HENS AND THEIR FRUIT.
Value of Chickens aud Eggs Pro-
duccd Lnst Ycnr wns 5000. 100000.

value OF Chickens aud Eggs Pro-
duccd Last Year was $500. 100000.
Chicago Chronicle: P. II. Sprague. q
Chicago poultry dealer, read paper
before the farmers institute at Prince
ton. Wednesday, In which he stated
that the production OF chickens In the
United States last year reached $780,
100000 and OF eggs 100000 600. The
total value OF chickens and eggs pro-
duced was 290ooO,OOo. Accepting these
figures as approximately correct. we
must conclude that the hen plays an
Important part In our American life.
But we will better understandable reln-
tive Importance Of that part when we
come to make some comparisons.
The value OF our tobacco crop has
rarely been US much as s43,000.000. The
value OF our potato crop Is less than
SS0.n0.0 900 on the average. The value Of
our barley crop Is not often as much MS
S3O.O0O.000. An oat crop worth 5000. C00,-
900 Is unusual. Our annual output OF
pig iron has rarely exceeded $3.50, 900, 900
In. value. Coal. by far the most valua-
BILE OF our mineral products, gives n
total annual output of some 5000 900. 900.
Raw cotton, wheat, hay. and corn are
the only four products of our country
that exceed In value hens and hens

In the order OF Importance. the crop

only three times and the highest having

crop has ranged In value from $780,
900 to $5l3, 600 900 and the corn crop from
about Sii0.OOO.00O to sIS3.OOO.OOO., The
average value OF the hay crop may be
stated at about sa9O.o000OO. From this

will be appreciated.
If Mr.. Sprague stated the value OF the
egg product separately the fact Is not
reported. II would be interesting to
know the value Of the esq output. Prob
ably 1t exceeds the value OF any mineral
output excepting coal, but not except

the value of"nny farm crop except corn,

made by the French artillerlsts at Cha
Ions with this new gun. 1t has been
proved that 1t could destroy an in
trenched regiment or battery in one
minute at q distance OF four miles.
The gun Is loaded with shrapnel shells
containing $50 shots each.
Twenty OF these shots can be fired In
q minute. This is an unhcard of rate
in a field gun. The explosive charge
which scatters these bullets IS metin-
lite. like dynamite in strength. In one
minute this gun throws 5000 bullets.
Each one Of these can kill more than
one man at distance of four miles.
The test which the French officers
made OF this gun was by setting up
dummy regiment at this dlstanceI In n
single minute almost every one OF the
thousand wooden figures was shot
through In some part.
A battery OF old guns was placed at
n distance OF three miles, with wooden
posts for artlllerymen. a single shot
from the silent gun disabled all the
guns and blew the wooden posts to
pieces.
The new gun was trained on bal
loon, half mile high. and nearly two
miles distant. 1t took three shots to
get the range, and the fourth shot blew
the balloon to pieces. 1t ilouted down
in mere shreds.
In order TO more perfectly obscure the
gun 1t was painted n greenish tint. An
mother balloon was sent up to try to
discover Its location while this firing
was going on. But even at an eieva-
ton almost directly over the gun not
the slightest vapor nor flash could be
detected. Only when It was wheeled
over an open stretch OF ground and
away from all foliage could the gun It
self be seen.
Similar firing tests have been. made
before on dummy figures and balloons
at Cha!ons. But nothing has ever
equalled the destroying power OF this
new qulck-iiring gun that can neither
be seen nor heard, =,

There were two wonderful things in

The other marvel Of that campaign
belonged to the American side. II was
the almost no!seless gun OF the dvna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius.

The French inventor. Colonel Gull
