A husdand and wife ran a freak show in a certain provincial town but unfortunately they quarreled and the exhibits were equally divided between them, said The Kansas City Star. The wife decided to continue business as an exhibitor at the old address, but the husband went on a tourAfter some years' wandering the prodigal returned and a re conciliation took place, as the result of which thev became business partners once more. A few mornings afterward the people of the neighborhood were sent into fits of laughter on reading the following notice in the papers: "By the return of my husband my stock of freaks has been oer manentlv increased.'* Auditors Notice The Auditor's office will be opened for the assessment of Personal Property from January 1st, 1915, to February 20, 1915.

Pl If you expect to hatch chicks by the hundred, an Incubator is almost a necessity. The hens required for this * would be worth more to you for laying than the Interest on the machine and the oil. Then the advantage of having ad a large flock of the same size 1b a time D1 saver In caring for them and an in- u centive to buyers when It Is time to make Bal?. s. 8V Consult your neighbors on this point and secure as many catalogues as pos- ai sible from the various Arms. Valuable pointers will be picked up from both B* sources. It Is poor economy to get a m cheap incubator, unless you can be assured that It does good work. Eggs 88 falling to hatch or chlcke which are not up to the average In vitality are M always serious losses. The best facilities for hatching are none too good. Do not hurry the eggs Into the ma- ni chine until you have had It working for you at least one day under perfect di control. If It has been used before, wash out .tie egg chamber, trays, etc., with a Ave per cent solution of creollne as a safeguard against bowel b] trouble. Use only the beet of oil, trim ei the wick daily, and follow as closely as possible the directions which ac- at company your machine. tv Never trust to eggs bought at a a neighboring store. They will probably be a heterogeneous collection, and of gi uncertain age. If chilled, the value for di hatching Is greatly lessened. There is some one in almost every neighbor- w hood with a well graded flock of the ra breed you prefer. Hunt that person ol out and get her to furnish th? nnmho* required, even if you have to pay her a cent or two a dozen extra for being bt able to vouch for their good quality, hi and for wrapping each in a piece of cl paper when packing. Thie latter pre- m caution not only protects from chill, M but from Jar in transit. pi CATCHING FOWLS MADE EASY m Excellent Device May Be Constructed Out of Barrel Hoop and Netting a1 From Old Hammock. S. ol "Who has not seen the farmer, his ?' wife, the hired man and one or more ** children engaged in the exciting chase al for the chicken which is to bo served T for the family dinner?

An' old hammock makes a fine net for 4? this purpose. The net should be about SP an bu ^ F1 Handy In Chicken Yard. ^o do two feet deep. Lay It down, mouth up, put a few grains of corn on top, sit pretend you are looking the other way, no and when a chicken steps on the net wj to pi< k out the corn, lift up suddenly, th tip it slightly to one side, and you afi have the fowl safe. If you are particularly expert the net may be tw dropped down over the bird. thi MILK IS GOOD FOR POULTRY N( Chickens Intended for "Friea" Qaln Rapidly When Given Lacteal Food PJ" With Some Grain. th Milk cannot take the place of meat, as it is not sufficiently concentrated. hence the hens could not drink enough ^ of It to supply their wants. If a gill pe of linseed meal is added to a pint of milk, and the inilk then used for mix- ro' ing ground grain, it will largely asslet a8 in providing a complete food. Milk should be given in vessels which will ^ prevent tilth from getting into it, and vessels cleaned daily. Wheat is a standard food for poul- "B try, and farmers have contented them- j,' selves that grain is sufficient, but It ^ has been demonstrated that when B fresh milk has been given to chicks *? Intended to be sold as "fries" the gain, when milk is added to the grain ra- ar tion, is nearly twice as much as when * grain alone Is used. If milk can be conveniently given to laying hens, .. larger profits will be derived by thue in utilizing the waste products than by reeding It to the pips, ae skim milk and buttermilk contain nearly all the elements of food, the eggs are more easily prodi <1 by hens fed upon such ? food than .? they are not otherwise provi.._il, and every farmer *n should allow the hens a share of the skim milk and buttermlllk.

J ? # opyrlght. 1914. by the McClure, Newspaper Syndicate.) 1 Harold Winter* and May Evan* ere engaged. Harold Winter* was a portrait . klnter. May Evan* was a sculptor. They both had studios In the same lllding, and they both boarded with' e same landlady. All this would not have attracted i much retention as a raise In th< Ice of dill pickles but for the facl at tbay were always In a quarrel. \ What they quarreled about and whai irprlsed all their friends was a fea> re of crime?mysterious disappear^ ices. They would read in the papera at a girl was sent to the store or arted out to her work, and had been Isslng for two days. The earth had fallowed her up. She was not dlw Ltlsfled with her home life and had id nothing to depress her. Thet lss Evans would deduce: "Some villain has kidnaped her." "She has been coaxed Into an elopeent" "She went to Coney Island and was owned while bathing." "She was killed by an auto." Mr. Winters would deduce: ^ "Very likely the girl was^ a&flsed other girls to assert her lndfependice. "She may have been invited to stay ; the house of one of them while the ro of them ran around together for good time." 5^ "In two or three days the missing rl will walk into her home with a ifiant air." Once In a while the missing girl as found drowned, but it was So ire, and Mr. Winters was right so ten, that there was hardly a peaceil day In the week for them. One dnv the owner of a new studio illdlng called to ask them to Inspect Is new apartments with a view to a lange. Roth were satisfied to renin where they were, but of course llss Evans had a curiosity to see the lace. Without a word to any one \e set off. and' after a street car de of a mile she reached the place, he Janitor was out. She went to the top floor at once, id she was immediately Interested, he had looked about for a quarter an hour when she attempted to pen a door which she found locked. ' was a spring lock, however, and fter a moment she had It oD?n. I here wan a large closet at the reaf r the suite, and It had no windows, he was wondering what It waa degned for, and she stepped In as she ondered. V puff of wind from an ^opelV^v w closed the door on heft and the ring lock did the rest. She -pttpbed d battered and kicked and shouted, t nothing came of.it. "I deduce that It will be afternoon morrow before I am released," said e girl as she sat down on the "floor, called Harold an Idiot this motnS, and he will deduce from my ahnce that I have gone home with ora -Day to stay all night Just to ther him. I lore Harold, but he es vex me with his deductions." Although their studios were side bv le Mr. Winters and .Miss Evans did t always walk home together, and It is only when she did .not appear at e dinner table that she was asked ter, "I saw her on a Vine avenue car o hours 'ago,'* said a young man. Mr. Wla'ters went to the club at eveiftng. At midnight ho-qnlt his lllards and made a beellne for homo. > Miss Evans yet. "Look here.

Something must have hapned her this time." And Mr. Winters sat dowr In his om with pipe In mouth aud?deduced follows: "Now, then, what happened forlng e day? A little row. Mr. Billiard lied. Mrs. Davis called. The owner the new studio called. He wanted to look them over. We didn't go. i! I didn't go, but didn't Miss rann? The card Is at the studio. If e wint what cotild have happened her?" At three o'clock In the mornlna the tlflt led the way up the stairs of e new studio. When he came to the iked door he paused a moment. "Only an empty storeroom!" growled e Janitor. Yes, only an empty storeroom with Isb Evans asleep in a corner! "Your heels are not too long," said r. Winters as she sat up and rubbed it eyes.
