Chick and John again thanked the kind
beaver for all the favors they had re-
ceived, and then the king and his people
returned to their beautiful palace, and left
the gingerbread man and the cheerful
cherub and Para Bruin alone upon the
mountain top.

Mystic Thirteen Club.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There is nothing superstitious about Ed
ward H. Klaustermeyer and the twelve men
who have formed the Mystic Thirteen Club.
The president has thirteen letters in his
name, he has presided over thirteen or
CARNATIONS. the club meets on the 18Th of
the month and the dues are thirteen cents
q year.
For some years the food show committee
of the retail grocer's organization, Of which
Klaustermeyer is president. has been COM
posed of thirteen members. They have
stuck together through thick and thin, and
the most cordial relations have always
existed. After this year. however. several
have signifed their intention of dropping
off the committee
Fearing that pleasant relations might be
severed, the members got together recently
and decided to form a social organization
1t happened to be the 18th OF the month, SO
Klaustermeyer, who has thirteen letters 10
his own name, suggested that 1t be called
the Mystic Thirteen Club.

Now, everything is colors. The amateur Is

his homage? How can all these be faith
fully told in black and white?
1t Is not possible and so the Christmas
cards for 1906 riot in bewildering maze OF
colors. Some of them have TO go through
the press as many as half a dozen times to
get all the various shades and tints.
The result Is worth while. for the Christ

The price of the card ranges widely. They

This latter sum is rare and needless.
There are numerous pretty post card de-

BIG PROFITS IN CHICKENS.

we all know that there is big money
IN poultry. How much there is in it for
us, depends entirely upon ourselves and
whether or not we are keeping up with
the procession in raising the kind of
chickens which bring the most cash
and in getting them into the market at
time when the demand is greatest.
The value of poultry production for the
United States this season was but a
shade under that of wheat or cotton,
amounting to over half a billion dol,
lars. Since the perfection of the in

POULTRY FEEDING.
An Important Phase of the Chicken
Growing Industry.

Poultry feeding is sometimes a mos
serious problem to those who desire tc
make this line a speciality. Expert
ence has shown that there are certain
special lines Of agricultural operations
with which poultry raising may adj
vantageously be connected. In dairy.
ing there is usually large quantity
of skim milk or butter-milk which
may be utilized to furnish a consider
able part of the poultry ration. Upon
the fruit farm fowls are also Of ad.
vantage. They keep down insect pests
and they may have free range a
greater part Of the season without the
possibility of doing any damage. Plum
growers have found poultry especially
useful in oblterating the curculio, and
even the apple crop has been consid-
erably benefited. If it is found that
