LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
Making a Man

Hurry the baby as fast as you can,
Hurry him, worry him, make him
a man.
Off with his baby clothes, get him
in pants,
Feed him on brain food and make
him advance.
Hustle him soon as he's able to
walk,
Into grammer school; cram him
with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures
and facts,
Keep on a-jumping them in till it
cracks.
Once boys grew up at rational
rate,
Now we develope a man while you
wait.
Rush him thru college, compel him
to grab
Of every known subject a dip and
dab.
Get him in business and after the
cash,
All by the time he can grow a MUS
tasche.
Let him forget he was ever a boy,
Make gold his god, and its jingle
his joy.
Keep him a-hustling and clear out
of breath,
Until he wins-nervous prostration
and death.

Jottings of the Poultry Yard.

In killing fowls, take them away from the rest of the flock so as not to frighten them.
 Oats are a great growing and fat tening food. They are also valuable as an egg former.
 When feeding poultry, never, un- der any circumstances, keep feed before the fowls constantly.
 When they can have plenty of range, as on the farm, guineas can be raised with very little trouble.
 Wash dirty eggs as soon as gath cred, as otherwise the contents will be tainted by absorption through the porous shells.
 It is not wise to confne ducks or geese in close quarters for any length of tune. They will most likely become droopy.
 It is impossible to make good fowls of poorly-fed and badly man. aged chickens. 1t is economy to feed well at all times.
 Feeding too much red pepper or any other stimulants to make the hens lay will cause inflammation of the digestive tract and other organs. If you let lice get a start on your place you will find it mighty hard job to get control of them. It is always best to keep them down at all times.
 The largest fowls are not always the most vigorous ones in the flock hut the ones with full, bright eyes heavy bone, compact body and quick movement.
 The best stock is the cheapest il the poultry business as well as 1T other lines of stock breeding Therefore, never buy anything bu the best and never sell the best.
 Where even single rat is allowed to remain around the poultry guar ters, loss of young poultry will oc eur. Measures should be taken t keep the rats down as mu,h as pos sible. w. F. Purdue in Farm ant Ranch.
 I,inseed meal is useful for poultr in the same manner as for stock. l smooths the coat of the horse an' briphtens the plumage of birds. also regulates the bowels and pro notes digestion. It should never D fed too highly. as this may cause tn hens to moult out of season.

Poultry Exceeds Farm Products.

According to statistics com- piled by the Missouri Bureau of Labor for 1908, Bates county sold poultry to to the amount of $907,- 997, while all the other products of the farm, not including live stock, reached $721,5 In oth. CT words poultry netted SS6, 4S9 more than ,all the hay, corn, oats flax, wheat in Bates. And yet there are some who belittle the "chicken business.
 But Vernon did even better than that. The surplus poultry products of Vernon county for 1908, netted $S22, 7S4. while all the rest of the farm crops added up $750, 400, difference Jf $l72,- 384.
 As the poultry queen of the Union Missouri, through her IA counties, placed on the market in 1908, farm yard products to the value of $44, 900, ,973, which is an increase iu value over the pre- ceeding year, which was a rec ord breaker, of $94, 526. Pettis county has the honor of ranking first with valuation of $2,26l, ,- l 200.
 For 1908 the poultry products of Missouri were worth nearly twice as much as all the silver mined in the United States.
 The poultry industry has be- come such an important factor in the commercial life of Missouri that the State University at Col umbia has added special course of study on poultry raising. At coming exhibit of the Bor- der Poultry Show Association te
 be held at Hume, January anf s. 1910, the State Poultry Bosrt will conduct an institute. Ex perts in the poultry business vii be here to address the people on all tbe phases of this important subject. No one who is in any interested inl poultry raising should mss 1t.

STATE TEACHERS MEETING
Hot Springs, December 28, 29. 30- Famous Address Gettysburg"
 By Mrs. General Pickett

The complete program for the
 Arkansas State Teachers Associ-
 ation, Forty-Second Annual Meet.
 ing, at Hot Springs, December 2S, 29 and 30, is being circulated
 and, in addition to the several
 features already announced, the program includes the name of Mrs. General Pickett.
 Mrs. Pickett is the widow of the famous Confederate General and her address on the great bat tie of Gettysburg, in which her husband took such a prominent part, is one of the thrilling mas terpices of American Literature. Dr. Elliot has asked that this ad- dress be incluced in his noted ''Five.Feet of Literature".
 This splendid address is greatly enhanced by the graphic rendi- tion ot the same by this wonder full lecturer and authoress, whose romantic marriage to General George E. Pickett followed shortly after the battle of Gettys- burg, and whose fidelity to his wishes have led her to refuse Sl0,000 for the manuscript con- taining the criticisms of certain ofncers during the great battle, i which were reported to General Lee by General Pickett, but never given publicity at the request of General Lee.
 A railroad rate of one fare for the round trip has been granted l and greatly reduced rates are offered the teachers by the hotels, boarding houses and rooming houses at Hot Springs. A regis tered attendance of l,500 is ex- pected.
