which Came First,


The old problem of which came first,
the hen or the egg, found rival in Il
discussion at the Players club one day
as to which came first, writer's or
readers.
IF there were no readers, there Ger
tainly would be no WRITER'S" said Mr..
John Malone. Therefore the exist
ence of writer's depends upon the exist
ence Of readers, and, Of course, as the
cause must be antecedent to the effect,
readers existed before writer's. Yet, on
the other hand, IL there were no writer's
there could be no readers, SO 1t should
appear that writer's must be antecedent
to readers"
Another member of the club asserted
that this reasoning was much on par
with the discovery Of Lucretius that
eyes were not made to see with, but by
a fortuitous concurrence of atoms sight
followed as an unforeseen circum,
stance
He argued that, If eyes were made
to see with, then seeing must have ex-
listed before eyes, and. If seeing existed
before eyes, what could be the use of
eyes? If seeing did not exist before
eyes, how could eyes be made for that
which is not-that is. for nothingi
Therefore eyes were not made to see
with.-New York Herald.

A new way of soaring the "cluck-
ing spell" out of hen that is al
ways wanting to raise a family is
described in Poultry Topics as fol-
lows: "a cheap watch that ticks as
loud as can be is enclosed in a
white egg shaped case. This is put
under the clucking biddy. Cheer
fully it ticks away, the hen soon be-
ginning to show signs of uneasi-
ness. She stirs the noisy egg with
her bill, thinking perhaps it is GO
ing to hatch and the chicken wants
to get out. She grows more and
more nervous and finally Jumps off
the nest and runs off like one crazy.
She generally comes back, but mat
ters grow worse and worse with her
until, with a frenzied squawk, she
abandons the nest for good and all.
She is broken up to stay that way
until the next time, when the watch
comes in good play again. '--20th
Century Farmer.

Poultry.

If you are putting by eggs for
future sales it is best to keep the
hens minated. The males can be
penned away from the flock by
means of the chicken fencing. This
can be done after the main lot Of
young chicks that you would raise
are hatched.
Infertile eggs keep best. Infer
tile eggs have been kept long
time fresh by simply putting them
in dry room where the tempera-
ture ranges from 40 to 60 degrees
above zero Place them in tray
with wire bottom, with wooden
cleats crossed, making a compart-
ment for each egg. The wire bot
! tom is for the purpose Of allowing
!, the air to circulate freely about the
eggs. Turn them twice week. A
fertile egg tends to spoil very soon,
an infertile egg to keep a long time
in good condition.

sNTLERs VERSUS HORNS.
How EIks Shed ana Renew Their
Wonderful Weapons.

How Elks Shed and Renew Their
Wonderful Weapons.
How many persons among the many
thousands that annually visit our ZOO
logical parks realize as they pause to
admire the noble bucks of the deer fam
lily, particularly the wapiti or Amer
lean elk, that their branching antlers
are cast off annually and renewed and
well hardened within the short period
Of seven months?
Before describing the manner in
which elk shed their antlers should
like to explain the difference between
'antlers' and horns" All the men,
bers of the deer family-the moose,
caribou, elk lin Europe the animal
which we call moose is known as elk)
and smaller deer possess antlers,
while the appendages on the heads of
goats, sheep. cattle and the like are
known as horns and with one exccp-
tion-the American antelope or prong
horn-are retained by their owners
throughout life.
Elk shed their antlers about the 1st
Of February, though much depends up
on the locality and upon the age and
health of the animal. 1t often happens
that one antler is carried several days
after the other has been dropped. The
new antlers push off the old ones, and
when they appear they resemble scars
on the animals forehead, but soon take
the form of two black velvet buttons
about the size Of silver dollars. As
they continue to grow they gain in
length only, and by the 1st of July they
have attained their full size. If you
could examine them now, you would
find them soft, rather flexible, nourish-
ed by blood and incased in thick,
tough skin covered with velvety fur.
The antlers are now sin the velvet" as
the hunters term it, q most critical Pc
riod for the owner, who seems to real
ize it, for he is careful to avoid contact
with anything liable to injure them.
Should an accident happen and the
skin get broken or the antler disfgured
it might result in the elk's bleeding to
death or in his carrying a deformed
antler until the following February.
Through a process of nature the blood
vessels that have fed the nntlers are
Shut off about the middle of July, and
then they begin to harden. A few weeks
later the elk may be seen rubbing them
against trees or thrashing them about
in the brush while cndeavoring to rid
them of the velvet, and in few days
it hangs in shreds and soon disappears
entirely. The elk is now lord of the
forest and is ready to combat with his
rivals or cncmies.-St. Nicholas.

Warding Off Old age.

A famous French general, when
asked how it was that he had such
an erect carriage, replied that it was
because he bent over an touched the
floor with his fingers thirty times
every day. If he had acquired
rigidity Of the spine so that he could
not do that, he would have had with
it weak abdominal muscles, which
result in portal congestion. This
portal congestion interferes with
stomach digestion and with the
action Of the liver. The poison-des-
troying power Of the liver is
lessened, administration results,
and arteriosclerosis and old age
come on at much earlier day.
But by keeping the spine flexible
and abdominal muscles strong and
taut the portal circulation is kept
free and old age is held off.

II tell you, you are mistaken; it

Divorce court.
Which is a terse way of putting
the sad history Of many a marriags
disagreement over the things mine

The way to settle such a disagree

Because of the struggle for mine

rolled in blood, nations have fallen,
barriers of hatred have been raised,

that which is not theirs, but "ours." :"
Organized selfshness in our day

The'doctrine of minss and thine
pushed to its full extreme, is oppos.
ed to ideal government. In union
there is strength. United we stand,
divided we fall. Ideal government
declares that each is for all.
1t is opposed to the fatherhood OF
God and the motherhood Of man.
Mine and thine pushed to the
