"As there are men who are cursed with the mania for drink, so there are women who are cursed by a mania for spending, and the one breaks up just as many homes as the other, and causes as much misery. I am one of tho women to whom the allurement of chopping is as Irresistible a tempta tion as the glitter and odors of the saloon are to any drunkard and in dulgence in my weakness brought me to ruin just as surely as indulgence in ltis weakness ever brought a man to the gutter. "There never was a finer man than the one I married. lie was sober, moral, upright, a man with a big heart and a wide, wise vision of life. He was a self-made man in the very best sense of the word, for he had been a poor boy, and at. the time of our marriage had. by sheer pluck and ability, raised himself to a respon sible position in the firm in whose service he bad begun as an office boy. and the future lay bright and prom ising before him. with every prospect of success. "We began our married life in the traditional rose-wreathed cottage in a pretty suburb. Before we were mar ried .lack had explained his circum stances fully to me, and had told me that while we could have all the com forts of life and some of the luxuries, for a few years we would have to be economical, and count our pen nies.

"I began our married life with a crimp. Jack had given me a generous check with which to buy the furniture for our ne whome. 'Spend it as you please, of course, darling,' he said to me, for J want you to have every thing as nearly to your taste as possi ble, but remember that this is every cent that I can give you now, so get the things that we are absolutely bound to have first, and then add the frillikins as you can.' 11 Kit MUST MISTAKE.

According to many writers white ducks have been known for centuries and there seems to be no account of the origin of the Aylesbury. This has been and is the leading market duck of England, although it has been en tirely driven out of America by the Pekin duck. English epicures prefer white skin and light legs and leaks on all their table poultry, both ducks and chickens, while American tastes refuse these for table poultry, preferring yellow skin, bills and legs. Kor marketing purposes the Ayles bury is easily the best of English mar ket ducks on account of its rapid growth and early maturity, l.ike the Pekin, Aylesbury ducklings can be. j produced in from 7 to !» weeks, weigh ing from •! to 5!» pounds. At this age and size they bring best prices and some sections of Great Britain are de- Ivoted entirely to this duck rearing in dustry. Quickness of growth is an im portant factor in respect to the pro tit gained, as the young ducklings are heavy feeders. As layers Aylesburys are considered second to the Pekin, many females laying as many as 150 eggs in a year. It is important to the commercial duck grower that these eggs lie laid Keep Your Poultry Free From Disease To protect your fowls from roup, cholera, sore head, and other maladies, you must breed, feed and house them properly.

This Is especially true if the price for such a product makes it worth while and it usually does. For example, in New York, the buyer pays a premium for white shelled eggs over brown of from three to eighteen cents per dozen, the average being about five cents. It is therfore, the duty of the poultry farmer shipping eggs to that market to cater to that special trade. To In.Hiire Good Quality .Practice Sanitary Production. Tin sanitary methods in handling the poul try flock mean tainted and impure eggs. This taint may be due to filth, mould or general unsanitary condi tions. The poultry house should be kept from unnecessary filth. It should be well lighted and ventilated. The dropping should be removed frequent ly and the nests kept filled with plenty of (lean nesting material. Plenty of nests should be provided so that the birds will not crowd, and thus break the eggs, and so that the eggs will no! be laid on the floor to become broken and dirty. One nest should be available for every four hens. The eggs should be collected frequently, not less than once a day. • 'are in production means not only clean eggs but a healthy flock which is capable of greater production. Provide Plenty of Clean Utter: Clean litter on the tloor of the house and clean nesting material are com mon requisites. During the winter and early Spring when the ground outside is wet and muddy it is the best prac tice to keep the birds closely confined to the house. This is especially true if commercial egg production is the object, for by so doing they are pre vented from getting their feet dirty which soils the litter, and nesting ma terial and hence the eggs. Straw makes the best nesting material, being always sweet and clean. I.ook Out for "Blood Spot" Kggs Avoid the Shipping of Eggs Contain ing Hlood Spots. Eggs containing dark spots are worthless for the trade. This may be due to a partially incu bated embryo, in which case such eggs are termed "spots," or It may be due to an accumulation of clotted blood caused by an injury to the ovi-iluct while the egg was being formed. The first type of blood sppot can be eliminated by producing infer tile eggs. Such infertile eggs are al ways in greater demand. They bring slightly higher prices. They can be shipped long distances under undesir able conditions without danger of loss in quality. Eggs should never be taken from the incubator, although they appear to be infertile, nor should FEBRUARY 13, 1915. I they be taken from stolen nests and sold as fresh eggs. The second type of blood spot, often called a "blooii clot," may bo present even when the greatest care is exer cised, and it may be present in Infer tile eggs, hence the only sure method to guarantee eggs against the presence of blood clots is to candle all eggs be fore they are shipped to the consumer. This work is done now by all large commission houses which purchase eggs at wholesale. These blood clots do not harm the contents of the egg and the consumer must be educated how to distinguish these clots from so-called spot or developing embryo. Never Ship Small Kggs.—A large number of small eggs are usually pro duced in the fall when the pullets are just coming into maturity. One dozen good eggs should weigh approximate ly twenty-four ounces. Eggs whicli tall below this weight are usually sold at correspondingly low prices. Kggs which are shipped to the market should be as near uniform in size as possible, as many large eggs placed with normal ones spoil the appear ance of the shipment. When pullet eggs are produced in large numbers they should be shipped separately and labeled distinctly, "pullet eggs." Cse Care in Packing Since markets discriminate as to the uniformity of shipments, both as to color of shell and general appear ance of the egg, the eggs should be carefully graded at home. After grad ing and packing the cases should be carefully labeled according to the contents. When brown and white shelled eggs or large and small eggs are shipped in the same case, the tag should be labeled so many dozen white and so many do/.t-u brown, or so many dozen small and so many dozen large. When getting these tlie receiver will check up and make payment accordingly, whereas if the same eggs wore not graded but were packed promiscuously through out Ihe case a very low selling price would be received for the entire lot. Commission merchants tell us that one of the greatest losses in eggs is due to carelessness on the part of the producer in packing them. Only good substantial cases should be used, and in packing great care should be used to properly protect the contents against breakage. A layer of excel sior should be placed at the top and bottom of each case. Extra large eggs should not lie packed, as they are apt to get broken and thus spoil the appearance of other eggs. Cracked eggs should never be packed, as they are easily broken and leak before they reach their destination. The egg i-ases when tilled should be covered with two or three layers of newspapers and then securely nailed at the end so as to leave the middle free to act as a cushion to give spring to the contents. Dirty eggs should never be shipped until they are care fully cleaned with a dry rag or brush. Water should never be used, a» It tends to open the pores of the egg and cause more rapid deterioration. The duty of the egg farmer then, is to produce a clean, sanitary product, free from undesirable features and then to carefully grade and pack his eggs in a way that will insure their safe arrival to the consumer, in a neat and attractive manner. Chicks' Rapid Growth Is Vital The importance of the proper development of the chick, once hatched, cannot be over-estimated. If a flock of young ones receives a check, it means that much delay in their reaching maturing either as egg producers or for the mar ket. It costs money to keep a slow-developing flock, not to men tion the possibility of missing the high-price market they were in tended for. Next week's article will deal with the best methods of bringing the chicks along in the right way and at the right time. l.ook for It. appearing exclusive ly next week in the Telegraph.
