Profit from sprfnu Chicken,

Spring chickens might be made a,
much more profitable source Of moons
on the farm If more attention We're paid
to raising them. 1t is just as important
that good start be made in forcing
the Matching season as in early garden
vegetables. There is always a good
market demand for the surplus at strong
prices. The profit on early chickens
should encourage the use OF incubators
as soon as good eggs can be procured.
Then the chicks should be cared for
and forced as rapidly as possible II
pays much better to raise early chicks
at 80 or 40 cents pound than later ones
at eight or ten cents.-Prairie Farmer.

A little Germantown girl went into

glimpse of a remarkably thin woman

A Cheap rence for Duclx.

AS large ducks do not attempt TO ny
over low fence, an excellent mode Of
making a cheap fence for ducks is to
take two pieces of scantling one by three
inches. known as shingling-lath, and
saw as many laths in half as may be
desired. The sawed laths will be two
feet long. Nail them to the scantling.
the laths being two inches apart. Let
the ends Of the lath extend three inches
above and below the scantling, which
brings the scantling about foot apart.
You will then have a panel that can be
fastened to short posts. A fence two
feet high is sufficient to cone PskiA
ducks.-Farm and Fireside.
