PROFITABLE RANCH
FlQureS Won't Lie, But Liars VIII
Figure

We have had in this county of ours
chicken raisers, strawberry growers
and people with a pencil and a pad of
paper. The Chicago Record Herald
breaks forth in vision Of easy money
after this manner.
while hordes Of misguided youth
were rushing to the cities Mr.. Frank
NJ. Newbert bought little tract of 81
acres Just outside Sacramento an d
made a home there for himself and a
colony of white leghorns. The white
leghorns multiplied rapidly. He has
800 of them now, and expects to keep
the colony at about | 200.
1t is calculated that hen will pro-
duce 81 per year above the cost OF feed
ing from the sale of chickens and eggs
for consumption. A large extra profit
to be had when eggs are sold for hatch
ing and fine fowls for breeding. Sup
pose we put the yearly net income from
Mr.. Newbert's leghorns at 81, 500.
But the hens are not his only source
of profit. He put in one and one-hali
acres to phenomenal berries and mar
keted LOO crates last season at ~
cents crate. Deducting expenses OF
picking, Grating and delivery, Their
was a profit Of $50 on the acre and q
half. and the chickens had the grounC
to run on most of the time.
Specifications as to each remaining
parcel of land are lacking. except thai
We are told Of an alfalfa patch I h a
furnishes green food for the flock
But let us stop with the two sources o
wealth. They give s2,S2O, and a livinl
on fine broilers, fruits and vegetables
We have only TO deduct the wages o
Jap at $50 a month. Take $3.50 fron
81, 329 and we have 81 $3.50. Remembe
also that Mr.. Newbert can take da.
of whenever he feels so disposed an,
that il he devolyed all the labor on w,
Japs he would have 81. GOO clear cash.
So much for six acres. With twely
acres and four Japs there wou d b.
200 at the end OF the year. Unfor
tunately the price Of the land is no
given by our authority. but $3.50
ought to pay for twelve acres. Borrow
the money, get il out Of one year
crops and spend the succeeding summe
in an automobile tour. Orif you wan
to expand and zee the world in goo.
style, buy another twelve acres an
jump the income TO 81. 400.
Your little ranch will then consist q
only twenty-four acres. and il will b
the safest thing in the world II 20
keep right on farming on paper. Br
II you actually invest in .wenty-fou
; acres you may wake up like the bal
ber's brother in the Arabian Night
who thrust out his foot in the pride q
imaginary riches and smashed his e.
tire stock Of glassware.
We should add that this moral is NJ
intended to discredit the interestin
story about Mr.. Newbert or any 9th,
story concerning the sudden and violer
acquisition Of wealth from chickens
berries, prunes ororanges. There al
well authenticated accounts Of ric
returns TO skilled chicken raiscrs, hort
culturists and orchardists. But Il ma
not be a miss TO say that the skill
seldom learned In cities.

XXVIll-THE BEARS GO FISHING
Copyright 1905 BY Seymour Eaton AN rights reserved

When the Roosevelt Bears had paid their fin
For the mischief done and the monkey shine,
They said goodbye TO the big giraffe ~
And told him his neck was too long by half;
And asked the time it took his food
To reach his body from where he chewedj
And why he held his head 80 high,
And the size Of collars he had to buy,
And why he was neither round nor square;
But the old giraffe didn = seem to care,
He wagged his tail and winked his eye
And nodded his head to say goodbye.
When sAey quit she Zoo and got outside,
'tIet us take train for little ride;D
I'm tired Of town and want to see
A farm or STREAM" said TEDDY-B.
So train they took without the fare,
For where It went they didn't cara.
When "Tickets, please, - the conductor said,
TEDDY-G began to scratch his head
And to think up names Of towns he knew
Like Hoboken and Kalamazoo,
But when 'tTickets, please,'' he said again,
TEDDY-G got busy with ten
And said, '@Take this for your railway pay
And stop the train some time today
Where fshing's good If you go that way"
The conductor asked them questions strange
About their plans as he gave them change
And slips Of paper with holes punched thru
He said fishing stream he hewI Ill.,.
He'd stop the train, at any rate,
And show them where to buy some bait
And fishing poles and hook and line
And a jolly inn to sleep and dine.
They reached the place that day at two,
And said goodbye to the railroad crew,
And went by path up mountain ridge
AS the train went on across bridge.
They found the place and got fitted out
With six poles apiece both long and stout,
And bait enough and lines and hooks
To fish year in dozen brooks.
For said TEDDY-G, eff fshing's play
Then I want enough for I mean to stay
Right by the game for at least week
Until every fish that's in the creek
Is caught and cleaned and cooked and ate
Or cut up in pieces to use for bait."
So down their rods and lines they took
To the stream below to try their luck.
OF all the fishing that was ever done
By Izaak Walton or his eldest son
OF by boys who fish with pins. for hooks
That we read about in the picture books,
or FOR salmon trout which weighs ton
!. That they say are caught in Oregon,
or for shad in the River Delaware, =
Or FOR pike or black bass anywhere,
The fish that day caught by the Bears
Would take first prizes at all the fairs:
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-07-15

