An OId-Fashioned Car on Pennsylvania Avenue

opening works a brass slide. As, you
have it: through that opening in cold
or in rainy weather you would hand
quarter to the driver, and putting
your lips close to the opening, would
say, Tickets" or Change. The driv-
er would open long tin box attached
either to the dash of the car or to his
belt and would pass back to you
through the opening little envelope
on which was printed either Tickets"
or "25 Cents You would tear the
end off the little envelope and, taking
out ticket or a nickel, would drop
it in tall box of wood and glass on
the right-hand side of the door. The
driver-from the outside of course
would look into the box, and seeing
that you had deposited your fare,
would pull string and the nickel or
the ticket would drop out of sight
into the base of the box.
You know now that you are on
board one of the old horse cars. Hav-
ing the ticket slot in the door at both
ends. shows that it was of later Pc
riod than the bob-tailed car with the
rounded dash in front and the funny
little step behind-the car that was
turned round on turntable at the
end OF the route. Still you know that
that old car has made many trips in

Before you try to pick out your
fowls, study up well on the character
istics of the breed you have chosen.
If tho hens are to weigh five pounds,
standard weight, see that yours come
pretty near to that figure If the male
bird is shown in the standard to have
fiyepointed comb, see that the one
you pick out has that kind. II the
wattles should be pure white, do not
put in a bird whose wattles are
streaked with red. Look with spe-
cial care to the shape of your hens.
Get those that are just as near like
the pictures you see of that particu-
lar breed as you can IL you study the
poultry papers we'll, and notice the IL
Illustrations of prize-winning bowls, you
will soon learn the qualifications you
want. If you cannot get birds that
are exactly right, come Just as near to
1t as you can, and then breed up to
higher standard
Read everything on the poultry
question that you can get hold of. Do
not be afraid of being called Chick
en- crank" or ''hen granny" When
people want good stock, they always
go to some chicken crank" to get
it. 1t is a good advertisement for
your business to show that you are
wholly interested in it.

you can afford, and read what the
poultry departments have to say. II
there are things you do not under
stand, write to the boys department
and find out. Make a scrap book and
paste in it everything you can find
about chickens.
Watch your flock. Experience is
what counts. Get acquainted with
your hens They will soon learn to
know you, and there are no finer pets,
or more profitable ones, than ten or
a dozen handsome hens.
A wellkept flock of hens means a
steady income enough to keep you

for the boy farmer. Let us hear from
every league member who is inter-
ested in this work. Ask all the ques-

man makes, according to Gibson-the
court collects the entire amount and
pays 1t to his wife and children.
Il believe fully half our cases are

Gibson. ''ln a year we must average
500 cases where there Is failure to

that number from divorce. Unless

There is no part of farming more
fascinating to the average boy than
the care OF poultry At the same
time. there is no branch that offers
him better chance of success. Even
q very small boy can manage small
flock of chickens successfully.
1t does not cost much to get start
ed-another item in favor of the poul-
try business. The equipment need
not cost much, and, in fact, most of
the needed coops and fixtures can be
built by almost any ambitious boy
The most important consideration
is, of course. the breed to be kept.
In an article so brief as this it is
impossible to compare the different
kinds of fowls, more than to say, that
they are divided into two principal
groups, those kept for eggs, and those
kept for broflers or other sale stock.
It all depends upon the market which
will pay the best. The layers are sell
dom as good for raising frying and
boiling chicks as some larger breeds.
as they usually weigh less at the same
age, though maturing even more
quickly in the matter of egg produc-
ing
1t is safe enough, then, to keep any
breed that you like, go long as your
fowls are from good strains, and full
FLOODED. Nearly every one has some
preference, either of size, color or
other qualities, and there are none
of the standard breeds but what have
much to recommend them. So if you
wish to keep Brown Leghorns, or Buff
Orpingtons, or Black Minorcas. you
will be perfectly safe In doing so, no
matter what some one else may say
IN favor OF other breeds. But when
once you have adopted a particular
kind, stick to it. Do not change. at
least until you have given it sew
eral years trial. Usually the fault,
If there is any, is in care or handling,
not in the fowls themselves.
When you are selecting your fowls,
Insist on having nothing but good,
young birds.
If you buy in the fall, try to get

can; but do not take anything over
Is months old, at the furthest. To
mate with the spring pullets you
should have a yearling male, but il
your hens are over year old, cock

Bert Everson, for several years,
commonly known as the conquerer of

grand old man Of baseball in Will

for the Wilmington A. A. team during
the seasons of 1904. He delights in
bringing back those good old days

about Wilmington. Butt" captained
and held down third base on the 1904
Wilmington A. A. team. Although a
veteran at the game. his love for
baseball has never ceased. Last year
the call of the diamond sounded to
him like youth and he donned uni
form for the Edge Moor team of the
Industrial League. With the excep-
tion Of wooden arm he showed
flashes Of his old-time form. "Butz"
claims he will again answer the call
next year.
In case the Wilmington Tri-State
franchise is transferred next season.
a new league most likely. will be
formed. Several sporting men of the
town are anxious to start another
