Show 'Selection of Breeding Birds Sometimes Hard The first point t cnnxliler In connection with the selection Is the number of breeding birds likely to ha required to produce sufficient hatching at the right period, prolonged hutching must be avoided avoid-ed m far poxsihle, and consequently conse-quently there ifli.-t be an adequate number of breeder. An extra pea of birds will probably provide a siir-108 siir-108 number of wv. enabling th breeder to avoid the possibility of a shortage when most needed. To arrive at the number of bird regained to supply the eggs during 'a given period, one f uld be aafe in estimating an output of fouf hatchable es weekly from each bird. A hundred breeders should have no difficulty In producing 400 ecus a week, aud If the selection of afock has been carried out on sound lines, most of these eggs will be suitable for hatching. It should be borne In mind also that, tinder normal conditions, not more than 70 to 80 per cent of the eggs incubated hutch out, while , from these there will be at least 00 per cent cockerel chicks. New Egg Mold Causing Losses to Handlers Recently a peculiar mold which develops on egg shells during shipment ship-ment and In eold storage has caused some heavy losses to the handlers of cold storage eggs. As nearly as can be learned, it seems that this mold is caused by using crates made of unseasoned or poorly seasoned sea-soned wood. This spot mold first appears on the outside or the egg shell. It leaves the egg unsightly and reduces re-duces its market value. Within a short time It will penetrate the shell, spreading through the Interior Inte-rior surface and giving the egg moldy flavor. It can be eliminated elimin-ated by using well-seasoned egg crates. Disinfect Drinking Water in Henhouse A good homemade disinfectant for the drinking water In the poultry poul-try house Is a calcium bypochlorhl solution. To make it, take one 13-ounce 13-ounce can of chloride of lime, one-half one-half pound of fine table unit, and one gallon of hot water. Mix and dissolve; allow the lime and the salt to nettle, and use ouly the clear liquid. Prepare the mixture In earthenware earthen-ware or glass Jars and keep It protected pro-tected from the light The solution solu-tion should not be kept more than ten days. Two tablespoonfuls of the solution for each gallon of drinking water disinfects satlsfuo torily. Proper Insulation Proper Insulation Is as Important as good ventilation fr poultry houses.

He tells Absolom McPeake, hli lawyer, of a deal forty years ago In which he swindled a man out of 140,000, and arrange for payment with Interest Butter-worth Butter-worth dies suddenly.

