No up-to-date farmer would think of
marketing his cattle or hogs in a poor
or unfinished condition, because to do so
would mean a loss of money; but on
many farms poultry Is seldom properly
finished before marketing. A plump
well-finished bird will sell more readily
and bring a few cents more per pound,
besides being worth more on account
of the Increase in weight, than a poor,
scrawny fowl. Moreover, producing
finished poultry Is a quick business and
profits are soon realized.

dust then, Rufus arrived, wet with
sweat and streaked with dust from
cultivating the beans.
“I'm goin’ to the sewin’ circle this
afternoon, Rufus, There’s a special
mootin' about takln' some city chil-
dren to board. They are only goln’
to keep them two weeks."
Rufus snorted: “A couple of ruf-
fians, you mean—into mischief like
puppies, all the time.”
“I’d look after them, Rufus. I don’t
want people to think we are too mean
to do what some of the others will do
who are not so able.”
“Well, they ain’t coming, anyway—
and that's all there is to it. So shut
up. Tm going down to Dave Ride-
out’s to plow with the tractor this af-
ternoon. You better stay home and
take care of the turkeys. There’s I y jn week?
likely to be a shower." •-
Martha Jane’s shoulders straight- /
ened a little from their discouraged |
stoop. It was better to stay home than r
to tell them she could take no charity
children. ;

could go, i

and then careened, pinning Rufus up- f s
der the front wheels. It was fortu-
nate that poctor Smith was directly ROOMS FOR RENT—Three

doctor!’’ groaned Rufus. “Oh, my Hrs. A. Weaver,
legl Oh, my leg!”
“The best place for you is the city
hospital, I don’t know yet what you
may have broken."
The doctor broke the speed laws in
reaching the hospital. By that time
Rufus was too wort) with pain to care
where be was. ’Alien he came out of
the ether, the nurse told him he cogid
probably go home In two or three
weeks.
“Meanwhile you will have sympa-
thetic company on either side. To the
right 14 little Johnnie Johnson; to the
left, Billie Burke. Both have broken
legs, and both are fatherless. Per-
haps they will make the time pass
more quickly."
Rufus was surely off his road. It
was astounding how easily be learned
to travel the new one. He had never
taken. any notice of the flowers that
bloomed by the old one. The peonies
tha^ grew Ln the front yard, the big
crimson roses that grandmother plant-
ed, the syrtoga by the gate. But
when Martha brought the pansies, he
remembered. Yes, those were blos-
soming under the maple when be pro
posed to her. What a fine looking
girl Martha wns then!
Suddenly It all cume to him:
How’ many flowers had he [Hunted
In Martha’s road since he had married
her? Why did she bring him flowers?
But he was quite mistaken Ln think-
ing Martha had brought the flowers
expecting he would care for them. She
had imagined the boys might like
them. For Rufus, she brought as many
eggs and berries and as much ceam
and jelly as he had consumed when
-working on the farm.
“The boys will have to help eat
them and he won’t mistrust.” she
planned. But Martha was the one
who didn't mistrust when Rufus de-
manded two big roasted chickens a
week. Still leas would she have Im-
agined he ate lees than he wanted,
that the two boys might have all they
could dispose of.
Rufus had discovered he had never
been a boy. When seven years old,
he had been forced to rise, on the cold-
est winter mornings, at four o’clock;
milk four cows, feed as many calves,
make a fire and boil swill for four
hogs, and feed and water the hens as
soon as light Then he had to walk
three miles to school.
He would take time now to be some-
thing of a boy. And Martha should
be a girl, if rest and money could
make one. Shoulders can straighten
and cheeks fill out under proper treat-
ment. "Wouldn't It be funny," chuck-
led Rufus, “to see Martha weigh 200T’
Next day Rufus was taken home to
complete his recovery. On the seat
with the driver were the two boys.
When Martha opened the door, she
sensed the passing of the clouds from
her life. Rufus bad a glorious smile
on hi* face.
“I’ve brought the boys to stay a i
couple of weeks—but don’t you think—
seeing as we never had none, we might
keep them all the time? They have
opened up a new road to me, one you
will travel, toe. Johnnie’s mother can-
not live long, and Billie’s mother says
she would be glad to help you with
the work. Tm going to buy a car, and
we’re going fishing, picnicking, nut-

Sprouted oats Is rather a necessity
than a luxury for poultry In winter,
particularly If roots or other green
feeds are not available. Only the best
grade of oats, plump and heavy, should
t>e used. They should be bandied In
$uch a manner as to reach maximum
growth quickly. Six quarts of oats are
placed In a ten-quart galvanized tin
pall which is filled with water of a
temperature not over 100 degrees .Fah-
renheit, to Which has been added ten
drops of formalin to prevent mold.
The oats are allowed to soak In
this pall for 48 hours during which
they will have absorbed all the water.
They are next spread evenly In the
trays of the sprouting rack to the
thickhess of about an inch. The rack
Is kept in a room the temperature of
which Is maintained at not less than
00 degrees, and the oats are thor-
oughly sprinkled with water twice a
day. In from seven to ten days, ac-
cording to .the temperature of the
room, the sprouts should be from four
to six Inches In height, ^hich is about
right for feeding. By this time the nu-
trients of the seed will have become
Exhausted and the sprouts will depre-
date Iti food value If Dot fed quickly.
The oats will form a mat nearly
four times the weight of the original
seed. It should be fed In the tray, as\
It grows, at the rate of one square-
Inch per bird per day. Once a day
Is enough to feed it. If managed

Northern Arabia Is a land virtually
destitute of lakes and streams, and
during tbs dry season even ths Infre-
quent wells cannot be depended upon;
so that the provision at a anffident
water is a primary consideration.
The Arabs carry their own drinking
supply tn large goatskins, two of which
are usually slang under the belly of
each camel, but toe water in these,
usually of doubtful origin, quickly ac-
quires a taste which makes it almost
undrinkable for Europeans.
When the supply tn the goatskins
runs low, it Is gbplenlshed at the desert
wells with wMer eo Inconceivably foul
that do one l/it an Arab could drink It
and Uve to tell about IL I Imagine,
however, that every Arab susceptible
to zymotic diseases died, thousands of
ting, and do everything else there Is . years age, and that by the law of the
rurvival of the fittest, all Arabs born
now are immune from filth-diseases.
This Is the only explanation of why
they can drink sewage water with im-
punity, go for months at a time with-
out bathing, wear garments which are .
caked with dirt and crawl with vermin, I
