A HEN BOARDING HOUSE?

Are you keeping brooder hens in
your flock? Many people think that
because they feed home grown feed
that all the hen produces is clear
profit. Such, however, is not the
case At the present high price of
feed it costs from 81 to 81. so a year to
keep hen.
All this must be returned to the
owner before the hen can produce a
single cent of profit. Ii it costs 81 or
more to keep hen and the average
price of eggs is 20 cents a dozen, a
hen must lay five or more dozen of
eggs in order to pay for her feed.
She must produce more than this be-
fore she pays for her board. Many
hens on most farms only lay from 60
to 80 eggs per year. So this loss
must be made up in some other way,
and your len Is only a "boarder, F"
and poor one at that; one that can
never pay her board bills. She is a
"dead beat and in order to make
up losses we will have to charge the
good boarders little more than we

you cannot sell a man anything until
he wants it. We sell advertising

orders like this in the dull season
but to take money from man for

like robbing him. When I was new
in the business of selling poultry [

the benefit OF my experience free.
I've seen many others try it always
with the same result. Save your
money to use awhen it will do you
good.' But he thought he could turn
the trick aud the ad went in. Some
months afterward [ asked him what
the sales from that ad amounted to.
He would not tell me the exact
amount, but admitted that the gross
sales we're less than fifty per cent of
the cost of the ad and that he had
had all he wanted of trying to secure
trade out of season"
This TALES with the experience OF
most breeders and it is only few
days ago that bunch of them we're
discussing this very subject in the
hearing of the writer. They had
every one of them, one time or an
other, tried to induce tine coy and
reluctant buyer to purchase stock out
of season; and with the same success
as experienced by editor Robinson s
client. And so far as the writer
could notice none of the editors OBJ
jected to taking their money either.
Human nature is pretty much the
same east or west and it is not
natural for most people to buy any
thing uutil they feel the need of it.
So far as the matter of purchasing

breeding fowls is concerned it would
be better for most poultry raisers to
do their buying earlier in the season
at time when the seller is anxious
to get his surplus stock out OF the
way and is ready to offer special in
ducements to the customer. But most
people pr efer to wait and take chances
later on of gett ng what they want;
and so, as long as hens cackle and
ROSTERS crow, the same old rash for
breeding birds will be seen in January
and February, long after the fore
handed fellows have secured the best

ECHO 0F THE
 kL0NO|KE DAYS
Mrs. Wade, Supposing Her Hus- band Dead, Remarries, and
 Wade Turns Up Alive

\ matter will soon come up in court in Los Angeles that has a flavor of the early KlOndikc days, and which is proving embarraS- sing to a happily married couple living here. Several years ago Mrs. Susie M. Wade was convinc- cd by men returning from the Alaskan gold fields that her hlIS- band had per ishrd in the north. Accordingly, on October :. 1908, she became the bride of George NJ. Orntsby. of Tacoma, Wash. I.airr they came to California, settling here. Two months ago friends in the north, let into the secret of her first marriage, which had never been revealed to her father, wealthy Arizona cattleman, told her they had seen Wade in Tacoma.
 Mrs. Wade at once instituted an investigation and learned be- y"nd d question that Wade is alive. Mir. Ormsby was informed and the sought counsel. The re- suit was the filing here of suit for the annulmcnt of the mar riagr io Mr.. Ormsby. The other day Mrs. Ormsby went into Sr- cluSinn. Her attorney says she left n" address with him, and in- tended tn keep here whereabouts < secret until tn" suit comes in trial.
 Mrs. Urmsby iS victim nr cIrcunnStanc"S over which she has nn r"nirnl." says the alinr- n"y. "Sh" received the infurma- lion hal Wade had prriShrd from men who had been his rnmpan- "nS. They told her hr had frozr [" death after wandering nm the Trail. Sh" refused Io believe it at first. but as inc years passed without bringing ii,lingS of him sh" finally felt free to marry again. In the eyes of the law Wade has no claim. His failure |" communicate with his wife lays inc responsibility for what has happened upon him."
 IL is iniimatch by the attorney lhai upon freeing herself from lI"r pr"S"ni husband. Mrs. Orms- by will immediately rndravur io divorce Wade. Rr-marriagr with OrESby will probably follow.