"You're keeping something from me, Elmer." "If I am. Nellie. I don't know what It is. Do you?" "Well, I've heard, Elmer, that Uncle Hiram Butterworth has left you a million mil-lion dollars." "Interesting If true, Nellie. The stories that are circulated In this town and gain credence are unbeiievnble. However, Nellie, I have got some news for you, and you can believe this. That human Icicle Ansel Moody stopped me on the street half an hour ago and told me he'd accept my application for five thousand and give me an open credit for twenty-five hundred more. I'm going up at noon to close my lease on H. Wasservogel's old butcher shop." Nellie came closer to KImer and took each lapel In her little brown hands. "Elmer." she warned, "beware the Creeks when they come bringing gifts. Do not accept that loan and do not treat for that lease today, please!1 "Why?" "I don't think you ought to. Today Is not the day for you to discuss any thing with anybody even with me." "Have you been going In for astrol ogy, Nellie?" "No, but the little birds tell me things." "I had an Impression that In I'Har- cltos that was the prerogative of old hens,' he replied. "Very well Nellie, I'll not do anything, then, without consulting con-sulting my manager." She drenched him with her smile and continued on to her work. She wai paying teller for the Pilarcltos Commercial Trust & Savings bank and one of old Ansel's dummy directors. di-rectors. Nellie nlso was the trust oflleer of the bunk and a notary public. Like Llmer Clarke, she was an orphan, She was twenty-two years old and while already In Pilarcltos she was re garded as an old maid, more or less in the sere and yellow leaf, she was still Hie recipient of much attention from f the most presentable of the I'llareltos swains and was reputed to have declined to marry each of them. KImer Clarke, the last of a stricken field, was holding his own with Nellie, however. Two years had passed since first he bad sat with her on the veranda ver-anda of the Tully house, where Nellie made her home with old Mr. and Mrs, Tully. Bi-fore Elmer could ecape Inside the Smoke Shoppe, he felt a hand plucking at his sleeve. The messenger hud arrived with the telegram from Absolom McPeake. Elmer signed for It, read It tucked It In his pocket and returned to the Smoke Shoppe. Sam Hasklns waited for him to say something waited five minutes, in tact, and then said : "No bad news, I .hope, KImer." Elmer shook his head and went on wiping dust off the stock. Presently Sam Hasklns essayed another sortie. "KImer, they tell me you've fallen heir." "I have," Elmer answered without enthusiasm. Sum swatted him smartly between the shoulder blades again. "Well, why don't you say something. Elmer?" "Nothing to say, Sam. The whole town knows It already. You couldn't expe t Old Lady Bray to live with that news bottled op Inside her, could you?" "Beckon she'd bust If she tried It Elmer. Sam heaved a heavy sigh. "I suppose this means it's op to me to git myself some new help," he added. Now that Sam had opened the thkllsh subject Elmer was quick to take advantage of the opening. 'Yes, Sam. I don't suppose either of us cau afford the luxury of a million dollar dol-lar man working for forty dollars a week. However, Sara, I was going to leave you, anyhow. In fact, It was my intention to slip yon the bad news tonight This telegram hasn't made the slightest bit of difference, because the news It contains is as great a surprise sur-prise to me as it was to Old Lady Bray. I was going to quit you to go Into business for myself." "In what line?" Sara's tone was freighted with anxiety. "Same line as tills." "What? After workin for me Ave years an learnln the busing from me, you figure on startin opposition?" Sam Hasklns lost his temper completely. com-pletely. "Ifs a rotten trick to play on me, Elmer." Tin ,.irry you think so. At any rate, your protest does not move me, so yon have my resignation, to take effect immediately. I wouldn't work a split second for a man who thinks 1 -rr. : t en i i i i. . mm mm . By JPeter I'm capable of dirty tricks and who has as tittle appreciation of loyalty and ability as you possess." And Elmer El-mer tossed the cheesecloth under the counter, took his salary to date from the cash register, made out a receipt for It and walked out of the Smoke Shoppe. , "You goln' to let me down without notice?" Sam cried incredulously. "I wasn't until you talked that way. Hereafter, Sam, get along the best way you know how." He walked away down Main street, only to be stopped by a concerted rush of men congregated across the street. They pumped his hand, slapped his back and showered him with congratulations. congrat-ulations. Eventually Elmer escaped from them and continued on down to the Pilarcltos Pilar-cltos Commercial Trust & Savings bank." At Nellie's window he paused long enough to hand her the telegram from McPeake , and continued on. to Ansel Moody's office. , ; ; The banker rose expeditiously and shook hands with him, ""Well, Elmer, did you bring the search of the title of your C' street pruppty with you?" he Inquired with mock interest Elmer sat down. "I've decided not to go Into that business after all, Mr. Moody," he announced. "Since speak-ing speak-ing with you this morning I have re- "It's a Rotten Trick to Play on ie, Elmer." reived a telegram from a lawyer in Muscatine, Iowa, Informing me that under the last will and testament of my Uncle lllram Butterworth, of that city, Tarn, with the exception' of two minor bequests, the sole beneficiary of an estate conservatively estimated at a million dollars." Of all the congratulatory handshakes hand-shakes he had received that morning none equaled In promptness and intensity in-tensity ot grip the one which old Ansel Moody gave him now. "By gravy!" cried the banker. "By gravy! If this ain't the best news I've ever heard, Elmer. You're the richest man in Pilarcltos an' the second richest man in the county. I congratulate you with all my heart." "Thank , you, Mr. Moody. I must say I do not feel depressed about it myself. The first thought' about It to me after receiving that telegram was that I had been going sixteen hours a day for five years without a vacation ; and during that five years I have had to beat back a long way to regain my health. I was struggling for a prize and now the necessity for further struggle is ended. I have come to the conclusion, therefore, that 1 11 leave S Hasklns In possession posses-sion of his monopoly." At that moment Nellie entered to Old Testament Writers t'erhups it is not to be wondered at that the Old Testament writers writing writ-ing In, or at least of, a remote antiquity, an-tiquity, should not be extremely exact in their botanical or other natural history nomenclature. In early days men were not very particular about the naming of the trees of the field. There seems to have been a tendency then, as now, to place all trees in two classes, those that shed their leaves each autumn and those which do not Just as we roughly rough-ly speak of the first class as hardwood hard-wood and the conifers with their per ennlal foliage as soft wood. Under the generic terra fir, or it may be gopher wood, they classed the cedar, the Br, the cypress, the pine and the hemlock, while the wood oak covered a variety, possibly most of the trees of the hardwood or deciduous kind. The sacred writers, we must always remember, were not concerned about "Ala't Dat SumpioT The ulored parson had Invited a stranger to address the congregation, and wishing to say something wonderful wonder-ful In his introductory remarks, said, "Bredern and sistern. the gentleman who am to speak to you dis mo'nin am de Soundin Brass and de Tinklin Cymbal of de NVthern jJethod;t Church.

