Profitable Industry IL Properly and In
telIigently Conducted.
Success in raising squads for market
depends, first, upon suitable cote.
This should be large, airy and provided
with plenty of nests. Second. upon
proper care, including the keeping OF
:he place clean, providing suitable food
wheat, peas, very little cracked corn
and salt, and giving the birds a chance
to hy, either in a large wire inclosure
or, better still, at large. And third,
upon the stock. There is no better
foundation for this than the common
pigeon, those with white plumaige be-
ing preferable because white squads
sell for rather better prices than col
ored. Such birds, crossed with runts
or dragons, the runts being preferable
on account of size, will give the best
possible stock for squad raising. Doubt
less it can be made N pay when a good
market for the squads can be found.
From one pair of old birds about six
or seven pairs of young can be raised
In season. II there are but six pairs,
that will give a pretty good product,
and as these birds often bring excel
lent prices, as much as three dollars
is possible to be received as the income
from single pair of old birds. But
to receive such n sum it is needful to
get good price for the squads. Com
mon pigeons can be purchased almost
everywhere at 25 to 80 cents a pair.
Eunts are occasionally advertised, but
would be quite expensive to purchase,
A good pair of runts would be worth
probably $40. The squad raiser, how
ever, should buy only runt cocks. and
these need not be the best ones. so that
he probably could get them at two dol
lars to three dollars each.-H. S. Bah

on her way to the piazza, she heard
Aunt Louise say: You never would
have thought that Marguerite would be
so poor disciplinarian. Archie used
to have so sweet disposition, but she
has spoiled it with bad training" And
Mother Hathaway rejoined;
His father never"
But Marguerite hurried on, glad not
to know what naughty thing Archie
did of which his father was never
guilty. She drew long breath as she
sank into a rocking-chair. She YVES so

The three toddlers, for the oldest was
only five, were lively, healthy, active
children, and bright enough 10 see that
punishment was not quite so sure to
follow their misdoings when they were
at grandma's as at home. So between
the unusual indulgence and mamma's
desire TO make as little trouble as pos
sible, they managed TO send mamma
to bed in tears nearly every night. To-
days behavior was the worst yet, and
Marguerite acknowledged to herself
that Louise must be right. The trouble
must be in her training. What bit

to do her whole duty rs a mother.
Marguerite did not notice that grand
pa was in his big, red chair at the end
of the piazza, or she would have sighed
less audibly; but grandpa, though APP

heard and, better still, his warm, ia
therly heart had understood.
"Why! l haven't fed my biddies.
How careless! Margret, don't you want
to see me feed my biddies? Your
chickens have gone to roost first to-
night"
Now, Marguerite was too tired to
care for hens or chickens, but she
would not deny grandpa. who took so
much pride in his fowls. So she took the
proffered dish of cracked corn and pro-
ceeded TO the hen yard.
1t was late, and the chickens came
running and flying up with clamorous
haste. Grandpa was very methodical
in his treatment of his feathered beau
ties. The hens had their repast in
troughs at one end of the large yard,
while the chickens were served with
dough spread on hcards laid at the
other end.
"Margret" was intrusted with the
feeding of the hens. The more delicate
and interesting duty of feeding the
chicks grandpa always reserved for
himself. Marguerite had soon COM
pleted her task and returned TO watch
grandpa as he carefully doled out the
dough.
"Now, Margret," he began, "say what
you're a mind to, hen is an intelligent
bird! See how knowing them chickens
look when hold out ladleful of dough.
'Sh-off there, you big fellow. This
amt your table," and grandpa waved
his ladle sternly at a half-grown chick

the provisions Of the tiny chicks. Hes

continued to Marguerite, while he
reached forward and gave the audacious
rooster a vigorous tap on his back with
the ladle. Nov you keep to your own

"What beauties these little darlings
are" exclaimed Marguerite, as she
picked up "A tiny chicken and gently

hand and cuddled down with a confid-

'Ycs, yes, Alargret," returned grand

Marguerite signifed her desire 10
hear the fable, and grandpa went on:
"You see that big, saucy chicken over
there? the one l whaeked a minute

Marguerite assented with silent
bow.

ST. Louis, July 1s.-Chairman Taubeneck
of the peoples party national committee

TO an interview with a reporter OF the
associated press.
Are you In favor Of the populists en-
dorsing the democratic ticket nominated
at Chicago?" he was asked.

to endorse Bryan and Sewall at the pop
ulist convention. That would mean the
surrender and destruction of the peoples

Have you any idea what the popuists
will do towards combining all the ele-
ments opposed to the gold standard In
the coming campaign"
II believe the peoples party convention
will favor the idea of nominating a candi-
date for president and vice president. and
then combine the votes Of the two parties
on one set Of electors. This can be done
without the sacrifice OF the principles Of
our organization and will also unite the
clements opposed to the gold standard"
DO YOU believe that IL the peoples
Marty national convention should endorse
Mr.. Bryan that the entire vote OF that
party would go to Bryan at the polls
next November"

vention should endorse Bryan and Sewall
the leaders cannot deliver more than S
per cent. OF the populist vote throughout
the country. Members OF the peoples
party possess a strong individuality and
will not follow their leaders II they at
tempt to lead them against their will.
The stay-at-home-yote In the peoples
party would be large enough to defeat

ty should nominate a candidate for presi-
dent and vice president and then combine

Yes. believe the full populist strength
