There were not enough to go around, not even with the considerable output of 400 machines per Now, however, with the largest typewriter works in - the world we hope to keep pace for some time with the demand. It is not by accident that the Underwood Company has in a few years built up this enormous business. It is the logical result of sell ing the best typewriter at a price consistent with its value and giving the cus tomer the best service evei offered in the t3'pewritei business.

' "When n shipper of dressed poultry received word from the commission man that he would have to take "a Ullng produce, uui wue i lower price for bis birds because they it ure advanced outrageously by elm had crooked breastbones he certainly ply passing through their hands fo ks sat up and took notice. can hardly be expected to put up wltn A curved keel certainly detracts the imposition. It would seem, there from the appearance of market poul- fore, up to tho middlemen as n class try, for the first part of n fowl a cus tomer sees and feels is the breast, and In the sliowroom n fowl Uiat otherwise would win receives n cut of one-halt to two points for this defect. Many claim this fault comes from young chickens taking to the roost too early, the tender cartilage of the breast not being sufficiently hard to stand roost pressure, and so some pro vide eight luch shelves for young stock to roost on when they get the In clination, But who has ever seen wild turkeys or pheasants with this defect? And they take to the trees quickly and roost on narrow, round boughs that should dent their keel, and, besides, this fault is not always a dent on the keel, but Is ofteuer n twist or curve to the side nnd is often combined with crooked back. It is natural for chickens to take to the roost at eight to ten weeks, big breeds excepted, nnd It Is best for their health and growth to do so, ns they get off the floor, out of the dirt, I. away from vermin, from crowding, too much heat and that cramped posi tion. But we hardly think a fowl gets this fault if It has inherited no tend ency to curved keel nnd has been properly nourished from the timo of leaving the shell. We note this defect in Incubator chicks where temperature was kept at too high a degree and curvature of the spine often with it It is rife among inbred stock and may be expected where chicks suffeji from crowding, filth. vermiru-rjVose con- flnemeiu anjbad n Tue bone3 of owls gradually soiunry anu snouia ue sufficiently hard to withstand roost pressure, aud if they are not It is a sign of innutrition, of a lack of bone making material In the ration or other mismanagement, for when nature calls a fowl to roost It Is fit to roost unless some nature fakers have bungled the Job. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. The standard of perfection recog nizes seven varieties of turkeys Bronze, Black, White Holland, Narra gansett, Buff, Slate and Bourbon Red. Turkeys are becoming so scarce in some parts of the country that in a few years people won't know a turkey when they see It, unless they consult an encyclopedia. Dried lawn clippings aren't much of a feed unless full of white clover. Clover to the hundred pounds con tains 29 per cent dry matter, 2.1 ash, 2.9 protein and, 1(3.4 carbohydrates. Its nutritive ratio Is 1.5, while that of wheat is 1.7. Clover dry .or steamed and mixed with mash la bully for hen health and eggs. . The Pekln duck of this country is an Improvement on tho original Pekln brought from China. We may make fun of tho "heathen Chinee," his plg- htai, chopsticks and rat ration, but when we brag of our poultry let s re member that ho originated the ances tral breeds of many of our best fowls. Before you sell your turkeyB at mar ket y"ou had better advertise them lirst as breeders, as you may double your money. An Ohio farmer sold sixty-three young turkeys in November for $100. Tho buyer gold them for breeders for $250. The trio from which tho birds were hatched cost only $9. So the farmer made a pretty fair profit after all. A little ad. often adds to the profits. The Chinese are expert poultrymen, aro the greatest duck raisers In the world, and if a complete census of their poultry population was taken It would likely show that they have more fowls than auy other nation. They care littlo for color, but breeu for slzo and eggs aud are the originators of tho Cochins and Shanghais, the giants of poultrydom. Elevated locations are generally wind swept, and need windbreaks to protect young; stock, ns lighting the wind saps their Strength nnd guslB of air give them colds, catarrh and roup. Ever greensjare here useful and ornamental. If there is not room for air to cir culate finder n board lloor in the hen house the lloor soon gets damp and, rots. Then that space underneath makes a harbor for rats and mice, which gnaw through and help them selves to tho hens' ration or feed on the grain that falls through, Concrete Is becoming more and more popular, and boijrd and earth doors will spun bo curiosities on big plants.

Investigation into nn outbreak of In fantile paralysis not far from where the writer lives points quite conclusive ly to the fact that the disease was con tracted from chickens on the place, n number of which had a short time be fore died of a disease which bacterio logical examination showed was due to germs that cause infantile paralysis. The chickens affected llrst appear dum py, lose the use of their legs, then lie around on their sides for several days nnd finally die. In the outbreak refer red to not only young poultry, but young pigs and one calf were attacked by the disease. Tho disease seems to hnve been transmitted to the children of the neighborhood through the medi um of flies which fed. on the carcasses of the chickens aud later infected food which the children nto The case In question points plainly to the necessity of burning or burying deeply the bod ies of all chickens that die from the disense and n further warfare on all Hies about the premises. As this para lytic disease has appeared in chickens no cure has as yet been found for it TWO SUCKERS. Dispatches of recent (late tell of tho fleecing ofl.r;o "Iowa farmers by a ruse, twj for sheer nerve and brass the part of the perpetrators and gullibility on the part of the victims beats any fraud that was ever perpe trated. A chap of the name of nng gins met the grangers on a train, scraped an acquaintance with them and so won their confidence that ho got them to send him small sums to bet on horses In Chicago. Of course the races on which the money was bet panned out right, and the stake and" winnings were returned to the farm ers. This fired their cupidity, and shortly after they received word to raise all the money they could and send it to Haggins, as a race -was to be pulled off on which they were sure to win. They mortgaged their farms for $8,000 each, sent the money to the stranger and In n short timo received word that they had won and that they could have their money by going to iynnsas City. They went thither, but found no LTagglns and no money. Today they are a lot wiser, but con siderably poorer financially. "THE GOOD OLD TIMES." Not a few elderly folks are wont still to refer occasionally to the "good old times." In many ways they were good, for folks had, or, at least, took, a little more time to breathe and en joy life's best things as they went along. Then, again, In some other re spects the old times were not so good. An Incident illustrating this truth was' narrated to the writer the other day by a friend who Is near his seventieth year, lie owed a rich money lender in his neighborhood a hundred dollars or wore. To meet this obligation he de cided to Bell his hogs. He found tho market price was 90 cents a hundred. To save his bacon to the fullest possi ble extent and to save hauling expense he drove these hogs eight miles. When ho tendered his creditor tho hardly earned proceeds from the sale of these porkers the latter replled'that ho was lu no hurry for It and really didn't need It. TRANSPLANTING TREES IN FALL. The. writer is asked whether an -elm tree transplanted in the fall will live. This depends upon two conditions first, that tho tree shall bo practically dormant (growing process over) at the tjme It Is taken up and. secondly, that It bo kept well watered from tho timo It is set until freeze-up if the la'tltudo Js such that the winters aro severe, lu fall as In spring transplanting tho rule should be followed of cutting .back the top of the tree to correspond with tho root system, In tho spring nnd noxt summer all newly planted trees should bo kept well watered If tho season is dry, und this is made tho more easy If each tree is given a good mulch of manure or other litter that will hold moisture and prcveut evap oration from the soil, ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR ALE A house and four lots tor less than coat on north Hide of Mad The house" ia Well built but not nul e flnjl"d. lols ftrC Wr ?i i ul nt once.
