to improve, let him begin with pure
bred males if he does not wish to pur-
chase a trio, but he should stick to
one breed. If he gets male every
year, let it be of the breed he original
ly selected. In two or three years he
will have the hocks uniform, and they
will be better and better every sea-
son, and at cost that is almost in

improve, let them cooperate with him
in purchasing pure breeds, and if they
refuse, then he should compel them
to pay him for his enterprise when
they call with a setting Of eggs from

In order to make hens produce eggs
when most desired, they must not only
have extra care, but be provided with
proper quarters. At the same time,
however, it is hardly advisable for all
poulterers to erect elaborate struc-
lures for this purpose, and especially
when we take into consideration the
desperate competition of the present
day and oftentime low prices of eggs.
Accordingly, we advance the idea that
ordinary persons who make practice
of keeping from so to 100 fowls should
indulge in poultry house something
like the one shown herewith in the il
lustration.
AS can be seen, If situated by bank,
1t affords very suitable habitation for
laying hens. Indeed, in early spring

nights retard the inclination of all
hens and pullets to lay as steadily and
early as they will with warm, nice
quarters in which to reside, it is just
the thing. Really, it is so roomy, con-

cannot help but do satisfactorily in it.
For 100 hens it should be not less than

in which to deposit eggs which, with
up-to-date nests, can easily be collected

There Is PROFIT In Pigs.

Pigs breed enormously faster than
do either cows or ewes. They are less
liable to injury from accident or dis
ease, writes w. A. Roberts in the Mar
ket Basket. They can digest and turn
into flesh a larger proportion Of food
than any other ruminant. For. in
stance, 100 pounds Of dry food given
to them will produce an: increase in
live weight in cattle of 8 pounds, in
sheep Il pounds and IN pigs 1913
pounds. In other words, pigs get.twice
as much nourishment out of food as
do sheep, and nearly three times as
much as do oxen. As q result, the pig
increases il weight much more speed

FRANCE AND ITALY AGREE.

Conclude AN Important Commercial
Treaty.
PARIS, Nov. 23.--It was quite unex-
pectedly announced that commercial
treaty has been concluded between
France and Italy, granting mutually
favored treatment except for silk
goods, which will remain subject to;
the maximum tax. It is believed that
the Fashoda affair was instrumental
in inducing France to grant the neces-
sary concessions. The negotiations
have been conducted with the utmost
secrecy and the exact effect of the
concessions involved is not yet known.
1t is expected that they will have an
important political influence for the
removal of long-standing friction
between the two 3, countries. The
treaty, it is noticed, was concluded
during the absence Of Emperor Will
liam from Germany, and there is much
speculation regarding its probable
results upon the European alliance.
