Last summer ] undertook to keep

lucky wonder beans were planted late
in the summer In a circle about four
feet in diameter. Eight superannu-
ated sunflower stalks nine to ten feet
tall were tied together by their tops
to act as supports. An old can filed
with fine, well-eotted manure and wa
tered every other day was sunk in the
center of the circle. The beans ran to
the top Of their supports and until
frost came yielded a very liberal sup
ply for a small family.

barrels of water and countless adjec-

Sim ONLY A LITTLE GIRL"

Hardly Effective.

certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West Side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate a bedlam. when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of nearby apartment house. He
was quite old, and it was evident that
his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out a
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know it's against the
law to make SO much noise?"
Yes, sir was the meek reply.
We'll, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in jail, and then
you can never be president of the

Fall is the best season for planting
all deciduous trees and bushes.
Cherries will not thrive planted on
low, moist or cold, heavy soils.
Any good dry land that will grow the

The fungicidal value of Iine-sulphur

Grapes are apt to overbear and it

DUCK RAISING is PROFITABLE
Capital of $1,000 Will Give Excellent
Start-eusIness Requires Care
and WatchfuIness.

For breeding, ducks and brakes are
better in their second year
The duck laying season generally
begins in February and ends in Au-
gust, although the Indian Runner
ducks are credited with being year
round layers.
Hallock estimates that it costs, all
told, II cents a pound to raise ducks
up to the market age (ten weeks).
This includes the cost of feed, help.
marketing, eggs, insurance, etc. All
over the IL cents is clear profit.
From February to May the eggs show
the strongest fertility.
John Weber, the well-known duck
raiser, in an address before the
Ploughman Farmers meeting at Bos-
ton some years ago, said if one owns
the land $1,000 capital will give a
start in the duck business. Such an
amount, he said, would be sufficient
to cover all expenses, buy two incu-
bators, flock of about 80 ducks a
house for the breeders, a brooding-
house and heater, feed boards and
"1VVA Iouht6lHS, wire FENCING, etc.
Such plant would keep one man
busy, and the future growth of the
plant could be built on the profits
The point to be remembered and
strictly followed is to begin small,
learn the lesson we'll and use every
effort to set good results This will
require care, watchfulness and well
applied business principles. The
duck business is of such a nature that
If rightly carried on it is very profit,
able, but disastrous if neglected.
