TWINS HELD CRYING MATCH Boys Adopted Ruse Whereby They Sought to Compel Parents to Qlve Them Their Qlfta. ?' ? . ? ' V ? .4# The editor of a publication devoted to humor once told an Interviewer that the best sort of "funny stuff ' was the spontaneous utterance of a child ? a remark with which all fon<l parents will coincide. Made by man, humor is prone to be machine-made, but the humor of children ia unin tentional. All of which leads up to an Incident chronicled by a father recently. b ? There are two children in the fam ily ? two boys. They are twins. Every year they have received sweets on their birthday..? Thla-voar the wait for the goodies was seemingly longer than ever before, and each pleaded that the favor be handed out on the night before their birthday. The father, believing that sufficient unto tho day 1b the good as well as the _evll thereof, declined to deliver tbe trophies before the sun arose. And Juat aB earnestly as he refused, Just aB earnestly did the boys plead. Finally, in desperation, he sent them to bed. Mother had tenderly tucked the cov ers around them, turned down tbe light, and rejoined father, when a groat crying sounded from the bed room, to which no attention was paid. This crying continued for some time,' and then came a lull, in which the parents heard the crying boy remark to his brother: "Come on now, Hay, you cry some; I'm all tlred'out!" An Obedient Maid. Tho mistress came downstairs and tried tho door of the sitting room, only to ilnd it locked against her, while the key, which was usually in the lock, was missing. "Bridget, I can't get into the sitting room," she cried. "Shure's it's meself knows that; an' yfi won't, for I hev the kay in me pocket." "Will yez go in if I do?" "Certainly 1 "will." "Then yez won't get the kay." "Open the door, I say. What do you mean?" "Shure, It's by your own orders. JuBt yesterday ye Bald: 'Don't let me come downstairs in the morning an' see any dust on the sitting room fur niture.' So I just puts the kay in me pocket, an', says I, 'then she shan't.' " ?

J POULTRY EVCT5 ROOSTER LOWERS EGO YIELD Interesting Tests Mad* at Now York Experiment Station on Presence of Males In Flock. The belief used to be general many years ago that hens would not lay without the presence of a male bird in the flock. And even today there are a few people that contend the male stimulates egg production to a greater or less extent. Men who have raised poultry for years Htttt cliiiK to this notion and persist in keeping a lot of males banging about where only eggs are wanted. The New York Experimental sta- j lion made up foufr pens of pullets, two consisting of pure-bred stock and two of mixed stock. With one pen of each class cockerels were kept, while with the others none were allowed. The cockerels were put with the two pens two months before any began laying. Home pullets in each of the two pens In which no cockerels were put began laying a month before any ( in the two containing cockerels. The fowls were of the Asiatic breeds and rather persistent sitters. No attempt was made to discourage any of the hens from sitting, and there seemed to be no difference in the relative number of sitters in the contrasted pens. Of the cross-bred pullets the lot without males laid better through out the season and also during the best egg season. Of the other lot the one without males began laying earlier and did better than the one with males during the first part of the season, but it fell slightly behind for the latter months, though during that period they kept even with the lot which was accompanied by males. It was thought that the vi'ee of feath er eating which broke out in this pen had much to do with the falling off in egg production. From these experiments It would seem that the presence of males has a detrimental influence upon the egg yield. This Is also the theory ad vanced by many in recent years, and it is now pretty generally accepted by prominent egg farmers. HINTS ON DUCKS AND GEESE Newly Hatched Goslings Weigh About Four Ounces? Turkeys Are Slow at the Start. A Pekin duckling weighs about two ounces when hatched and should take on weight as follows: Three to four weeks, 1, pound; six to eight weeks, 4 to 4'4 pounds; and at ten weeks. White China Geese. to G pounds. Ducklings should be j marketed from nine to twelve weeks! of age. After that they tako on weight slowly, and it Is not profitable to keep them longer than twelve weeks. Geese grow about as rapidly as ducks. Allowance of course 'must bo made for the original difference in ; eize ? newly hatched goslings weigh ing about four ounces. Turkeys do not grow rapidly at the start, but de velop much quicker after three months of age. mm note It is hard to fatten a stunted chicken. ; I Joy a and girls should be encouraged to raiso poultry. Wet feet are just as bad for hens as they are for folks. Tho hen that lays 150 eggs in a year is doiru: mighty good laying. For tho city market there is noth ing between the broiler and roaster. Every week there should bo a fresh supply of clean, fino earth in tho flust box. No wonder some men's hens never weigh .anything. The lice have just about .carried them away. . Nobody wants to buy a dirty egg, and the only way to keep tho eggs clean is to keep the nests clean. Middlings and cornmeal wet with skim miik make a fine forcing feed for cull* thrit are to be marketed.
