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.'*

HATCH CHICKS BY HUNDRED (*c
incubator la Almost Necessity Where
Large Flocks Are Wanted?Get w
a Good Machine.
(By ELIZABETH PUTNAM.) 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

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.

EMPTY STOREROOM :
By JOHN. PHILIP ORTH. 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. Winters," aald a boardwho
had just come In, "you deduce
Ings, don't you?"
?Va? T V- M
* cDj * nmto uuae bo.
"Then you'd better get to work on
In case. Mine Winters la steady as
e clock. 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.
"Then you are not a fool," eho
tiled.
An Example.
