Office Fifty Years in One Family.

A remarkable feature of the elec-
tiOn held this week is commented
upon in Taymouth township, where
d. d. Ross, Democrat, was elected
Supervisor. 1t transpires that for
upward of fifty years. or during near
ly the whole of the townships exist
ence, the Office of Supervisor has been
in the Ross family. Ross grand
father, one of the earliest settlers in
Saginaw County, was for many years
Supervisor during and before Civil
War days. When he became too old
to continue in the duties the Office
descended to his son, by the same
name, who likewise held it for many
years. Now comes the grandson, who
is the third in direct family line to
hold the Office of Supervisor in Tay-
mouth 1t Is believed not another
record in Office holding such as this
can be found in the State of Michigan.

CHAPTER XVI.


BY return Of post came note de-
scriptive of the intense fervOr Of Miss
Fergusson's gratitude, and announcing
that forlorn orphans intention Of ac-
cepting dear Miss Grand's most kind
and benevolent invitation without de-
lay.
Jane was in quite little flutter of
excitement at the thought of receiving
Giffords protege. Her own pretty
bedroom must be given up to her. be-
cause it faced the east, and 1t would
be cheerful for the poor child to have
the sun and the smell of the early
spring flowers every morning when she
got up. The summer curtains should
be put up in the parlor month earlier
than usual, that the room might have
a cheerful. airy look to eyes accus-
toned to the grace and lightness of
Continental houses. She should send
to Haughton for some books of a more
amusing and less substantial texture
than the few old volumes which
formed the staples of her own intellec-
tual resources.
"And you think that Miss Ferguson
will care for sunshine, and crocuses.
and pretty little improving stories,
Jane! BY =! If she's at all what
remember her mother, she'll rather
surprise your simple mind when you
see her! The worst style Of adven-
turess-an affected, painted woman,
making up TO every disreputable mar
quis and countess in Baden and leav-
ing her ragged children to run loose all
over the place. That's my recollection
of dear Miss Fergusson's mamma"
"But no reason that the poor girl
should have grown up like her. Dear
Clifford, you wouldn't say all these
things If you knew how dreadfully
nervous am at the thought Of re-
ceiving her. I, who never have a WIS.,
itor within my doors except you and
Mr. Follett."
At James especial request, Mohup
had consented to be at the cottage to
receive Miss FERGUSON; and the car
rlage that had brought her from the
station being already within the garden
gates, he was raising Miss Grand's
spirits as to the scheme in speeches
like the one just recorded.
"I wonder whether ! ought to meet
her at the door, Clifford? 1 am so shy
of strangers. and yet / would do any
thing to make her feel at home. Now,
II you were to go out in the hall? You
know better than do what would be
the right sort Of thing to say"
''Take my word for it, Jane, Mrs.
Fergusson's daughter won't want any
assistance Of yours or mine to set her
at home! Ny advice to you is. never

meant TO get Dack some OF his money,
if he could; and he got back some-Of
mine, ought to say, for l had lost
every farthing of his the next night;
and then. 1 believe, he went on maxi
ing up some cock-and-bull story about
his bad health and his children. and
his ill-luck-as if had anything to do
with his children and his bad health
and 1 suppose wrung this precious
promise that they harp upon now out
of me! Now you know the whole
truth and you may just do as you like
about Miss Ferguson. They were a
cursed bad lot when I last saw them;
and my opinion is, to shut their mouths
at once with a flve-pound note-or ten
pounds, just as you think necessary
and have done with them"
In which opinion Clifford was un-
doubtedly wise. The Fergussons were
a bad lot. 1t was not his fault If the
father chose to ruin himself and not
provide for his children. Such prom
ise as his, given under such circum-
stances, would certainly have been re-
deemed at the very highest market
value by five-pound note-or ten as
he suggested, for very exceptional
and fancy price. But poor Jane, out Of
the foolish fullness Of her heart. saw
otherwise. The vision Of that desper-
ate, white-faced man suing to Clifford
rose before her in real, not acted,
pathos; she felt that he was under a
moral obligation to hold out his hand
If he could to Fergusson's child; and
that it was her place to bring him to
see his duty, and to assist him in car
rying that duty out. MOhun was too
really Indifferent on the subiect-his
first rage at being called upon to take
trouble Over-to contest her wishes
long; and it ended by James writing n
kind note and asking Miss FERGUSON
to come, as soon as her visit at Haugh
ton was over, and spend week at
Chesterford-"when Miss Grand. an
old friend Of Mr.. Mohun's, would have
more opportunity for ascertaining Miss
Fergusson's wishes and capabilities
than it would be possible to do in the
hurried course of morning visit or a
letter.
"And I hope you will like Miss Fer
gusson when you get her, Jane" were
Gifford's last words before he left.
"You know it's your own plan, and you
must just take all it will involve you in
on your own head. They were
cursed bad lot when l last saw them at
Baden, cursed bad lot, and there's
something about the letter that makes
me think pretty much the same of
them still"
Ominous words, that Jane remem-
bered but too well before many more
days were past!

HATS OFF TO
HEN OF MISSOURI.
Agricultural Report Shows No
Other Product OF State 20 Val.
liable a. Egss.

The Missouri hen promises to be-
come even more famous than the Mis-
souri, mule and much more profitable
to the Missouri farmer and fancier.
According to reports just completed
by the Missouri State Agricultural
College, during 1907 53,000.000 doz-
ems of eggs we're shipped from Mis-
souri, to other parts of the United
States, not counting the thousands
of dozens consumed at the tables of
Missourians. No other farm product
has yielded so much profit as the hen.
The products of the hen sold for more
than $2,000,000 last year.
The "hen fruit belt" lies contiguous
to Kansas City, where some of the
largest and finest poultry farms In the
State are situated. The hen is profita-
BILE, as will be seen by this estimate
made by the Missouri State Agricul-
tural College:
Food for the he'll one year. eighty
cents; products of the average hen,
240 eggs per annum, at two cents
apiece, equals $3.50, or a net profit
of 81 a hen a year"
Ernest Kellerstrass, owner of the
highest priced hen in the world, who
owns the largest poultry farm in
the world. and perhaps the finest
equipped, says 1t costs about one cent
for every egg produced. Mr.. Keller
strass has hens that 1t costs $500 a
year to take care of, but these hens
are valued in the hundreds of dol
lars; in fact, they cannot be bought,
for it Is never known but that one
of these eggs may produce chicken
worth several thousand dollars, and
Mr.. kellerstrass is averse to letting
his fine breed of crystal white Orping-
ton chickens pass out of his control
for a few hundred dollars that he
might get for a setting of eggs.
There are many fine poultry farms
around Kansas City in the "egg belt,
but Kellerstrass owns the finest. On
his farm of $50 acres are his own
private gas we'll and electric light
plant. His Matching pens are heated
by natural gas and lighted by cleo
tricity. He has steam heated barns
and chicken coops on rubber tired
wheels that are pushed about over
the farm. His fine hens all have trap
nests and every egg is automatically
stamped with the time and date 1t Is
laid and when Matched out careful
register is kept OF the growth OF tho
young chicken. It's weights and meas
urements are taken at regular inter-
walls and If by the time the chick has
reached the age Of six months it is
found to contain well qualified points
that will go toward making it win
ner at the poultry shows it Is put in
with the fancy chickens. If not it is
cast off and killed and fed to the
farm hands.
Kellerstrass owns 5000 or 5000
chickens, among which are 200 or
more hens and roosters valued at
from $3.50 to $4,000. An order for
$1,000 chicken Is an ordinary busi-
ness transaction with him. lie sold
