One morning before Snowfall went

Midnight to him in the barn ana

Il want you to sit right here In

for mice. II you catch one you Will

eyes open every minute and you will
have to stay here and not run about.
And II you do not catch one In few
minutes, that is not sign there are
not any mice about"
Midnight sat down in front of the
hole. "Will have to stay here long?'
he asked.
Until you catch a mouse" Snow
ball replied. And you never will
learn to catch them IL you do not
watch closely
SNOWFALL rode away with his mas

After a while Kit and Puff came
into the barn. Come over here.

Snowfall told me to sit here" Mid

carefully"
you may not catch one II you do
watch" said Puff. Come over here
and be comfortable" But Midnight
remembered what Snowfall had told
him and remained in front OF the
hole, for he was very grateful to Snow
ball for all his kindness. and wished
to please him.
BY and by II was dinner time and
Kit and Puff started toward the house.
Are you going to sit there all day ?"
asked Kit.

Midnight, looking with longing eyes

SNOWFALL told you to watch that hole?

But Midnight would not be tempted

cheapest way is, of course. to begin
with sitting of eggs. or perhaps two
or three, and work up gradually from
that.
IL is rommon 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. IL 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 IL 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 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.
II 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
it. II is a good advertisement for
your business to show that you are
wholly interested in 1t.
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 or
dozen handsome hens.
A well-kept flock of hens means a
steady income--enough to keep you in
spending money while you are wait
ing fer your crops to grow. That one
thing is enough to recommend poui-
try keeping as suitable side line"
for the boy farmer.

state in providing state aid for public

5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000

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.
II does not cost much to get started

business. The equipment need not
cost much. and IL. fact, most of the
needed coops and fixtures can be built
by almost any ambitious boy with very
little expenditure outside OF his own
work. Then a small outlay for eggs,
or a triHe larger one for stock, and
he is ready for business.
There are several ways of starting
flock. The best plan is the one
