"But you are no farmer. l don't
think you know the difference between
timothy and clover"
ooh, you don't? Perhaps don't know
q barn door from bumblebees' nest?
You are always ready for a fling OF
some sort"
"But how should you know anything
about farming?" she protested.
"How should I know peas from
beans? However, I wasn't thinking Of
going into farming. I've got something
better than breaking my back at the
pillow. Have you any idea what can be
done with a poultry farm of fifty
acres? Do you know that such a farm
would make Rothschild of man in
a few years, and with very little work
on his part? Mrs. BOwser, fortune
awaits US"
THAT is good news, but let me hear
the details. You propose to buy farm
of about fifty acres and raise chickens,
ducks, geese and turkeys!'
That's it, and Standard Oil divi-
dends won't be in it. It'll take most

of my time to count up the profits.
Here's the idea: START in with 1908
hens, 800 ducks, SEQ geese and 200 tur.
KEYS. The natural increase 1t the enc
of the year Should give us 5000 hens,
! 900 ducks. 1000 geese and 40 tur-
keys This is figuring out all losses.
Meanwhile we have sold ut least l.COt
dozen eggs. and the geese have yield
ed $50 pounds Of feathers. Can any
orange grove beat that? ! shan't trust
to natural increase. however. u shall
have two incubatorS at work day and
night. Each machine will turn out
500 fowls per month. or G,OOO per year.
One half Of these will be soldAs spring
chickens, and you know what thump.
ing big price they bring. It's Col
conda, Mrs. Bowser-it's pointer for

You are sure Of your figures" she
asked as he got up IN his excitement to
walk around.
do ever make any mistakes? DO
you think ] would make a change OF
this kind without being sure of my
figures? You can even add 10 per cent
to them and not be up to the mark.
By John, woman, but there is tide
in the affairs of men, and my tide is
here! Can we get ready to move in q
month";"
.Let US 80 over the figures together,
You speak of fifty acre farm. If it is
good land and has decent buildings on
it, the price will be at least $1,000. Did
you figure on that?"
"N-no. That isn't much, however,
You have got to buy 1000 hens 800
ducks. 500 geese and $50 turkeys
That's u total of $3.50. and they will
cost you at least $1,000. l suppose you
allowed for thiS?"

"Are YOU irving to throw cold water

on nv project" demanded Mr.. Bow
ser. as his face began to grow red.
Not at ALL I'm simply getting at
the difference between your outgo and
yo,1r income. Your two incubators
will cost you at least $500. How much
did you allow for them?'
"I-I don't remember"
"Now, you must have yards and
sheds for your poultry" continued Mrs.
Bow ser in tones that reminded him of
mortgage bearing 10 per cent inter-
est. "You can figure that the lumber
and carpenter work will cost another
thousand dollars. Your poultry has
got to cat"
Yes; the crumbs from cur table"
1.-THE crumbs rom our table would
keep one old hen on half rations. Your
fowls have got to have corn and other
solid food. You may set it down that
$3.50 fowls Will eat at least 5000 worth
of food per year.
But I'm going to raise my own corn,
of course"
Then you'll have to buy the seed for
twenty acres and hire the blowing,
planting and al other work"
"By thunder. woman, but can ] new
er advance anything you won't OPP
Dosc:" shouted Mr.. Bowser as lie ges-
tured away with both hands at once.
81 am not opposing you in this she
quietly replied as she prepared to make
7 &c, fer
to be sure how you are coming out"
"Eut / tell you there's fortune in
it."
81 shouldn't wonder. Now. about
the hired help. To take care Of sever
al thousand chicks and the same num-
Der of old fowls you will need man
and woman or q man and boy. You
will have to board them on the prem
ises. You will want a span Of horses
and a wagon and perhaps a single
horse. Has this farm you speak OF got
a creek running through it,"
"How do | know? What do want
Of creek?'
you must have plenty Of water. If
there is no creek, you will have to dig
out ponds for your ducks and geese.
Are you going to pluck and pack and
ship your own poultry or sell to ped
dlers"
"Why do you ask thatT'
Because if you prepare your own
poultry for shipment you will need an
extra man and also ice or cold storage.
Then the crates must be driven to
town. There's another thing you don't
seem to have thought of. Where in
cubatcrs are used Only sixty out or
every hundred chickens hatchcd live
beyond two or three days. You see.
the loss is almost half. We will now
add up the expenses and strike a bal

said Mr. Bowscr as he gla"cd at the
cat in Il way to make her shiver.
But don't you want to get at the
exact profits"

FRIENDS EXPERIENCE HIS PROFIT.
Severe Case of La Grippe Left Mr. Duncan Ross with Wea Back Swamp Roofs Virtues Sue
 ckssfully ested.

Mir Duncan Ross, proprietor of Ross s Barber Shop. under the Exchange Hotel. and one of the best and most widely known members of the tonsorial craft in Montgomery. had severe spell of Ia grip about six or eight weeks ago, which left him with a very weak back. from which he suffered constant pain. Friends told him of the wonderful curative prop critics possessed by Swamp Root, and he reluctantly gave 1t trial. The first two bottles relieved him entirely and he is today in good health. In speaking of the matter to a reporter of The Advertiser a few days ago, he told the following interesting story of his case:
 About six weeks ago 1 contracted severe case of la grip. which left me with a weak back, which not only gave me constant pain and annoyance, but prevented me from attending to my du- ties as proprietor of Rosss Barber Shop. Particularly was my back troublesome on Saturdays when I have to remain at the barber shop from early in the morning until midnight. For the past four or five weeks I have been unable to remain on duty at night. and, in consequence. not only lost cOnslderable business. but had to leave my shop fin charge of an assist ant.

MOORE SUES OUT WRIT.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Will
 Take Place Saturday.

A writ of habeas corpus for Joe Moore. convicted of being pickpocket was granted yesterday in the City Court. The argument for Moores release on the writ will he heard Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
 Moore was convicted as f1 accessory of John O'Neill who was caught in the act of picking pockets by Captain A. G. Forbes and turned over to the police during the Street Fair last October. Moore was arrested the following day in the Recorders Court room while O'Neill was on trial. He had been seen on Court Square with O'Neill few minutes before the latteR had made an attempt to pick the pockets of Captain Forbes. The evidence against him at bis trial in the City Court was largely circumstan- tial. The jury, however. thought 1t suf- ficiently convincing to bring In verdict of guilty. to which there was attached recommendation for mercy.
 The application for the writ of habeas corpus is based on the fact that O'Neill. since his conviction, has declared that Moore was gultless of any participation in hls crime.
 Both men were of the class who made their living at Street Fairs and other places where crowds gather.

''I read in The Advertiser several weeks ago a testimonial from my fellow tonso- rial artist. MT. C. II. Krueger. in which he spoke of having been cured of sim liar trouble by Swamp Root. l naturally concluded that if it cured MT. Krueger. who was similarly affected to myself. 1t would do as much for me. This fact. coupled with the importupities of my friends. persuaded me to try Swamp Root. I purchased bottle and before it was consumed. began to feel relief I have just completed the second bottle and feel much better. My back is strong CT and am able to attend to the regular routine of my business remaining just as long as necessary and will continue to take Swamp-Root until at least six bottles have been consumed.
