A Busy Horse Is Seldom Sick.

Many farmers have a great amount
of work for their horses during the
busy season, but not much for them
to do in the winter. AS a consequence
the horses come through the winter
looking well, but are weak and easily
tired with the burden Of heavy spring
work. The lack of regular exercise
for several months has reduced their
general vitality and muscular powers.
1t is better for horses to have some
regular daily work in winter in order
to keep their muscles hard and strong,
even If it is but a few hours in the
harness at a time. Then they will not
be weak and fiabby when spring work
opens.
When it is impossible to furnish them
work let them out in the lot or field
where they can browse a little and kick
UP their heels.

a HOME SONG.

l turned an ancient poets book,
And found upon the page:
"Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage"
Yes, that is true, and something more;
You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.
But every house where Love abides
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home, sweet nome
For there the heart can rest.

How Many Eggs VIII IA Hen Lays

How Many Eggs VIII IA Hen LRys
Here is what Professor Graham said
about egg production recently to the
students of the Ontario Agricultural
College at Guelph:
II find 1t a very difficult matter to
get an accurate idea Of the number Of
eggs that the average hen in the Prov
ince of Ontario produces in year. l
am very much inclined to believe that
the average hen does not produce
eighty eggs In twelve months. / be-
lieve that the average hen at the aver
age experiment station does not pro-
duce 10 eggs per year. One would ex-
pect that at the various experiment
stations and colleges which are scat
tered over the United States and Can
ada they would probably get as good
an average production as on the
poultry farm. They have many condi-
tons present which are not present on
the average farm, and they have other
conditions that are probably more IA
vorable Considering all things, we
should get somewhere near the aver
age production at the experiment sta
ton.
81 have come to the conclusion that
the average production Is somewhere
about 100 eggs. At the Maine station
they had a production Of 100 eggs per
hen on an average. They have been
working on the trap nest system for a
number of years, and, as far as l know,
their record last year was 1874 eggs per
hen, which means that they had a
gain Of about fourteen eggs per hen
over earlier records. / think that you
can produce wonderful Improvement
by selection in the first one or two
years, and after that progress becomes
slow. You must have n great many
conditions favorable to make advance
ment From what Professor Gowell
has told me, they had not used any
males in their breeding pens that have
not been produced from hens that pro-
duce 200 eggs per hen per year. All
the hens in their breeding pens have
been bred from hens that laid 80 eggs
per year, so they might be termed
strong producers. No hen Is used for
breeding purposes until after her egg
record has been kept for twelve
months"

National Resources and Waste.

National Resources and Waste.
Conservation of natural resources
and prevention of waste are two sub
jects that go together. Conservation
of forests, for example, means that
they should not lie cut faster than need
ed. The stOppage of waste is corol-
larry to the main proposition. The waste
in the manufacture of lumber Is some
thing enormous. The old-fashioned
sawmill, when it made an arch board,
also made a quarter of an inch of saw
dust. This waste has been reduced by
band saws and scientific saving, but
there is still enough sawdust made to
build cities if it could be utilized. The
National Conservation Commission Ia
trying to find out what uses can be
made of sawdust beyond its meager use
as fuel
1t Is estimated that. under present
methods Of mining coal. more than a
ton Is wasted for every ton that is got
ten to market. Caved-in mines, which
cannot proftably be reopened, contain
more coal than has been taken out Of
all the mines. 1t is lost forever. The
commission waHts to know whether
everything possible has been done to
lessen the loss while the mine is In
operation.
These are big practical questions.
Handled in big, practical way they
mean great saving to the people, saw
ing added to the national wealth.

For years past fumes of tobacco
have been used for the purpose Of fu-
migration In green and hot houses.
But, due to the fact that this is not
always effective with all kinds Of In
sects, other insecticides have been ex-
perimented with, and hydrocyanic acid
gas has been found to be very effec-
tive One of the drawbacks with this
is that in addition to DISCRIMINATING in
sect life 1t will also infict injury on
the plants If allowed to remain In the
Enclosure too long. 1t is likewise
deadly poison, and great care has to be
exercised In the use of it.

Bryan Growing.

For eighteen years William Jennings
Bryan has been in the public eye We
heard him first seventeen years ago at
the Crete, Neb., Chautauqua. He gave
an address on the Young Man in Poll
tics" He read it from manuscript and
'. remember very well his making an
apology for doing so. Think of Bryan
reading a speech now, except where 1t
is formal address like letter of ae-
ceptance or something of that sort He
gave as his excuse his being busy in
Congress. all of which was true and to
his credit.
He made wonderful impression on
those who heard him for the first time
and as the years go by, his eloquence
Is not dimmed or his intellect lessene,l
His has been a continual growth and
he has grown, not in a hot house, not
In monastery as the monks of old did
when they retired for reflection and
study. He has not grown as the phi
losopher does who retires from the
world to study and contemplate this
life. Not as the preacher does who
shuts himself up for a season while he
applies his mind unto wisdom He has
grown in the light of day. The sun of
publicity has shone on him with rare
effulgence and brilliancy all these years
for he was in politics, and If they do
not find out a mans innermost soul
there, 1t cannot be found
He has kept himself clear of all en-
tangling alliances The Standard Oil
Go. has made no inroads on him. He
is not vulnerable to any of the malign
attacks of corporations or of cheap
politicians, but he stands there like a
for all corners. We are not afraid OF
anything that Hearst and Roosevelt and
al their allies can say or do to him.
He may not be elected, but the Re-
publicans will know that they have
been i'll a fight before they are done
with this campaign. And if he does
not win. let it be set down that his
contentious have been eternally right,
for truth is as eternal as the hills and
truth crushed to earth shall rise again
We have no fears from the assaults
Of intrenched power or of the minions
Of pclf. Bryan stands unassailable and
unafraid. He may be imposed upon by
INSCRIPTIONS men in his own party be-
cause, being pre-eminently honest HIM
self, he expects the same measure of
honesty from others, but he will never
be thrown down on account of any mis-
step on his part. And we say such a
record is glory enough. The presidency
would add nothing to the affection in
which he is held by his party. An Of
fee will add nothing to his power, for
princes and kings pay heed to what he
has to say. And then, Theodore Roose-
welt has tie nerve, the monumental gall
to stand up and say, 'eTaft's defeat
would be a public calamity" Do you
believe it? Do you believe that with
Bryan on the Democratic ticket, it
would be a calamity to defeat Taft?
We do not We will take the risk
