j Poultry Letter'j Mr. Editor:- , The Poultry World of last week contained such an excellent article intitled "Does Farm Poultry Pay," that I decided to give your readers the benefit of it. It clearly ex presses what I would have written. Th? article is by A. E. Vandervort and is as foMows: "We often hear some of ohr farmers say that their poultry does not pay—that they get very few eggs in the summer and none at all during the winter. If you will take the trouble to in-! vustiga+e the flocks of these farmers vou will cease to wonder that their poultry does not pay them. It te.ras strange that the average far mer who will take good care of his cows, hordes, pigs and sheep will let his flock of poultry shift foi them-elves, autf not fnrnis'i them very much to shift on either. Us ually their house is an old shed in too poor a condition to keep ati>- thingelse in leakv roof, cracks in the side for ventilation, some old poles for perches, perhaps, not cleaned out once a year; a good breeding place for lice, but a poor place for poultry if you expect it to pay. Then his flock is mongrel breed all sizes, shapes and colors, and while this same farmer will take particulat pains to get the best "blood possible tn his cat tie and other live stock, he never thinks of improving the size or laying quality of his poultry s»s he should. Then for feeding in the summer, it is shili for themselves. This will probably do when the flock has p'enty of free range, but in the winter it is about the same thing with corn added as the principal diet. No water except occasionally when they happen to think of it, but usually snow is good enough, and when there is no snow, go dry. Is it any wonder that this farmer's poultry does not pay? Now change this plan aud take •care of your poultry as you do your other stock, and sie how quickly they respond to good treatment and become the best paying property you halve oh the fann. If you have not time yourself, turu them over to your wife, daughter or boy. Furnish them a good warm build ing where they can be kept clean; use judgment in feeding, give a variety of all kinds of giain, not too much corn except at night in winter. Have fresh water before them all the time —you will be sur prised to see the amount of water they will drink, give them the .scraps from the table aud green vegetables chopped fine occasion ally. The small potatoes boiled make an excellent feed for a change. Keep plenty of grit and oyster shells where they can got to it easjly and a little charcoal also. Try this plan for a while, keep an account of all expenditures and re ceipts, and we will guarantee that your poultry will pay. Don't keep poor stock. It does not cost any more to feed a well-bred stock of Wyaodof.es, Plymouth Rocks, tint will way from seven to ten pounds •each when matured, than it does to keep a .scrub that will weigh from four to five pounds each. Sell the old stock for what they p Wood's Descriptive Q Fall Seed Catalog now ready, gives the fullest information about all Seeds for the Farm and Garden, Grasses and Clovers, Vetches, Alfalfa, Seed Wheat, Oats.

At this season you can buy first class stock very reasonable, and now is the time to make your start. Remember that poulyy does pay. The figures for the industry in the United States are almost beyond belief and seem incredible. Many poultry men have incomes from $5,000 to $20,000 annually and still many think poultry does not pay. They will return more for the amount inv#«tel than au}' other stock kept 011 the farm." "UNCLE MCADOO " / Why We Are Stronger. The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made the muscles of the men stand out like cords. As a matter of fact we have ath letes and strong men—men fed on fine strength making food such as Quaker Oats—that would win in any contest with the old Roman or Greek champions. 2 It's a matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, muscle and nerve is fine oatnteal. Quaker Oats is the best because it is pure, no husks or stems or black specks. Farm era' wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Oats they get*the best results in work and economy. If you live In a hot cli mate buy Quaker Oats in hermetically sealed tins. It keeps sweet and fresh. Jury List for September Term of Superior Court Robersonville Township: J. K Congle'on, VV. W.

