yards and S25 more in 100 hens. That
makes a $50 investment. He figures
that ne should make at least 81 per
hen per year, which would be 200 per
cent on his investment. Now is it
not unreasonable to expect that? True,
it is sometimes done, but it is not the
rule. Nearly all of our fiocks of poul-
try, no matter how badly handled, pay
for their care and a legal rate of in
terest besides.
The reaso why farmers do not ap-
preciate what the flock does for them
is because no records are kept. A man
will tell you that chickens do not pay
to bother with. Ask him how he
knows and in most cases he will an
swer that he has that impression. He
has never counted the eggs he has re-
ceived or the meat, nor has he taken
any account of the rich fertilizer.
If in-breeding is followed care
should be taken to eliminate all the
weak birds as breeders on either side.
Out-breeding tends to correct this, and
when out-breeding is followed 1t is
less necessary to eliminate the weak
ones, or, rather, there will be fewer
weak ones. In-breeding is not to be
entirely discouraged, but it should be
done with judgment.
One reason why blooded birds some
times do not do as we'll as common
stock is because they are kept con
fined, while the common stock have
the run of the farm. The exercise and
variety of food they obtain go a long
way to giving good results. The man
that has birds that he wants to use for
breeders should arrange to give them
all the space they need.
Temperature of Eggs.-When the
thermometer is laid on the eggs, If 1t
is kept in that position, it should have
the bulb resting on a fertile egg in
stead Of on an unfertile one. The
fertile eggs are warmer than the in
fertile ones by one or two degrees,
and if the thermometer is laid on the
lnfertlle eggs 1t Will register Loo loN'
This in turn will result in keeping the
temperature too high.
4 . .
The man that wants to make a sue
cess of poultry raising must first give
attention to the health of his fowls.
This is the first thing to be looked
after. 1t should not only receive the
first attention. but it should receive
the bulk of attention ever after.

They Are Always Indications of Dis
orders That Require Immediate
Attention.
Headaches in children should always
be looked upon as worthy of consider
alton, for they may be excited by a
variety of ~preventable causes, and they
occasion a great deal of suffering.
Not i~nfrequently headache with chill
dren of school age is the result of de-
fective sight, and the trouble is entire
ly overcome by the use of spectacles.
Headache is often caused by iudiges-
ton. anaemia. constipation or over
work at school.
There is the headache for want of
fresh air and exercise, and also, the
hysterical, nervous headache, accom-
panied by depression and generally in
tensified or induced by distasteful oc.
equations. Besides all these varieties
of headaches there is also that which
is often the first symptom of various
fevers and brain diseases.
If n can make sure of the cause of
headache. n is already we'll on the
way to remedy the evil. In all cases
except when the pain is the direct
precursor of active disease, much may
be done by attention to diet and by
taking sufficient outdoor exercise. If
dyspepsia be the root of the trouble,
the child must eat only such food as
he can digest, and does not overload
his stomach. He should also have his
teeth examined by a dentist, for de-
cayed teeth often prevent the proper
chewing of food, with the in~variable
result, Indigestion.

A%ntinnitx of rnmilinr Ternns.

The antiquity of familiar terms is
surprising when it is known. Many
people are not aware that "Wha the
dickens!' occurs in Shakespeare; but
fewer still will be prepared to hear
that the phrase, "a regular shindy,' is
found in an authors note to a poem
called "The Poplsh Kingdom pub
lished in 1870. A writer in the Athe-
naeum quotes this note, which refers
to the celebration of Maundy Thurs
day: Midnight services are held in
church, the lights are put out, and a
regular shindy follows, men being
beaten and wounded."-London Globe.

JIM wARDNER OF IDAHO.
His Old Employer Did Not Know
How Good He Was,

A N0N - w
How Good He Was.
Jim Wardner of Idaho is one of the
characters of the West, and he has
made and lost three or four fortunes.
Just now he is in New York laying the
lines along Wall street for another
fortune for himself in a big mining
claim at Cape Nome or some other
rich point. There are hundreds of good
stories in which he figures, and the
other evening he told one on himself,
or rather corroborated and corrected
1t as another man~tld it.
A number of years ago he was trav-
cling for Bosworth of Milwaukee. He
was young then and inclined to be
somewhat speedy, and for some dere-
LECTION or other he lost his position.
Not at all overcome by this misfortune
he went down to Chicago and soon had
a place promised to him by an oleo-
margarine firm in that town, provided
Bosworth would recommend him. The
Chicago firm wrote to Bosworth that
same day and ON the same train With
it's letter went Wardner to see Bos-
worth. Wardner found his old boss
and stated-his case, saying that if he
would give him a good word he would
have q job all right in Chicago. Bos-
worth was willing to do that much,
and Wardner asked permission to
write the letter of recommendation
himself and Bosworth could sign it.
Bosworth agreed to this, too, and
Wardner sat down and wrote a rec
ommend" for himself, which he handed
over to Bosworth to read and sign.
Bosworth read it over once and then
went through it again, and looked up
at Wardner in a h~alf-surprised, curious
way.
by Jove, JIM" he said, eff I'd had
any idea you were as good a man as
this ! never would have let you got
away from me in the world"
Then he signed the letter and Jim
got the job.-Washington Star.
