FAvERoLLE FOWLS.

Large RETURN. from Poultry,

Readers should not object to the
extra amount of attention devoted to
the hen and her products. Eggs are
comparatively low. They will soon
be higher. Grain is cheap, bat it will
soon be dearer. If the farmer is to
have any eggs to sell while eggs are
scarce and dear, he must begin the
work of preparation now and keep at
it. The price of eggs is not much, but
the sum total of all the eggs produced
in the country is greater in value than
the products of all the silver mines.
This country does not produce eggs
enough to supply the home market.
There is no other direction in which
the intelligent use of labor and ma
terial will produce as certain and
profitable returns as with poultry. A
flock of hens kept on the farm and
well cared-for means many comforts
and luxuries that would not other
wise be possible.-Farm and Fire

A Timely Event.

The bell at the parsonage went ting
a-ling, and as the dominic was in his
study and his wife getting the baby
to sleep, Master Harold, aged seven,
went to the door. On opening it he
found couple, evidently from the
country, both young and bashful. But,
after looking at the boy moment,
the young man queried: SIS the par.
son to home?' YES" said Harold;
"do you want to get married ?"
That's just what we're here for" said
the prospective bridegroom, as he
looked fondly at the blushing girl by
his side. ''Well, come right in, then,'
said the boy, ushering them into the
parlor. And when they had seated
themselves on the edge of two chairs
side by side he started off, saying:
"I'll call pa and ma, too; she'll be
awful glad, for she has all the marryin'
money, and I heard her tell pa this
mornin' that she wished some folks
would come to get married, cause she
hadn't 'nough money to buy her new
hat."-Chicago Evening News.

Ess. for Matching.

The selection of the eggs is the first
and most important matter in the
Matching of chicks. Very large eggs,
small eggs, eggs sharp at both ends,
eggs that have protuberances, thin
shelled eggs and such, should be dis
carded, as it is waste of time using
them. Eggs should be of normal
size, perfect in shape, smooth and
fresh. When the chicks are Matched
out do not feed them much wet foods,
but keep them at work scratching for
seeds, and you will have fewer cases
of leg weakness and bowel disease:
The matter of raising chicks, how
ever, depends on the eggs from which
they are hatched.-Farm and Fire

for'ard and met his fate.
She was sitting on deck chair, and
her dark eyes. encountered his as he
approached. Then she turned away
almost indifferertly and dipped her
hand into bag of peanuts that her
girl companion had in her lap. She
might have been 20 years old-but
what mattered her age? She was a
divinity-that was enough.
| Hudson walked on few steps and
| then returned and seated himself
where he could feast his eyes upon her.
He noted the long sweep Of the black
eyelashes, the curve of the full cheek
with its peachy bloom, the little tip7
tilted nose and the masses of hair piled
| high under the broad hat and curling
at the nape of the white neck, and
Edna was as though she had never
been.
Presently the divinity turned and
looked at him again and smiled-act-
ually smiled. Hudson would have
given the world to have smiled in re-
turn. but he dared not. Instead he
blushed painfully and looked intently
in another direction. Then he rose
and walked away.
He would go down below and buy
some cigarettes, he resolved. Man Of
the world as he was, he did not yet en-
| JOY smoking; still, it would look well
to smoke. He could stroll! easily by,
and then if she looked up he could
make some remark and A cigar
would be better, though. Kids smoked
cigarettes.
She was still eating peanuts when he
passed, and she looked up, but Hud-
son could think of nothing to say,
though she smiled at him quite cordial
". He heard her say something to the
girl with her and then laugh, and he
crimsoned to the tips of his ears. He
wondered whether she could see by his
neck that he was blushing, and then
he pulled out his handkerchief and
wiped his face, that those in front of
him would think it was the heat. Then
he walked to the rail and looked over
into the green water and communed
with himself.
He wished almost that the boat might
strike on rock and founder. Then he
might cling to spar and support her in
sensible form. There would be no need
of getting acquainted then. Or when
/ the mad push was made. for the boats
he could spring forward and say:
"Back, towards! The women and chill
dren first" And they would shrink
back and he would lower her in. Per-
haps she would call to him to come, but
he would only smile and wave last
farewell. Then the doomed craft would
sink beneath the waves.
Here he became aware of the fact
that his cigar was not as mild as it
might have been, but it was only half
smoked, and if he threw it away it
/ would seem as if he We're unaccustomed
! to tobacco. He bravely drew in a
mouthful of smoke and resumed his
/ meditations.

days. and they would remember that he

women and children. And she would
perhaps come and kiss his lips as he lay
in the magnificent coffin furnished at
the public cost.
Or he would be rescued by passing
fishing boat, and they would meet again

Effect of Fat on Hens.

What effect fat has on the develop
ment of eggs is probably not known,
but certainly there is a direct effect.
A hen was fattened until she weighed
ten pounds. She was too fat to walk.
After laying no eggs for months she
was killed. Five pounds of leaf fat
was taken from her. An examination
of the egg producing part of the hen
showed that there were quantities of
minute eggs in her, but not one of
them had started on their course OF
development. - Dakota Field and
