 100 Matched from
standard mating that will sell from SO
to So each, than to raise 40 fine pullets
worth So each and then market 40 nearly
white cockerels and 90 black pullets.
with the other extreme mating so
per cent of the females are too dark to
use as breeders, and 10 per cent of the
males arc so dark as to be slaty and not
saleable, and then one seldom gets that
bright blue tingcd plumage on males
from this cockcrel mating.
ut will pay any one who has never
tried these standard matings to try
them and note the results. Give them
good honest trial and do not content
yourself with Il single years breeding"

Twenty Girls Enough.

In the Quaker City there is we'll known business and society man who pursues strikingly original line of con duct. In his business he is quiet, reg ular and industrious, and particularly brides himself upon the neatness and accuracy which characterized his books of account. During the social season he fits about from entertainment to en- tertainment, frequently attending operas and playhouses, always having with him some one of a score of girls to whom he pays more or less attention. When asked why he had so many girls he said: "Oh, all girls talk as they write-very much alike, but still there is more variety in twenty than in one. Besides, keep 8 regular set of books at home in which l enter every cent spend on them, and it affords me considerable amusement. For instance, charge cost of theater tickets, flowers, supper and carriage hire, and then credit it with the amount of pleasure I had-'Passable time en- joyed, Enjoyed the evening hugely etc. The girls who afford me the most enjoyment receive the greater number of invitations, so think l may fairly say that seek relaxation and pleasure in the same way that attend to my business-on a system. ."-Philadelphia Press.

The owner of paper lay dying in his lair, and the dew of death had gathered on his brow so calm and fair; but prin- ter knelt beside him as his life-blood ebb- ed away, and asked the dying editor if he had word to say, says the Yenowine's Milwaukee News. The doomed man murmured softly as he grabbed the prin- ter's fist "Well, at last the struggles over and I never will be missed.
 'Take a message and token to that city man of mine, that all his worn-out chestnuts he had better put in brine. There's his joke about the weather, which he used this many years, and the gag about the fellow who is always hunting beers. And the item he's so fond of. on the man who peddles books, and the chest nut based on people who go fishing in the brooks; just to save the papers credit, and to cast no slurs on mine, would ask him as favor to put such gags in brine
 And the lies he's fond of telling of the street cars and the tacks, and the one about the dandy who will never pay for clothes, and the one on women cleaning house-it's weary, heaven knows!
