A Kind Enperor,

During a four months visit in Ber-
lin, Germany, last winter l noticed
numerous sand piles surrounded by
happy children Of all ages, and, won
dering why they were allowed the
privilege Of scattering the sand in this
otherwise very tidy city, I made in.
quiries, and learned that, before the
old Emperor William died, he ordered
large piles Of sand to be placed at in
tervals on Untcr den Linden, and also
in all the large parks throughout the
city, for the benefit Of the poor chill
dren who live in the crowded tenc-
ment houses.
The pleasure proved to be so great
that the children Of all classes, rich
and poor, mingled together, all armed
with Spoons, paddles and pans, In
Victoria Park, which Is situated in the
poor district, there is one solid acre
Of fine white sand, where, on a fine
day,hundreds Of children dig and play,

peror. This impressed me rs the

est profit makers and wealth produc-
ers. The revenue from keeping fowls
for eggs il the herds can be properly
handled, watched and controlled is
greater than in any other industry"
said ]. r.. Benson.
Becoming convinced years ago that
there was big profit and room for
great Improvement in poultry raising,
l started experiments and study, not
in methods of breeding, but to devise
proper methods of herding. 1 found
that it is possible on a small area to
keep an unlimited number of small
herds. This system caused the great
est production. Two hundred eggs
per year per fowl was not a high aver
age, and each hen could be made to
pay profit of at least $3.50 per year.
l started with fifteen hens, then in
creased this to ten families of fifteen
each. The result was the same if
not better"

Mr.. Benson estimates that this NAM

and stocked with 10000 hens ready
for a daily lay of $4,000 to 100000
eggs, about $266,OOO. The yearly ex-
pense Of running this plant will be,
including feed, delivery system, etc,

of the Water.
Nearly all the killing Of land ami
mails takes place on the surface of the
earth. Very few birds even are killed
in the air except by sportsmen and
by a few hawks, says the Spectator
In this country the mole, the shrew
and occasionally the fox and rat kill
prey at little distance below the sur
face. But the ocean is forged and
Tavaged in all its coast waters from
surface to sea bottom by fifty species
of aquatic mOles, varying in size from
the seal to the sea parrots, swift, act
i've and vOracious creatures, which
abandon the light and land and air
temporarily, or for the greater part
of their lives, and necessarily burrOw
in the depths in pursuit of the fish.
No form cf life escapes them. If any
sea creatures could hope to avoid the
creatures of earth ana air it would
be the shellfsh, great and small, firm
ly anchored to the rocks on the sea
bottom, and often protected by shells
Of such tiinty hardness that no bird
able of crushing them, even If they
worked above water. 1t Is conceivable
that the gigantic walrus should dive
down to the seabed, and, raklng the
clam shells with his tusk, should
crunch them for a meal; but it is as
tonishing evidence of the invasion
of the deep by creatures Of the air
that the scaup duck, the scooter and the
elder, birds of swift flight AMI normal
form, should dive fathOms deep to the
mussel and whelk beds and crush and
devour these hard-shelled creatures
with no more difficulty than a thrush
breaks and eats a garden snail.
The only special equipment of the
scoters ana elders Is the heavy ridge
along the upper bill, which strengthens
it when crushing the sea shells, and
corrugated teeth or notches, like the
''roughing' on the inside Of q pair Of
pincherS, to aid in holding the shells.
Yet they will fish and feed for hours
in the toughest weather, devourng
their food deep down below, where the
surface disturbance reaches them not,
and only rising for a moment to take
a breath before descending to their sub
marine dinner table. Equipped with
this wonderful power of diving ana
she'll crushing, they fare better than
the more ambitious tish-eating birds,
which have to pursue their prey in
different parts of the sea according
to the weather.

yolving disc, which receives the egg
as soon as il is laid and moves it away
from the nest when released by the
rising Of the hen. The disc is then
ready to receive the next egg, and in
this way no egg is incubated for an
instant.
The second invention saves the ex-
pense of numerous attendants and the
lives of the smaller hens. One Of the
greatest troubles and trials of poultry
farms has been that Of feeding. I'm
less time were taken to scatter the
food far and wide the larger fowls
beat away the smaller from it, and
the result was that the smaller were
lmperfectly nourlshed, impairing their
laying capacity. AS small hens may
be as prolific as larger ones, and as
oyerfeeding produces fat and dimin-
ishes the laying, the Importance Of fair
and even distribution of food to laying
hens is plain. 10 make this cheap

II T EW YORK is soon 20 have
IN IN its suburbs the larg-
VI est chicken ranch in the
world, states the Herald.
At ManasQuan, n. J, COM
pauy has secured n tract of three hun
dred acres to establish giant hen
industry, conducted on scientific meth
Ods.
The company, say It's promoters, in
lends to control the New York market
for guaranteed" fresh laid eggs. They
will, they say, deliver eggs in boxes,
zach box stamped with the date Of
laying, and delivered to customer with
in twenty-four hours after the eggs
are laid.
The city Of New York last year paid
S20,000,000 for eggs, most of them
more or less stale, the consumption
being 1OO,OO0,OOO dozen. The first
years output Of the enormous new
chicken ranch now being laid will be
thirty million eggs. This will be the
product Of laying "hcrd" Of from
one hundred and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand chickens. The eS-
tablishment is being planned to rapid
" increase TO double that amount.
These flocks will be herded under
the system invented by Mr.. j. r. Ben
son, an authority on everything per-
tanning TO the hen and its product. Mr.
Benson is the general manager of this
gigantic concern, which will be the
biggest in the world
In a recent lecture Professor A. A.
Brigham, of the Rhode Island College
Of Agriculture, at the Poultry Expert
ment Station, Kingston, said:
'To make an industry Of the chicken
and its product is not a question Of
the market, which can always be had.
It is not the expense Of keeping, which
is always low. 1t is not n question
of profit, which, if properly conducted,
is large. 1t is the question how to
reach and conduct on a business scale
large herds of hens. the chicken busi-
ness Of to-day being merely home in
dustry. Something, therefore, must
be done to make hen raising a national
business on a business scale"
This will be accomplished says Mr..
Benson at the Manasquan egg farm.
Under his system any number of chick
ems can be herded. Instead Of allow
Ing them to run az large and mingle
freely, as OF old, picking their food
from all kinds Of refuse they are to

taint Of incubation. When hens lay
in the same nest and from one TO half
dozen sit on the nest while laying,
the process of Matching has actually
begun before the eggs are gathered
for the market. This is the main cause
why so many eggs spoil.
The new system is the only one
which prevents eggs from undergoing
some degree of incubation, because the
egg is taken from the nest immediate
ly after it is laid. The invention con
