lay 90O-feet from shore. Between

successful in direct proportion to the
study and labor which are expended
upon it. There is an abundance of
good material on the subject, but
Backyard Poultry Keeping (Farmers'

United States department of agricul-
ture, contains all the general direc-
tons needed to make a start. 1t tells
how to overcome the objections to
keeping poultry in the city, what kinds
of fowls to keep, the size of the, flock
computed according to the size of the
back yard, gives definite instructions
as to the best kinds of chicken houses
TO build, with bill of materials for
same, directions as to feeding the
fowls, Matching and raising chicks, pre-
ventiOn of diseases and many other
matters essential TO the success of the
undertaking. Another helpful bulletin

the British officer, remarked that he

resourceful, and unaffected in danger,
taking his daily hazardous duties as

their welfare, that inspired the utmost
confidence in them. It is no new pic
