People who tell you that there is no oney in raising chicks may have tried to make money in the business by using setting hens as hatchers, and they, might as well have tried to locate a gold mine in the cabbage patch. The business of a hen is���������to lay eggs. ,As a batcher and brooder she is outclassed. That's the business of,the Chatham Incubator and Brooder, and they do it perfectly and successfully. The poultry business, properly conducted, pays far better than any other business for the amount of time and money invested. Thousands of poultry-raisers���������men and women all over Canada and tbe United States���������have proved to their satisfaction that it is profitable to raise chicks with the EDITOR'S VICIOUS SCRAP. Walla Walla, Wasg.���������An altercation between Archer Green, managing editor of Senator Arkcny's paper the Morning Union, and P. C. Holland, manager of the Evening Statesman, at nine o'clock this morning, which resulted in a fist-fighs. The trouble afc-se. o'vor a disagreement as to joint advertising rates, which the two papers entered into sh0retlv m Indigestion, one of the worst disease* among poultry, is often caused by soar, moldy food. Eggs Intended to be hatched In an in cubator should never be allowed to become chilled. In order to have poultry tender and JulcyHhey must be fattened quickly. Two weeks of good feeding are usually sufficient. Use plenty of lime in the poultry house. It will kill lice, Is a good disinfectant, will purify the air, it destroys vermin and prevents gapes. One of the best ways of feeding oate to poultry is to put them in a tub at night, pour scalding water o^er them. >er -ibcm stand until morning and feed ���������Xicm warm. When tkc fowls are closely confine*] or when the ground is covered with ������now, they must have bulky foot C91 clover hay well steamed is good, as ire also cabbage leaves. Some of Bnrni' Phrase*. Here are a few specimens of Bump nappy phrases: "Tbe best laid scheme.* of mice and men gang aft agley;" "Th*. fear of hell 'a the baugman's whip, to hand the wretch in order;" "But pleasures are like poppies spread; you seizs the flower, Its bloom is shed;" "Oh. wad some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as ithcrs see us;" "Man's Inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn;" "Nursing her wrath to keep it warm;" "Tbe mirth and fun grew fast and furious;" "What's done we partly may compute, but know not what's resisted;". "Princes. and lords are but the breath of kings;" "Tbe rank is but the guinea stamp; a man's a man for a' that." ��������� ' bleating with them.

It depends entirely for what purpose you choose your gown whether or not it should last. A fairly safe rule to go by Is that the itaple sort of clothes, made in conservative ways, should be bought with a very distinct idea of "long life" nnd that evening gowns, especially it' you're a good deal of a butterfly, should bo got with almost tbe sole idea of effect. We've all known tbe unpleasant sensation of putting too much money lu a crown and then feeline: that we must o��������� "get the wear out of it" even tnougn it be a conspicuous style or soils at its first wearing. And the woman with little money is the- one who suffers most of all in such an experience. Evening gowns oughtn't to last too loug; business and street clothes can't j ���������always supposing it's tbe woman jwith the small purse who is considering tbe purchase. And street clothes 'should be of quiet, rather neutral colors j���������the kind "you don't get known by," : as one woman put it. j Afternoon gowns get bard wear���������as 'bard as the street clothes in reality��������� iso they should naturally be made of I roaterials that can bold their own and ��������� ret .not-stretch"nor shrink nor get out 'of shape. They must be got to last for the "set"' and tbe "bang" must last as long as the gown. And . furs!
