Il wonder II neighbor X. is baking
eggs this year. as he did last" said
one man to another. as they met on
the public highway one afternoon. Il
suppose you know about his incubator
experience He invCcted I'm one that
held about six hundred eggs. filed the
trays with what he confidently hoped
OF the most delicious description. After
watching the thermometer with the ut
most care for five or six days he got
little tired of 1t. as he seems to tire
OF everything, and. consoling himself
with the reflection that the Incubator
would probably get along all right. he
went out driving and stayed away for
several hours. When he returned the
heat had run up TO n cooking point,
and most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully cooked and done. And
the most astonishing part OF the en-
tire performance was that he treated
the accident more like huge joke than
anything else. Three times last spring
he filed that incubator. and each time
the heat ran up until almost all Of the
eggs were spoiled. Out of eighteen
hundred eggs there were less than one
hundred chickens that grew TO broiler
age. 1t is just such management as
this that gives so many small Industries
bad reputation. To succeed requires
vigilance and care."-New York Led

John Hopkins. one of his contempOr-

Hopkins on account of his rapacious
mode of acquiring his immense wealth.
On one occasion he paid visit to Guy.
who. on Hopkins entering the room,
lighted a farthing candle. Hopkins. on
being asked the object of his visit,
said: Il have been told that you. sir,
are better versed In the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man
living, and | therefore wait on you for
n lesson In frugality. have always
regarded myself as an adept in this
matter. but l am told you excel me"
"Oh." replied Guy, Il. that is all you
came to talk about. we can discuss the
matter In the dark" and thereupon he
blew out the candle. Struck with this
example OF economy. Hopkins acknowl-
edged that he had met his superior

In the care OF cans, they are to be

should be washed as soon as possible

You know the inside Is often judged

water Turn your cans upside down
long enough to allow them to drain;
then leave them right side up, or on
their sides, in the fresh air, and you

The old method Of planting celery
in trenches and blanching the stalks by
plling soil around them is not much
practised now. Various expedients
have been devised to blanch celery
cheaply. Much the best is to have the
celery planted as nearly as possible on
a level surface. When the stalks are
large enough. place wide boards
against the celery, holding them from
falling by piling soil against the out
side Of the board protection. This will
blanch the stalks and leaves without
causing rust, as soil is sure to do In a
rainy season.
