POOR TAILOR'S MANY TRIALS

Men tailors have trouble with shout.
ders, Wristbands and legs, but legs are
the worst There isn't one man in ten
who can make an affidavit that he Is
neither knockkneed nor bowlegged.
Perfectly straight legs are rare. It's
an art to shape fabrics over bowlegs
so that they will not show and no joke
to hide the bends of knock.knees.
When a man begins to take on
weight it shows first at the belt line,
then on the shoulders and upper arms.
Later 1t gets down to the legs. In the
meantime the tailor has his trouble in
keeping his customer from looking top
heavy. The tailor is supposed to take
an imperfect anatomy and shape gar.
ments over it with such nicely as to
produce a superb figure. It's trying
job.
Legs that are overlong are sources Of
some complaint. The waistcoat has to
be dropped an inch or two in cases
like this. There are knees which are
so per cent larger than they ought to
be-~great knuckles of bone that are
hard to hide. Then there's the thigh
three times larger at the upper end
than at the other. Men created on
this model ought to be permitted to
wear full-seated knickerbockers.

A Practical Brooder.

four inches from the ground. This
floor Is covered with clover hay chaff,
three inches deep. Then we have a
frame, 20 by 80 inches, covered with
cheese cloth, which is tackled on to
the frame In such a way that the cloth
says down In the middle of the frame
so that 1t touches the hay chaff on
the floor. The run is filled with dry
sand or dirt four inches deep, so as
tc come up level with the floor OF the
hover.
With this brooder we have raised
80 chicks without single loss, taking
them from the incubator at 1913 de-
grees and placing them In ON Of the
brooders when there was yet snow
and ice on the ground We keep
breeders outdoors In small yards, III
by 16 feet; for a run for the chicks
as they get older. Last season we
raised some 900 chicks, and most Of
them when three weeks old sold at
IL cents each. This is a good way to
do, as they do not have to be fed
long, and there is less loss from
hawks. rats, etc. We find ready
market for all we can raise.

Herd of Cows.

have only a small farm Of Sc acres,
but we are keeping 20 head of dairy
cows, dualpurpose dairy cows, grade
Shorthorns and sometimes few Hol.
stems, and practice winter dairying.
Besides dairying have at present 700
laying hens, says a writer In an ex-
change. They are not laying as well
at present as they did last year. What
l mean by last year is that my year
runs from December to December.
Last year from December, 1908, to De-
cember. 1910, had 800 laying hens;
on December /, 1909, had 6sh dozens
of eggs; December 9, 851s dozens of
eggs; December 16, 1061a dozens OF
eggs, and so on; but l did not have
that many hens the whole year, as
kill every week and when spring
comes l sell some, and l am sure
did not average 500 hens for the year.
The receipts Of my poultry for the
years, including broilers, some squads,
25 ducks, and three geese, netted me
a total of $2,019.40. The eggs sold for
$1,43445, leaving s564.95 for poultry
sold. / keep an account of everything
except what we use in our family of
seven and what l use for setting.
There is no doubt about the figures,

Broth for the Children.

A most delicious food for children
Just beginning to eat and for invalids:
Buy pound of the best round steak,
remove every particle Of fat and put
through the food chopper. Put the
chopped steak into two quart glass,
preserving jar, and add tablespoon
full OF tapioca. Fill the jar with cold
water. put on the cover and see the
Jar into pan of cold water. Be sure
that the pan holds water enough to
cover two-thirds of the jar, and as 1t
boils away renew it. Now put the
pan containing the jar into the oven
and cook for six hours. At the end
of that time remove the jar and strain
the contents through fine sieve.
This makes a most delicious and nour-
ishing broth. A cupful of this with
a few crackers or toasted bread
makes a fine dinner for a child or a
sick person.

Police Judge Simon Hahn, while adj
dressing a political meeting, related
the following incident in reference to
telling the same tale over and over
again:

that the speeches made at political
meetings are all very near alike, but
to get something different is the prop
er thing nowadays.
ut puts me in mind of case of a
woman who appeared before certain
magistrate, and when asked her age
she said 80 years old. The judge
looked at her and said: Look here.
madam. weren't you here before me
FIVE years ago, and did you not tell me
then that you were 80 years old?' The
woman said that was SO, and the Judge
asked her what she meant by Soming
before him and telling an untruth.
"The woman replied Well, you see.

of two porcelain cups about three
inches high, with a rubber egg holder
in the top of each, as illustrated. One
of the cups has metallic pivoted
striker, actuated by coil spring. In
operating an egg is placed in one cup,
as shown, then pressing the two cups
firmly together the striker is let go
with a quick snap, which will cut the
egg shell and permit the loose con.

an egg cup or glass, The remainder
of the shell contents can be removed
with a spoon. The empty shells may
be loosened from the holders with a

Hard to Raise Them.

AS 1t is getting near the time to
get ready for Matching the early
chicks, the thought came to me that
l would tell of our experience with
a brooder without heat. We have no
trouble in Matching the chicks, the
trouble has been to get them to live
after We had them Matched, writes G.
W. Scott of Michigan In the Farmers
Review. We tried several ways, but
failed until we made our useful brood
er, Since then we have hs&l good sue
cess. We made out own breeders out
OF old boxes, that Is, we made them
over with lumber. The boxes cost 20
cents each, and two of them made a
brooder for hatch of rs to 80 chicks.
The brooder is made with two COM
partments, one for the hover and the
other for the run. The size Is 30 by
60 inches. The house Is 20 by 80
inches and is made with tight floor,

My Uncle Owen of Kentucky had
died and left me seven horses and a
heap of trouble. Murf Higgenbottom,
his old trainer, had brought the skates
to me, and l was getting ready to
race them without letting on to the
family. Gee, but was having hard
time of it!
During the following week | spent
most of my time at the training quar-
tiers. and 1t wasn't long before the
colts would nose around my pockets
for the Jumps of sugar brought
them.
The ponies soon tumbled to the fact
that was their meal ticket
The things Murf knew about horse
flesh were scandalous. He had the ra-
cling business tied up In knot In his
handkerchief. Murf was one of those
gamey little men that wouldn't take
a dare from any nag that ever chewed
a halter.
That there little light bay filly

observed sententiously, after the seven
had been tried out thoroughly.

quickly.

have a place at the table when For

quickly to Spuds, "and tell him he's

you hear him say ticket? Poor old
Murf is tired of the east and wants to
