among those present. When Walsh
does not use his splitter it means he
is not in form, for the damp delivery
is his long suit.
Headwork was all that enabled Ed

worked the batters as much as he

over it was easy to hit. Whether
Walsh will be in his old-time form

B. c. Welch has demonstrated
the possibility of the town man
raising poultry successfully. His
poultry farm covers an area of a
little less than a quarter of an acre
on which he raised 1900 ducks and
400 chickens the past season. He
expects to double this next year.
Nine old ducks supplied eggs from
which 500 ducklings were Matched
from eggs he paid from so cents
per setting up. Mr.. WEIGH finds a
ready market for his ducks when
about ten weeks old. The first lot
sold he received 81 90 each and
after that each ducklet sold for
never less than SO cents and the
majority of them brought rs cents.
He disposes of his chickens when
they reach the broiler ege, and at
fancy prices. His fowls are all
Matched in incubators and the old
hens and ducks have nothing to do
but lay. He began with the Indian
Runner variety, but soon discover
ed his mistake and switched to the
old reliable Pekin, and declares he
will stay with it. He has a model
little poultry farm and is making
arrangements to double his capaci-
ty next year.--Elsberry Democrat

The Farmer and His Fair.

One trouble with county fairs is
that there are too many spectators
and too few exhibitors. The peo-
pie who really make a county fair
are the men and women and boys
and girls who enter into the spirit
of the competition and take some
of their products with them when
they 90.
There is no farm that does not
have some product that is not
good enough to show at the local
fair Encourage your boy to fit a
colt or a calf for the county fair
and if necessary 90 with him and
see that he gets it properly entered.
You will be surprised to see how
interested he will become. 1t mat
tiers little whether he wins or loses,
the very fact that he has tried will
make him a better boy and give
him a new outlook on farm life.
The same thing is true of the girl.
A loaf of bread or a sample of sew
ing may win her prize or it may
not. Certainly it will give her
something worth while to be in.

There is no better way to en-
courage the children to take some
thing to the fair than to set the
example yourself. The farmer who
