THE HENS IMPORTANCE.
She Is, According to Census Reports,
the Commercial Queen of In
dustrial America

The National Provisioner pays the
following tribute to the industrious
hen
IF you hear hen cackling respect
her; she keeps down food prices. Be-
sides, she never cackles unless she is
about to do something or has done
something. The hen is the CONNER
clal queen of industrial America and
the 'feathered tribe" has more to do
with our prosperity and domestic
economy than at first seems possible.
Poultry and eggs control meat prices
at certain seasons and influence them
at all times. The hen and her product,
along with other fowls, are meats
persistent competitors all over the
world. This competition is especially
felt in this country during the late
spring and early fall.
I'VE now eat last years fresh eggs
and last years fresh poultry just like
we do last years fresh meats. Cold
storage is the wizard in the case. 1t
keeps them on tap. The census
enumerators found all the hens, ducks,
and geese setting the day he was
around. The figures sent in showed
that the barnyard fowls of America
laid 167,000,OOO dozen or 1000, 100000
eggs year for consumption. At an
average of Is centsper dozen they were
worth $25,050,OOO To the above must
be added the Matching eggs, or, better,
the Matched birds that are sold as
spring or other poultry. Last year
this amounted to 1920, 600 worth!
"In comparisons: Our much Wanted
wheat crop the same year realized
S3O3,O00,000; our cotton crop, $685.
100000. 1t beats our production of gold
for the year three-times over. The
sum realized by the poultry industry
would have paid all our public school
bills for that year and have had sur
plus of $112.OOO,OO0 to spare. There
are lot of other crops which the hen
could beat in sets of three each. This
showing enhances the Importance of
the chicken and makes the poultry

A CHARITY FIB.
sftive Person Perfectly at Ease
About His Nose.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to it
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the
moment the visitor entered the room until

statement in 1896, he said: Ever
since the Civil War have had attacks
of kidney and bladder troubles, decid-
eddy worse during the last two or
three years. Although l consulted
physicians, some of whom told me l
was verging on Bright's disease, and
1 was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. As
might be expected when my kidneys
were in a disturbed condition, there
was a distressing and inconvenient
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter &

Lionel Ardon,

One of the new novels of exceptional merit,
builded along historical lines, is Lionel Ar
don," by Malcolm Dearborn Like many
of the novels of the time it takes its name
from that of the hero The scene is Eng
land and the time that of Henry VIII, and
through to Queen Elizabeth. The hero, Lion
el, is the son of Lord Ardon, who is killed in
duel with Lord Raven, and his death is
quickly avenged by the young son. The
story follows the entrance of the hero into
English court life, and contains some bril-
liant descriptions of the gayeties and festivi-
ties of those times. One of the principal
characters is Lady Jane Grey, who is, in fact
the real heroine. Thisis the only novedthat
has ever brought to the sympathy and ad-
miration of story readers that woman of
purity and exquisite womanliness. Pub

DURABLE WIRE FENCE.
Most Important Point in Construct

of the Posts

The vital point in wire fence coJ,-
struction is the manner in which the
ends are secured. Especially is this
true of the stronger kind of fences,
where several strands of heavy cable
or elastic wires are used. 1t is de-
sirable that the material used in an
choring the ends used should be
placed in sucn a manner as to secure
as great degree of permanence as

method is to attach a stay wire to

The need of adapting special crops
to special localities and of determin-
ing the fitness of the soil for their
successful culture is becoming daily
more and more evident. For instance,
the soil and climatic conditions in the
vicinity of Dorr, Allegan county, in
southwestern Michigan, are such that
400 acres of land are devoted to the
raising of cucumbers for picking pur-
poses. Fifty cents bushel is the pre-
vailing price this season. The stor.

to store $4,000 bushels.
