a SLICK FOXY TRICK.

Ten roosters sat high in a tree
AS safe and coZy as could be.
They kissed good night and went to sleep,
While peace reigned in the forest deep.
A big fox waited down below
To nab those roosters In row.
ALAS" he cried. ''the games no go. ys
Because they love each other so!''
Then that sly fox let out snore
That made the very forest roar.
A rooster. wakened In his fright.
Yelled at another to his right:
'Cut out that snore, you awful borel 4
II you shoot off your snoot horn moro
I'll give you such an awful lick
You'll turn into feather tick!"
An argument at once arose.
And those ten rOoSters came to blOws.
They battled in that tall treetOp,
And all fell down to earth kerflOp.
And foxy gobbled all the ten
And bore them to his hidden den.
Where In his cave amid the stones
We're stacks on stacks of chicken bones.
Thus that old demon, slick Old Nick,
Works humans with this foxy trick.
He promotes, referees each bout,
Then gives to each slick knockout.

more gradually. allowing them to suck
once or twice a day before they are
taken away entirely When the colt

BEST TIME TO BUY STOCK.

BEST TIME TO BUY STOCK.
It's often a puzzzler for beginner
to know when to buy stock-when it's
high or low and at its best.
Old birds are cheapest at the end OF
the breeding season. They are of lit
tie profit for eggs from then on till
after molt Molt puts them out of
condition for sale, and their room is
needed for youngsters.
Don't buy breeders in mott
They are without full plumage, don't
show their real shape and spirit, and
you can't tell whether you are getting
a square deal on color, for bird per-
feet in color before in mott will some
times go bad
AS winter approaches fowls are high
er because scarcer, and eggs sell high.
In spring they are highest because Of
breeding season.
Buying in molt, you may lose some,
as feather forming is strain. Buy
ing in winter, colds contracted in ship
ping may bring roup.
Young stock. hatched from March to
May, is fully matured in the fall,
cheap and plentiful, especially males.
In buying at shows remember many
particolored fowls are bred for exhi-
bition by double mating and thus can
not breed their like
1t is the best policy to visit your
dealer, select your birds, pay in ad-
vance and take them right home with
you unless you are sure that, like the
famous George. he never told a lie. +.

Good Breeding at Low Cost.

The cheapest way for a poor man to
obtain the use of pure bred sire is to
induce a dozen of his neighbors to CO.
operate With him in the purchase Of a
sire of merit as may be desirable The
Minnesota station believes this a fea-
sible plan for poor or we'll to do farm
ers. The poor man can hardly afford
to own such a sire for his exclusive
use. The more fortunate neighbor
doesn't want to waste money in exclu-
sive ownership. SO the practical way is
to own 4 bull in neighborhood partner
ship and MI use him until his useful
ness is exhausted by reason Of rela-
tionship to the cows Of the community
Then he may be sold to some other
equally wise neighborhood.

The quality of the Stage may be
materially bettered by using care in
taking it out. Don't put the fork
down five or six inches deep, as
though you were pitching manure. but
use fork with tines close together
and skim off the top. only loosening
what you need for the days feeding.
Keep the surface level and perhaps a
little lower near the outer wall.
Silage cannot be handled as careless
ly as ordinary roughage. The cows in
eating will throw some out of the
hangers, and some may be scattered
along the feed alley. If this is al
lowed to remain there it will soon
cause a bad odor. The man that uses
the broom freely is the one that has
the sweet smelling stable, a condition
worth while. for milk takes up a for
eign odor with surprising rapidity, and
unless everything is sweet smelling
the milk will tell it, and eventually
the customer will find it out and take
his trade elsewhere.

sheep in fair condition. we'll covered
and vigorous. Glover. of course, is
next best. but unless it is of the best
quality should be fed in connection
with cabbage or root crops of some
sort. Sheep naturally need some sue
cuent or juicy feed. This element is
pretty well supplied in alfalfa, but not
to any extent in any of the other ordi-
nary roughages.
PLENTY of exercise is as essential as
liberal feeding to the successful win
tering of breeding ewes. have never
thought it best to house the animals
closely. Unless the day is wet and
stormy they much prefer being out in
the field nibbing at straw pile to
being penned up in the barn, and it is
much better for them to be out. Ma
ture gives them ample protection
against the cold. and the fresh air and
sun are what they need. Unless the
snow is very deep feed my sheep
their hay several hundred yards from
their pens or sheds. thus compelling
the animals to take liberal amount
of exercise two or three times daily.
This has mighty important effect
upon the quality and hardness of the
spring lambs. Generally have found
that the lambs will accurately reflect
the wintering of their dams in their
degree Of hardness and vitality. My
lambs came in February last year.
The ewes were accustomed to out of
door weather, with a large open shed
and plenty of bedding in case Of a
storm. The lambs were born in an
open shed and vet were uncommonly
strong and healthy. Only one Of the
entire lot was chilled so that we had
to take him to the fire to revive him."

Brass beds look charming and at
tractive and often brighten an other

tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de-

The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort
but were also useful In protecting the

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

IT is Just year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
peen here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red. and to burn and
sting as If she had sand I'm them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was very severe disease, and
IL she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little Inn
provement
Then we had read SO much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought We would try It. and
we cannot be thankful enough that We
used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap. and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any muc1s or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and In six weeks she was cured.

HONEST ADVERTISING.
Poor Richard Club Of Philadelphia Be-

to PenaiIze Fraud.

A bill will be introduced in the

the present session to prohibit the
printing OF fraudulent or misleading
advertisements in publications OF all
kinds. 1t will be backed by the Poor
Richard club and action was taken
Following an address to the club on
the Need OF an Honest Advertising
Law In Pennsylvania" by Elton ].
Buckley. editor OF the Grocery World
and a lawyer.
In the course OF his talk Mr.. Buck
ley said among other things:
There should be law to penalize
fraudulent advertising and advertise
ments that tend to mislead A great
deal or the advertising In Philadel-
phia Is fraudulent, and there Is no
limit to dishonest advertising. There
are two kinds of fraudulent advertis.
Ing. the deliberate fake and the ad.
that misleads.
Under the second form comes the
trade name that means something to
the producer and nothing to the con-
sumner. Take. for instance, chase
leather This is advertised in the
form or chased leather chairs etc
The reading public is led to believe
that this is real leather. while in fact
II Is only imitation leather. Then
again. right in the city hero in the
FUR business one firm advertised Hud-
son Bay seal. Readers OF the adver-
tisements were led to believe that the
goods advertised was seal. while to
the trade Hudson Bay seal is dyed
muskrat.
Patent medicines would be put I'M
der the ban according to this act.
Medicines that are advertised as hav-
Ing curative properties. and do not
possess them. even though they are
not harmful. would come under this
law.
While this is an epoch I'm the
world OF commercial honesty. nothing
mas been done to clean out these
weeds In the corner OF the business
garden. This bill should have tho
support OF every commercial organiza.
ton every advertising agency, every
advertising writer and every newspa-
per.
An honest advertiser stands a bet
ter chance in an honest center than

THE only act that covers false ad-
Vertising is the false pretense act OF
