T have never tried to get the country out of me and to know at last that I am going to have my dream of owning farm come true is the greatest delight Of my life.

 Mr. Gilbert's farm. situated on the WOOuteX EOdQ IUuT AAOAh romery, comprises 140 acres of fer tile land, part of which Is woodland. the site of the homestead being beau tiful grove It is unusually good land for a dairy and stock farm, and MT.

1t would be, perhaps, inaccurate to

degree. Necessity may be as potent
factor in the case of choice But
whatever the explanation there can
be no doubt that the consumption of
horseflesh is increasing in Paris to
an enormous extent. 1899 the years

Soft Shell Eggs.

1t is generally believed that the SOFT
shelled egg occasionally laid by the
hen is due to deficiency of lime in the
food Some experiments carried out
at the experiment station, Kansas,
however. seem to indicate that this
is not the risht explanation. 1t rather
appears to be case of arrested deyel-
opment due to nervous shock. and to
be analogous to abortion III mammals.
Soft shelled eggs were laid at the
experiment station by hens subjected
to nervous, excitement. And 1t is
shown that bn an ordinary diet a hens
system normally contains enough lime
for the shells of five or six eggs. III
lime is withheld. then, after laying
these five or six, the hen viii cease

norton to the amount given, though
