why They DON'T Lay.

Many who keep hens are asking
themselves just about now why their
pullets don't lay, when the fact is that
lot Of their young stock was hatch
ed too late, or was not given proper
food and care during growth. The
size and general appearance OF a pull
let does not always denote the time
when she should commence producing
eggs. have seen fiocks of pretty
big nice pullets and they would lay
hardly an egg all winter. The first
essential for winter eggs Is the right
kind of stock to produce them. Food
will not supply that want; 1t may
help some and in some instances it's
pretty difficult to help the matter very
much by giving extra care. The strain
has got to be of the right sort If they
prove themselves reliable and profit
able layers. After being in the pou1-
try business so long and seeing so
many people fuss and experiment and
work in the effort to get eggs from
stock that had no eggs to lay, no in
clination to make eggs or ability to
commence to get ready to lay, it is
impressed all the stronger upon my
mind that there is a whole lot to this
hen business besides feed and care

warning to Dairymen.

We have repeatedly warned the
dairymen that the oleomargarine law
is likely to be amended next winter,
and that the amendments proposed
will destroy the value OF the law, so
far as concerns the protection OF dairy
products. Again, we ask you-have
you written your congressman about
it? Do you know his views? Does
ne know what you want him to do in
the matter? Does he know what you
are going to do to him in the cam
paign next year if he doesn't give you
a square deal? This is no Joke. 1t
is a serious proposition. and no time
is to be lost If the oleomargarine law
is to be preserved in its present form.

Sunshine in the Dairy.

Sunshine is the dairyman's best
friend. When the sun beats down
hot in the summer we are apt to think
it an enemy, bat week of clouds,
even in July, casts a gloom over
everything and makes both man and
beast at cross purposes with the world.
Sunshine is required to kill germs and
microbes and keep both animal and
human dispositions sweet. The Yer
monter's COW barn that must be built
so warm and tight lacks sunshine to
keep the inmates in the best Of health.

atory, writing in the World To-day for
November, holds that an adequate
cause for part of the variations may
be found in the movement of the ice
water and air from the pole toward
the equator and Its return.
Observations made simultaneously
at Honolulu and Berlin showed that
as the latitude at Honolulu decreased
that at Berlin increased with the move
ment of the pole. The reverse also
was true. This means positively that
there is shifting of the axis of the
sarth.
A Japanese astronomer, Kimura, ar
CUES that the movement of the earth's
axis and the pole can be explained By
the theory that the center of gravity
of the earth is not fixed, but moves
backward and forward five or six feet
every year. Mr.. Frost thinks how
ever, that this explanation cannot be
considered as established by fact.-St.
Louis t-Dispatch.

HOW THE POLE "woBBLEs. {"

Just to perplex Cook and Peary In
their efforts to prove they reached the
north pole, the scientists now soberly
declare that the pole does not stand
still. Instead, 1t moves frequently,
swaying back and forth enough to per-
pick astronomers for more than cen
fury.
The movement Is very slight-never
more than sixty feet-but even that
little bit throws the exact mathemat-
les of the heavens into error and, of
course, a north pole discoverer cannot
attempt to say that he planted the
flag exactly at the pole, when he can
not for the life of him tell whether the
pole is where he stood or sixty feet
away.
After years of observation of the
mysterious movements from astronom
zeal stations in all parts of the earth
the International Geodetic Association
incorporated in It's report a diagram
showing the movements of the pole
from 1895 to 1899. This map shows
that the end of the earth's axis moved
in curves and ellipses, one inside an
other, without seeming regularity At
no time Is the pole more than thirty
feet from its normal position, and the
diameter of its course Is never more
than sixty feet.
There have been various explana-
tions of the movements of the pole

WHERE TO LIVE IN LONDON.
A Good Address of More Importance
Than Square Meals.

A Good Address OF More Importance
Than Square Meals.
In the writing room of a London
club few days ago an Englishman
was writing letter while an Ameri'
can friend waited for him. Presently
the Engllshman folded his letter, put
1t in an envelope and proceeded to
address 1t.
"Td know you were an English
man II I'd only see you addressing
an envelope" said the American, &C
cording to a New York Suns London
correspondent "Englishmen always
seem to put all they possibly can into
an address"
Well the address of an Englishman
is very important thing, almost as
important as his pedigree. A good
address, especially in London, is more
highly regarded than square meals,
the latter often being sacrificed for
the former. This great truth has been
recognized by a woman who wrote to
an Australian newspaper:
There are only certain parts of
London in which one can live and be
recognized, 1t is divided into dis
tricts, the most important of which

Attacks His Mothers Will.

Because his father, George 1. Richard
son, 70 years old, prominent for years
In Baltimore insurance circles, is about to
marry again, William Bowley Richard:
son, his son, fled a caveat to the will OF
his mother, Mrs. Mary Richardson, who
died in August, 1908. She left an es-
tate of about 100000 to her husband,
giving as a reason for making no be
quest to her son her belief that her
husband would at his death make ample
provision for him. The caveat states
that Mrs. Richardson, when making the
win, was not in her right mind. Inc
son says he is attacking the will because
of his fathers contemplated marriage.
The prospective bride is Mrs. LOUIS
Bowley, widow of about 40 years; her
husband was a cousin of the hichafu-
sons.
