before. If you are close to good
egg market. select all the hens you
can that more nearly represent the
Leghorn type; also all the best lay ers
you have, and kill or sell on all the
rest.
Then send to some reliable poultry
fancier for some large, heavy boned
Leghorn males, cockerels or one-year-
olds. You do not need his fancy show
birds; just large, strong, vigorous
birds of the color you like best and
that will match your hens, so that the
chlcks will be uniform in color.
Then, if you can spare a few dollars
more, get two or three thoroughbred
females and make a separate pen for
them and foI one male. Put them in
a vacant clubhouse or stall or shed that
won't be used all summer, where you
can make a nice run with some shade
for them. away from the rest. This
can be done without much trouble or
expense. For your other hens get
about one male for every 20 hens;
that is, if you have 40 hens, get two
males, but if you only have 80 hens,
get two; do not try to get along with
one, After the first year all you vii!
need to buy will be fresh blood for
your outside hens. If you are close to
a good meat market, breed Plymouth
rocks or Wyandottes, or some OF the
large breeds. and in that case you will
need male bird for at least every 10
or II hens, Mate your hens early,
as you will get the most satisfaction
out of your early chicks. In short,
breed your poultry as carefully as
your other farm stock, and they will
give you as good, or better, returns

McAndrew did. To all of us assistants
and 'prentices they were not the mere
machines that they appear to the out

they made, every motion, every trick
they had we knew and had the reason
for it. Kipling speaks of the marine
engine as the most sensitive thing
man ever invented. There's a sort of
cold, lifeless, though admirable,
percision in a telescope and &. fine re-

the marine engine is alive; it strains

away with itself, trembling like a

THE BEST WAY TO GRADE UP.
Be Careful of Poultry if You Want to
Make Money From II,

The first thing would advise would
be to clean up. OF course, this does
not apply to those who keep their
poultry houses as they should be kept,
but so many people, especially
farmers, let the dirt collect in the
poultry house in way they would
not think of allowing in the house or
COW barn, or even in the hog pen,
while at the same time there is moth
ing on the farm that pays as large a
dividend on the amount invested, and
care and labor expended, as the hen,
says P. H. Edwards of Colorado
Springs, Col, in the Poultry Farmer.
After you have cleaned everything
floor, roosts, nest boxes, etc, fill
every crack and cervice with white
wash and lime. Wash all the roosts
and nest boxes inside and out. The
next thing to think about is the selec-
ton of stock for the seasons breeding.
A fancier, of course, has his stock Sc
lected and culled all the time, but the
average farmer is behind the times on
this question. If you have been
breeding from just any old thing try a

The Trees We Read.

Nine successful novels recently pub
lished in the United States had total
sale of over 100000 copies. Since
the average weight Of each book sold
was probably twenty ounces, little
calculation will prove that these 1,600,-
600 books contained approximately
100000 pounds of paper. A manu-
facturer Of paper asserts that the aver
age spruce tree yields little less than
half cord of wood, which is equiva,
lent to about 500 pounds of paper. In
other words, these nine novels swept
away 1000 trees, and they form but a
small part of the fiction so eagerly
read by the American public.-Chicago

MINT IN THEIR COFFEE.
Social Leaders Mistake Initiated by
All the Climbers.

That the advice, Watch how others
do and then do likewise" is not al
ways good to social aspirants was
illustrated the other evening at a din
ner given by Young matron in honor
of a guest of acknowledged social
standing.
When coffee was served and with
it the indispensable chocolate minis,
the guest was seen to take one of the
sweets and toy with it gracefully over
her coffee cup. Instantly every woman
at the table did likewise. Evidently
some new wrinkle of fashion was
about to be exhibited. Every eye was
on the guest and on the mint drop.
Determination to follow the leader
and give no sign that they were not
in the habit of doing this new trick
every day was written on every face.
The sudden calm caused the guest to
look up, and as she did so she mad
vertently dropped her mint into the
tiny cup. To her surprise a series of
cnnks ran around the table as each
of the rural ones followed her mis-
take.
Approaching the situation, the guest
hastily gulped down her coffee to hide
her mirth.
Later in the evening she heard one
woman remark to another:
Il don't care if it is swell, don't
like mint in my coffee"

of taking my demitasse without it."

Der of the sterner sex, and, but for the
fact that he has been cooked, would
appear like a formidable monster of
the deep. He weighs exactly ca
pounds, and there is enough meat in
his body to supply a small dinner
party with plenty of salad. The Great
ure measures ten inches across the
body, and has claws of II inches each.
Altogether, when his claws are
stretched out at length he measures al
most 40 inches.
The largest crab of this species

Belgrade, June 1S.-A correspondent
of the Associated Press has been al
, lowed to inspect the palace in which
King Alexander and Queen Draga were
murdered. The bedroom, which is
furnished in empire style, remains in
the same condition as when the king and
queen fed from it on the approach OF
the assassins. French novels lie on
the kings table and the queens toilet
articles, perfumes and cosmetics, COW
er her dressing table. Costly silk bed
coverings are full of bullet holes, the
conspirators having shot wildly in all
directions in their efforts to find their
victims. The simple wardrobe room,
leading directly from the bedroom, was
the scene of the final act in the drama
The apartment is lofty but scarcely
seven feet wide and fifteen feet long
and is furnished only with three great
wardrobes. The officers who attended

the room where the king and queen

floor to rooms in the southern end OF
the palace. By this stairway the hap
