Prolific Winter LAYERS.

Mrs. Ross Compton, near Grants
vile, Garrett county, has gathered 179
dozen of eggs from about go hens since
January last, from which she has
realized $500 in little less than three
months. The expense in feeding these
fine winter layers was not much felt,
as the Compton farm is one of the fin
est in the county. This ought to be an
inducement for some persons to en-
bark into the poultry and egg produc-
ton. But little capital is needed and
the labor light and easy. Some skill
and care are called for With Mrs.
Compton the business is almost a
science.

Never mind, this condition of life
will not last forever. There are pessi-
mists who live on the dark side of
things and who hunt misery with a
club every time they move. You can
never get any encouragement from
them, nor can they be cured. Shake
them and hunt up the sunny fellows.
There are plenty of them to be found
anywhere and they are worth their
weight in gold. The business situa-
ton is Frightening up all around;
prosperity has not deserted us and
life is worth the living
