cheapest way is, of course, to begin with a sitting of eggs, or perhaps two or three, and work up gradually from that.
 ItNis a common saying that there is more in the feed than in the breed" This is very true, for any breed, prop erly fed and cared for, will be sure to give good returns, if the strain is good. And right here is where the caution should come in. In buying fowls for the flock, do not be satisfied with any thing but pure-blooded fowls. Nearly everyone has some prefer ence, either of size, color or other qualities, and there are none of the standard breeds but what have much to recommend them. So if you wish to keep Brown Leghorns, or Buff Orpingtons, or Black Minorcas, you ! will be perfectly safe in doing so, no matter what someone else may say in favor of other breeds. But when once you have adopted a particular kind, stick to it.
 When you are selecting your fowls, | insist on having nothing but good, young birds. Throw out all the old hens; they have seen their best days. Before you try to pick out your fowls, study up well on the character istics of the breed you have chosen. If the hens are to weigh five pounds. standard weight, see that yours come | pretty near to that weight. Read everything on the poultry question that you can get hold of. Do not be afraid of being called "chick- en crank" or "hen granny" When people want good stock, they always go to some chicken crank" to get l it. It is good advertisement for your business to show that you are | wholly interested in it.
 Watch your flock. Experience is what counts. Get acquainted with
 your hens. They will soon learn to
 know you, and there are no finer pets
 or more profitable ones. than ten ol
 a dozen handsome hens.
 A well-kept flock of hens means
 steady income enough to keep you 1T
 spending money while you are wait
 ing for your crops to grow. That one
 thing is enough to recommend poul
 try keeping as suitable side line
 for the boy farmer.

FIND OUT The Kind of Food that will Keep You We'll.

The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then culti- vate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc.
 A conservative Mass. woman writes:
 "T have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sick ness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested.

Doc Hero Saves Little Girl.

Little Elsie Perry, daughter of c. l.. Perry of Wilson, N. C., was saved from the fangs of a rabid dog by the bravery of nondescript dog, the property of MT. Perry, and the con- stant playmate of little Elsie.
 While playing in front of her home the little girl was attacked by large dog, which came running down the street. Her playmate, much smaller than the attacking dog, threw himself on it, and battled grimly, until the little girl escaped into the house. The canine hero was terribly bitten in the encounter, and when it was learned that the strange dog had rabies the hero had to be shot, as physicians said it was certain he would go mad He was buried with the highest hon OrS.

 There is no part of farming more fascinating to the average boy than the care of poultry. At the same time. there is no branch that offers him a better chance of success. Even a very small boy can manage small flock of chickens successfully.
 It does not cost much to get started another item in favor of the poultry business. The equipment need not cost much, and, in fact, most of the needed GOODS and fixtures can be built by almost any ambitious boy with very little expenditure outside of his own work. Then small outlay for eggs, or trifle larger one for stock, and he is ready for business.
 There are several ways of starting flock. The best plan is the one that best suits the pocket, the circum- stances and the time of year. The

BIG RETURNS ON SMALL LOAN
Joe Connolly Receives $10,ooo for $50
 Advanced to Semi-Pro Player Who Bet on Boston.

Renewed agitation against gam bling at ball parks and on the results of games has brought out a story by a Chicago sporting celebrity, who quotes Frank Schulte as his authority. He says a young semi-professional player named Jake, who hung around the Boston Braves clubhouse, Dor rowed $50 from Joe Connolly very soon after July 4, when the Braves made their wonderful spurt.
 As soon as he got the loan, Jake started betting on every game in which James and Rudolph pitched. He

speedily ran the $50 into a fat sum. When the Braves landed the National league flag Jake had good stake, but said nothing about his winnings.
 It was something like 100 to shot that the Braves would not take four straight from the Athletics, but Jake grabbed all the alluring bets that were offered. He stood to lose every cent he had accumulated, but luck was with him all the way, and when the series ended he had $25,00O to his credit at the bank.
 He felt deep gratitude to Connolly for making his fortune possible, and gave him check for $1O,000. Connol. ly did not know what to make of it and consulted Stallings, who told him 1t was all right. ~- '' p

 Germany is contending for her right to destroy and pay for the Frye under the Prussian-American treaty of 1928. The United states denies the right to destroy the ship.

Fred Roy and Party of Friends Have Marrow
 Escape.

What is considered to be a mira on the Meriden road last evening about 11:3O o'clock, when a five-pas- senger Reo touring car, owned by Fred Roy, the Main street restaurant proprietor, went down twenty foot enbankment Strange as 1t may seem none of the occupants was injured
 MT. Roy was driving the car at the time and with him was his wife, Mrs. Theberge, Miss Della Theberge and Joseph Theberge9 of Chestnut street. The party had been to New Haven on a visit with Fred Beloin and family during the day.
 According to Mr. Roy's story, he was driving at moderate rate of hill outside of Mertden, the rear wheels skidded on the wet pavement For minute he succeeded in ksep- ing the machine in the road Sudden ly, however, the back of the car shot to one side and crashed into a feucc, demolishing it. The car shot down ward to the bottom of the hill rear end forward When it struck the base of the hill it darted ahead and crashed into a tree which brought 1t to standstill
 The occupants were thoroughly frightened but escaped without a scratch. The car did not fare so well as the rear was badly smashed and the top was also injured
 MT. Roy in discussing the matter today with reporter, said 1t was the closest call he had ever been in and considers himself very fortunate in escaping.
 A singular coincidence regarding the accident was learned of today when in discussing the accident with Mr. Beloin, a reporter heard from him that during the night he had a dream that some friends of his had been in an accident, and great was his concern today on learning of the mis- hap as to the safety of his guests of Sunday.
