AN ACCOMPANIMENT BIRD.
Mississippi Housewife's Experience
 With Famished Guest

With Famished Guest.
 In the days before the war fam fly of hard-working people lived in a border county of Mississippi. They did not keep a tavern, but they often fed the wayfarer.
 One Saturday the housewife roasted ] large turkey, baked batch of bread and made number of pies. She was ready for her Sunday dinner.
 That Saturday afternoon a single horseman appeared. He asked for his dinner and fed his horse in the ample stable of the farmer. The housekeep- CT was busy and the man in haste, so she set the turkey before him, thinking that he would not make much of an inn pression upon it.
 The stranger sat down in front of the turkey and set to work. He cut Into the breast of one side and ate it all. His appetite was only whetted. He demolished the wing and then cut oH the leg. The drumstick disappeared and the upper joint was stripped. The woman stood aghast. She battered out to the back porch, where her pies were cooling, and, selecting 6 tempting ap- pie pie, set it before her guest. He put 1t to one side and turned the un- touched side of the turkey toward him. He cut off the wing and the leg. The woman saw her Sunday dinner disap- pear before her eyes.
 At length, having exposed all the bones of the large fowl, he attacked the pie and left not a erumb.
 The woman sank in chair near by. She was too much overcome for a mo- ment to speak. Then she said:
 You seem to have enjoyed the tur- key. There is not so much left as I ex- pected."
 The man pushed back his chair, took out his quill toothpick, crossed his knees and sighed with satisfaction. Then he spoke
 Well, madam" said he. "a turkey Is a very ineonyenient bird"
 The woman waited for him to ex- plain, but he was silent. Then she said:
 Why is the turkey inconvenient?"
 Well, madam, it is little too much for one and not quite enough for two, ]" replied her guest.
 The woman tainted.

The Word ss Ale"

What could be more English than the word ale? 1t carries us back to the banquets of our dead ancestors in Wal halla, and some of it's compounds open up yistas into that old England which is fast disappearing, becoming a tale that is told, obsolete itself. Such are ale-bush, a tavern sign; ale-conner, Gan officer appointed in every court leet, and sworn to look to the assize and goodness of bread, ale and beer" Ale-cost, the name of kind of tansy used to flavor the rustic's home brew ed, has good old English look; yet it bears witness to the mongrel nature of the speech of this mongrel nation cost being from the Greek kostos, a savory herb of species unidentified. Alegar is eager or sour ale, used as vinegar.

Anti-worry Pads.

Among sure preyentives for gray hairs and crows feet a certain busy woman sets down what she calls an anti-worry pad. She keeps an ordinary note-size writing pad on her dressing table, and on this she jots down a list of engagements, letters to be answered, business to be attended to, articles needed for house or for personal use, conveniences, charities and all the other interest that enter into a busy life, as they come to her mind By this means she relieves herself of the worrying sense of something forgotten, which is apt to haunt the woman or man whose days are filled with a null tiplicity of demands, and who has no secretary to keep him or her remem- bering details. For such, the anti worry pad is recommended as a nerve and temper tonic.

So I concluded l would try it myself the other day, and went to a clothing store that was selling out at 95 per cent below cost. I immediately began buying I needed some shirts and bought several just because they appeared to be way below cost. When I bought them I knew that they were a half size too small. but l concluded that I could get into them. Now I find that I can't wear them, and have de- cided to diet myself to fall off so as to fit those very shirts. To do this will have to deprive myself of all good things simply because 1 got the idea that anything below the marked price was a bargain. Of course I bought collars to fit those bargain shirts ano spent everything had

Stacking Nay.

Let me give you a better way OF
putting up your hay than those two old
plans. which have their faults. Shocking
the hay and bringing it in with ropes is
too slow. and in bull ralsing it in you
are liable to begin stacking too soon. or
your hay 10 liable to get bleached.
besides you can not stack SO evenly and

= The best way to start in the poultry
business on large scale is to start with
only few, learn all you can about
chickens, and they try to breed all the
good you can take care Of without
crowding the first year. II. at the end
OF the year you are satisfied to go ahead
and have enough money on hand to get
everything ready for larger breeding
flock. as well as to carry you through
the year for the necessaries OF life. then
you might quit your job and start in;
but remember. that this first year is
what counts. You learn whether you
have taste for the business, and get a
pretty good idea OF raising poultry.
TIE second year you should be able TO
produce a flock large enough to enable
you to go into it more heavily. and with
ordinary success you should make
good living od of 500 hens.
We would strongly advise you, when
stating. to be governod by the following
rules: First. start with best to be had;
second, decide what you desire to breed
for-eggs or meat; third get one variety
and sty with it. II you breed only one
variety. you can soou, by advertising
little and exhibiting your birds. make a
reputation on them, and sell good lot
at good prices. while the rest can go to
market. Do not start with the idea
that you can sell all you breed at fancy
prices, for you will not be able to do so
for some time. To earn a reputation
for your fowls, you must advertise for
at least one year before you can expect
much -eturn. The poultryman who
succeeds in selling all his fowls at good
prices is the man who has spent years
in the poultry business and many
dollars in advertisiug.-Pacitc Poultry
