He never told his love; she met him at
the door
And told him that he ne'er had looked so
we'll before;
She said she was so glad he had been
pleased to call,
And, talking. took his hat and hung it IN
the hall.
Shed thought of him all day, she hast
ened to declare:
She led him to a nook and sat beside him
there;
She deity smoothed his tie and tucked
one corner in,
And with her little hand she softly
touched his chin.
She told him she was sure he'd some day
make his mark:
The nook in which they sat was all their
own, and dark:
He found her in his arms and vowing to
be true:
He never told his love-she made it need
less to.

Bull works." exclaimed Mr.. Wad-

This amt a-goin' to be no cattle ship,

is required to maintain life and body
temperature under uncomfortable con-
ditions than in suitable shelter. In
the latter case the surplus nutriment
is available for making flesh, fat and
eggs.
Warmth and comfort also favor the
tendency to breeding which among
fowls signifies increased egg produc

POULTRY CULTURE
ARTICLE XVII.

Market for Supplies.-The source OF
supplies to be purchased for the poul-
try plant must be borne in mind. Here
Is where railroad or other means OF
transportation are important. Like
wise note the distance from the rail-
road station to poultry plant and the
size of wagon loads possible.
Bearing in mind all that is ascer-
tanned concerning the markets and
transportation facilities the poultry
man after due deliberation should be
enabled to decide conclusively wheth-
er a given location is suited to his
purpose or not. He should weigh well
every fact bearing upon the problem
and select a location on which he will
settle to stay.
Ownership of Land.-It is we'll for
the poultryman to choose location at
such a distance from market as viii
allow Of his purchasing the land. If
the poultryman wishes to practically
test the location first he may perhaps
manage TO rent a poultry plant in the
/ locality with privilege of purchase
/ Profit Depends on Sales.-Market
demands and shipping facilities are
even more important than climatic and
soil conditions, because defects in the
latter can usually be remedied. To
make the poultry plant pay, the prod
ucts must be sold advantageously. De-
fectiveness here is dangerous if not
ruinous to the business. Poultry pro
ducts are concentrated and of high
value compared with most other farm
products. They can if necessary stand
considerable expense for transporta,
ton in order TO reach the best market
Correcting Climate-In their native
jungles the wild ancestors Of our do
nestle fowls lived and perpetrated
their kind without other shelter than
that afforded by nature. Today in
mild climates and during the summer
season in the temperate zone fowls
often show their disregard of artifi
cial shelter by taking TO the trees al
night Some OF our farm fowls, il
turned loose in the woods, could doubt
less adapt themselves to the natural
conditions and continue 10 exist, but
the process would certainly reduce

In sections subject at certain sea

TO provide, by means of buildings, {

and expect remuneration for this extra

WHERE THE SQUEEZE CAMB IN.

President Elliott, the new head of
the New Haven & Hartford road, urges
that railways be permitted to boost
rates. He holds that that is the only
solution. 1t is undoubtedly the only
solution if the public is to devote
the space of two or three generations
to paying for the vast fictitious stock
and bond issues marketed by wreck
ers who pocketed the money. The
only fair solution in the case OF some
systems must be receivership and a

TOM JoHNsON's SPIRIT MARCHING


on.
The intimate relation between good
government and community prosperity
has been recognized in Cleveland,
Ohio, and explains in large part that
city's persistence in progressive meas
ures OF administration.
The calamities that were promised
when Tom Johnson's enemies were
fighting the Inauguration of forward
movements have not only failed of
realization, but that city has been one
Of the national marvels of growth, ex-
pansion and prosperity. No wonder
it presses the fight for a government
that will really serve the whole peo-
pie.
The latest achievement is municipal
electric light ownership. The city vot-
ed million dollars to install & plant,
ana was tied up by injunction proceed
ings. The injunction has now been
dismissed and the city can go ahead
and build. Already it owns three such
plants, two of them acquired by an
nexation of suburbs. These, and the
new one, are to be united and COM
bined and their facilities will be ade-
quate to furnish light for the whole
city.
