The First Cradle.

The earliest mention in literature of
cradles is in the Biblical account of
Moses little ark Of bulruShes. But
there are in the British museum some
clay tablets found some years ago on
the site of ancient Nineveh which. aG
cording TO archaeologists. make it
quite clear that somewhere about
1000 years before the Christian era
there was another infant hero exposed
in a little ark Of bulrushes. Thus the
cradle that was found by Pharaoh's
daughter 1900 B. e. was comparatively
modern.
1t is certain thst cradles were first
used as a means OF protecting babies
from the attacks of wild animals by
suspending them from the boughs of
trees. -London Globe.

SELLING OFF FARM POULTRY
Tendency on Part of Some Farmers to
Market Chickens on Account of
Price of Grain.

With the high price of grain there
is tendency on the part of many
farmers to sell off their poultry. They
think it will not pay to feed high
priced grain to hens. Here is just
where they make big mistake. Eggs
have gone up in value also. Some of
the dealers, however, have not adj
vanced their prices as much as they
should, due partly to the fact that they
still follow old practices in buying and
selling.
1t is a mighty good plan to sell off
the surplus cockerels, the late pullets
and hens over two years old. Good,
sound yearling hens that have shown
some capacity for laying and all we'll
matured pullets should be kept over.
The surplus stock can be sold at a
profit and the better-class fowls will
show larger egg production if given
suitable care.
Farmers who sell off all their fowls,
thinking that they will save big feed
bill and be able to buy young chicks
or Matching eggs next spring, may be
disappointed. They will find n bigger
demand than usual for Matching eggs
and chicks and as a consequence may
have to wait weeks before their orders
are filed.

GEESE ARE SELF-SUPPORTING
Little Grain Occasionally, With Ade-
quate Water Supply They Yield
Handsome Profit.

Geese come as near being clear prof
1t as any stock raised on the farm.
Geese make their living largely on
grass and are practically self-support-
Ing. They do not require a large pas
ture field, but one that produces a good
yield. Add a little grain occasionally
and you will have no trouble raising
geese.
They only require water for drink
ing purposes, same as hen. They are
louise and mite-proof, are seldom sub
ject to any kind of disease, and hawks
seldom prey upon the young goslings.
Some complain that a goose is a nui-
sance; so are hogs If they are not con-
fined to their pasture. Large num-
bers of geese should be raised every
year.
