INCUBATOR CHICKS
II Il Less Trouble to Raise Thsn TAan
II IL to Run After . Lot Of
Setting Hens.

Blessings on the man who first in
vented the incubator. It seems Attle
abort of marvellous how these wooden
machines (when intelligently man.
aeed) will hatch chickens 20 perfect
". They really have . better start
IN life than the chicks the old hen
matches, for the very simple reason
they have no lice. How many read
ers have tried Matching ducks In an
incubator, l wonder. There is no pret-
tier sight than one Of those wonderful
machines full of little ducks when the
last ones are out of the shell. The
greedy little things begin to nose
around" with their long yellow bills)
for something to eat before they get
dry. l Matched three little quails in
my machine last summer. After they
got dry tried to put my hand on one
of them and he hoped away to the
darkest corner, the little fellow didn't
want to be "cotched."
Some people condemn artificial in
cubation. For my part would rather
give the incubator the little care II
requires than to run after a lot Of
setting hens. 1t is so aggravating to
have an old hen stay off her eggs till
they are cold, or maybe break half the
eggs. Some old hens are like some peo-
pie, there isn't much dependence to be
put in them. And if you have good
incubator (and l believe the most of
them are all right you can depend on
them as money makers. Of course
there is more work attached to raising
the chickens. So much depends on the
person, whether he make a success of
the chicken business. Then | think
one has to have love for any work
he is engaged in to be successful.-Na-
tional Stockman.

is then put on, and as the wax melts
ii will strain through the sack and run
down through the spout into the lower
part. A common dishpan sets under
the spout to catch the wax. There is
little water in the pan. The glass
will keep the wax hot all day. If any
dirt gets through the sack, it will set
tie at the bottom of the hot wax in
the pan, and when the wax is taken
out, next morning, it will be in the
shape of beautiful cake, while alt

HORSE FOR A WOMAN.
which II Worthy Of
David Harum.

The following advice given by
horseman to woman about to pur-
chase pony for her own use is worthy
of David Harum, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser: "Never allow
q dealer to talk you into buying
horse you do not like. If you do not
like him say 10 at once, and IL you can
help It do not assign any reason for say
ing SO. Always talk as little rs you
can about horses when you are pur-
chasing them. Talk of the weather.
anything else you like-but IL you
don't know much about horses be as
silent as you can. The dealer may
probably imagine you know more than
you really do"
The woman in question thought she
would like a coal black horse, or per-
haps one of "dappled gray like the
pony in the nursery song. The horse
man grew eloquent: "A good horse
cannot be of u bad color" he said. And
a horse of bad color is never good
horse. A weakly, watery color indi-
yates WuHl VI stamina. hii' 10 "'o"'
the most undesirable of coats for a
horse. Black horses are nearly always
soft and delicate and slow. The dane
ing, prancing, dashing black horse of
poems and pictures is steed of the
imagination, or the great exception
that proves the rule. Gray is good
color, although few gray horses have
made names for themselves on the
turf. Roam is good. too, in spite of the
fact that thoroughbreds are seldom, if
ever, of that color. For Il pony, dun
color, mottled with black points, is
handsome and usually denotes hardy.
sound constitution. In horses of any
size dun is a rare color. Chestnut
horses are the most cxcitable and are
often delicate. Sorrel-w which is chest
nut and browns good. but seldom
seen nowadays. Bay is the commonest
of all colors, and when combined with
black points is about as good az any
color. For hardness of constitution
and combination of good qualities, a
good dark brown is the best color OF
ALL if there is n rich, tan-colorcd muz-
| zle so much the better"

WHEN NO WOMAN IS LOVELY.
The Unsightly Way In which She
Grabs Her Skirt and
Holds II Up.

The tlattering theory that women
really care how they appear to men
who are looking at them sometimes
gets hard knock, says the New York
Press. One of these times is when Il
woman who is walking along the street
makes motion with her hand which.
in Kentucky or Texas, would, if made
by man, be interpreted rs Il reach for
revolver in the hip pocket. But as
women apparently have no hip pockets
the woman's motion is for the purpose
of holding up her skirts so that it will
not disturb the microbes that are
crawling in the dirt on the sidewalk.
AS she walks along with this hip
pocket hand firmly gripped on her
skirt she reminds the average man of
embarrassing moments in the mascu-
line past, say when Il suspender button
rendered its resignation and he had to
hold up his trousers as he went along
1t is constant wonder that some
Worth who looks after the looks of
women does not invent n skirt sus-
pender or something by which in the
hour Of need the skirt might be osten-
tationsly hoistcd above the danger
level. If the woman were in the coun-
try she might wear her rainy daisy
skirt when she walked in dry weather.
But are vegetable things. like hayseed,
any more harmful than the bacteria of
the dirty pavements?

~ TRADITION EXPLODED.
Here Is nm Extraordinary Young
Woman WHO Is Actually Fond
of DissectinE Mice.

The popular belief that all women are
afraid of mice has been exploded, says
the Philadelphia Record. There is a
young woman visiting "a prominent
Conshohocken family who actually
boasts of her fondness for not only
mice, but rats. The hostess remarked
the other day that her life was made
miserable by the hordes of rats and
mice that infested her cellar.
"Oh, let me go down and see them"
exclaimed this remarkable young wom-
an. I'D like 10 catch one and disscct
il, so you can see what cute little
heart it has The hostess was horror
stricken and begged to know what her
guest knew of dissection.
'I'll tell you" was the reply. "When
at boarding school we had such a dear
old professor. He used TO give us many
interesting and entertaining lessons.
For instance, he would get a rat, run
his sharp knife around its neck. and
presto! the hide was removed, tail and
all. Then he would cut up the remains
and point out the various organs. With
little instruction any of us girls could
perform the operation. and we soon
enjoyed it. ! tell you. there was sucl
a demand for subjects that the school
was soon rid of rats and mice"
