A POOR IDEA.

About the worst habit that you can
get into for your own happiness and
the happiness of your friends is to
get to believing that everyone is a
crook and that most people are Just
stp. ing around to get a chance to
steal something.
We know Of some pretty good fell
lows whose friends do not care to
meet and mingh with them, not be-
cause they really are bad, but be-
cause they have a crouch. If the
groceryman is unusually polite and
wants to make him feel at home in
his place of business he thinks it is
because the groceryman is shaping
up to give him short weights. If
the preacher breaches an unusually
good sermon, the crouch is sure that
it is because the preacher is a little
short, and has made the effort in
order to swell the collection when
the hat goes round. If some fellow
comes along and gives lecture on
temperance or good morals, they ane
sure that if you would give him the
least chance down at the city where
the news would not reach home, that
he would tilt the schOmers and chase
the fairies. So on, all down along
the line. He doubts that anyone does
good because they get some Satisfac.
tion out of the doing. 1t is a bad
habit. There is a lot of deceit in
the world but there are many more
men and women who are on the
square and striving to do their very
best than there are those who are
seeking to short change you, either
in courage or in coin. When you finC
that YOU are beginning to lose faith
in humanity, it is time for you tt
stop and take an invoice of yourself
The chances ae if the world is al
wrong with YOU that the fault is no
in your neighbor but will be found
in yourself.

CULLING MAKES FINE FOWLS
Runts and Deformed Birds Should Be
Disposed Of Immediately to Make
Room for Good Ones.

The first great secret In the pro-
duction Of fine poultry is severe cul-
ling. Az soon as you can distinguish
between the good and the bad, COM
mence the culling process. The runts
and the deformed, the off-colored and
the disqualified, should be at once dis
posed Of, 80 that the room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment Of the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper
color and correct formation. II the
backs, keels, legs or toes Of any are
crooked or deformed, thrown them out
for the table on the market. II there
are any scrubs, small or feeble ones,
1t is best to end their existence.
When you Gull, Gull closely, and re-
tain only such specimens as are rea.
sonably sure to grow right. It is only
by such systems Of severe culling
that one can ever hope to breed rea.
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy
poultry.

love the state Of Kansas with its
fields OF wheat and corn. l love the

grow tat on Kansas crops and never
mind the absence of the yield OF rye
and hops; love the Kansas porher

love the Kansas zephyrs and the kan

Spread Of contanlon.

Drinking water in poultry houses
is one cause Of the rapid spread of
contagious diseases, such as roup. An
affected hen when she places her beak
in the water to get q drink, contami-
mates all the water. Then, when
healthy hens drink from this water
supply they become exposed To what
ever disease the sick hen has. Thus,
when one fowl contracts a contagi-
Gus disease It generally Is but a COM
paratively short time until there Is q
general outbreak Of the affection, IN.
less precautions are taken
