Tim sighed, and well he might. The
good old days were gone, indeed.

ordinances, the police had pushed the
old cab stand further and further

Ready had been obliged to make their
night stand at the present corner

fare came along. There were some
exigepcy midnight calls from doctors,
the hospital, or some belated con-
vivialists.
Tim had grown and hardened in
the service. Ready was dropping and
grey. The hack had seen both its
best and it's worst days. There was
a family of four at home. Tim knew
nothing but driving hack, so he was
fast going down hill with a failing
business.

The broody hens should be thor
oughly busted with insect power when
set and again two or three days be-

room if possible. The nest boxes
should be roomy, with fine hay or
straw as nesting material Water and
grit should be provided and whole
corn is the only grain needed by sit
tiers. When the matches come off the
twentieth or tWenty-frst day, each
chick should have drop of sweet
oil dropped on its head to avoid lice
from the mother. They should be
busted frequently during the first
eight weeks. Early in the season ten

hen, and later a hen may care for