It was a sad day for Euiery Blatcb ford wheu Fauule Ellsmere told blm that she was eugaged to Tom Ed wards. Aud the girl who had choseu between these two young uieu did uot choose wisely. Edwards never got on while Blatchford. having one of those cheery dls|>ositlons that wiu people continually, found friends to drop plums into his uiouth. And so it hap penod that while the former was spending „ what little his wife had when he married her the latter was prospering. One year when the fall elections came round the managers of the party In power, fearlug ihey would lose t lie fight, looked about for candidates who would be especially acceptable to the people. Among those they selected was Emery Blatchford. who was put up for sheriff and elected by nu over whelming majority. Now. it happened tbatn year before this election Edwards had died, leav ing his widow uot only penniless, but with a chattel mortgage on her house hold effects, for the payment of even the interest on which there were no funds. One of the first duties devolv ing upon the newly elected sheriff was the serving of a writ upon Mrs EtVwnrds, which would deprive her of her only remaining possession, her furniture. When Blatchford came across I his paper he sighed, put H tn a 'pigeonhole, where, If he bad had the power to keep it there. It would have remained till the crack of doom Indeed he paid no further attention t" it till the plaintiff in the case made such an ado about the delay that the sheriff was obliged to serve the writ. lie gave the paper to a deputy, but before the man had reached the door called him back, lie couldn't bear that the unwelcome process should !>• enacted without being softened so far as possible. And to whom could h* trust such softening but himself? Put ting the document Into his pocket, he waited till after office hours—indeed till a proper hour for calling in the evening, then went to the widow's col tnge. lie was received with some sur prise. Wheu he bad last-visited Mrs Edwards she was Miss Ellsmere and had told him that she was engaged t his rival. Blatchford beat about Hi bush for (ui hour he £QgU' britig himself to mention the all lm portant subject, Then he saldj "I presume you know that judgment has been entered against you In the matter of the notes secured by "thavtc mortgage on your furniture?" "Yes; I had no money with which t even try to save what I have left.' she replied, wiping a tear from he eye. "And you may know," the shell proceeded, "of the attachment I liat for you." A sudden checking of tears, a move ment Indicating that something lmp ) tant had cnught the widow's nttentl followed the sheriff's remark. "I knew." she replied hesitating!.' "that youfciad 1111 attachment for nu but—but I was not aware that It ha' endured." "The attachment I have for you." h said gently, sympathetically, "Is dlt ferent from the one which you met' tlon. It Is a more practically Impor tant one. An attachment that"— lie was stalled. The widow essayed to help him. "1 can understand," she said, "the difference between the—the feellug one might have for a girl and that same feeling after all that has Intervened between then and now. 1, too. have come to understand myself better." The sheriff. Instead jt opening his legal document, opened his ears, to say nothing of bls> eyes. This, how ever. the widow did not see since her own eyes were bent on the floor, while her ears were strained to hear the ex pected declaration. Blatclrford could uot feel any certainty that he was either understood to be entering upon a proposal or that. If so, he was en couraged. lie resolved upon one more to make clear the business OP which he had come. "This word attachment," he IHT U —"this word attachmenKlias dlffcreti' meanings. It is at once a legal tor. and"— "I know." she sighed. "I mean, too, a condition of ti:• heart. My attachment for you is ; warm, as deep, as unalterable as i ever was. Give me the right to *tati" as your protector." Blatcbfo/rt took her unresisting forte into bis hrins, where she rested I: happy contentment for some tiuc without shaking. Finally she looked up luto his face and said: "I>o you knotv that wheu you begin to talk about the word attachment having a legal meaning, for a moment 1 was seized with an idea that you, be ing sheXff"— "I being sheriff?'" "You having spoken about the hor-. rid suit." "Welir ' "That yeu were talking about that." "How could you suppose." he replied, drawing her closer to him, "that 1 would have auythlug to do with that matter unless, perhaps, to bring yon some good news concerning it?" "What good news?" , "W-why, the plaintiff will renew the note." „ , "For what reason? "It will be Indorsed." "What's that?" "ICa tbe result of ftae 'attachment' 1 to you nbout." V ooa a a | FREE!
