A Woman In The Chicken Yard.

The hens ought to be all through
Matching by now, excepting those which
have stolen their nests out in the fields
or under the bushes.
There are some hens that i'll steal
away and hatch "A nest full Of chicks.
AT first these little downins are so wild
and scary that l find the best way to get
them into the chicken yard and to a coop
is to catch the mother hen, put her into
a covered basket and she will
"cluck'' the babies all to her.
Keep the youngsters growing fast. A
good, big grass run is the best place in
which to raise a lot of young chickens,
An orchard is a fine place. Here they
can get all the animal food they need
and gravel and grit.

wheat and buckwheat ever before my

Fresh water is given them every morn
ing and noon time. The water fountains
should be scalded often to prevent slime
forming on the inside and germs from

Any woman, who has a home Of her
own in the country, can keep a few hens
proftably-if only to lay enough eggs
for her own family, but on a small farm
q woman ought have a house large
enough to house from 30 to 80 hens in
the winter time and from the sale Of
these hens eggs she ought to be able to
pay all Of their expenses. the extra feed
expenses connected with raising young
chickens until these chickens are old
enough to pay for themselves; and these
same hens ought to give the family
all the eggs and boilers and ste~ers fol

doing practically nothing but fish and
loaf. In SPITE Of that il Is n matter Of
common report that something always
turns up to benefit him just VIXEN he gets
III his last legs. He has one to look
on himself as especially favored of for
tune or VI luck, and this latest occurrence
has confirmed that idea. lie was fishing
the other day. and had such bad luck
that he lost all his lines and hooks by
getting tangled up with snags in the
stream, and was just going home. when
he saw a big carp that seemed to be
tangled up with ON brush. lie walled
in snd found that the fish was attached
to a piece Of line, and that this had in
some way become wrapped around a
snag. lie yos bold Of the line and pull
ed the fish in, and there was another
hook fastened in his mouth with about
Il feet Of fine line and eight hooks AND
six sinkers. He had plenty Of bait. W
he resumed his fishing. Did you ever

A Hopeless Case,


While Admiral Philip was In COM

ice under Philip, and of whom the
admiral was very fond. called to see
min in regard to his getting n nice.
easy job for him in his old age. The
old salt haG a list as long as his arm

government, any one of which he was
perfectly satisfied to receive. The list
began with page in the senate" and
ran the gantlet down to s'doorkeeper at
the White House" No other thought
entered the old tar's mind than that
the admiral could simply jot down a
couple of words ON piece Of paper
and the Job would belong to him, But
a light twinkled in Admiral Philips
eye as he said to the sailor with mock
gravity:
my lad, you are too modest. Your
record entities you to something bet

Democratic nomination for congress