And what athletics were an about,
And where figures 60 when you rub them out,
And why the moon isn't always round,
And the difference between noise and sound,
And on fence, how long twould take
To rest an hour or dinner bake
And how things inside the earth were dons,
But the lad oouldn' t answer single one.
Said Teddy-G: "n it doesn't rain,
And you IL tell US where to get train
And the fare to pay and how long the run
From the place you name to Washington,
And your age and weight and greatest height,
And two bears you know that never bite,
III give you dollar, quick as wink,
And let you have 1t before you think" -
Tho he never learned this dollar trick
The lad was bright and he answered quick,
And they said goodbye and it didn't rain
Till they stepped on board their Pullman train.
Said TEDDY-G; as he Lit his pipe
8 And bought some apples, red and ripa
And settled down in an easy seat

Clover "A Good Food.
I have heard and experienced tina
charcoal is highly beneficial if used fol
fattening either ducks or fowls, but Il
has only recently come to my knowl
edge that beer is a splendid agency il
the same cause. Nevertheless it is so
says A. V. AIeersch in Western Poultry
Journal If you want to fatten your
ducks or duckllngs speedily and mex
pensively, mix their meal with stale
4 beer; also give them some brewers
! grain if possible and avoid giving so
much fat or grease. You will be aston
ished at the result. The fattening is
accomplished in a much quicker space
Of time, one great feature being the
absence Of an oyerabundant fat-i. e.,
ssuper1uous yellow fat which is the di-
rect consequence of fattening with
greasy substances. The malt in the
beer produces flesh pure and simple,
also weight the two great aims Of the
T fattener Flesh weighs heavier than
fat, and ducks fattened on beer weigh
half as much again as those fattened
on other Ingredients. There need be
no apprehension regarding the flavor.
Not even the stanchest or most rigid
abstainer could detect evidence of beer
unnatural BY stale beer Of course I
do not mean moldy or sour beer. but
any left in Jugs or glasses from the
dinner or supper table. the dregs Of
bottled beer, etc Neither need there
be any cause of alarm aneEt the color
have had whittier flesh fattened this
way than any other. earnestly rec
ommend the method, knowing it will
give entire satisfaction upon expert
ment.
Clover is an admirable food for fowls. !
and this is easily understood when it |
is considered thaf 100 pounds Of dried |
clover leaves contain eleven pounds of /
protein and sufficient lime to form the |
shells of 200 eggs. A fowl breeder on |
a large scale told us lately that since he |
began to give his fowls green clover in
summer and dried clover leaves il
winter they have passed much better
through the molting time and that he
las had many more eggs; that his
-oung birds get their feathers much
quicker and form big strong ones. In
summer he cuts the green clover up in
o bits Of about an inch and gives a
handful to every five fowls. To get a
upply for winter use he informs the
writer that he cuts the clover when it
,egins to flower, dries it well in the
un, packs it in bags and stores it in Il
ry barn. Then he takes quantities as
equired. dries In the oven and rubs
he leaves in his hands into fine pieces.
The powdered leaves are then scalded
r boiled and about a handful for every

ally food. The results of this system
re so favorable that he says that he

Tho has tried it will ever again aban-

Remedy For Pin.

A barbarous practice or habit which
one should combat in every way is
that which consists in mutilating fowls
when they are considered to Ia suf-
fering with pip. We repeat it, as soon
as one remarks that the hen does not
drink it is considered to be afflicted
with pip. The white horny substance
at the point Of the tongue is a species
of nail given by nature to the hen to
enable it to pick up the grains and
seed from the ground, while pip is
caused by liberated bones in the
throat The disease can be easily
cured with a bit of butter the size Of
a nut and a bit Of aloes the size Of
Il pea. Make pill with the aloes and
butter and put it down the hens
throat. In an hour the hen will be
cured.-American Poultry Journal.
