the small flock, and there Is nothing
that will afford greater pleasure to
the whole family than ten or twelve
hens all OF one breed, but this is OF
secondary importance as compared
with what they bring In for the table,
in the way OF eggs and meat. No

idea that because their space is limit.
ed, so the fowls are unable to roam
over broad fields as on the farm, there
is no use trying to keep them. This.
is a mistake, for while the farm is an
ideal place to raise and keep poultry,
some of the largest egg records have
been made by yarded hens, and some
of the birds In very close confinement
at that. The great variety of food
left over by the family is a most ex-
cellent egg producer. The only
trouble in keeping a few hens on
such rations is that they are apt to be
fed too much and become overfat, but
by little caution on the part Of the
feeder, this may be avoided
aud a good many eggs secured
during the year from a dozen young
hens.-Vick's family Magazine.

A LARGE CORN CROP
Second Largest This Year in
COuntry'S HiStOry.\
PRESENT CROP VALUES

This country will this year produce
the second largest corn crop In its his
tory. What promised to turn out a
poor crop on account of flood damage,
etc, Is now seen to be a good one, be-
Ing In the aggregate 3I3 900. 900
bushels. AS to its value. that will be
the subject of official estimate before
long, 1t being taken at. farm prices as
of December /, and reported by the
Department of Agriculture.
The average yield for 1908 turns
out to be as much as ass bushels to
the acre. decrease OF only bushel
from 1909 average and nearly bush
els above the average for ten years.
Evidently, therefore, the season has
been favorable one. much more so
than II promosed to be. Hence the
reason for much OF ithe favorable opin-
Ion expressed on the part Of the prom
inent railroad officials regarding the
outlook, to say nothing OF the sus-
taind influence upon traffics and earn
ings which has already been exerted
by the realization OF a corn crop OF
such important size and value.
Figuring on the value of the crop
and its present market prlce-42c-the
total is s97I 400, ,ooc. This is in ex-
cess of the value Of any previous crop
with the exception of last year.

HeireSS to a Million Puts Tokens

uOuS Use.

Il
Among unique wall decorations the
young heiress to a million who has
covered the walls of her boudoir with
the offers of marriage she has receiv-
ed since her debut certainly takes the
lead, says the Chicago Tribune. But
the desire to escape from the hackney
ed and commonplace sometimes de-
generates into the grotesque as these
examples of wall papers which are
not to be bought In the usual empor-
iums of house decoration will show.
Among the Chinese there is a craze
for postage stamp apartments, out
the immensity OF patience required
before the four walls are properly
covered In the minute squares renders
it unlikely as a modern American
fashion. A Berlin beauty, however,
had an idea akin to II, having her
boudoir papered entirely In colored
pictorial postcards, collected from
every part OF the world, and repre-
senting both landscapes aud figures
of every sort and kind. A more
charming originality Is that OF the
traveller. who, when he finally settled
down, had his room arranged as II
cabin on board a yacht, with port
holes, life buoys and everything he
could think of to create the illusion of
having still the great wide seas tear
ing past on either side OF him.
The singer Mario. who became the
Prince of Gambia, aud who married
the great Grisi, had room covered
with newspaper clippings containing
enthusiastic notices of his wife. The
king of Cambodia has hidden the
walls Of his palace with portraits OF
his wives. The longest part Of the
work was the photographers. Eight
thousand women make mp the royal
harems, and to stick the photographs
on the wall was comparatively SIM
pie process of satisfying the 5000
ladies upon so nice a point as their
own likenesses.
Nine, Nillson, the great singer, has
papered one room ir her house at
Madrid with the songs she has sung
most successfully. A New York den
tist has also hidden his walls In mem
ories of his life work. But as he
could hardly conceal the walls with |
embedded teeth extracted from his
patients, he has replaced them by
playing cards--one for each tooth |
drawn. He has already pasted 6 900
memoriam." An Eng
lishman, on the other hand, has con-
trived unique wall paper with trav-
cling tickets-railway, steamer and
street car. In order to keep the first
two he had always to pay an extra
sum, and even then many struggles
ensued before he was at last allowed
to issue triumphautly with his frag-
ment of mural decoration. In the
center Of the room are the tickets of
the collectors honeymoon trip.
Perhaps as an offset to the girl
mentioned In the beginning, a mo.
rose French encentric papered his
walls With the deep-bordered invita-
tion cards received to the funerals OF
friends and acquaintauces.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrins of India the
marriage ceremony is quite elaborate.
After many preliminaries the priest
begins this singular performance: TAX
ing small portion of the hair of the
bride and groom In turn from the cen
ter of the forehead, he draws it down
on to the bridge of the nose. Then,
pouring oil on the top of the head, he
watches 1t carefully as it trickles down
the portion Of hair. If the oil runs
straight on to the tip OF the nose their
future will be fortunate, but if it
spreads over the forehead or trickles off
on either side of the nose bad luck is
sure to follow. Their fortunes told,
generally to their own satisfaction, the
essential and irrevocable part of the
ceremony takes place. Standing up
side by side, but with faces strictly
averted, the bride and bridegroom
mark each others forehead with sin
dur" (vermilion). Great care is always
taken that neither shall catch a glimpse
Of the other during this important proc
ess which finally makes the couple man
