amounts. After a location is settled
upon free range is a necessity. That
gives the needed exercise. and prevents
an accumulation of lice. The next
thing is an adaptability to the bust
ness. If one cannot be content with
small earnings, and cannot save them
as they come in. he should not under
take the business. The poultry should

pruning is intended chiefly for nm

ALONE WITH HIS THOUGHTS.

Heart-weary of the world and OF it's ways.
He longed to dwell apart, alone, some
where
To leave behind the greed of power. the
craze
For riches and the parvenus displays
He longed to find some calm retreat, and
there.
Alone with his high thoughts pass all
his days
He found, at last, the place he long had
sought
Where rivalry and greed and want were
not,
And there, alone. far from the noise, he
tried
To win the sweet contcntment he had
thought
To gam in dwelling where no other spoke
And where no fools with one another
We'd.
But. lonely, bowed ere long his sad heart
broke.
And on his way bao, to mems houut-
he died
The world spun as before men hurried ON
And never cared nor knew that he was
gone.

In every art she loves TO try
Her neghbors TO surpass.

To broider and 90 paint.

And she can tell of what was done

Such admiration does she claim
