And Henry" exclaimed the equally
enthusiastic Mrs. Bleevehall we must
join the Country Club. Their links are
right across the street. and we'll know
lot of nice folks and the exercise will
do us both lot of good
5 "Of course" said Henry, but, my
dear, please don't say street-say road"
In the meantime the hen had been
laying every other day instead of every
day, according to schedule. but Bleeve-
hall was equal to finding cause for
rejoicing even in that and declared that
the chickens would be all the more
rugged.
The neighbors were good to them.
When Henry outlined his poultry plans
to the men on the next place the neigh
Dor asked what sort of a rooster he
had.
why, we didn't think we'd get a
rooster right away, was the reply.
by and by we expect to have roosters
and incubators and probably a few
ducks, but at the outset we just want
the few chickens our hen is going to
hatch. She's laid four eggs already"
Better eat those eggs, neighbor."
said his friend, "and then buy a rooster.
or I'll lend you one"
For a moment Henry felt resentful
toward the Agricultural Department,
fol- it had never suggested the desira-
bility of rooster. However, the
Bleevehalls bought a rooster and then,
still on the advice of the neighbor. they
bought nine more hens, thereby depict

when they got the horse she could get

they had had the first one for break

that they didn't really know what eggs

the barn. It wouldn't do to take just
one pair to market, and, besides, the
new poultryman wanted to know If the
meat of his squads was everything in
texture and flavor that the Government
had said that 1t should be, so that he
could conduct the business intelligently
later on. SO he hired boy on the next
farm to kill and dress the squads, and
they had them for dinner. The other
fellows at the Office heard all about that
too, the next day, and they could hardly
believe that 1t was the same Henry

them that he had some inside infornna-

Among the different weapons used for
duels, pistols are the most common,
since the recent proposal of a we'll
known sportsman who suggested to
fight with braces and bits leach op-
ponent wearing q board on his chest)
was not successful.
AS a rule, Frenchmen who do not
know the art of fencing choose pistols
when honor demands a duel. A week
before the encounter they go TO M. Gas
Time Renette. the celebrated expert
and maker of armes de luxe, and shoot a
few hundred cartridges at a target
These people forget that they will be
quite disconnected by the raising of
their opponents arm TO fire. On the
field emotion shakes their arm and
they miss their adversary. In order to
train these duelists DR.. Devillers. a
well known personality in sporting cir
cles, started a society called Il Assault
au Pistolet," the object of which is to
train its members in view Of an even
tual duel.
The bullets are round, black, made
of wax. and have an initial speed Of
ninety FIVE yards pcv second. They are
quite harmless, and some of these ap-
prentice duelists do not even wear the
black coat The pistols used are or
binary ones; the only alteration con-
sists in a small shield which protects
the trigger. DR.. Devillers told me his
society counted more than 100 members
among whom are the best shots of
France. They meet every Friday in the
Champs -Elysee.

ment which mentioned a good barn and
q big hen run on a southeast slope at
tracted them.
We've got to have a barn, because
Wen have to have a horse to get the
eggs and poultry to market, and it may
be better to have the barn all ready
instead of building one. although I
have some very good ideas as to how
a barn should be properly constructed"
mused Henry.
He had been stocking up with free
pamphlets from the Agricultural De-
partment, and by careful reading on
the train had acquired information on
everything from the chemical constit-
uents of the best fodder to the best
sort Of timber to grow for the railroad
ties of the future. AS a matter of fact
squads and poultry had already sunk
10 the insignifcance of by-products in
the agricultural dreams of the Bleeve-
halls, and when = friend at the office
who couldn't keep up with Henrys
jumps from fad to fad asked him one
morning kindly how the market was
doing he, forgetful of the existence of
stocks and bonds, remarked sagely that
visible wheat was scarce and that the
berry crop was poor because of ex-
cessive rains.
Later on, when Henry owned his first
bag of wheat, visible or otherwise, and
a bag of bran, he labeled each so that
he wouldn't mistake one for the other.
He did know berries when he saw
them, and so did Mrs. Bleevehall, and
size pictured herself in the patch that
was to produce at the rate of 5000
quarts to the acre after Henry brought
home the bulletin. 'How the Wife May
Double the Farm Income With the
strawberry Bed"
BY careful saving of the next three
weeks salary they wound up the city
grocery, meat. gas and telephone bills
and had enough left over TO move to
the place with the barn and the hen
run. Henry borrowed enough for the
first months commutation and for the
initial pair of pigeons and the broody
nen.
1--WE must begin gradually" re-
marked Henry as he gazed at the lone
hen. 1T is of course too late now
to raise our own wheat this year or
start the strawberry patch"
Having read much about the advan-
tage of pure bred fowl the Bleevehalls
decided that they would let their hen
lay her own eggs to hatch instead of
running the risk Of buying some out
side.
