The Lay of the Hen.

How many eggs is the hen
wound up to lay during her natural
life time, do you suppose ?' said
the man who has investigated.
mo idea CHI? Well, sir, good
healthy hen does not fulfill her
destiny until she has turned out
600 eggs, and she gives her eight
years to do 1t in,'' says writer in
Browning's Magazine.
THE first year of her egg pro-
ducing life hen lays 20 eggs, but
in the three succeeding years sho
rolls up the score of $40. This
leaves only $50 that she must
cackle for during the remaining
years that she must stand on duty
in that line, and she divides the
task among those tour years so that
in the Gig she lays only 20 eggs
again-the number she started
with. Then she has ended her c.
rcer as an egg producer, and too of
ten, if she is in the hands of a
thrifty owner, begins another, c.
reer, short and delusive-this time
as the summer boarder spring
chicken.
"An nd speaking of eggs, there is
lot about them. familiar as they
are to everybody, that people don't
suspect. Now here is an egg that
would be a rooster if it were
Matched. Wrinkled eggs hold roost-
ers in embryo. A propoplastic hen
turks in the egg with the smooth
end. ''There is water a-plenty in
an egg, but no more air than there
is in a hammer. So long as you can
keep air out of your egg it will re-
main fresh and sweet, but no one
has ever succeed in keeping it out
by fair means more than six days.
The insidious oxygen is bound to
find it's way through the egg shell
pores. and the only way to save the
egg is to eat it. 1t sounds funny,
but the instant you give an egg
fresh air that instant you ruin its
health -

WOOD DECAY PREVENTED
Money Saved and Much Less Mater
iaI Used.

1t is estimated that a fence
post, which under ordinary condi-
ions would last two years, will, if
given presevative treatment costing
about 10 cents, last eighteen years
The service of other timbers such
as railroad ties, telephone poles,
and mine props, can be doubled and
ment. Today, when the cost of
wood is big item to every farmer,
every stockman, every railorad
manager-to everyone, in fact who
must use timber where it is likely
to decay-this is fact which
should be considered most carefully.
1t is easy to see that if the length
If time that tImbcrs can be used is

will need to be spent in the pur-
chase of timber. Moreover, many
