J | Copyright, by C. H. Sutcliffo J \ Joslah Preston always had been of a despotic disposition, but hte natural tendency in this direction seemed to strengthen after bis remunerative experiments in poultry raising. Joslah's mind apparently held bat one thought?bit boos. Tb* earth was 1 made for the sole purpose of providing them with a scratching ground. The sab rose to give them tight and warmth; night followed day that they might have time to rest When Flower Preston, Joslah'g only daughter, came borne from boarding school, and her father dlsoovered by diligent questioning that the words incubator, brooder, trap nest bone cutter elicited no answering enthusiasm, he grunted sarcastically, "A gal that's been to boardin' school for three years and don't know a leg band from a bone cutter r "You must learn about things as soon as you can, dear," whispered the mother nervously. "If you can't talk poultry talk with your pa you might just as well be in the desert of Sahary!" "There's one comfort," .continued Josiah; "I ain't raised the only fool there is in this county." "There, there, pa," Mrs. Presfon spoke soothingly. "What is the matter?" "Squire Curtis' boy got home from collige fother day, and what do you think, instid of studyin' law so's to help his pa, he's been studyin' bugs. Four years 111 couige, ana aon t snow a iiitng but bugs!" "Maybe his pa wanted him ta," re-marked Mrs. Preston pacifically. "Waal," harshly, "I can't crow over Squire Curtis none. His boy don't know nothin' but bugs, and, as near as I kin figger out, that gal don't know nothin' at all. The only advantage is it took her a year less to learn it!" When young Curtis began calling at the farm, which he did with suspicious promptness, Josiah's cup of misery was full. "For the land's sake," he exclaimed testily to his wife, "can't you go in there and set?" indicating with his thumb the room from which came the sound of young voices and laughter. "You let that gal git boys and bugs * inter that slim brain of hern and she won't be good for nothin'." "There, there, pa. don't talk so loud. You didn't want my ma to come in and set when you used to come to see me." Josiah's face purpled; he clutched at his collar b'and as if he were choking. "You don't mean"? he gasped. Mrs. Preston nodded. "Don't take it so hard, pa," she murmured soothingly. "Jim Curtfs is one of the likeliest young men, and"? "I could stand it better If 'twan't for the bugs," be moaned feebly. "If he didn't want to be a lawyer like his pa, why didn't he take up somethin' sensibler than bugs? What good is a bug? Bugs?millions on 'em?couldn't hatch out-one chicken I" "Hejs studying bees now, pa, and they're good for honey," appeasingiy; "he has ever so many hives?newfangled ones?in his pa's back yard." Josiah only groaned. "And, pa, it's all arranged, only I said he'd have to be old fashioned enough to ask your consent, and Flower. like a good girl, said she'd never marry anybody without her pa's consent That's a good deal nowadays, pa." Perhaps it was because of Josiah's reputation for irascibility, perhaps because the young man felt that he could express himself more satisfactorily in writing, that his formal application for the consent of the autocrat reached Josiah by mail. The old man read the letter several times, groaning and grunting. When he rose there was a grim smile on his race and a look of determination in his keen gray eyes. This was on Thursday. In the evening Mrs. Preston reminded him? "Aren't you going in to see Jim, pa?" "Dunno's he's callin' on me," testily. "But you?his letter"? "I ain't in no hurry to answer It I'm makin' up my mind." A similar reminder the next evening met with a like rebuff. But on Saturday evening Josiah did not want to be reminded. He marched into the "best room," carrying a small basket, and displayed its contentstwenty large eggs, fair and beautiful, to the astonished young persons. "There, young man," he growled. iucic 19 ill) uusnci. iiuw nwu from tonight, if you bring me fourteen chickens out'n them twenty eggs, I'll give my consent." "All right, Mr. Preston," returned the young man, easily, "I shall be on hand." "Pa Preston," cried Flower, indignantly, "Jim doesn't know anything about chicken raising, and"? "Time he did, then," sharply. "He'll have a chance to show what four years of science is good for. And any little thing he don't happen to know you can learn him," and /with a sardonic chuckle the autocrat tramped out, leaving a greatly perplexed young man and a dismayed, tearful^girl. "He knows you can't do it," she sobbed. 