TIPS FOR THE
POULTRYMAN

Chickens and fruit make combi-
nation hard to beat. Plum trees do es-
pecially we'll in the poultry yard.
Chickens are benefit to any ORCH
ard. There are heard complaints that
fruit trees did not do well In the chick
en- yard, but in every case the owner
of the yard had set out trees without
regard to their suitability for the To-
cality.
A man who Is willing to buy fruit
trees as he would lumber need not ex-
pect to get good results anywhere. The
purchase of fruit trees is matter for
study and Investigation. Find out from
the Deighbors what varieties Of apples,
pears, plums, peaches and cherries do
well In your locality. Then choose a
reliable nurseryman and take his adj
vice on varieties and location. Ask
your college or the horticultural de-
partment. A man who doesn't know
what varieties to buy and says so. will
get the benefit Of the experience Of
those who know. Whereas, a man who
doesn't know and will not admit, Is
not likely to be satisfied with his plant
ing, and IL he has planted In the chick
en- yardfwlll find the chickens handy
as a scapegoat.
Chickens are a by-product on most
farms. For that reason, 1t Is some
times best to have colony houses al
together for summer use, and move
the chickens where they can pick up
the most food. A permanent poultry
house requires yard room of 30 feet.

Reverses as Business Man
Credited With Making Mark
Twain a Successful Writer

Mark Twain's failure as business
man is said to have made him great
err writer, instead Of having discour-
aged the humorist In his work. 1t
was In 1894 that his publishers
crashed, after having published 1.-THE
Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" and
''The American Claimant" The first
work was a success. but the second
met with reverses. When the pub
fishers found themselves In difficulty
they saddled the whole burden on
Twain, and he took 1t without MUIR
muir.
Had he not failed In business
Twain might have been content to
rest on his laurels. Instead he went
about paying his debts. His tour
around the world was undertaken
expressly for that purpose. 1t was a
very successful tour, crowds turning
out to hear the famous American.
A product Of his tour was Follow
Ing the Equator" which was finan-
cial success. Having abandoned his
desire to become a business man he
then settled down to writing. In
1896 he published "Pudd'nhead VIII
son." and "The Personal Recollec-
lions Of Joan Of Arc" came out in
1897. His critical essays and auto
biography" were noteworthy pro-
ductions, written In different vein
than his works before he devoted
his entire life to writing.
Twain always hated sham or pre-
tense. He was lover Of the frank.
open-hearted man, which explains his
great hold on his public.

Songs of the Club Workers

All the lads must spade the ground;
All the girls must hustle 'roundl
All together In the chorus:
Over there, over there;
Send a word, send word. over there.
That the lads are hoeing. the girls are
sowing.
The crops are growing everywhere.
Each a garden must prepare;
Do your bit. so that all OF us can share
with the boys, with the boys
Who will not come back TIL It's over.
over there!
Their fresh young voices-ah, IL all
vegetables were as fresh-die away In
the distance. But from over the hill
another group Of boys approaches.
You know they are pig club boys, for
to the tune of "Row. Row, Row Your
Boat" they are singing
Grow, grow, grow a pig
Fatter every day
Merrily, merrily, cheerily cheerily;
Half our work is play.
And here comes some rosy-cheeked
girls, all dressed up in white aprons
and snowy caps, and everything-they
catch what the boys are singing, and
they reply:
Can. can. all you can:
Can and put 1t away.
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily:
Half our work Is play.
Close behind them are some sewing
club girls, and now they are singing
Sew, sew, sew a seam;~
Sew the time away.
Merrily, merrily. cheerily. cheerily;
Half our work Is play.
And over In that field, can those chill
dren be the Little Bo-Peeps and Little
Boy Blues Of today?
No; nothing Mother Goose-like about
them; nothing but the Sheppard
their song:
Little Bo-Peep.
Come raise some sheep:
And you do II, too,
Little Boy Blue.
So 1t goes with you In the shade Of
the old apple tree, listening to the
club boys and the club girls as they
tell in song the merits Of their respec-
tive avocatlons. And then, just like
in a show, they all troop back again,
and, like the grand chorus In an opera,
to tune you recognize, this rises:
There were club boys on the hillside,
There were club boys on the plain,
And the country found them ready
At the call for meat and grain.
Let none forget their service
AS the club boys pass along.
For, although the war Is over,
They are singing still this song.
The chorus comes like a cataract:
Keep the home COW milking.
And the club corn silking;
Tell the idle boys and girls
To work for Home.
There's a club pig growing.
While the grain we're sowing
Boost the club work night and day
Till we Live at Home"

OF course. the poets ami writer's of

that does not conduce to song.
But there are farm songs, and farm
ing songs. The country heard a. lot
of them last fall when volunteer help
ers went out from the cities to help
meet the situation created by heavy
yields and few harvesters. Most of
that singing was done on the way to
and from the fields, but 1t was pretty
good singing, anyway. And then there
are songs heard mostly at farm bu-
reau meetings and the like. All that
sing when they want to is to hear a
dozen or a hundred of them Join in
this, using the tune Of "Old Black
Joe:"

Youth, however, Is the springtime Of
life, and springtime is the season when
the human family, and the birds and
the locusts and the organ grinders,
seem most disposed to make a more
or less harmonious noise. Therefore,
1t is among the farm youth in the
springtime of life that you will find
the most singing Of and at their daily
tasks. The boys and girls Clubs, or
gf.nized under the direction of the
United States department Of agricul-
tire and the state agricultural col

Down the road comes a bunch Of gar

light of achievement in their eyes.
They are singing, and the strains are
the same as in that "Over There song

gained his old-time form.
Cleveland has been generally picked
as one of the contenders for the Ameri-
can league pennant this season. The
only apparent weakness of the Indians
in the before-season dope was the
pitching staff.
With Morton in form to help the
ever-consistent and effective Stanley
Covaleskie, Cleveland looms up as ex-
tremely dangerous. In fact, the club
that beats the Indians should win the
flag.

