Poultry work is in itself most
interesting. It is out-of-door work,
healthful, and with enough va-
riety to keep one a-going. As a
business from which to derive prof-
it, poultry keeping is adapted to
the financial ability and capacity
of everyone; it is the most profit-
able branch of the livestock indus-
try and requires far less capital
than do the other branches. Poul-

Poultry keeping has its interest-

alike and no other indutsry com-
bines greater opportunities for
profit and pleasure. It is a thor-

There is a general desire for out-
of-door work and life and this in-
dustry opens the way to men and
women everywhere who are seek-
ing recreation with profit, for it
is hardly possible to breed fowls
of any kind without receiving
some benefit from them in the way

When the roll call disclosed the
adoption of the resolution by the
necessary two-thirds the Senate
chamber was temporarily convert-
ed into a scene such as sometimes
occur at hustings in the heat of
a political campaign, or when some

Keeping the strain absolutely
pure is the vital question of im-
portance; further, when but one
line is kept, more space and all the
breeder’s time and thought are
concentrated there. The breeder
who will succeed must also think,
and if he has but one variety to
occupy his time and attention, the
chances for his best success are
assured.
CREMATE DEAD POULTRY.
We want to call the attention
of poultry breeders to the proper
disposition of dead poultry. On
every plant, large or small, some
fowls and chicks die and some
must be killed because of disease.
The average poultryman is not
careful about the disposal of such
dead birds—in fact, he is often
criminally careless and negligent.
We have visited many plants
where dead birds, poultry offal

way to the voters of the State.
The Sackett resolution failed by
three votes and was kept alive by
the vote being reconsidered and
spread upon the Journal. When
the resolution was called up on a
motion to reconsider, its oppon-
ents started a filibuster that for a
time threatened to be effective.
An amendment offered by Sena-
tor Harley to locate the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College in
Dallas County instead of Brazos
County was held to be out of
order. Robbins moved to rescind
the vote by which the Suiter
Amendment failed to receive the
necessary two-thirds Thursday. Af-
ter confusion, discussion and
wrangling, the motion was adopt-
ed. By this time the filibuster
had been pretty well subdued and
the Suiter amendment was adopt-
ed, 21 to 9. The final adoption
of the resolution then followed
quickly.
Senator Robbins was numerbusly
congratulated for the help he had
rendered, as no one else eligible
to do so had seen fit to move to
rescind. Senator Hudspeth em-
braced Senator Astin, guardian of
the fortunes of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, and it is
said a few tears of joy were shed.
Near the close of the jolification
period Senator Astin, beaming
with humor of the session, rose
to a question of personal - privi-
lege and declared:

For the small sum of one dime

several, it was made obligatory
upon the contractor to have three

those bees for, and the boy went

Then Mr. Middlerib remembered
that when the honeybee stabs a
human foe it generally leaves its
harpoon in the wound, and the in-
valid knew then the only thing the
bee had to sting with was doing
its work at the end of his thumb.

second of blank wonder, he began
to feel around for the bottle, and

plants such carrion is buried from
time to time as convenient and of-

to the family also. Even where

The bees, their wings clogged w ith

lessly about over the sheet. While
Mr. Middlerib was feeling around
for it, his ears were suddenly thrill-
ed and his heart frozen -by a wild,
piercing scream from his wife.
‘" Murder! ’ ’ she screamed, ‘" mur-

Mr. Middlerib sat bolt upright in
bed. His hair stood on end. The
night was very warm, but he turn-
ed to ice in a minute.
“Where, oh where” he said, with
pallied lips, as he felt all over the
bed in frenzied haste—“where in
the world are them infernal bees?”
And a large “bumble,” with a
sting as pitiless as the finger of
scorn, just then lighted between
Mr. Middlerib’s shoulders, and ‘

calm: “Here is one of them.”
