MUST GULL PULLETS FREELY
Fowls, to Be Profitable, Should Reach
Laying Maturity Before Severe
Weather Sets In.

The farmer who would increase the
profits of his flock must Gull his pull
let's vigorously. One reason why fowls
are Improbable during the fail and
winter months is that too many runty.
weak and undeveloped pullets are win
tered. To be profitable, the pullets
should reach laying maturity before
settled cold weather begins If they
are not fully matured before cold
weather they will rarely lay until
spring.
The pullet that begins to lay in the
fall may be depended on to be good
all-year'round layer. and if no profit
is realized from the flock during the
fall and winter months, it is because
the fully-matured, laying pullets have
to support too many drones-old hens
and immature pullets.
All pullets that lag behind those of
the same age in growth, should be
marketed as soon as possible.

"Bet you!" retorted Peter Laidlaw,
and SO wager was made and re-
corded
Il was going to build on my property

sci.
Good want you for neighbor."
One morning Jacob Bissel picked up
his telephone receiver and called a
number.
Paul Everett's pleasant voice re-
sponded.
This is Jacob Bissel," said the mag
nate rather pompously; Il wish to
consult you concerning the plans for
my new country house at Button"
Whereupon Mr.. Bissel was referred
to Everett's secretary, who advised
the irate gentleman to call at the Of
fees of Everett & Co. at 1880 that aft
ernoon.
Exactly at 435 Mr. Bissel painted
into the handsome offices of the young
architect and was informed by a polite
secretary that Mr.. Everett had just
left for the day.

"It is Abs, sir; Mr.. Everett never
waits for anyone"
''The-young puppy!" chortled Mr.
Bissel as he fumed away.
But the next day he made another
appointment and kept it, and found
Paul Everett most exasperating
young man to deal with.
And in the end, for no essential rea-
son, Paul refused to consider accept
ing Bissels patronage.
"A most unbusinesslike proceed
ing!" roared Jacob Bissel, as he
stamped up and down his office. "Ill
never build that house until he makes
those plansi"
So he wrote curt note ana asked
Paul to call at his Office the next morn
ing, and when Paul came, cool and i'm
perturbable, he still declined to accept
Mr.. Bissels business.
II am not accustomed to being
turned down, Mr.. Everett" ragged ia
cob Bissel ''Is it a matter of money!"
Paul shook his handsome head
s'It's rather a personal feeling" he
said with engaging frankness. you
see, my uncle used to know you, Mr..
Bissel, and he never liked you-had
some old business grudge, in fact
Don't you think that's excuse enough
for declining your business?'

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as taey cannot
reach The diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to.cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
ditlon of the mucous lining of the
Eustacnian TUBE. When this tube is
inflamed YOU have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to lis
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused b. Catarrh which is MOTH

LOCAL MAN INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Henry Schwarz, of this city, re-
ceived his second injury almost with
in the same week, when he was
thrown from an auto while riding
with Frank Bayless last Sunday af-
ternoon. The trouble was caused
when Mr. Bayless lost control of the
machine and it pitched madly out of
the main road just this side of the
Hager bridge. Mr.. Schwarz fell with
his full weight upon his two hands,
breaking his right wrist and badly
spraining his left. One shoulder was
also badly bruised.
A few days ago Mr.. Schwarz barely
missed death when II heavy door in
his slaughter house fell down on him.
From the results of this accident he
had not fully recovered, only to meet
with the second one, which resulted
more disastrously. His injuries were
attended to by Dr. Allison and the in
jured hand is slowly mending. The
machine was taken to the garage for
repairs, one front axle being badly
bent
