CULLING MAKES FINE FOWLS

The first great secret in the pro
duction Of fine poultry is severe cul
ling. AS soon as you can distinguish

mence the culling process. The runtz
and the deformed, the off-coIored and
the disqualified, should be a. once dis
posed of, so that the room aud feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment of the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper
color and correct formation. If 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,
it 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 II is only
by such systems of severe cuIling
that one can ever hope TO breed rea-
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy

Josh, and once IN a party with some
OF the bank people. She knew where
the place was and felt that she could
dine there with no fear of encounter
ing any one she knew.
With an objective point in view,
her step gained decision, and she
moved forward briskly, leaving the
plaza and plunging into the congeries
of picturesque streets which harbor a
swarming foreign population. The
lights of shops and open stalls fell out
into the fog, Transforming 1t into thick,
churning currents OF smoky pallor.
| Wet walls and sidewalks showed a
gold veneer, and lingering drops,
trembling on cornices, hung like tiny
globes Of thin yellow glass.
People and things looked magnif1ed
and sometimes horrible seen through
this mysterious, obscuring medium.
Once behind a pane of glass she saw
lines of detached, staring eyes, fas-
tened glaringly on her as she ad-
vance,. 1t was the display in an OPP
tician's show-window, where glass eyes
were disposed in fanciful lines, like a
decoration. She looked at them ask
ance, feeling that there was something
sinister in their wide, unwinking scrut-
my. She hurried by the market stalls.
where the shawled figures OF women
stood huddled round the butchers
block. They looked as II they might
be grouped round point of interest,
bending to stare at something lying
there. something dreadful, like a
corpse. Berry thought.
When she saw the Mexican restau-
rant she felt relieved. The strange at
mospheric conditions seemed to have
played upon her nerves and she was
glad to get somewhere where she
could find warmth and light and peo-
pie. The place, a little shabby house
dating from the era OF the projecting
shingle roof and encircling balcony,
stood on a corner with windows on
two streets. 1t was built upon a slope
so sharp that the balcony, which In
front skirted the second story, in the
back was on level with the sidewalk.
The bright light OF gas-jets, under
shades of fluted white china, fell over
the contents of the show-window.
They were not attractive. A dish OF
old and shriveled oranges stood be-
tween a plate of tamales and another
of re. Td green peppers. There were
many flies in the window, and, chilled
by the cold, they stood along the in
side of the glass in a state of torpor.
Berry pushed open the door and en-
tered. The front part of the place was
used as a grocery store and had a short
counter at one side, behind which
stood shelves piled high with the
wares demanded by the Mexican and
Spanish population. Back of this were
the tables OF the restaurant. The pow
erful. aromatic odors of the groceries
blended with the even more powerful
ones of the Mexican menu. The room
was close and hot. In a corner, his
back braced against the wall, a Span
lard, with inky dark hair and large
expanse of white shirt bosom, was
picking at a guitar.
Berry knew that there was an inner
sanctum for the guests that preferred
more secluded quarters, and walked
past the counter and between the
tables. An arched opening connected

Run a Walking Stick Farm.

OF the many curious farms that have
been established in our peaceful coun-
tryside, surely walking-stick arm
is the most curious, relates London
Answers.
AS a matter Of fact, however, there
is at least one such establishment, a
fourishing concern, TO be found In the
depths of Surrey. Instead of the corn
fields, pasture land and root crops usu-
ally expected on a farm, the walking
stick acres present the appearance of
long, neat rows Of tiny sapling trees,
some four years old, others younger.
Quite forest of walking sticks may
naturally be produced in four years,
but the handle occasions some delay.
To obtain a right-angled handle, the
growth is pegged down along the
ground and from this the sapling
shoots vertically upwards

The man, with soft and careful foot

nearer he saw that she was not using

wall. He had reached the sidewalk
when the door opened, vouchsafng
him a bright, unimpeded view OF a
long flight of stairs carpeted in green.
Berry entered and for a moment. be
fore the door closed, he saw her
mounting the stairs. She had not
asked for any one, or indeed made a
sound OF greeting or inquiry. She
was therefore either expected or an
habitue Of the place. When the door
was shut he, too. mounted the porch
steps and read the number on the
transom. He whispered it over sew
eral times, the light falling out on his
thin, aquiline face with a sweep OF
dark hair drooplng downward toward
his collar.
Satisfied with his investigation, he
left the porch and walked rapidly
down the street TO the corner Here
there was a lamp. and hating under
its light he drew from his pocket a
leather wallet and took therefrom
Dominick Ryan's card with an address
written on it. The penciled numbers
were the same as those on the door

fixedly at the card, an expression OF
excitement and exultation growing on

The waiter moved away and the
man behind the curtain, as II satlshed

later he heard the scraping Of chair

for her bill. He lifted the paper and

necessary for him to hold his head at

about the room. He threw a side
