SAD BUT LUCRATIVE.
Selling Cemetery Lots Is n Profitable
Business in the Larger
Cities.

at is no wonder that l dress in
black, for my business is the selling OF
cemetery lots. Is there anything in
the world more solemn"
The speaker, a fat man, lingering his
black tie, reported the Philadelphia
Record, resumed:
II don't believe I'd ever make a sale
if l wore gay, joyous colors. For most
of my patrons are people who have
suddenly lost a near relative-couples
that have lost their first child, mainly
and their grief is profound as they
conduct this grastly business of buy
ing graveyard ground, and it is my
place to jar on them as little as posi-
BILE. Hence l wear black and look grave.
my work is sad, but it is saddest Of
all when old couples-old, childless
couples-come to me to buy lots. A
couple are getting on in years. One
will soon be gone. 1t is necessary to
select a lot in time. They make their
selection with care, consulting one an
other wistfully. They consider the
view. 1t is best, they think, to be on
an eminence. They consider the sub
ject of shade. The fertility of the soil,
also, is an important question, for they
think that they will like flowers to
grow on their graves.
II admit" said the agent, "that l
make a good deal of money. People,
you know, are in no mood for driving
bargains when they come to buy their
graves, and I take advantage of that
fact. But my work is so sad that it
has to be very lucrative to keep me
at it,"

The Murderer's Cord,

In colonial Virginia it was not
murder to Stay ones slave, but a Just
judge condemned such a criminal to
wear n rope round his neck till death,
and present himself annually at the
courthouse to the inspection Of the
sheriff. What matter that the cord
was of silk and the condemned lived
at ease on his broad acres? He saw
himself pointed out wherever lie
went, and gradually he became u
hermit, praying for death and con
stantly declaring his punishment
was greater than he could bear

EARLY MATCHED CHICKS.
They Make the Best Winter Layers
and Are More Profitable in All
other Respects.

We find by experience that early
Matched chickens are always best.
We set our incubator early in April
and in November the pullets begin
to lay. In the latter part of the
summer pullets are as large as the
old hens. Early pullets make our
best winter layers, and the eggs
from them are much better for
Matching purposes than from late
Matched chicks. The eggs are larger,
with more vitality in them. They
will hatch a larger per cent. Of
chicks that will live and grow well,
than will eggs from late Matching.
A late Matched chick will never at
tain the size of an early one. The
early one gets it's full size while the
weather is warm and the forage is
abundant, but the late one has to
make the finish in the winter on dry
feed in confinement. Nothing grows
so well in confinement as when left
to run at will. Late Matched chickens
grow very nicely while they have a
chance to run, but winter m on
while they are yet growing and they
go into the house and stay rather
than wade in the snow. The change
is so sudden and unnatural that the
rapid growth stops and they become
stunted; never getting so large as
they would had they got their prop
er growth during warn weather. ]
believe If the plan of keeping late
Matched pullets for breeders was fol-.
lowed for a long term of years that
the fowls would become smaller from
year to year until they would become
Worthless.-Epitomist.

more a bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam

they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quatter the

There is so much in daily life to try
ones nerves and temper that it is not
always easy to preserve ones cheerful
ness. Moods are contagious; one I'M
happy person in a family without any
active effort can destroy the pleasure
of all the rest. We do not always re-
member this and so we give way to
causes for depression, and we do not
bear ourselves as bravely as we might
when things are going wrong with us,
1t is a good rule to keep ones troubles
in the background of life, in the back
ground of thought, bringing to the
front only that which is cheerful and
sunny.-Detroit Free Press.

POULTRY

An ounce of prevention is worth
several pounds of cure when it comes
to poultry diseases.
Cold quarters are bad enough for
the hens. With damp added to the
cold ruination is in sight.
Milk is worth more when fed to
hens than when fed to pigs. The
hens like it, sweet or sour.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
No one is a good feeder of his
poultry who does not supply both
meat and green feed to his fowls
regularly.
The song of the hen is not very
sweet, nor has it a wide range of
notes, but the good poultryman
never gets tired of it.
The love of corn cannot be bred
out, or fed out, or knocked out of
the hen. They just naturally know
it is one of the best grains fol
them.-Commercial Poultry.

