WHEN A MAN GROWS OLD.
Growing old is a kind of letting go;
we let go our hold many things to whioh
we have been wont to oling; in other
words, at about sixty -earlier with some '
persons, later with others -we reach the
negative side of hie and say "no" where
we used to say "e es." We aro done
with many things; we are done for the
most part with novel -reading, theatre-
going, hunting, fishing -though my
grandfather was au enthusiastic fisher-
man at eighty-four. We lose our taste
for travel, for new peop'eand old scenes. p
We become less combative and argumen-
tative and more tolerant and sympathet-
NOTES AND COMMENTS. io. Growing old is a hardening process
aa regards the feelings and emotions.
We are more tender and considerate
with others; it takes more to move ns to
laughter and less to move us to tears;
we are morn prudent but less venture-
some and original; our wisdom increases,
but our power of initiative lessens.
Whistle as we may to keep our oonr-
age up, old age is a falling off, a drying
up, a letting go. Oar ambitions fade,
our enthusiasms cool, our pleasurea less
intense. But strange to say -and this is
one of the things that makes old age
more tolerable -we do not regret it; we
do not regret that we have got through
with many things that we seeour young -

"He took the work of one hen for a
year. He counted a hen which would
not lay 100 eggs per year, a very
poor hen, and one only fit for the soup
pot. The average hen ihouldllay from
110 to 120 eggs per year, but for the pur-
poses of his argument, he assumed that
she would lay 100 which at 12 cents per
dozen would bring $1 in income. She
would hatch eight chickens, which he
stated was the average hatch, and it was
customary- to assume the price of a new-
ly hatched chicken at 10 cents being a
total of 80 cents oa the flack. He assum-
ed that at the end of a year, the hen her-
self was worth 25 cents being a total of
$2.055 or for easy calculation $2 being the
gross revenue for the year. It was cus-
tomary to count 75 cents as the cost of
feeding a hen for one year but in this
case he was willing to assume that it
would cost $1 to feed the hen, thereby'
leaving a clear profit of $1 par 3 ear."
Now if we could only get hens to take
their holidays in summer when eggs are
as low as 20 cents a dozen and work full
time in winter when eggs are 40 cents a
dozen as they are now, a 120 eggs -a -year
hen would increase her earnings on eggs
alone by $2 a year.

In the making up of the breeding post
there are a number of very import -anti
factors to be dealt with if success is tap
be expected, and I Svili point out :a;
few of the more tinportalt ones to be,
dealt with, says Rev. C. E. Petersen In
American Poultry Advocate.
No birds should be used which aro
not sesuaily mature, bealthy and in
full vigor, as only from stealthy argil
mature stock can ahealthy progeny .
be expected.
If immature birds are used the prog-
eny will suffer, which is proved year-
ly by the markedly higher death rate
among the chicks hatched from such -
hnmature stock birds.
Stock of advanced age should not be
used either, as, for reasons that aro
obvious to the observer, no good results -
can be expected.
There is no need for me to explain,
that the chicks are iu everything es-
sential the creatures of tl)elr parents
and of their;tncestors; thee It is on the
whole predestined by the nature of the
germs from the combination of which
the chicks emanate what they are to
be.
Titis is good and sufficient reason
why tate utmost care should be used in
the selection of breeding stock and in-
formation as far as is possible obtain-
ed as to the ancestry of the birds to be
used in the breeding yard, for by no
paeans everything that is given us Is
good. The parental germs themselves
may, to begin with, be possessed of in-
herited deficiencies, or they may have
suffered by injuries which affected the
parental body, or they may have been.
imperfect because of the immature or
advanced age of the parents.
All kinds of malformations are he-
reditary and should ander no circum-
stances be permitted in the breeding
pen, however slight, as the tendency in
every instance is to exaggerate these
deform !ties.
L
saki ail hinds, whether inherited or
ac ;aired, as the last kind will in time
become hereditary, and even if in oth-
er respects the bird should be desirable
leave it out of all consideration for
breeding purposes, as the result 1n a
very few generations will prove disas-
ti'ors.
I:gxnlly unsuitable for procreation
are specimens• whose physical develop-
ment i; not complete or whose sexual
character is imperfectly marked.
Remember that potency is ,just as
much boreclltary as any other faculty
and is indeed 01' the greatest impor-
tance. as this particular faculty is the
rejyeuator of our strain.
And wherever a bird proves himself
stson;; iu this particular and gives ev-
idence of continued strong potency for
several „ eacratious such a bird should
be treasured ami his strong potential-
ity brei into the strain.

"Stnfty" llonaes Cau a Catarrh.
A writer iu American Poultry Advo-
cate. in answering the inquiry of n cor-
respondent whose flock Is suffering
troin acute catarrh, very sapiently ob-
serves: Unless you handle the affected
birds carefully acute catarrh will rue
into the romp stage. I have met many
eases of this character caused by too
little ventilation at night. Close, hot,
stuffy hooses and coops are behind
many of these cases. The gospel of
fresh air Is doing much to prevent ca-
tarrh diseases in our birds. Increase
the amount of air supplied your birds.
Do this by removing windows -making
openings if needed -and cover with
wire netting to keep out vermin. Get
the chicks into large coops with wire
front. Let all birds out of the houses
in the early morning so that they may
pass more time in the pure outdoor air.
Add one-hundredth of a grain of arse-
nide of antimony to the day's drinking
water of every live birds and then add
just a flet of kerosene oil to each ves-
sel. This is medicine enough.
How to Confine Leghorne.
The usual method of keeping Leg-
horns
eehorns is to confine thein in yards hav-
ing fences about six feet high and with
reasonable yard room they will rarely
fly over, especially if there is no post
top above the wire for the birds to
alight upon. Fowls almost never fly,
directly over a fence, but fly up on to
the top of it and then fly down. Tak-
ing advantage of this habit. It is easy
to stretch a couple of strands of wird
above the fence posts with slim stakes
to support them. When a bird flies up
to light on the post top the wire pre-
vents. and the attempt is rarely re-
peated.
Cnlionizing an 011 Praetice.
R. T. Will, writing to Western Poole
., ,
try Journal, says: I notice numeroust
articles in the poultry journals tlteso
days explaining' what "capons" are and
the methods of procedure in the op=
eration of caponizing. That eaponizing'
is not a recent discovery Is deduced,
from the fact that Shakespeare causes'
Hamlet to mention capons in a con-;
versation with the king, scene 2, act'
3, so that "capons" were known in the'
si,:teeen century and perhaps earlier. t
