Pallets ns Layers.

There is no doubt that pullets are
much more profitable as layers than old
fowls. 1t isoften wise to keep old hens be-
cause Of their good qualities as breed
ing stock, when they are fine In color.
shape, size, etc, but they are hardly
ever profitable from the standpoint OF
the egg basket for market purposes.
1t is often well. also. to keep some
matrOnly old 'biddies" that are relia-
BILE as mothers for chicks, for the null
lets are apt 10 be young and thought
less" and will have a disposition to ne
glect maternal duties; but as layers
simply, pen Of pullets is not very far
from twice as productive as the same
number OF old hens. and on the farm
where egg production is sought for. no
hen should be kept longer than two
years unless for some other reason
than her egg production. Another
tion should also be horne in mind. and
that Is that only winter production
pays. The time may come, as IL ap-
pears TO be coming in dairying, when
the prices for winter and summer will
be more nearly equalized. but just now
it is the winter egg that brings a
price, while the summer egg does not
repay the cost Of production, even
though the cost OF production in sum-
mer be small. Observance OF these
two points-pullets as layers, and more
attention to winter rToduction-will go
far to make egg production profitable

Selecting Chicks for Next Year.

Because you hatch a large number
Of young pullets is no reason why you
should keep all of them. 1t is correct
to hatch as many as possible. as it per-
mits of better opportunities for secur-
ing more good ones, but 1t Is usually
the temptation not to part with any,
the consequence beirg that the poultry
house becomes crowded as the pullets
reach maturity. Observe them from
the start, and note those that are
hearty and strong. Select pullets that
are uniform in color and size, and sell
the remainder as soon as IL can be
done, so as to give those retained more
attention and care

Who are the Heroesp

Congressman Stevens Of st. Paul was
renominated tile other day and during
the course of his acceptance speech
claimed that the war was covering the
republican party all over with glory and
the allied forces all over with ignominy.
He took occasion to abuse Bryan and
Lind, and among other things said:
ut ltile wary has made US proud Of
our nations history, and prouder still
that we can now bring Dewey, a Hob.
son, Schley, and a Wheeler with
thousands OF unarmed heroes to match
the glorious names inscribed forever on
the rolls of our nations fame.'
And who are the heroes?
Dewey is Democrat.
Schley is a Democrat.
Hobson is q populist.
Wheeler is Democrat.

The Queen of spain's Busy Life.

The Queen OF ypain's Busy Life.
Spain is essentially a lazy country.
In all ranks the people rise late and
turn night into day; but the queen
regent-a tall, graceful woman, look
ing younger than her years, sets them
an excellent example. Up at seven,
her first care is given to her children,
and by eight o'clock she is already at
work with her secretary. It is only
after lunch, toward two o'clock, that
she allows herself an hour of we'll
earned rest, and some idea of Queen
Christmas thoroughness may be gained
by the fact that she no longer speaks
German-her native tongue-save to
those few Teutons who find their way
to Madrid. When she first came a
bride from Vienna to Spain she had
mastered but imperfectly the language.
Now she talks Spanish correctly, and
has, alone and unaided, acquired real
knowledge of the splendid literature of
her adopted country. When speaking
of her son she seldom refers to him as
"his majesty" or t'the king" usually
it is my boy or 'my little one" She
makes no outward difference between
