ABOUT POULTRY PROFITS.
why Lazy Man Makes a Poor
Chicken Raiser.

Chicken Raiser.
No business Is better than the poul-
try business provided 1t is conducted
in q business-like manner, Maybe 1t
is so that anybody can raise poul-
try" but It is not so that everybody
can raise them successfully or prof
itably. Yes, there's money in polu-
try, but a good many people can't
get 1t out.
A lazy man makes a poor poultry
man. So does the man who has fall
ed at everything else and takes up
poultry keeping because 1t Is easy"
The person who thinks poultry
breeding for profit is soft snap, and
who has some money to lose, only
need to invest it in poultry.
The most successful poultry men
are those who give their own person
al supervision to the business; super
intendents and general managers
must occupy a subordinate station.
The road to success in poultry keep
ing, which reaches the goal of profit,
Is not all smooth and level. When
the road is most difficult, the owner
himself must drive, for personal OBJ
servation Is necessary to avoid rocks
that wreck.

Cicero All At Sea,

The gigantic steamship had faced
easterly gales all the way across the
Atlantic, and thu were uneasy bel

II wonder whether we shall ever

tan, promenadins the hurricane-deck.

SCARED BY BATTLE IN CLOUDS.
Sham Sight of Troops, Reproduced In
Mirage, Frightened Villagers.

Mirage, Frightened villagers.
Heidelberg.-A terrifying pheno-
menon in the heavens recently alarm
ed the superstitious villagers of Dorz-
bach and Oberunzbach, on the from
tier of Baden and Wurtemberg. In
the clouds, just before 10 o'clock in
the forenoon, there appeared bright
red streak, on which could be plainly
seen a landscape, with fields, streams
and woods, among which two bodies
of troops in battle formation were ad-
vancing toward each other, firing vol
leys. The pufrs of smoke were clearly
visible.
Half an hour later the picture sud
denly disappeared. but the excitement
and fear aroused among the villagers
lasted until next morning, when the
explanation appeared in the newspa-
pers Of the district that sham fight
had been held by the garrison of Mer-
thentheiIn. some twenty miles dis
taat. and had caused the mirage.

the other great facts and occurrences
of recent years were matters Of which
he was ignorant.
This hiatus in the life of Courtney
arises from the fact that in the last
fifteen years he has been lost to the
world on the desert of Nevada and
Arizona. He was recluse and did
not see a book or newspaper during
the entire period.
And 'ow is the Queen?" was one
of his first questions.
Roosevelt? ROOSEVELT" he said
to a query. "Never card the name
before. And who is 'e?"

ings, although he was known to have
accumulated a small sum in gold.
Recently his body was moved by
the parish authorities to another
grave, his son being present at the
transference. When the remains were
exposed he was astonished to see a
little pile of gold coins lying among
the bones. They were the dead mans
savings, amounting to $1S5, which he
had swallowed to prevent his family,
with whom he was on bad terms, get
ting hold of them.

Keep Hens at Work.

We see that the hens take the
proper exercise, writes poultry
man. Our houses are large and COM
Portable, built on the scratching
shed plan. We never overcrowd the
flocks, and as the scratching shed Is
always heavily Uttered there Is no
trouble to keep the hens at work.
Twice a day-noon and night-the
grain is thrown among this litter
and the fowls are compelled to
scratch. Good vigorous exercise is
highly important for good, strong
fertility.

An Irishman and Scotchman were

SunhoWer Seed.

Sunfiower seeds are very valua-
BILE feed for fowls. They are the
best egg-producing food known, and
are also very warming, as they con-
tain a large quantity of vegetable

heavily, or they will cause the fowls
to lose their feathers. Twice a week
is sufficient.

nisnnse of the Stalks.

1t Is a good thing to get stalks out
OF the way as soon as possible and
begin disking, but don't get in a
hurry and start plowing until the
ground Is dry and has settled. A
pieoe Of ground turned up in the
spring wet, is hard to handle all
through the season.

port and is looking for an English

The name of Theodore Roosevelt

rumors came to him along in 1898
