WHY is POULTRY VALUABLE?
Professor Gilbert OF Canada Gives
Eight Good Reasons in Answer
to Pertinent Question.

Why is poultry valuable to the
farmer? is a question asked by hun
dreds of tillers OF the soil who usu-
ally keep but a few chickens, and
these a mixture of al breeds. Profess
sor Gilbert of Ottawa, Canada, gives
the following reasons in answer to
this pertinent question:
/. Because he ought, by their means
to convert great deal of the waste Of
his farm into money in the shape Of
eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because, with intelligent manage
ment, they ought to be all-year reve-
nue. producers, with the exception of
possibly two months during the moult-
ing season
3. Because the poultry viii yield him
a quicker return for the capital in
vested than any of the other depart
ments of agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house VIII make a valuabls
composite for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves, if allowed, will destroy all in
furious insect life.
5. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in Ger
tain sections, poultry can be raised
for table use or layers Of eggs in any
and every part Of the country, and
at all seasons.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment ia which the farmers wife
can engage and leave him free to at
tend to other departments of farm
work
Z Because it viii bring the best re
suits in the shape Of new-laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has the most time on his
hands.
8. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires very little capital

Yes, my son, replied his father.

brilliant writer the other day.
Did you happen to read it, too?
It was about a woman who
lived down behind the tracks"
in a country town. She was a
woman who Haunted the streets
in a gorgeous hat and expensive
gowns. She wore bangle brace
let's that jingled and rings that
sparkled, and high-heeled slippers
and open worked" stockings,
and the men grinned sheepishly
when she passed. and nudged
each other, and the women looked
the other way and pretended they
didn't even see her
One day the woman from "be-
hind the tracks" bought house
uptown and moved into it-a
neat, pretty little house, with a
garden and trees, and she dug in
the flower beds and watered the
lawn and put out hanging bas-
kets, and she went to market in
little checked Bingham, and she
looked wistfully over the fence
when the neighbors went by, but
nobody ever spoke to her at all.
One night a baby was taken
sick in the neighborhood and the
woman from behind the tracks"
saved its life. The next day she
stood out on her porch and wait
ed to see the baby's mother go by.
And the baby's mother went by
and did not see the woman from
behind the tracks AZ all, and
the woman from behind the
tracks" went and sold her
little new house and the
garden and all, and went
back behind the tracks" to live
and all the people in the village
pursed their lips and said, she's
gone back-they always do"
What Did She Expect?
Good story. wasn't it, and
good slap at the narrow mind
ed little mother, who wouldn't
make friends with the woman who
had saved her baby's life?
We need a few such slaps as
that, we women; and yet
wonder what the woman from
behind the tracks" expected
when she bought the pretty lit
tie house and the garden, and
went to live among decent peo-
pie?
Did she think they would get
out the band and meet and greet
her at the doorsteps, or what?
You choose your friends be-
cause you like them, and like
their kind-not because somebody
else thinks you ought to like
them.
If the woman from behind the
tracks" had come to the village
from somewhere else and no
body knew a thing about her, do
you think the neighbor women
would have liked her anyhow? l
don't.
She wasn't their kind; never
was, never could be. She be-
longed to a different world, and
every time she turned her over
blended head and every time she
opened her good -humored, too
easily pleased mouth, and every
time she laughed her rather
coarse laugh, she would have told
what she was, and no woman of
any fineness of perception could
have been mistaken in her for a
minute.
No, l don't mean what she had
been. That isn't what would con-
Germ a kindly woman who was
trying to decide whether she
wanted her for neighbor or not.

easy going, blunt-hearted per-
son to a gentle. delicate, lovely
woman, does It? 1 don't believe
1t.
A Lesson From Home.
Once had a MAZDA strange.
silent, stubborn girl with blue
eyes, so hard that they were like
a flint. She had a strange, meas
ured walk and a strange, con-
trolled voice, and she always act
ed as If she thought some one was
watching her.
One day saw her in a blue
print dress. of peculiar cut and
shade, and l knew-she was a
reformatory girl I'd seen her
before, at the reformatory
l didn't say a word. I treated
her exactly as had always treat
ed her, but one day she was gone
and she left letter for me. In
it she said many things. One
of them was this: You know
me; don't you? I believe you
do. l thought I could be differ
ent, but l can't. You've been good
to me, but l amt happy here.
1 amt comfortable, so I'm going"
and gone she was. back to the
people with whom she was com
Portable" poor thing. Back to
the people who were like her and
who had her ways and her point
of view. l was sorry. but I didn't
go after her or try in any way
to reach her.
Perhaps l should have-Ive
often wondered-and yet there
were the children. Would it have
been exactly safer"
Self1sh-protecting my children
at the expense of a poor thing
who was trying to make herself
over.
Perhaps; but those children are
mine. They are my business. 1t
is my affair to keep them safe
as long as I can. My own door
step l must keep clean, and then
If / have time and strength
may help my neighbor about
hers. That's the way it looks
to me 1 wonder if am right or
wrong?
What You Really Are.
The poor thing from behind
the tracks" didn't belong in the
neat little street uptown. She
was no more in place there with
her loud laugh and her bleached
hair than the timid little woman
who lived beside her would be
in place in the ranks of march,
ing army. l don't blame the
neighbor women for looking the
other way. Honestly, now, l don't.
And the high-heeled, expensive
slippers and the open worked
stockings and the gorgeous hats
and the flashing rings-she had
had all these things while little
neighbor turned her blue cash
mere and trimmed it with black
velvet one year and with cream
colored lace the next, trying to
make herself look pretty to the
one man, she loved. How could
the poor thing from behind the
tracks" think she would never
have to pay for all that?
After all, though, it isn't what
you used to be that counts. 1t
isn't what you would like to be,
either; but what you really are.
and no change in dress or in
housing or anything else will
change that. l wish it would.
How pitifully l wish 1t would.
