STARTING A FLOCK.
Should the Beginner Buy Breeding
Pen or Eggs for Hatchlng.

Should the Beginner Buy a Breeding
Pen or Eggs for Hatehlns.
While attending the Maine State
Poultry Exhibition, l was asked by
man who was contemplating starting
a flock in the spring which was the
better way-to buy breeding pen or
to buy eggs for Matching. This ques-
ton is puzzling a good many at this
time. There are points in favor Of
each course.
To get start either way with birds
of reasonably good quality one should
consider that he must invest at least
$40. He can spend this and get two
sittings of eggs from prize winning
stock, and if he waits until the stock
is on range he should be reasonably
sure of sixteen chicks. These chicks
with proper care and feeding, would
most likely develop into birds super
ior to any he might get from a $40
trio, for the mating would doubtless
be better done by an amateur. In
many cases the surplus males would
be of quality to sell for sufficient to
pay the initial cost of eggs. Before
beginning with any breed one should
make a sufficient study Of his chosen
breed to be able to Judge with reason
able accuracy Of the merits and value
of his birds, so as to sell understand
ingly.
For beginning with little money
to spend 1t would seem safer to pur'
chase a trio or more of good, repre-
sentative birds, and grow into the
fancier step by step by selection and
grading up. In this way he will bet
ter understand his business, and from
a small flock, by buying other hens fol
brooders and prolonging his Matching
season, he can raise considerable
number Of chicks, some Of which
should be superior to their sires anC
dams, which can be used for still fur
ther improvement the following year

a Reasonable CHARGE,

"a tourist in Georgia stopped over
night at the Palace hotel, in a little
village, and expressed a desire to taste
Georgia possum," said Henry S.
Weaver of Atlanta, Ga. "The whole
possum, cooked in genuine Georgia
style, with taters on the side, was
placed before him.
1.-TWO dollars extra for the possum,
SAID the landlord when the guest came
to settle.
"It's an outrage said the guest.
"It's 'cordin' to the way you look
at 1t, stranger said the landlord, but
it took me six nights swamp wadin'
to ketch that possum, an when
kotched him I kotched the rheuma'
tism with him. '"-Washington Times.

A Comfortable Seat.

A certain stately, middle-aged lady
has the habit of adding on to her SEN
tences phrases out of their natural or

flying her hearers. Recently she was
greatly surprised to have the follow
ing simple statement of hers greeted
with shouts of laughter: when l ar
rived at the house, there was The
minister sitting on a chair and three

Mean People.

Henry Russell, the head Of the Bos-
ton Opera, was describing his foreign
tour in search Of talent
"They were mean people," he said
of the singers Of a certain city. II
could do no business with them. They
thought only Of money"
Mr.. Russell smiled.
""They were as bad as the man who
discovered the Blank theater fire.
"The first int1mation the box Office
had Of this fire came at the end Of the
third act from a fat man who bounded
down the gallery stairs, stuck his face
IN at the ticket window and shouted
breathlessly:
"'Theater's afire! Gimme me money
tack!"

Their Latest Game,

A busy mother who was distracted
by the noise in the nursery FASTENED
to the room and said to her little
daughter:
Minnie, what do you mean by
shouting and screaming? Play quiet
ly, like Tommy. See, he doesn't
make a sound"
"Of course he doesn't" said the lit
tie girl. That is our game. He is
papa coming home late, and am you."

Too True.

mo one understands mel" he groan-

1t is the old story wrung from many
a tortured, youthful heart. The suffer
er is generally mistaken, but the pain
is no less poignant. Yet in this in
stance the mans complaint was true.
Nobody on earth could understand
him.
For he was an announcer of trains
at the Union Depot.

The allimportant thing in beet
growing is good seed. In selecting
mother beets-that is, beets from
which seeds are to be grown, the great
est care must be taken to pick out
only perfect and typical types. They
must conform to many requirements.
They must not be too large, or the
sugar contents will be too low. They
must not be too small, since small
beets are not profitable.
They mustn't have divided tap root
