The Boy on the Farm.

The farm boy is the future farmer
and the potential general, senator and
president. says the Kansas Farmer.
He helps to build the farms and
homes of the countryside with little
reward, except his hope of inheritance.
He has practical knowledge, but small
financial interest. His. business sense
Is undeveloped his responsibilities
minimized and his servitude prolong-
ed, and yet he is a newer and better
edition of his sire whose burdens he
must bear.
Fortune gives much to many, but
never enough to any. and the parent
can well learn that wisdom Is often
nearer him when he stops to consid-
er the boy than when he scars to larg.
er things. Boy culture is better than
a baby beef and his training than a
multitude Of harvests.
Evil Is wrought by want of thought
when not by want Of heart.

SELLING EGGS AND POULTRY
Market Side Of Business Would Re-
quIre at Least Twenty Acres
Of Land and Big Flock.

II takes time and patience to get
q good market for eggs and select
stock would not sell to dealers, as
better prices can be secured by SELL
Ing direct to consumers, writes q. A.
Berg of Chesterton. Ind, In the Chi.
cago Daily News. To 20 into the
chicken business and cater only to
the market side would require the
handling Of more stock and q larger
area than would be required In cater.
Ing to the fancy side Of the business.
The demand for standard bred stock
with certain requirements, fowl with
plenty Of meat and one that lays the
winter eggs. is exceptionally good
and also surprising.
In the fancy line poultry beginners
are demanding a fowl that is q good
winter layer. as the winter eggs
bring in the most profits. My expe.
r1ence Is. In selling fancy stock, that
the demand is greater than the sup.
ply.
There Is good profit in the chick
en- business the securing of which
depends on q mans perseverance, and
patience. The market side Of the
business would require at least 20
acres Of land and 600 to 800 birds
kept A net profit Of $1,000 to $1,000
should be made year. No profits OF
this size can be figured >on until the
third year, and man to make an
exclusive business Of 1t would require
enough to live on through the first
year.
It isn't 30 much the capital you
have to invest as 1t Is what is In
you to make success. In going in
the fancy business much depends on
the stock started with. As a side
line you will find It a good paying
proposition.
Begin small, learn all the details
and then gradually increase.
The chicken business is the same
as any other business that pays-it
takes time. Most failures are from
beginning too large before a thor
ough understanding of all the small
details is secured.

eIissful Ignorance.

Holden, the New York birdman,
lately had in his shop taciturn par
rot. Day after day it sat silent on
its perch, Indifferent to every ques-
tion. At last Cuban lady came into
the shop and spoke to it in her native
tongue. The parrot frightened up at
once, opened its beak and emitted a
jubilant volley of vehement Spanish
words. When the parrot finally
ceased speaking, the lady turned to
Mr.. Holden and blushing violently
asked:
"Do you understand SPANISH"
"No," he replied.
"Thank God!" she replied, and left
the shop.-Success.
