issuing from the windows of the shop j 
cellar where he had left it, and he rushed 
in just in time to prevent a general con¬ 
flagration. The lamp had exploded, 
the brooder was nearly consumed and 
the beams of the building overhead were 
scorched and beginning to burn. It was 
the work of a moment to pitch what re¬ 
mained of the brooder out of the door, 
and a pail of water was dashed on the 
blackened beams and all danger was 
over. I knew nothing of it, and .Toe 
cautioned the boy not to mention it that 
night; but the next morning Phil whis¬ 
pered to me after breakfast, with a 
roguish twinkle in his eye, “ Ask Mr. 
Whittlesy how his brooder works.” I 
knew something was up, and when J ae 
started out to feed the hens, I took down 
my bonnet and shawl and said : “I guess 
I’ll go out with you and see how the 
brooder works.” 
“ It isn’t there,” replied Joe with a 
laugh ; “ it’s gone, busted, burned up 
and then he told me all about it. Of 
course, woman-like, after the danger 
was all over, I shuddered over “what 
might have been,” and dwelt on the 
horrors of being burned out; but J oe 
philosophically replied, “ I’ve had .flCO 
worth of experience anyway.” And I 
hope he is satisfled now.

Angers, as the modern way of feeding is 
to the old way of throwing to the flock 
of hens a few handfuls of rye or whole 
corn once a day, or more likely twice a 
week. No wonder the old mixed flocks 
did not pay. How they ever managed to 
exist through the long winter under such 
treatment is a mystery. Their stomachs 
must have possessed superior staying 
qualities, or they would have starved to 
death. 
Every year, Joe attends the poultry 
shows, and comes home with new ideas. 
Last year, when he won several pre¬ 
miums at the county and local fairs, he 
felt quite encouraged To be sure, I was 
rather glad when the fair season was 
over, as I became rather tired of having 
my kitchen turned into a hen-roost for 
his prize birds for two or three days be¬ 
fore each exhibition. I knew what to 
expect when he asked for warm water 
and the use of my kitchen, for, of course, 
when he had cleaned the feathers, it 
would never do to put them out in a cool 
hen-roost until they were thoroughly 
dry; and, although he kept them in show 
coops, they took up considerable room. 
But a man must have some privileges in 
his own house, especially a “hen man.” 
Joe returned from the State poultry 
show last winter with his head crammed 
full of new ideas. He learned that what 
he had considered his best fowls were 
really second best, and some of the 
second best were first. I could not 
understand how he made that out, but 
accepted his explanation that some would 
score more points than others as a fact 
not to be disputed. So he sold off those 
which he had considered best, but which 
he informed me had too much comb and 
were a little off color, etc. When the 
grocer brought in a bushel basket, say¬ 
ing that if that would not hold our 
weekly supply of eggs, he would “ stamp 
them down,” I concluded that Joe was 
right. Then he began saving eggs for 
setting, and he talked of buying an incu¬ 
bator, but I told him that if the Lord 
had intended to raise young chicks in an 
incubator, he would have made some, 
and 1 didn’t believe in going “agin’ 
Nature” in that way. The truth was 
that I thought incubators an expensive 
experiment, and I knew from previous 
experience that Joe would raise more 
chicks than he had accommodations for, 
in the old-fashioned way. 
Joe heard to me about the incubator, 
but when he saw a sketch of a homemade 
brooder in one of our leading agricul¬ 
tural papers, he decided to make one, 
and not have the hens wasting their time 
brooding the baby chicks and trampling 
them under foot. During the stormy 
winter days, the brooder was made, and 
when, on March 28, his first brood of 13 
chicks hatched, he proceeded to put it 
in operation. He first took a small glass 
lamp as directed, which he somehow 
managed to break while putting the 
brooder together. Then I hunted up an 
old lamp bowl which had been broken 
from the standard, and after he had 
fitted it firmly in a plank standard, it 
was filled and a new burner supplied. 
Then it was lighted and set in the warm 
box and the brooder promised to be a 
success, though I persuaded him not to 
put the chicks in until he learned how it 
would work and how to regulate it 
properly. I had company that after¬ 
noon ; Joe and the boy went out in the 
woods, and I forgot all about the brooder. 
When Joe came home at night, he was 
instantly reminded of it by the smoke
