German Industry.

Germany has undergone period OF

In agricultural pursuits. In 1900 the
poulation had increased to $4,000, 5000
inhabitants, of whom about IS percent
derived their support from agriculture
and 65 percent were engaged in some
form or other of industry and trade.
This conversion from agriculture to
trade and industry was mainly notice
able between 1880 and 1895. During
this period the increase of the working

BREEDS AND EGG PRODUCTION.

BREEDS AND EGG PRODUCTION.
The ability Of hens to lay depends
more on the treatment they receive
than upon the breed they represent. II
hens are properly fed, watered and
housed they will lay well; otherwise
they will not. There is difference in
the laying capacities of breeds, but it
is best expressed by saying that GER
tain breeds are poor layers rather than
mat certain breeds surpass all others
in egg production. 1t is true also that
certain hens Of slow laying breeds Will
sometimes develop good laying quail
ties, thus confirming what we said be-
fore-that there is more in the treat
ment and still more in the individuality
Of hens than in the breed that controls
the laying. The best layer we ever
owned was a cross of Cuban game on
a common hen, and another nearly az
good was a pure bred Langshan pro.
cured from the late DR.. Stonebraker.
of Waco, Texas, and Matched from an
egg purchased from Mrs. Crood, OF
England. A neighbor who was famil'
lar with the qualities of this hen gave
the writer S. for her when she was
two years old, as he wanted to develop
a laying strain. This hen was the
color Of rusty stovepipe, wore black
face, was lacking in symmetry and
would have been disqualified at poul'
try show.-Farm and Ranch.

SILOS UP TO DATE.

Late experience has thrown strong
light on new sides of the sil0 problem.
Many of the early built silos have had
time to show their weak points. Some
styles fashionable fer q time have
proved poor keepers, wasteful Of the
ensilage and not durable. Many a cheap

a saving of $50 on first cost causes
needless waste each year Of $50 worth
of silage, the builder Is paying forty
per cent. on his saving. ruinous rate.
Although cheap silos sometimes pay.
good ones pay better.
Most new silos are built partly below
ground, say three to seven feet, which
is as far as drainage and convenience
