but to obtain much surer start with high-cl fowls of pure bl eeding. This plan is also economical from the stand point of cash expenditure.
 Another plan for beginning is to buy direct from reputable breeder 15 or % frst-grade young birds. 4 to 6 months old. One thne has the services of these high-class bisds for several years and can develop a very uniform flock
 Another plan is to buy day-old baby chicks and thus start with a young flock, and follow them through the trials of their whole existence
 A fourth plan is to buy eggs, either enough for one sitting Q5) or enough Cor an incubator 600 and up). These last two plans are only desirable where the pur- chaser possesses considerable experiences both in poultry breeding and manage ment
 And remember, above all, that success full chicken raising requires cash, cour- age common sense and constant care
 Cash, because from the beginning there is a continual outlay for feed. You may figure that it will cost considerable to feed your birds. If you can grow on your own home place part of this feed so much the better and the cash cost will be decreased.
 Courage will be required because the disappointments are many and often seem to completely overshadow the gain. Even under the best conditions. disease, ac- cidents and other unforeseen troubles will result and the proportion increases with the size of the flock
 Even in the face of apparent failure. which is part of every chicken raiser's experience. it pays to hold fast to fun damental purposes and not be pulled away by the vagaries and fancies of the moment You will always be able to find someone who will prove absolutely that policy ~is' wrong, and that you should change from a meat breed to an egg breed or vice versa. But if you look at it from the standpoint of com mon sense you will not be swerved from your oricina1 purpose

An other way to clean the feathers is 10 place them in cheese cloth bag and wash them in warm, soapy water, fol- lowed by several rinsings in clear water Feathers should never be placed in the sun.

So never throw down water in such case Milk may be used to extinguish the flames, if 1t is at hand, but perhaps the best thing for this purpose Is to thrown down sand, earth or flour; one or the other of these is sure to be available.
 : Baby Clothes-When making babys short clothes mothers will find it big saving if they do the two following things: Make the neckbands of the dresses a trifle larger than necessary. then draw very narrow tape through. and when making the sIeeves ont +herp little longer than required and sew two horizontal tucks below the elbow. If this Is done, as baby grow older and his :it- tie arms lengthen. the tucks can be let out and the. string around his neck need not be tied tightly. In this way the little dresses will last much longer without being 0utgrown.
 Under Bed Chest-Jn bedroom where space Is limited or closet room Is too small to accommodate all the clothing one wishes to keep within each reach, an under-bed chest will be found very convenient storage place where 1t Is out of the way and yet easily reached. For general use such chest can be four feet long. two feet wide and eight or 10 inches deep Thin boards can be used In it's construction. which hardly needs any detailed description beyond tho sixes given. The lid should be made fast with three hinges and handles provided at the front 50 that 1t can be drawn oiIt from under the bed. Four or six small castors attached to the bottom will enable 1t to be moved easily.

To succeed in the poultry business one must expect to begin at the bottom and work up. Most of the failures in this business, and there have haen many, have come from overlooking this essential feature. Some people tnlnK they can start in the middle, and even at the top. They buy 500 hens, figure on 300 eggs day for 300 days in the year and count out 90.000 eggs annually. This gives the tidy little sum of $2250, figuring the aver ago price received for eggs at 30 cents per dozen. Such calculations look watl enough on paper and work out all right the r sieally, put they do not succeed practically. Somehow discrepancies will creep in.
 Now if you are planning to raise poul- try you will want to buy quality rather than quantity. A dozen pure-bred birds will give you more returns-and joy than 40 or 50 scrubs. If you are raising chickens in your back yard, use care in the purchase and buy from reputable breeder who raises his birds under these same conditions. If you are starting d farm flock, buy farm-raised pure breds. If possible purchase from your own vi cinity and thus. obtain strain already acclimated. If this is not possible. pur- chase from as similar a location as pos sible.
 There are several good plans about pur- cHASlHS tnlS new HOOK or pure DreuS. One plan that is often followed with suc- cess is to purchase from a well-known breeder birds that are 1% to wears ,'d. Often these are the finest of his flock, yet because they are old and only good for one more season. can be obtained very inexpensively
 In other words, you only buy these birds for their eggs, expecting to hatch enough chicks during the spring and summer to start yOur own flock and lxiil- off. the old sirdss when they have servAd tNe purpose. This method will not only give you chance. through studying the ,ld hiras. to note their breed characteristics.

The Chinese Ambulance

From the Popular Science Monthly
 One of the reasons why the people of the occident are generally disposed to agree with Bret Hart that "the heather Chinee is peculiar" is their unusual method of handling the sick For in- stance, their ambulance Is certainly a strange conveyance. It is of wicker bas- ketry of the same type as that used for carrying pigs and poultry to market
 Crude as this type of conveyance seems no rubber-tired automobile could travel with less jolting. The carriers work in relays. going slowly. and resting at intervals.

This treatment preserves the shades and makes them last for years.

To Be Given a Try-Out

A meeting for the purpose OF consider
ing giving permission to the Chrysotile
Company of Lowell to run their caterpil-
Ter engine and traileTs over the roads of
Hyde Park and Eden was held at Hyde
Park last Friday. The selectmen of the
two towns, together with the Hyde Park
village trustees, were present; also State
Highway Commissioner Bates and FL. M &.
Mcintosh of Burlington, civil engineer.
The engine weighs about five tons and
the trailers eight tons each. With the
engine there will be three trailers. Mr.
Ferla, vice president of the Mines, stated
the permission asked for and said that
any time there was dissatisfaction the
permit could be withdrawn. After much
discussion and many interrogations it
was decided that there should be trial
of the engine and cars, which will be CIV
en- in a short time A further hearing
will be held in two weeks. While there
is some objection to granting the request
on the ground that running the outfit
over our roads would be a damage to
them, it would seem to be but fair that
the outfit ought to be given try out.