'Three weeks from tonight." Good thing he gave plenty erf time," observed Jim. cheerfully. "Plenty of time!" echoed Flower despairingly. "Why, Jim, don't you know that twenty-one days are required to hatch chickens?" "Well, I'll buy a hen on my way ^ ! home and put her right to work," with twinkling eyes. "There's very little chance of your being able to get a sitting hen," gloomily. "Is that a particular breed?" innocently. "Jim Curtis! Don't you know that you must have a hen that wants to sit? You can't make one hatch eggs if she doesn't want to." "Well, I can buy an incubator," undauntedly. "You'd be four or five days late by T./.M /um,M niu1a> nna nnH liara LUC UU1C J VU WUIU VI UCL vuc uuu uu ? It skipped here. And tomorrow is Sunday. Oh," she cried understanding^, "pa had it all planned?that's the reason he wouldn't see you until tonight" **f know, Flower," with sudden inspiration, "1*11 make an Incubator. Come out and 6how me one of your father's, so I may get an idea of the principles involved. Come!" Slightly encouraged. Flower led the way. Meeting her father, she asked coolly: "Have you any objections to my showing the incubators to Jim, pa? He's going to make one to hatch those eggs." Preston grinned. '"No objections. Xot in the least. Go ahead! Show him all about 'em, and teli him everything you know. 'Twon't I burden his brain none. He might put the eggs into cold storage while he builds the incubator." I On Tuesday of the third week the [ autocrat remarked sarcastically: "I saw Jim this morning, Flower. I told him if he brought the chickens I'd annmmop thp pn?nfrpmf>nt in the countv ^aper an' give you $300 for weddin' folderols." Flower set her red lips in a firm, straight line. She had not inherited all her characteristics from her submissive mother. . "Lend me your pencil, pa. I want to make out a list of wedding folderols." Saturday evening came, but Mr. Curtis did not appear. "Where's the bug professor, Flower?" asked her father tauntingly. "He's wrapping the chickens up in cotton so they can't take cold," retorted Flower spiritedly. The old man smiled grimly, but the smile died away as Curtis entered the room. "I'm a little late, Mr. Preston," he said cheerily, "but here are your birds." He handed the autocrat a flat wooden box, which the latter opened with trembling fingers. He removed a sheet of cotton, displaying a number of fluffy, sleepy, peeping chickens. "There are eighteen," remarked Jim carelessly, "four more than you asked for, but I put them all in for good measure." "Them chicks didn't come out'n the rxJLKTll luua^, uc uc^iaicu ?v x iu wu t *v tion. "No," answered Jim quietly. "They came out Thursday/' Josiah gazed at him in actual consternation. "I hope, Mr. Preston," courteously? "I hope there is no doubt in your mind that these chicks came from the eggs you gave me?' Josiah shook his head mournfully. "No," he said slowly. "They're all right. I know the strain." He sat in silence pondering over the mystery. " 'How doth the little busy Improve each shining hour,"' suggested Curtis, smiling. "Bugs are good for many things, Mr. Preston." The autocrat sprang up excitedly. "Jumping gingerbread!" he exclaimed: "I'll bet a dime you hatched them eggs out in the beehive." Jim laughed pleasantly. "I surely did, Mr. Preston. When Flower showed me the incubators three weeks ago tonight, J observed that the temperature was similar to that in my beehives. I verified this on reaching home by placing a thermometer in a hive. So I put the eggs in the upper section of the hive, separating them from the working apartments of the bees by a cotton cloth. I was posftlve they would hatch, but you may imagine my surprise when they began chipping the shell in nineteen days." "I guess I'll put 'em in a brooder," said Josiah, recovering himself somewhat "These chicks has cost me $300 ?too expensive to be allowed up dissinfltln' this timp in thp nicht" He bore the precious peepers away, muttering wonderingly: "Bugs! Hatched by bugs! And two days ahead of time!" Later the autocrat announced in the county paper the engagement of his daughter to the "brilliant young scientist James Curtis." Told Her Woes In Song:. A stately woman of middle age was telling her troubles to a younger woman as they were on their way to an employment agency. "I have had all sorts of servants," said the stately matron, "and they have done all sorts of queer things, but the colored girl I have now embarrassed me so last night that I really didn't know what to da My dear, I was so angry I could have cried.

His talk was very interesting to ail who are interested in better farming. The average farmer of today is not in sympathy with the principles that are taught by these scientific and upto-date farmers, but the methods that that they are advocating will have to come and the farmer that learns them and puts them into ^practice will be the successful man. .
