Fowls Are Important Adjunct to Farm

Those living close to water should
raise geese and ducks. They will get
a large part of their food from the
streams and swamp lands. requiring
very little grain during the summer
months.
Toulouse geese are hardy. early

pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily.

very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each. Emb-

WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS7
Poultrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or Pullet 10 Capable Of
I Greater Egg Production.

No matter how successful we may
become In any business we are try
ing all the time to find how we may
increase our profits. To increase our
profits means, of course, an increase
in the output of our goods, whatever
II may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the pullet
is capable of the greater egg produc-
ton. There is good argument on both
sides. says the American Cultivator
Some claim that while hens lay less
than pullets they lay larger and heav-
Ter eggs, and because of this fact the
eggs command better price than
those laid by pullets. This is true, but
in many sections Of the United States
eggs are sold without grading, and
consequently the smaller egg Is able
to command as good price as the
larger one.
Others are in favor Of pullets be-
cause they lay so many eggs which.
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets lay more
eggs than hens.
The question of which is the better,
hens or pullets. will never be an
swered 30 that 1t win please every
one. 1t is simply matter OF the likes
and dislikes Of the individual poultry
man.
Personally the writer favors pullets
There are very few Of them that lay
understood eggs, and II he wishes the
poultryman can easily Gull them out.

WHERE WRINKLES COME FROM
Contrary to General impression, Most
Of Them Come From Laughter
Some Pecullarities.

The general impression about
wrinkles is that they are caused by
worry, but the truth is that most OF
them come from laughing.
To know how to laugh Is just as
important as to know when to do 1t.
II you laugh with the sides Of your
face the skin will work loose in time
and wrinkles will form in exact ac-
cordance with the kind of laugh you
have.
The man who always wears smirk
will have series of semicircular
wrinkles covering his cheeks.
A gambler, who is accustomed to
suppressing his feelings, generally has
a deep line running from each side Of
his nose to the upper corner Of his
mouth, which In time extends to the
chin, forming the shape Of a half
moon.
A cadaverous person is usually
marked with two wrinkles. one on
the jaw and the other under the eye.
meeting at right angles at the cheek
bones.
The scholars wrinkle forms on his
brow, while a schemer's wrinkles come
around his eyes and look like spokes
of wheel.

I'VE were on stage journey from
Lewiston, Idaho, to Grangevile, Idaho,
distance of 70 miles. The stage
stopped for noon at the Fountain
house, halfway between the two
towns. A large raccoon was chaine,l by
the collar to a post In the front yard
After luncheon the driver of the stage
gathered up a plate of food from the
table and carried 1t out to where
the animal was chained. He set the
plate Just out of reach OF the rae

the distance.
zone of the passengers said, why
do you not place 1t within his reach?'
He can reach it, the driver re-
piled.
"He can't, unless you move the
plate nearer
"'Wait and see.' said the driver.
THE raccoon had by this time
given up trying to reach the food, and
sat whining. He seemed to ponder
over the problem for few moments,
then stretched his chain to its fullest
extent, turned round, reached out with
his hind foot, dragged the plate to-
ward him, reversed the process, grasp

amusement of the onlookers and the

There was not enough energy in any one Of

A New York lawyer, finding his ex-
penses higher than his income, refusal to
deny himself, but kept on living at the old
rate until he was in debt to the limit, and
then calmly went through bankruptcy and
wiped off the slate. This solution Of the
problem is very dishonorable.
A man who deliberately would do a
thing of that kind is no better than thief.
In fact, he is less honorable than thief,
