At any rate. he was one of the
elect few who hurried to the Findlay
Art company's galleries when the ex-
hibitions of thumb box sketches by
American artists was announced. And
there he saw a sketch that made him
stand still and open his eyes wide.
1t was a sketch of three cattle, stand
ing In the shade of tree, sunshine
breaking through the foliage and
lighting up their brown backs 10
spots.
He went away-and then came back
again. Three or four times he came
back to look az that picture. Then
ne decided he must have 1t.
He inquired the price. IL was Soo'
Whew. He dug down into his trou-
sers pockets, I've got just dollar,
he said will you take 1t and hold
the picture for me? I'll have to find
some way to get the rest"
you bet we will" said Mr.. Findlay.
A few minutes later a Kansas City
collector who already had purchased
three of the little canvases. said TO
Mr.. Findlay:
I'D like to get that cattle sketch
( was looking at while ago.
I'm sorry but this young man has
Just purchased It." was the reply.
The collector turned to the young
artist. I'm give you a bonus for the
sketch" he said.
But the other smiled and shook his
head

You needn't expect to reap much

Pile the pumpkins in row, as high

This not only affords ample protection

GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS
That Which Causes More Loss Than

The greatest enemy of the chick.
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, is chilling; the
second enemy in Importance because
or amount of loss is lice; both lice
and chilling are the indirect cause of
bowel troubles. because both sap the
vitality and life of the chick, making
1t impossible for the little fellow to
resist the organisms of disease whcih
are always really to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps. but
some lice are quite sure to escape,
and can later be found on the head
of the chick. Rub a little dab of lard
on top of the chuck's heal, getting it
into the down thoroughly. and you
will get these; repeat the dose In
week. and If the hen is furnished
good busting place, the lice are not
likely to give any more trouble; but
whenever you gee chick that seems
unhappy. eyes closed. droopy. look for
lice
The brood coops should be thor
oughly sprayed before using with some
coal-tar preparation, sheep dip, white
wash, or mixture of four parts coal

why so few OF us are making anything
on Cur poultry; we neglect these little
things; because of neglect disease gets

because of the losses. and give up and
blame our luck, when all the bad luck
might have been prevented by little
careful preparation.

the heat they can stand. keep them
free from vermin, and you can safely
count them before they are raised
