1rffR GRRATAMERICAN HEN

For men or women who would give
to poultry raising the intelligent atten-
ton that any business requires to make
1t go there are undoubtedly golden OPP
portunities. AS everybody knows, poul-
try raising has grown to be one Of the
most important industries in the United
States. There are people who are not
only making snug incomes, but are get
ting rich at poultry raising A quarter
Of century ag, the poultry business
as money making proposition cut a
comparatively small figure; not alone
because the products then were away
down in value, but because then there
were not the facilities to aid in incuba-
ton and in safe brooding. Now it is
said by person who pretends to know
that If the eggs eaten every year in the
United States could be gathered be-
forehand and placed end to end, they
would reach thirty times around the
earth. In addition enough eggs are eX-
ported every year to reach from Den
yer to New York. Valued at an aver
age Of 20 cents a dozen the annual egg
crop of the United States reaches a to-
tai Of $3OOOOO,OOO.
All eggs look alike to the average
consumer until they have been broken.
But they are not alike in looks to the
initiated, or in wholesomeness, or in
flavor: and the general public is be-
coming gradually aware of that fact.
Viewed externally, it seems as if moth
ing could get inside an egg. Apparent
ly, it is sealed Theoretically. Developed
inside the body Of the hen, away from
communicating influences, it appears to
be safe. But it is not. ''It is posi-
bic" says a high official in the Agricul-
tural Department Of the United States,
which is making an extended study of
poultry products, "for an egg to become
infected with heterogeneous, either
before it is laid or after The shell is
porous and offers no greater resistance
to heterogeneous which cause disease
than it does to those which cause the
egg to spoil.'
The food of the hen should be abso-
lutely clean, her surroundings should
be sanitary, and she should never be

that the United States presents great
diversity of climate, and that it has
been peopled from many different ma
lions, of widely varying habits of life
and thought. Such a diversity of ele-
ments united in one national entity
would be a great source of weakness
were it not for the constant travel for
which Americans are noted. Much of
this is due to the annual conventions

According to a New York literary
journal, leading American publisher
who has always had a fair number OF
first-rate and successful novels on his
lists Of new books has this year decided
to exclude fiction altogether from his
plans for the coming season. He holds
that as an art fiction is nearing ex-
the discriminating public but the nov
elists themselves are conscious Of this
remarkable fact. The publisher is
quoted as saying that the trouble is not,
as some have thought, with the mate
rial available. Life is rich and full OF
possible plots, and, as a matter of fact,
novelists never had as much to say as
they have just now. Only, "they have
never said it so duly" and inartistical-
ly, and, therefore, readers will weary
of sociological treatises in the form of
| novels, Of psychological analysis, of
clinical realism and minute description,
and give up the modern novel entirely.
In other words, fiction as an ''art form"
extinction This agrees with an equally
gloomy and emi-philOsophical, "evolu-
t1onaP' view which a French critic put
forward some time ago. No art form,
he said, was permanent. The essay is
practically dead, although futile at
tempts are occasionally made to revive
| it; the sonnet is dead the poetic drama
is dead. What reason is there, then,
for assuming that fiction is eternalf
| For his own part, he did not hesitate
| to predict its early disappearance. He
contends tha! method, restraint, form,
beauty, respect for tradition have been
| discarded by the novelists, and that
their work, with few exceptions, is cha
otto and nondescript, containing a little
Of everything but hardly anything that
can be called art. In such pessimistic
and sweeping talk much depends on the
definition of art or form" We have
heard that modern music is not art,
and it is not strange to hear that polit-
ical, social, psychological, analytical
novels are not art" But is not the
conception CT fiction, of art in fiction,
! undergoing a change? Was not Shake
speare called barbarian by the strict
artists of his day? Was not Ibsen told
that his poetry was not really poetry?
If noyelists claim greater freedom, are
they not justified by the worlds inter
est in their treatment of the questions
that earlier novelists considered alien
to art? AS to the alleged dullness of
| modern fiction, what will the admirers
Of Mrs Ward, of Mrs Wharton, of
| James, Of Howells, of Conrad, Of Hew-
| lett, Of Miss Sinclair, of a score of 9th
ers, say of the change? The general
reader finds plenty of charm, of inter
| est, of stimulation in the higher branch
es of contemporary fiction, and is not
he the court of last resort? 1t is a
safe guess that generation hence fic-
ton will be as vital and popular as it
now is-which is saying a good deal.

THERE can be no greater mis- take that a business man can make than to be mean in busi- ness. Everybody has heard the proverb of penny wise and pound foolish. A liberal expenditure in the way of business is always sure to be capital investment. There are people in the world who are short- sighted enough to believe that their interest can be best promoted by grasping and clinging to all they can get, and never letting cent slip through their fingers. As general thing, it will be found, other things being equal, that he who is most liberal is most successful in business. Of course, we do not mean it to be inferred that a man should be prodigal in his expen- ditures; but that he should show his customers, if he is trader, or those whom he may be doing any kind of business with, that in all his business transactions, as we'll as social relations, he &C., knowledges the everlasting fact that there can be no permanent prosperity or good feeling in a community where benefits are not reciprocal.
