Picked Out Wrong Timet to See Model Children

People wondered at our frolics, but enjoyed them, and droll stories are still told of the adventures of those days.

Mr. AleotL you have been able to carry out your methods In your own family, and I should like to see your model children;" She did in a few moments, for as the guests stixai on the doorsteps a wild uproar approached, and round the corner of the house came a wheelbarrow holding Baby May arrayed as a queen; I was'the horse, bitted and bridled, and driven by my elder sister Anna: while Lizzie played dog, and barked as loud as her gentle voice permitted.

hard. in the conI finement of a bank. I His health was I poor. He planned on taking a trip to San Do mlngo, where the United I States was likely to buy a naval base.’ according to the gossip of the day. He told the engineer of the | bank of his plans. [ The latter advised him to take a pho-

M

tographic outfit with him. This was 1 in the days of President Grant’s-ad- • -j ministration. ' While the trip never materialized, George Eaatman. the young bank, clerk, then and there began a deep study of photography. He had been interested in the art from the'time ’ lie was fifteen years old. but until he made plans for a southern trip he had never really applied himself to the study- of the subject The result of his studies gave the world the kodak and the modern process of photography. ! Ge--rge Eastman was born In Wa- . tervilie. N. Y., in KG. A few years later his father moved to Rochester where -he established a commercial school, teaching his pupils business methods, by actual experience. The father died In IS’X>. George was an only son. He w - ns a quiet and somewhat shy lad. His . mother made many sacrifices to keep , him In school until he was fourteen years old. She -taught him never to buy anything unless he could pay for it, with the result that he was never In debt. i He got his first Job as an office boy , In an insurance office. His wages amounted to $3 a week. He worked ; his way up until he was getting siU>o a year. Frequently he labored over bls books eleven hours a day. He had a chance to become a bookkeeper in a savings bank at a year. The young man didn't hesitate . about accepting an opportunity that brought with it such a substantial increase in salary. When his pay was low his mother hat! taken in boarders so as to keep a nice home for her only son. He vv: -. twenty years old when he went to work in the bank. He remained there sewn years, during which time he took up the studv of photography in earnest In view of his contemplated trip to the West Indios. He bought a cemera and took, lessons on the wet plate process. Glass plate* wi-re in t;»- lien. They had to he sensitized before using, a tedious : process. This meant that the photographer of the day had to carry a bulky equipment if bo worked In the field., Treatment of the plates made it necessary tn take a silver bath and dark tent so as to pr- pare the plates properly to re-,-ive an image. The amateur enthusiast took such an equipment with him on a trip to Lake Superior, which was a substitute for tio-jplanned but not carried out excursion to San Domingo.- His experience on his vacation showed him ti nt , the joys of picture taking could be n .-ide available to every one only through the perfection of a proc- ' ess which would substitute compact and light equipment for the bulky paraphernalia and eliminate the tedi- - ..ous process of preparing each plate. ? Meanwhile his career in the bank ' ijwas not progressing to suit him. The Es official, whose assistant he was. resigned his position. Young Eastman's ' work had beenmost satisfactory. He looked forwani confidently to moving up a notch and succeeding his immediate superior. But he didn't get the job. The, place went to a relative of one of the directors of the Institution. That con- ■ vinced him that be had better get out of the bank as soon as possible. He 8 determined to go on his own when he could see his way clear to do so. He rented a small room for his ex--1 per.iments in the dry plate process. He worked liard and intelligently, but not without the disappointments that 1 come to all inventors. He was often ' too tired to undress when he vv.-it i to bed. Frequently he slept from S.it- - urday night until Mopday morning, ■ awakening only to eat the meals his > devoted mother brought to him.

POORLY BALANCED : RATION ESCHEWED ■ Pays Well to Give Pullets 1 Most Careful Attention. 1 : When chickens are raised by artificial means, the conditions under I which they have to grow and develop , are often far from ideal. If. in addi- ( tion to this handicap, their ration is , too scanty in amount, or if its cotupo- ( sition is unsuited to their needs, there i Is little hope of being able to grow i I them at a profit. Not only this, but the unfavorable j : influence of wrong conditions early in . life may extend throughout the first | I laying year and so result in a de- : creased return as compared with the t income from a well grown flock. > Carefully -controlled experiments i have shown that a poorly balanced > ration fed to young chickens not only j I reduces the rate of gain, but also re- . • duces "the mature weight of the pul- 1 > lets, increases the age at. which the first egg is laid, and materially’re- » duces- the number of eggs that will . be laid- during the first laving year. ( even though the ration fed to. the I . pullets after they are placed in the ; ? laying house may be a good one. - Since next year's income from the I poultry ’enterprise will depend to a i s large extent on how well the pullets - > are grown, it is, obviously worth , while to give them the very best of 5 ' care and attention from hatching j time right on through the summer, j ) . The newer information about poultry i nutrition shows clearly' that there Is i no one best ration. Either simple or . • complex mixtures may be used. pro-, r i vided they are balanced with respect i to the essential nutrients required by r growing pullets. i i , —; J Leading Cause of Damp r Litter Is Water Dishes When damp lifter appears in the laying bouse, too often the ventila--1 tion of the house Is blamed and we J fail to look for other more common c causes of this trouble. While looking | ’ for possible causes of damp litter. ’ keep in mind that it takes only a , small amount of water to cause pouf- ; r try litter to seem real damp. The chief cause of damp litter in I ? poultry houses is the water fountain r ior drinking dish? Always look at the ’’ watering arrangements first. Often f you will find that they leak. Many ’ times they are easily turned over or ' are hpen so that the hird< walk in ’ them ami carry the water on .their ’ sees t<>. tfie litter. Many of the better ’ fountains do not have any of the M»ve faults, but the floor under the i fountain is wet This condition is I caused by the water dropping from the ; *• beaks ami wattles when, the birds drink. This is very noticeable where j ’ there is not enough fountain space , ’ ! allowed in the pen.
