BE sure to have suitable cutters around

Keep the drinking water IN the shade
and have the dishes arranged so the chicks
cannot get in them.
Remember, u grow bone, muscle, feath-
ers and flesh a varied diet is necessary,
and the food must be ofthe best. whatever
is used
Feed chicks frequently, but only what
they will plrtake OF with keen relish.
Never surfeit them unless at the last feed
in the evening, then they may be allowed
to have about all they want.
Fine, strong hearty chickens are not
the result of carelessness or slidshod
methods The greatest ST ccess is made
by those who make study Of one breed.
Eternal vigilance will be the price of
young chicks as soon as the hot weather
sets in Cleanliness must then be OBJ
served or vermin will swarm and take Off
the chirpers by the score.
Frequently turn them up so the sunshine
can get in its sanitary work
Regularity in feeding brings uniformity
in results. To get the best results, best
methods must be adopted
If you are not as successful as your
neighbor, do not say he has better luck, >
but 20 and investigate the reason. You
will find better methods more proper
reason for your neighbours success.
Teach the chicks to scratch in litter for
food as soon as they are three week old.
If scrub chicks are good pure breds are
much better, and the uniform color and
appearance is often quite a factor in selling.
If the hens are lousy when they are
given brood of chicks, the lice will leave
the hens and infest the chicks.
Keep the Coops and yards sweet by
using air-slacked lime.
See that the eoops are securely closed
at night, so that rats or other prowling
vermin cannot enter.
1t is important to have feeding pens or
coops when there are broods of various
ages running together. They can easily
be made of aths.
1t is good plan to select eggs for set
ting from the best hens and save chicks for
next years breeding stock.
If there are pullets orcockerels in some
of the broods that grow much faster than
the rest. mark them to be saved not to be
sold. This method will build up the
stamina of your flock.
1t will reqire seven pounds Of skinned
milk to equal one pound of lean beef for
flesh-forming purposes.
Occasionally when the earth is dry spade
up small space near the brood coops and
make fine and mellow, so the little chirp-
ers can take bath. The way they will
enjoy it will pay you for your trouble.

of tn steamer. Well, was that pes
kered to see one that routed Georgc
out SO soon as it was daylight. an we've
been standiA' on this bridge ever since
waitin' fer bicycle man ter come

ion, the old man said:
"Well, if I did rout yer out kinder
early, ye'rs the most interested,
George"
"Yer bet I ami" George replied; and
then the younger man went on to tell
what the bicycle had done for the horse
raiser and farmer. He has band OF
some 600 horses on the range and 90
acres of oats. Five years ago these
horses would average s25 per head un-
broken. and he received 60 cents per
bushel for the oats not used in getting
his horses in condition for market. To
day the horses can hardly be given
away, and his oats bring 81 cents. And
this he ascribes to the bicycle.
And SO the two men sat, perched on
the bridge railing, watching, as the
morning grew on, the increased num-
Der of bicyclists crossing the bridge
and pouring out their anathemas on
that "goldarned thing" the silent steed.

two hours to a concert, are not only cui-
tivating apd indulging their musical
taste, but are engaged in the somewhat
prossic occupation Of producing no less
than 100 weight OF coal and II gallons Of
water from the impurities and moisture
of their own breath, and that IL they
were all performing themselves, instead
of listening. this quantity would be
nearly doubled. 1t is far more whole

ancestry. In:the district of Acezza,
near Naples, the people are very much
addicted to the making Of vino from
grapes; and it is curious that from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago in the season of the
vintage, which is time when every
body seems to be full of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along
through Acezza. They began to poke
fun at the vintagers, and in war of wit
the players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagers
a fellow with an enormous red nose.
long and crooked like a powder horn;
and he was the very drollest and wit
tiest OF the whole company. The play
crs were SO tickled with his witty say.
ings, all set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began to
think that this droll fellow would be q
great success to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted; and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and great deal Of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buffoon and all were delighted.
This example led to the establish
ment OF a dFou or buffoon in all COM
panies of comedians; and he was al
ways called after the original one,
whose name was Pucco dAniello. This
was. in the course Of time, softened into
Polecenelio; the French made it Po-
!ichenel, and the English Punchinello.
After a time the English, for the sake
Of brevity, left OF the latter part of the
word, and called it plain Punch.
Hoy Judy originated, history does
not record; but it IS very easy to sur
miss her story. Such q merry fellow as
Punch had as good . right to wife a.
anybody, Il de could get one. Why not?
One might think that his beet-like nose
would have stood in his way of finding
q woman willing to marry him; but his
wit was an offset to this. Women are
fond of wit, and punch would have
played his part i'll II he could not have
made it oover his nose.
Now that we have surpassed Punch to
have had wife, and also supposed her
name to have been Judy, what was
more natural than for this amiable
couple. now and then, to have a bit of a
breeze? They lived wandering life.
and, like other people in their station.
