PLANT a TREE.

woodman raised his 50 keen
To fell noble tree
That stood like a monarch tall and strong,
With shade spread far and Tree.
When poet passing through the wood,
Just CHANGED that AK TO see
And cried as the blade was raised to
strike,
"Woodman, spare that tree
But the woodman would not spare the
tree.
The woodman did not care.
He was greedy for gold that the forests
hold.
And so he stripped them bare.
So the forests are gone. and the mountain
springs
Are dried by the suns strong glare.
And the fields are dry and the floods defy
Because the hills are bare.
You cannot spare that tree. my friend,
For the green wood is no more.
But you may plant a tree. my friend,
On the hills and beside your door.
And thus. if we all shall plant a tree.
The woods will come back again,
And the monarch oak with his leafy cleak
VIII shade the hill and glen.
The birds will sing in the leafy boughs.
And the squirrels will play as of yore,
And you'll bless the day that you planted
a tree
AS you sit in your shaded door.

kuRIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

(Which incubator matches the
most chicks? A.-There are so many
makes we haven't tried we cannot
answer this question. If eggs are
good, some of the cheapest. poorest
machines hatch as many as the best
machines, but the chicks die off or
grow up culls. What you want is
quality, livable chicks, and the ma
chimes that hatch quality We have
found produce the quantity also.
Q.-Why do you suppose my Pekin
ducks do not get broody? l purchased
them from a large plant in New York.
A.-The large plants do all their hatch
ing with incubators. Their breeding
ducks are simply egg machines. are
never allowed TO sit, and thus the ma
ternal instinct is bred out of them.
(Which has more influence with
poultry judges, color or shape?' A
While a number of our judges are
crazy on color, we think the majority
give the more prominence to shape,
other things being equal. OF course,
glaring faults in color, in head points,
size, would handicap a bird, though
perfect in shape.
Q.-When was the American Poultry
association organized? Who We're the
first officers? When was the first edi-
ton of the Standard issued? AIT