1776, the delegates from New York
felt some difiidence In voting, as they
had no instructions. Wisner, however,
did cast vote In favor of independ-
ence. and before August 2 New York
had instructed her delegation to agree
to the Declaration.
There was a hearty response when
1t became known that signatures were
to be appended to the document Sam
uel Chase of Maryland was absent
from congress on July 4 and the next
day he wrote from Annapolis to John
Adams, "How shall transmit to- pos
terity that l gave my assentT On
the ninth Adams replied, "As soon as
an American seal is prepared l con-
| lecture the Declaration will be sub
scribed to by all the members, which
will give you the opportunity you wish
for of transmitting your name among
the votarles, of independence"
Elbridge Gerryvof New York had to
leave Philadelphia two weeks after
the Declaration had been adopted. and
he wrote TO John and to Samuel Ad-
ans, "Pray subscribe for me ye Dec
laration Of Independence II We same Is
to be signed as proposed. I think we
ought to have we privilege when neces.
sarily absent of voting and signing by
proxy"
OF the signers who did not vote for
the Declaration because they were not
members at that time William VIII
liams of Connecticut was not elected
until July IL; Rush, Clymer, Smith.
Taylor and Ross of Pennsylvania were
not elected until July 20. Charles Car
roll Of Carrollton. as well as Chase,
was attending a meeting of the Mary
land convention on July A. George
| Wythe of Virginia on the same day
was chairman of the committee of the
whole of the Virginia convention, and
Richard Henry Lee was In the conven-
ton. having been compelled to return
from Philadelphia on account Of sick
ness in his family, having left on June
13. william Hooper of North Caro-
lima was absent from Philadelphia at
least as late as July 8. Yet all of these
members signed the Declaration, al
|
shown, were not even members at that
time, and four members were absent.
Thomas Mclean Of Delaware was
the last to sign and did not do so until
Ave years after the adoption of the
| Declaration and at time when the
war virtually was at an end. 1t was
through no fault of Mclean. His name
was omitted from the printed copy In
the journal.
The popular traditional idea Of the
signing of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence presents 1t as graceful and
formal function taking place July 4.
1776. in large, handsomely furnished
chamber in Independence hall, Phila-
delphia. To give the necessary touch
of vivacity to the picture there is the
scene of the small boy darling from
the door as the last signer sets his
autograph to the parchment and dash
ing down the street, calling to HIS
grandfather to "Ringl Oh, ring for
liberty" <
As a matter Of fact the Declaration
of Independence was signed behind
| locked doors. The city was not breath
Hlessly awaiting the event outside, nor
did the Liberty Bell peal forth on that
day the triumphal note Of freedom.
From these facts 1t appears that the
Fourth Of July" might with good rea-
son have fallen upon either July or
August 2 instead of upon July 4.

the Articles Of Confederation and the
Constitution-all of which he was In
strumental In preparing.
The committee elected Jefferson
chairman and instructed him to make
a draft of declaration. The com
mittee submitted it's first draft June %
July the congress adopted the res
olution presented by Lee and resolved
to take further consideration on the
morrow. On the third the commit q
had not finished Its labors, but on July
1t presented completed draft to the
body, and after long debate, which
continued until the night, the con-
gress adopted the Declaration of In
| dependence. After the committee of
the whole had debated the paper for
hours Benjamin Harrison reported to
congress that the Declaration of indie
pendence had been agreed to by the
committee Of the whole. The paper
was again read and ordered printed.
The Declaration was committed to
the printer, Dunlap, Immediately, and
the broadside was ready on the fol-
lowing day, July 5. when 1t received
the signatures Of John Hancock and
of Charles Thomson, president and
secretary of congress, respectively, au-
thentlcating the copy to be forwarded
to the governments of the thirteen
states. The signatures were followed
by the words: "By Order and In Be-
half Of the Congress-"
Copies of the broadside were sent
| to the various states and to the COM
handing officers of the continental
troops. 1t is not certain that each of
these bore the signatures Of the pres
ident and the secretary.
On July 10 1t was ordered that the
Declaration passed on the fourth
should be fairly engrossed on parch-
ment with the title and style of The
Unanimous Declaration of the Thlr.
teen Unitel States of America and
that the same, when engrossed, be
signed by every member of congress-
On August 2 the journal records
that "The Declaration of Independ.
ence, being engrossed. and compared
at the table, was signed by the mem
bers."
AS to the signatures to the Decla-
ration, volume might be written
The common understanding Is that the
fifty-five men whose names are ap.

July 4, 1778, and asserting to the

far from the truth.