I told you last night that within with-in a week your ship would come In." "Thank you, Nellie. I, came aown to tell you first, but of course you knew it already. Old Lady Bray nan broadcast It." . . "Yes, she telephoned me first, Elmer.",1' El-mer.",1' .'...' -;; Ansel Moody "turned to his paying teller and trust officer. "Why didn't you telephone me this great news,, Miss Catheart?" he demanded. "I would have informed you when I reached the bank this morning, Mr. Moody, if Alice Coodfellow hadn't told me she had telephoned you at your home." Old Ansel could have stabbed her with his paper knife. To cover his confusion he picked up the telegram and studied it carefully. "Suie somebody ain't tryin' to play a practical Joke on you, Elmer?" he asked finally. "If you want, I'll wire some bank in Muscatine an' ask them to investigate an' report" "if you will be kind enough to do that, Mr.- Moody, I will be under obligation obli-gation to you." "Certainly. Miss Catheart, attend to that matter', please. ' Elmer, if this bank can serve you in any way, always remember that that's what we're here for to serve our customers. ' Good luck to you, boy, an God bless you!" He shook hands with Elmer again, very cordially, and answered the telephone. tele-phone. Elmer followed Nellie out into the lobby of the bank. "Don't be misled by Mr. Moody's friendliness, Elmer," she warned him. "He's after your account If he hadn't had advance Information he would not have waylaid you this moruing and offered to finance you." "Think so?" Elmer was a trifle doubtful. "Know so. The man'3 a shark. Be careful of him. He'll try to get your confidence and unload some of his own cats and dogs on you under the guise of advising you in your Investments. In fact, you'll have a great number of people sacrificing themselves to the solemn duty of safeguarding that million mil-lion dollars, Elmer. Heretofore you had a, host of friends who loved you tot what you are. ou will now double the number of your friends. Be careful of them, Elmer. They will love you for what you have. That, by the way," she added, "is the first, last and only advice I am going to give you and I prefer to give it to you before be-fore you come into your inheritance. I loathe competition." Elmer was about to say something that had been close to his heart for two years, but reflected in time that the lobby of a bank was not the proper' place to say it. Moreover, Mr. Crittenden, Crit-tenden, the cashier, had come out of his ofiice now and was proffering a congratulatory handshake. "You'll find that wealth is a burden," he Informed' the new millionaire sagely. sage-ly. "Put it In bonds, Elmer Liberty bonds. The interest yield Is small, but it is safe." Elmer caught the small smile in back of Nellie's lovely eyes as he left the bank. On the sidewalk he met Ed Wyatt, mayor of the town, who promptly corraled him. "Conserve It, Elmer, conserve It." his Honor boomed in his mellowrotund mellowro-tund voice that hadn't any more sincerity sin-cerity In it than near beer. "When you get around to it, see me and I'll put you next to one of the grandest buys in an apricot orchard that is to be found in the state." . Elmer thanked him and proceeded on his way.

"You'll be getting yourself a new car, Elmer," the chief prophesied, "and this card might help you with the traffic officers." , Elmer tucked the card away in his wallet, a little pleased to have it in case of emergency. Arriving home, he changed Into an old suit and gum boots, climbed into " his second-hand flivver and departed for his favorite trout stream. It was dark when he returned to Pilarcltos. He changed hbi clothes and drove around to the Tully house. He found Nellie seated on the front porch. "Have you had your dinner, Elmer?" she asked. "No, Nellie. Thought I'd come around and take you to dinner out to Joe Angellottl's. Been fishing. Didn't have much luck, but got enough for you and me. Joe will cook them for us." ' She climbed into the coupe and took the wheel, "I'll drive, Elmer. Something Some-thing tells me you have had a hard day." "I have, Nellie.

"You're a sweetheart, sweet-heart, Nellie," he murmured. Nellie looked at him with love lights in her eyes, but suddenly remembering that he was now a millionaire and she must not be guilty tonight of . a tendency ten-dency toward a sentiment she would not have bothered to repress if Elmer had been as poor as Job's famed turkey, tur-key, she withdrew her hand from under un-der his and asked him how many trout he had caught that day. "Ten nice ones, Nellie. Somehow I couldn't keep my mind on the fish today. It's quite a shock to become a millionaire without warning." "You'll grow accustomed to it. By the time the novelty of buying whatever what-ever you want has worn off, you'll have learned much of men and motives. mo-tives. Probably, too, you'll have learned much about women. 'And of course you'll not live in Pilarcltos." "Beally, Nellie, you wouldn't blame me for leaving this little country town of three thousand inhabitants. I've been weary of it for a long, long time." "You've had the wanderlust ever since you went away to the war," Nellie complained. "However, I suppose sup-pose you'll come back occasionally to visit your real friends In Pllarcitos." "Of course, Nellie. By the way, did Moody receive an answer from the Muscatine bank?" "Not up to the time I left the office." "I'm not going to make any definite Plans until that telegram comes, Nellie. Suppose McPeake's telegram has been garbled in transit. Suppose some trick clause should develop in the will Suppose I have to do some fool thing before I'll be eligible as a residuary legatee; suppose I decide not to do It and the million dollars goes to charity." . te,r P,ay safe, Elmer.
