ADVICE TO BOYS How to sue
coed in business. Boys, you will
sometime have to work for living.
When you get good place you had
better keep it. It you have a place
Of business Of your own, or clerk for
somebody else, always be prompt.
1t the man you work for said come
In the morning at $50, do not come
at 6:35, but be at the right time. Be
careful with business transactions.
Be regular, ready and willing. If
you are called to 60 out on business,
no matter what kind of weather, be
as ready and willing to go in rain,
sleet and snow, as you would be in
sunshine. Be honest, above all
things. Tell the truth if it takes
your life. 1t you do anything
wrong, tell the truth about it. You

hard it may be. Give your whole
attention to what you are doing.

don't be discouraged. Do your best
and that is all that is required Of
you. ''Stick to your job and your
job will stick to you" If you will
follow my advice, whenever you are
a man, l think you will succeed.

pie. Farmers look upon it as a
minor thing on the farm, when, if
an account was kept OF their cons

thoroughbred fowls. The game
occupies the same position in the
Poultry Fancy, that the English
race horse does in the horse world.
The B. Breasted Red Game, Silver
Duck Wing, Red Pyle and Indian
are among the many varieties of
game. Then come the more useful,

one wants eggs, he should purchase
some of the small non setting breeds,
such as Leghorns and Hamburgs.
If he wants general purpose fowl

Plymouth Rock or Langshans would
suit him. If you want to breed
fowls for their fancy points, or for
the love Of breeding thsm, you should
get Polish, Sultans or some of the
Bantams, which gre interesting as
