Hens Pay If They Lay.

What is more aggravating than the
refusal of the biddy to lay when eggs
are high?
The poultryman oftentimes sputteE
and scolds and proposes to live on ponl'
try until every hen is eaten, forgettin!
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She
likes to lay and then talk about it after
she has done the job, but she does not
like to work when she is cold, chilly
and poorly supplied with warm, stimu,
lating food. If she could speak good
English, she would tell you that she
would like few rations each week ot

would like warm, clean home to live

SEED DISTRIBUTION.

Secretary Wilson's suggestion re-
garding the governmental distribu-
ton of seeds seems to offer means
OF rehabilitating this function OF the
government from the abuse into
which II has OF recent years deterior.
ated, remarks the Pueblo Chieffain. :
Atsthe time the system of seed dis,
tribution was put in force 1t was In
tended to make rare and valuable
seeds available for general agricul
ture. However, of recent years this
custom has been degenerating until
ID has come to be a mere routine In
which quantities. of common or
worthless seeds have been sent out
by the direction Of congressman for
electioneering rather than agricultu,
raj purposes.
To the extent that seed distribu,
ton has taken this form, 1t has failed

farmers I'm the effort to improve the

"eET The FIRST $1,000"
Ancient Axiom That Has Set Many
Men to Saving.

Get the first $1,000 After that
money-making is easy" This is the
old-time sage advice of the hard-head-
ed, self-made man That axiom has
set many men 10 saving They fix
upon that sum as the glittering, far
off herald of a fortune something TO
be made. To a man on small salary
"a salary, say, out Of which some
thing can be saved weekly without too
much deprivation-the advice Is good.
There is something in it that acts as
2 stimulus to economy. And who
will deny that economy is good
thing or that any truth that lights
the way to it should not be known?
Many men, therefore, have been
buoyed up in their economies by the
belief that the first 81 1000 is the hard
est to get, and that afterward all the
rest would be easy and the good
things of the world that follow boun-
teous supply of money would be with
In easy reach, says a writer in the
Denver Republican 1t is a pity that
/ the man who invented that saying
could not also have told us with
equal advantage how to turn the $1,000
over and make two of it. It takes a
/ long time to make a wage-earner see

ing money is to work for it himself

| works much easier than he can and

himself experiences-that is to say.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York June 19.-The stock mar
ket continues in the same Iethargic
condition as during the previous days.
The market was almost devoid Of
feature With the exception Of an oc-
casional fury in Reading and Union
Pacific, the balance of the list presented
a condition bordering upon the coma
tose
Reading was battered around from
100 at the opening down to 98$4 a mid
day and back TO 1905 at the closing
hour. caused in the main by rumors of
one kind and another in regard 10 the
forthcoming dividend. one news agency
sent broadcast report that the divi-
dend would not be increased and that
the directors declared the usual per
cent per annum. This was subsequently,
proven to be untrue. The directors did
not take any action upon the dividend
question UP to the closing hour. 1t
seems to be the concensus Of opinion.
however, that the rate will remain un-
changed.
Copper ruled lower in the early part
Of the session occasioned in the main
by a slight break in the metal mar
ket in London. 1t dipped from SPA at
the opening to SIS and back to 50.
1t is reported in the street that the
buying upon every little break in
Union Pacific is for the account of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co, this firm usually
operates for the Hartman interests.
Call loans were marked up to 3
per cent. This hardening tendency was
attributed in a measure to the July
disbursements which will reach in the
July will furnish a better line upon
the crop conditions of both wheat and
corn. 1t is limited by some excellent
judges by that time the stock market
should exhibit some symptoms of activ-
ity and give a line upon which the
wind blows
The market generally closed dull and
irregular.
