THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., AUG. 19, 1912, POULTRY .. Department. . (Edited by J. H. Wendler.) Starting in the poultry business commences primarily with the selec- tion of one's chosen breed and then the selection of the best (not neces- sarily the highest priced) most ro- bust vigorous and healthiest speci- mens. In the selection of the breed it is well to consider primarily whether one desires egg production only, meat fowls principally ,general util- ity birds, or strictly ornamentals. In the former class it is well to the Mediteranian which comprises such well-known ibreeds as the White and Brown Leghorns, Anconas, Black Minorcas, White Faced Black Spanish, etc. The meat class is decidedly the Asiastics, comprising such fowls as Brahmas, Cochins and Langshans however, the American class answers this purpose very well also in our consider class Jones, W.

The American class is composed of five breeds, viz.: Wyandottes, Ply- mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Buckeyes and Javas and they com- prise almost every known color and type. There are the white, buft, golden ! laced, silver pencilled and Colum- \Wyandottes, the white, buff, barred, silver pencilled, partridge and Columbian Plymouth Rocks, and the white and Red Rhode Islands, the red Buckeyes and the black and mottled Javas, so after one has se- lected the class and breed desired the matter of color selection is dis- tinctly one of personal choice of the breeder and fancier.

Why don’t you go after him?"” OQur reply was that we had enough trouble of our own with- out dipping into other people’s bat- tles. Our theory is that the pcople sometimes get into a mood to be fooled, and nothing can stop it. That about states conditions at the pres- ent stage of the game. Besides, if the people are willing for any can- didate to pull the wool over their eyes, it is their lookout. What we should say wouldn't cut any figure. They would laugh at us and vote for the other fellow. We can stand any man in power, and the great com- mon people can. We have lived nn- cer all kinds of State, county ani city officials and have suvvived, as Fave the rest of the people. Tne threatened chaos never came, anqd we have about come to the vconclusion that such conditions «ar: only a nightmare. \We common people wor- ry too much over politics. The flag has waved in more troublesome timns than the present and never a swarry fold was crimped. It will continue blossomed and withered on the spot where we shall disappear.—Bert Walker. 1 WIND. i | Wind is air in motion. Air gets into motion when it leaves one place or starts for another. Many excel- lent reasons are advanced for this. I* is explained that when it is warm one place the air rushes in to fill the vacancy caused by the rarefac- tion, and when it is cold some place clse the air rushes there for som. reason which has escaped us. !

There's 80 many winders and doors and things. Of course, parlor winders cost more'n cellar winders, *cause they’re made of better glass.

I'd like to know how anybody could run in all the mud, less'n he was a fish. It was houses an’ things like that.” “I suppose your idea was to build a grandstand to protect the baseball fans. Is that it?” asked the father. “N-not exactly,” Bobby acknowl- edged. “You see, we don't get any fans ‘'cept fellers that don't want to sit down.

Wind is very annoying to ladies who wear the recent clinging, thin garb. It annoys them so that they walk up and down the windiest streets all the time just to show the wind that it needn't think it can keep them indoors. The same wind that fans the fevered brow of pain, that croons a lullaby through the pines, that moves the majestic ships through the sea—that same wind will snatch your new $1.97 straw hat from your head and ruin it in the dust of the street. When unusually warmed, wind be- comes hot air. This variety of wind is most helpful to book agents, in- surance solicitors, candidates and gentlemen who want to borrow money. - Chicago Post. SANG FROM THE TOP OF A BUILDING. | New Yorkers Are Still Wondering Who the Mysterious Tenor Was.