SENATOR KEARNS' NERVE.
a bad Man and Made n Friend
of Him.

Senator kearns, of Utah, is one OF
the best all-around fighters in the sem
ate" said one of his constituents at the
New Willard to a representative of
the Washington Star. "0ut west in
many localities all that is necessary to
establish a case of self-defense in a
shooting is to prove that word was
left at two or three places that there
would be shooting on sight. This is
fair notice all around, and no court
ever goes into the original trouble.
Tom Kearns never went armed, never
Intentionally gave any p~rovocation,
but he would not take any nonsense.
Once when he was unarmed he pound
ed a man up a little, after pulling him
off his horse, just because the man
tried to pull a gun on him, and got it
caught in his boot leg.
Probably his most exciting expert
ence occurred at his own home, Park
City, Utah. He dropped irto the Red
Wing bar one morning to get some
seltzer-the kind they drink there
and was told that a bad man with
three killings to his credit had left
word that he would kill him on sight
The barkeep' asked him if he had a
gun, and receiving a negative reply,
suggested that he had better get one

hand on the side of his face rejecting

"'Are you ready for business?
came from the bad man, not 20 fee
away.
SIT was a critical moment. There
was not a weapon in sight, and il
looked like sure death. Tom began
an argument with the man:
"'I have never willingly injured you
] do not want to kill you, and why dc
you want to take chances on one OF
the other of us getting killed?' he
asked. AS he talked he warmed up tc
the subject and gradually approached
the bad nan until he was within sever
feet of him. The man suddenly
recognized this, and ordered him tc
take not one step further. A little
more parley in which the bad man be-
came interested gave him a chance tc
gain two feet more. Taking his
chances on surprising him before he
could shoot through his pocket he
made a spring, struck the mar a ter
ing him to the floor, and before he
could recover from his surprise hat
him unarmed. He then calmly kicked
him out of the back door and down &
fight of ten steps.
"'You have killed him. exclaimed
the barkeep'.
"'Oh, no, l haven't; he is all right,
replied Tom. Give me one of those
r%eyolvers.' Taking the gun he went
to the man and said: Get up here ano
come in and take a drink; it will dc
you good The man refused. Get uI
here and take something with me OIL
] will kill you,' was the threat needed
to bring the bad man to time. He SAID
nothing, but limpingly entered and
stood up at the bar. Now, shake
hands first and say you are my friend,
said Tom, and the man did so. That
man is Tom Kearns' best friend il

constituent, land that is the kind Of
experience our strong men had to &c
through a few years ago in some Of

nests may be covered with one wide
board running full length. Or if II

of each. nest may be hung with hinges
at points 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Leather makes
a good hinge. At point G place a
board upright wide enough to make

made of lath, and should extend from
L to N, and IA inches wide, giving each
hen a separate in%closure, excluding all
i%ntruders. These Stat covers slip un-
der board L and board n. As soon as
a hen wishes to sit, place her at night
OF eggs in one of these nests, fastening
her in securely with board at c c, max
ing the pen quite dark, and let her
remain until feeding till toward night
the next day. Then let her out into
the runway to eat ard drink. She will
return to nest and require no more
care. The earth in the runways should
be loose and a few ashes thrown in,
that the hen may have her required
dust-bath. 1t is best to fill the entire
IL nests at one time, or half of them
at least. When my flock is small, and

- broods to three or four hens, and
reset the hens, if they seem healthy
and not needing rest. l use tomato
cans fastened securely in corner of

be made larger or smaller, as ones
needs demand. Last year I Matched

ton was practiced, amounted in value,
