Dear Sister;
Well according to promise I will
try and ell you something Of Seattle
Seattle Is located on what Is
known as Elliot Bay-an arm OF
Puget Sound, and Is the unity seat
OF King County. and the New York
OF the Northwest. It is the gateway
TO Alaska and the Orient
The first pioneers landed on what
is known as Al-ki point in 1852. but
later moved around on the east side
OF the bay and here today stands
the heart OF the business section Of
one Of the greatest cities OF the
country. An ever living monument
10 the early pioneers. one OF whom Is
s;ill living In the city.
The city is located on almost an
island; Pudget sound on the west
and Lake Washington on the east.
The home builders had to go north
and south OF the business section to
find room for their homes making,
the city cover an area OF rs miles
long north and south and from 4
to miles wide. east and west.
The city is built on hill or series
OF hills slipping up from the waters
OF the sound on the west and Lake
Washington on the east.
D The business section is located on
the water front and covers some IS
blocks.
The Avenues run north and south
beginning at the water front and go

and will be, an ever-growing demand
for good poultry and eggs.
America is forced to import large
quantities of these foodstuffs every
year, which might be produced at
home at saving to the consumer and
profit to the producer. The adver-
Using of secrets and systems has been
the prevailing rage in the poultry
world for some years past. Some
of the methods may be comparatively
unknown, but for the most part they
consist of rules of management quite
familiar to experienced poultry rails
ers, although they may be told in a
new way or with slight changes of
detail. Beginners may profit by some
of them, but the experienced poultry
raiser knows that, outside of few
laws of breeding, there is nothing
really mysterious about the poultry
business.
Although yet much to learn, one
system claims unheard-of results on a
small plot of ground and with hardly
any capital. Some tell how to make
every hen produce 200 eggs per year.
The modern hen is vastly superior to
the jungle of ancient times and twen-
tieth century methods of poultry
keeping are far in advance of those
employed by our forefathers, but it
still takes our best hens a day to
make an egg, and most of them re-
quire two days, while the cost of feed
ing flock of fowls, and the time and
labor involved in caring for them have
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-07-17
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

not been lessened to any remarkable
extent. The fact is that there is no
process, secret or otherwise, which
will make a hen remarkably produc-
tive, outside of careful breeding.
Good care and proper feeding, housed
in proper kind of house, are still
the main points to be considered.
The secret of telling the laying hen
was thrashed out some years ago in
the press. When a hen is laying, her
pelvic bones, located directly under
the vent, are spread apart the width
of from one. to. four fingers. When
she is not laying, only one or two
fingers may be placed between these
bones. Thus one may tell which hen
is in laying condition and which is
not; but one cannot tell in the case
of the first hen how regularly or how
long or how many eggs she will pro-
duce. The only sure way to tell the
laying hen and how many eggs laid
in given time is by the use of the
trap nest. But even the trap nest
cannot forecast which hen will be a
producer nor can any secret method.
AS a purely business proposition,
speciality poultry raising should not
be taken up without preliminary ex-
perience and an understanding of the
business. There is no mysterious
knowledge that one cannot grasp to
make success of poultry. 1t is an
open book to all who will observe and
think. But the beginner should real
ize that poultry on a large scale is
really a business and a big one at
that. 1t has been said that any one
can raise poultry, but it is not true
that all can raise them with the bal
ance on the proper side of the ledger.
Those that have failed with every
thing that they have undertaken and
take to poultry as last resort, are
very apt to fail again. One cannot
find a failure that could be justly
blamed on the little American hen.
There were in the background indi-
vidual circumstances that have
brought about the unfortunate re-
suits. Careful study and a willing
ness to work out the problems, coupled
with good business management, will
always bring results and profits.

and Tuesday the 26th and 9th. A
reaction to cooler is expected to fol-
low after this storm area with the
barometer rising to normal condi-
tions.
By the middle of the week another
storm area is expected to be moving
over the Rocky mountain region.
With this storm area there will be
renewal of severe electrical storms
and high gusty winds following the
advance heat this storm area is ex-
pected to bring. Heavy showers
amounting to cloud bursts in central
sections of the continent and Atlantic
sea-board are also probable.
These storms of wind and rain are
expected to effect the Mississippi val
ley from Thursday the 29th to the end
of the week and month reaching the
Atlantic coast about the first of
August. Following these storms the
barometer will rise much higher and
fair days will come out of the west
at the close of the week bringing with
it north winds and cooler temporal
lures.

TWILIGHT STORIES For LITTLE FOLKS
By Paul Leake

"He has claws like hawk, horns on
his head, and when he opens his
mouth fire comes out of it," said the
nurse. "He always comes around at
night looking for little boys that are
not good and who don't go to sleep
right away"
The child said nothing, but Ben saw
he was very much afraid. Into bed
the poor little rich boy crept and
when the nurse left he lay sobbing
and calling in a low voice, MAMA,
Mama," but Mama was down stairs
with the ladies and supposed her little
boy was sound asleep by this time.
Through the power of Ben's good
angel, who stood beside him, he saw
the vision of the Bugaboo as outlined
in the mind of the child. 1t was a
terrifying picture and the child
shivered and drew the covers over
his head.
Ben stepped forward to give battle
to the shape, feeling no fear, and
when he tried to grasp the horrid
thing he found nothing but air.
"You see," said Ben's companion,
chat this Bugaboo is nothing but
imagination. 1t only exists in the
mind. You are always safe because
you are in the hands of God. When
ever any terrifying thoughts trouble
you, just know that you are pro-
tected."
They went down stairs and Ben's
companion whispered something into
the ear of the boys mother. Excus-
ing herself to her company she went
up stairs, took her child in her arms
and soothed him to sleep after telling
him there was no truth in what the
naughty nurse had said.
"You see, dear, we guard little
children" said the lovely woman as
she babe Ben good night at his own
door step.
MAMA" said Ben as he put his
little arms around her neck, 81 know

the dark"

Ben and the BugabOO.

The last gold and purple tints had
faded from the sky and over the land
there crept the shadow of darkness.
Ben found himself long way from
home on the edge of a big city. The
electric lights began to pop out in
the darkness twinkling like stars and
casting fantastic shapes upon the
sidewalks as the night bugs flew
around the globes. Where he stood
was in complete darkness and the
frogs were croaking in nearby pond.
He felt very much alone and began
to tremble with fear. What it was
he was afraid of, he could not tell.
Then he began to cry.
"Why, Benz came a sweet voice
out of the darkness. Don't you know
you are not alone?"
Though he could not see the person
who spoke Ben felt comforted and
dried his eyes on his sleeve. Turning
around he saw standing in dim, soft
silver light beautiful woman dressed
all in white. 1t looked like his mother
There was the same love light in the
eyes, the same tender expression
around the mouth. She placed one
arm around his shoulder and the ter
ror of the night fled from him.
"Come with me Ben, and you will
never again be afraid in the dark"
Coming to a great big house Lit
up from top to bottom they passed
through the door, down a wide hall,
and up two flights of broad stairs.
AS they passed the drawing room Ben
saw a number of ladies beautifully
dressed. One was at the piano sing
ing. Up stairs they entered a room
in which a nurse was undressing a
boy about six or seven years old, just
about the size of Ben. The furnishing
of the room were elegant, but there
were tears in the eyes of the boy.
The nurse was not cross but she was
telling the child about a big "Buga-
boo"

Then the construction of the drag is
