PROFITS FROM THE CHICKENS
No Place Where Business Can Be
Made So Profitable az When Con-
Quoted as Side Line on Farm.

Specialized poultry farms are be-
coming more numerous each year. In
many cases these are paying good re-
turns on the money invested, but their
effect on the supply Of eggs and
poultry for our large markets is but
as a drop in the ocean. It Is for the
small focks Of so to 300 fowls upon
the farms as side line that we must
depend for our supply Of poultry prod.
ucts In the future as in the past, writes
Prof. P. G. Holden in the Farm and
Home Poultry Annual. No other
branch of agriculture is represented on
SO many farms. The census for 1910
shows that SO per cent. of all farms
reported keeping poultry.
In no case can the business be
made so profitable as where II is con-
Quoted as side line Of general farm
ing. 1t is possible to allow chickens
to range through many CROPS that are
grown on the farm without damage to
the crops and by such practice secure
double returns from the same piece
Of land.
Orchards or corn fields are ideal for
this purpose and II the presence Of the
chickens in them is beneficial rather
than detrimental, as they will destroy

The first question man asks when
he sees girl flirting Is whether she is
respectable girl or not. You see how
it raises doubt at once. This being
the case, surely no modest girl can af
ford the slightest degree Of this pas
time. When the down Is brushed from
a peach the beauty is so marred that it
can never be restored, and so when Il
Young girl throws lightly aside that
sweet and modest reserve so becoming
to maiden, and which SO elevates her
and enables her to command the re-
spect of all, she loses her greatest
charm and becomes rather common
and cheap, TO use no rash term. Flrt-
ing may seem to the giddy and thought
less CIR. to be wonderfully amusing,
and she may even get an idea that she
is quite fascinating, but it is u most de-
grazing thing and should be frowned
upon 10y every young lady who has an
ambition to become worthy and
charming woman.

TIE KEYNOTE OF HAPPINESS

TH f. KEYNOTE OF HAPPINESS.
How few women realize when they
are railing against man-his faults and
dehciencies-how largely they have
themselves to blame for the masculine
failings. Tie men who make bad hus-
bands, nine times out of ten have had
weak, querilous, irritable mothers, and
the women they marry, as rule, con-
tent themselves with resenting the
fact of their shortcomings without ma
king any strenuous efforts to rectify
them. So history repeats itself, and
the sons, like their fathers before them
growhpin atmosphere filed with bick
erings and dissensions. How can great
and good men be the products of such
lives? The sooner that women awaken
to a thorough understanding that the
keynote to all family happiness is har
mony, and that it devoIves upon them
alone to establish that harmony, there
will be more heard of domestic felicity
and less of the new woman Every
man, no matter how viciously inclined,
ciiugs To his ideal wher he can find
one, and il is surprising how they some
times manage TO defy the ruost ordl-
nary of feminine mortals. II each and
every woman would determine to be
worthy of dedication 10y the man she
loves, that man (were he rightly-so-
calIed,l would be inspired by her ex-
ample, and the desire to rise to her
level would soon find place in his
heart. We don't say that this is an easy
part for woman 10 play, but surely 1t
is better than being content TO slip
down OF the pedestal that man would
place us on, and insisting upon being
made of no finer clay than he.-EX.
