cultural department of Illinois univer

cular affection while working for the
state, the state legislature has appro
priated 8,000 for his care.
There Is every probability that the
disease will be completely eradicated,
and, although tho man will be partly
disabled for life, he will bo cared for
In comfort, while he realises his dear

In 1903, when scarcely full grown,
Jorgenson came to the United States
from his native Denmark. He came
to Illinois and finally got a job on the
tate farm here because of his knowl
edge of dairying methods.
At that time university professors
were experimenting upon the danger
of transmission of tuberculosis from
cattle to human beings. Tests were
being made and cows were inoculated
with the deadly germs. The Dane
took a great interest in these experi

tuberculosis.
One day five years ago he cut a wart
off his right hand. Before the scratch

little town in Ohio, Barton county lost
one of Its quaintest characters. For 35
years he had lived by himself on the

all that timo he never took a meal off
his farm and the inside of his bouse
was never seen by more than one man.
The house stood desolate, without a
tree or shrub of any sort around It and
the door was nlways locked. Visitors
always met "Jlmmie" In the yard, and,
though Jlmmie was garrulous and
liked company outside his house he
never invited anybody inside.
Although he raised fairly good
crops it was always somewhat of a
mystery as to how he got them plant

POPULAR BREED OF CHICKENS

HARD WORK MEANS SUCCESS
To Hatch and Brood Chlckeps Artifi
cially One Must Stay With Work
Night and Day.
A great many peoplo buy Incubators
and brooders and expect them to run
themselves. There would be Just as
much senso in tho hen leaving her
eggs for tho wind and sun to hatch in
stead of setting on them and guarding
them, night and day, for 21 days.
Inanimate things won't run them
selves; they must bo run. Machines
are all right, but they haven't brains;
men must supply the Intelligence.
Now, It has been proved by thou
sands of peoplo in different parts of
tho world that artificial incubation
and brooding of poultry Is an assured
success. But to make this success re
quires close personal attention from
start to finish. The work cannot be
Intrusted to any Tom or Dick or Har
ry. Tom and Dick and Harry htred to
do the work may set tho machine
going, but they won't keep them
going. They lack tho personal equa
tion. Thoy would Just as Boon Bee you
make a failure as thoy would see you
make a success of the chicken busi
ness. To hatch and brood chickens artifi
cially one must stay right with the
work, day and night. This does not
mean that you havo to sit up with and
nurse the machines aud baby birds,
but that you Just about know exactly
what they are doing every hqur of the
twenty-four.
Many people fall to keep the infant
chicks dry, warm and well supplied
with fresh air in tho brooder. This
Is a simple matter, but an essential, A
herd of goats will getalong In a re
mote brushy pasture for weeks at a
time with nothing but bushes and
fence rails to feed upon. Not so with
baby chicks; thoy must be fed at
least five times each day.
Tho neglect of simple sanitation in
tho brooder Is responsible for heavy
mortality among young featborod
stock. Fifty or a hundred or moro
young birds in ono close room will
soon make foul conditions, which in
turn will soon lead to dlscaso and
death if tho foulness is nol removed.
Those who aro very caroful to keep
tho brooder scrupulously clean usually
have good success with brooder
chicks, and those who allow them to
become filthy meet' with lnovltablo
loss.
Failures, then, In hatching and
brooding poultry by artificial moans
aro duo to tho use of infertile eggs, al
lowing temperatures in tho machine
to run too high and too low, lack of
good ventilation, failure to keep the
brooder clean and the young birds
suppllod with direct Bunlight, nnd Ir
regular feeding. These may all bo
summed up In ouo phraso lack of
closo attention to details.
Keep a Poultry rtecord,
One of thu greatest needs of moa
poultry keepers Is a definite record
of expenditures and receipts, In toe
few cases does the owner of a poultry
flock actually know wbother his fowls
have been an expense to him or have
paid a profit. This Is, perhaps, truer
in regard to poultry than with most
other brunches of animal industry, be
cause of the facts that both expendi
tures and receipts are spread over
then entire year and nro individually
small, that a largo part of tho product
is used at homo and that tho poultry

SHE KNEW VIRGINIA'S LAWS
How Maiden Lady of tht Old Domin
ion Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.
If women ever come to sit on the
bench in old Virginia, there's a mai
den lady living on hor ancestral acres
Just across tho Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the Job.
Recently a realty company bought
a tract of land the other sldo ot her
property and plattod it into suburban
lots. Desiring ready accoss to the
capital, they instituted proceedings to
run a public road through tho old
lady's land; worse, tr he learned,
the projected road would cut right
through tho prottloBt part ot her trim
lawn, dear with its momorlos of her
childhood.
8he consulted her lawyer, only to
be told there was no help tor It,
since privato property may, under the
law, bo condemned for publto uso, no
matter how unwilling as Isdlsnnnt
owner may bo.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless Inroad on hor cherished lawn,
tho old lady burlod herself in the
musty law library handed down from
an auclont ancestor, onco a prominent
judge in tho Old Dominion.
When some dayB later a party ot
surveyors appeared with stakes and
ohalns to lay out tho line of road, they
found the owner, spado In hand, Just
setting out the last of a phalanx ot
young apple treos squarely In front
of tho lawn and right In the line of
the proposed highway,
"If you set foot inside this orchard,"
she said deflRntly to the astonished
surveyors, "I'll havo you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass."
With that she callod up lyilf a doien
trusty young countrymen waiting be
hind tho barn for the summons.
"What does all this mean?" asked
the Icador of the surveying party, in
whose contract thoro had been no
mention of fighting. "We aro survey
ing for a publlo road and can go any
where." "Anywhore except through an or
ohardl" exclaimed the old lady, pull
ing a musty volume from under her
apron. "It's been the law In Virginia
since the days of Patrick Henry that
you can't run evon a publlo road
through an orchard, so you stay out I"
The old lady had dug up an ancient
law unknown to modern attorneys,
confounded hsr opponents and saved
her lawn.
Nothing for Nothing.
It was said by all the neighbors ol
Mr. Qulnchley that he had never been
known to giro away anything In his
life. He either sold it, or oemaniiu
something In exchange. On one oc
casion ho was making a long Journey.
The seat directly In front ot him wna
occupied by a man who had been
coughing and sneezing at frequent In
tervals for more than an hour. At
last Mr. Squlnchloy leaned forward
and spoke to him.
"That's a pretty bad cold you seem
to have," he said.
"Worst, one I over had in my life,"
wheozed the other.
"Well, I know of a slmplo and harm
less remedy, absolutely sure, that will
cure It inside ot two days.
"Borne patent nostrum?"
"No; you can mako It up at home."
"I shall be very grateful If you will
