InerensIng Egg rroauelIon.

The yarding system had in view tho
idea that reproducing food would
actually produce more eggs If not en-
tirely used up in forming bone, aesh
and muscle. What the results have
been can be ascertained by those who
have adhered to it, and are still using
it today. Personally. ain a great be-
lever in it, claiming at least a 80
per cent better egg yield, says &. o.
Roessle in Country Gentleman.
1t is, Of course, necessary to yard
only fully mature fowls or pullets.
Young, growing pullets and cockerels
must be given all the range possible.
They need growth before they can be-
come producers. They need plenty Of
bone and fesh-forming food to make
frame on which to put flesh, and thus
develop into strong, large, well form
ed specimens. When pullets begin to
lay, they should be sorted out and plac-
ed certain number in each coop, and
thus left during the fall and early
winter, or perhaps all winter. II they
are not used for breeding purposes.
When once placed they should not be
moved as it interferes materially with
egg production, and sometimes checks
laying for two weeks or more. Pull
let's are our best layers-that is, they
lay the most eggs-hence the profit
from them is greater than that froA
fowls of any other age. Many promi-
/ nent egg farmers keep only pullets.
selling them off as soon as they be-
come yearlings. This is certainly a
smart idea where the greatest returns
are looked for, but it is not wholly
popular because OF the superior breed
ing qualities of yearlings over pull
let's.
Yarded fowls are actually fowls in
confinement. The yards, therefore,
should be large-as large as possible.
l should not think Of giving 10 fowls
less space that 1900 square feet-and
| 1900 would be better. This makes a
100 or $50 by 10-foot yard, and will
be sufficient room in which to keep
the above number in perfect health

this we must depend on all kinds of

Society is yet in rather disorgan-
lied condition, and this is as true or
the dairy interests as Of any other.
We have a few weak dairy associa-
tons that make show of doing some
thing once year, but for steady all
the-year-round work no associations
exist. Yet in each of our states, If
the dairy interests were organized. an
association could be sustained that
would keep its officers at work
throughout the year. An immense
amount Of work could be done that
would result in great good to the
owners of dairy COWS The problem
Is to perfect such an organization. 1t
seems to the writer that the state APP
preparation to the dairymens asso-
citation, where such an appropriation
exists, could be used to better adyan-
tage in sustaining an executive officer
than even in publishing the reports of
the annual meeting.
The question of cheese flavor is an
important one, perhaps one of the
most important ones that the cheese
makers have to face. The fact that
foreigners generally like a sharp
cheese and Americans like a mild
cheese has made 1t difficult TO make a
cheese that would please all markets.
Inc Canadians have continued to
make a cheese sharp in flavor and
hard In texture and it has in the past
proved satisfactory to the English and
canadian markets. But now it is re-
ported that the English taste is chang
ing and is demanding a cheese soft
IN texture and mild in flavor, and one
speaker at recent dairy convention
asserted that If the Canadians continue
70 make the sharp hard cheese they
are now making it will lose them the
English market. We doubt this; for
we believe the Canadians are wise
enough to adapt themselves to the re-
qulrements of the market, and that
tney Will be sensible Of those require
nents Just as fast as they meterialize.
NO doubt the Americans would soon
pecome great cheese eaters II they
could get mild-1avored, soft but we'll
rlpened cheese. 1t will, however, take
d good deal of knowledge in cheese
making to produce such cheese in large
quantities and of uniform quality Here
and there are factories that are able

The rumor comes from England that
the Grand Duke Michael, heir to the
car Of Russia, VIII shortly plight his
troth to the charming little grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, the Prin-
cess Margaret of Connaught.
As seen by European eyes this be-
trothal is one of the most important,
IL not the most important, which is
likely to take place In years among
the imperial and royal families. And
this Importance lies in the fact that 1t
is hoped thereby to provide for the fu-
ture succession to the throne of Rus
STA.
Nicholas H., the present ruler Of
Russia, has three daughters, but no
sons, and as the Russian imperial fam
lily law excludes women from the
throne, 1t seems very probable now
that the succession will not fall to the
lot OF o descendant OF the reignlng
monarch.
1t was only last summer that Mi
chael became czarewiteh, an honor
which fell to him upon the death OF
his brother, the Grand Duke George,
who died of consumption.
The Princess Margaret of Connaught
is the oldest daughter of the duke OF
Connaught, the third son of Victoria,
queen of England. She is really a very
pretty child, and it is not too much to
say that she is the most attractive of
the queens granddaughters. Princess
Margaret was born in January, 1882,
and is just Is years old this month.
In royal families 1t has come to be
considered that from 10 to 20 is a
very reasonable age for a princess to
be married, since through marriage
thus early she learns to accommodate
herself to those peculiar conditions un-
der which queen must live.
The girl princess is of slight, grace
full figure, has hazel eyes, brown hair,
and features extremely pleasant and
refined. Albeit her nose is slightly re-
trousse, this fact does not retract from
her one bit-rather adds a dash OF
piquancy to her pretty features, writes
Mary l.. Stevens in the Boston Home
Magazine. 1t was only during the
present year that Margaret put on her
first long dress-a creation which has
been described by one writer as a gar
ment that would not excite the envy of
American heiresses.
The father of the princess, the duke
of Connaught, is one of the generals
in the English army. The duke is one
OF the most popular of the queens sons
and loyal, patriotic Briton to the
core. Indeed, so true is this that he
absolutely refused a short time ago to
accept the heirship to the duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, a sovereign state
in Germany. because the acceptance
would compel him to leave the English
army and the country he delights in
calling home"
To indulge in generalities. it is
claimed in some quarters that every
unmarried princess in Europe would
be envious If the Grand Duke Michael
should win the affections of the little
English girl, scarce yet out of short
dresses. AS czarina she would come
into possession of the greatest collec-
ton Of precious stones and jewels in
the world; the wife of the most alb
solute ruler of the largest empire In
the east, and in addition have the OPP
portunity, dear to full many woman's
heart, to absolutely rule the absolute
