know l still would have George II he
hadn't been winking at me all season. "
Somebody gave the manager the
equine guffaw. Then Doc Lawler
came to WaIlaoe's rescue.
What Wallace says is the gospel
TRUTH" quoth Lawler. Lefty was the
worlds champion winker. He could
give the cutest, most knowing little
wink with either lamp, and before the
season was over we voted him first
honors in the worlds open winking
tournament.
I'll never forget day in Boston, {"
chirped Wallace unwilling to let Law
Ter tell his story. 81 sent George in
to pitch and told him for the love Of
his wife and child and his future in
the profession to uncork good game.
He said he'd try. He went along
swimmingly until the fifth inning.
Then he inaugurated his famous
walk" balk. He filed the bases on
passes. l chased out on the diamond
and Lefty stopped me with that wink
one OF those long, deliberate. total
eclipse winks. He had me hypnotized
for a minute. Finally he walked the
fourth man, forcing home a run.
II started out on the diamond again,
and Lefty came through with another
coy little wink-this time a quick
just-a-minute-Bob-I1l-get-him-this- time
wink.
Il snatched the ball from him end
told him to get in to the bench and
wink at Lawler. He did, and Lawler
hasn't won game of kelley pool
since; neither has Lefty pitched for
the Browns.

EARLY MATING BEST.

II that early bird gets the worm,
early mated fowls beget best offspring
and their hustling owner gets the top
notch price. SO get busy.
Geese to insure fertility, If strangers
to the place, should be mated the fall
before. Otherwise like humans, they
get homesick aud neglect business.
Geese, turkeys and ducks often lay and
hatch very early, SO let them go to
housekeeping early and avoid the rush.
Hens and roosters must be hitched
up in plenty of time before natural
breeding season.
Large breeds, like Cochins. so slow
to mature, should be mated early in
February. March settings are all right
for Rocks, Dottes and Reds Birds of
the Leghorn type are all right for April
and May.
To win at fall shows chicks should
be out in January. To fill the place of
hens that knock off laying in mott pull
lets must be hatched in January and

THE PERIOD OF INCUBATION.

THE PERIOD OF INCUBATION.
Broody Biddy is apt TO fool us by
Matching her eggs before or after the
date set. Though a hen generally fin.
ishes her hatch the twenty-first day,
the condition Of hen or eggs or weather
may vary the time. We have known
eggs TO hatch the eighteenth, nine
teenth, twentieth, twenty-first and even
on the twentyfourth day. A hot blood
ed hen that sits tight on strongly fer
tilized fresh eggs often finishes on the
eighteenth A hen of low Matching
heat matches late, and though the eggs
are strong her chicks may be weak. 4
fussy hen that goes off and on and neg
lectS her eggs may retard her chicks to
the twenty-fourth. Extremes of tenn
perature often affect the time of hatch
ing. heat Fastening, cold retarling the
chick. We believe incubation may be
suspended without injuring the germ.
English fanciers guarantee all eggs
in setting fertile. They place them
under heat just long enough to see the
germ, test out infertiles, then ship
We have reset eggs deserted by hens
for several days, and they hatched
well. Through accident to an incuba-
tor 200 eggs were away from Matching
heat for thirty hours. They were kept
covered, reset and 1GO chicks Matched
one day behind time.
We mention this so you may not rush
to throw out eggs that do not hatch on
the minute. Though circumstances
may cause occasional variation, each
breed of fowls has its period of incu-
baton, the following table being con-
sidered standard for the species men

THE MEANEsT SOUND THAT'S
HEARD

How oft within the Silly night
That tomcat yells from the back fence
l throw brtckbat at his skull
Consign him quick to hades hence!
He quiets, then, like Caesars ghost,
He will not down; but, with yowl,
lie snorts and Misses cat-a-wauls
And makes of night a hideous howl.
And there's the hound that never sleeps.
A cavernous moving mouth is he.
"Bow-wow! Ki-yiv l fire a gun.
He bow-wows back; he thinks its fun.
l throw the bed Stats at his head,
swear till all s lurid red,
yell till I'm exhausted quite,
Yet that hound howls till morning light.
But what are such TO human bores,
The grouchy glooms that grow1 around
The pessimist with mournful mouth,
The knocker with his rasping sound
Beside such cats are nightingales;
Beside such Towser's sweet bird
Yes, pessimistic knocking cuss,
You make the meanest sound that's
heard.

HsrtzeII as Run Producer.

Roy Hartzell of the Yanks is and
will be for some time in a class by
himself as a run producer on account
OF little stunt which he pulled off
In game against the Browns July 12
when, single handed, he bitred an
octet of runners across the pan. A
feat which may be put in the next
best class was a pinch hit by Lajoie,
a double off Baker OF Chicago, on
July 1, which sent three tallies over
and won the game, to 2.

Butter and eggs naturally go togeth-

two. With bees and fruit added there's

Cock fights, dog fights and bull fights
are now under the ban in the Panama
canal zone. Think of $50 fine or Jail

spoils another good market for game

There are some markets where there
are but few calls for ducks. It's not
wise to dress a whole stack Of ducks
and then have to haul them back home.
Better take a crate of live ducks to
market and test the demand

They travel SO far and are often out of

The appetite is the signboard to di-
gestion both in man and hen, and the
quantity to feed flock must be judg-

feed. Breeds differ in the quantity
they eat, and the same flock on differ
ent days does not always require the
same quantity.
We asked a farmers wife who was
dressing hen how she could tell a
healthy chicken. She replied that she
always kills the hen that's laying-that
it Is always healthy. This is not al
ways true, and If 1t was, killing layers
is bad policy, for "the hen that lays
is the hen that pays"
