James Discouraging Pencil.

Jane in the dumps. She admitted some
thing was wrong. but wouldn't tell me

ing fortified me with ham and eggs, top

announced that she had been taking stock
of her adventure into poultrydom, and
found the figures far from encouraging
Before she got busy with her pencil
she had spent several hours treating
baby chicks for the gaps. About twenty
of them had been standing around
gasping as if each breath would be their
last We had tried the horsehair scheme
OF angling for the gap worm with only
Indifferent success. Jane hoped she would
be more successful with treatment rec
commended by neighbor. Gaps. 1t per-
haps should be explained. are caused by
parasite that attaches itself to the
lining of baby chickens throat Unless
removed. the worm will remain there
and grow until 1t chokes the chicken
to death. Following the directions of the
neighbor. Jane put the afflicted chick
ems several at a time into box COW
cred the box with cheese cloth and
through this sprinkled fine air-slacked
lime. the idea being to make the chicken
sneeZe and free it of the worm. The
plan was huge success, so far as
making the chickens sneeze. but 1t seems
to have worked cure in only about
30 per cent of the cases.
The time it took and the unpleasant
ness of the job got James mind onto
chicken troubles. and she began to figure
up what she had to show for all the
work and worry and expense of the past
three months A count showed that out
of more than 300 chickens Matched there
remained alive that day just 1872. The
others met their deaths in various ways.
Out of one hatch forty died the first
week. and though none of the other
lots showed so high a rate of mortality
there always were a good many deaths

A Fortune in Succotash.

II Jane can can 1t successfully, SO that
It will taste in mid-winter as it does when
you eat it out in the country in August,
she ought to make fame and fortune from
that one product alone. Once let the
folks up around Dupont and Sheridan cir
Giles get a taste of real country succo-
fash, and they'd be coming out to our
place in automobiles begging for the
privilege of paying a dollar quart for it.
James canning program also includes
fruit jellies and preserves. We haven't
a great deal of fruit on our own place,
but there is plenty of it out In this coun-
try and as it promises to be good fruit
year it ought to be cheap. There are
bushels of wild black berries to be had for
the picking and Jane has contracted with
the boys to pay 10 cents gallon for all
they will bring her. There ought to be
good profit in jelly made from berries at
that price and ! limited to Jane that she
was rather taking advantage of the boys.
Her defense was that it was to be a
profft-sharing venture and that this was
merely a means of giving theboys share
of their profit in advance so that their
enthusiasm might not Wane. It's pretty
sound reasoning. at that Even groWn-up
people find it hard to work when the pay
is to be deferred to some time in the
distant future
1t is apple butter. though, that Jane is
looking to for real profits in her canning
business We have several apple trees on
our own place and neghbor who has a

sold next winter at fancy prices. She
sent away $40 for a home canning
outfit and intends to follow scientific
methods. Her plan is to put them up
in good quality of glass jars with
glass tops and make them SO ATTRACTIVE
in appearance that first sales will be
made on sight, depending on the
kitchen range flavor to hold trade at
prices considerably in advance of those
charged for the output of canning fac
tories. The foregoing is para
phrase of the language in the cata-
logue of the firm which manufactures
the canning outfits, and it certainly
listens good the boys say.
1t isn't to be doubted that a trade for
home canned vegetables would be profita-
BILE, provided the canning could be done
so that the vegetables would keep and
have a distinctive flavor. 1t would save
the necessity of trying to grow large
variety and nothing would need go to
waste Jane plans this year to try to-
matoes. lima beans and two kinds of sue
cotash, one of lima beans and corn and
the other of green snap beans and corn.
She'd like to try peas, but We'll be lucky
this year to have enough peas for our
own table. Peas are a cool weather crop
and I was so late getting them planted
that I expect the bulk of them will get
caught In such hot weather that they'll
do little good. They say a combination
of corn and beans makes the most diff
cult of all vegetables to can, and / know
the canned succotash you buy at the
stores is a mighty poor imitation of the
real thing.
