"EGG-A-DAY' LAYING HEN.
Experiments Show the Egg Yield May
Be Greatly Increased by scien-
tific Selection.
BY 3. &. Lara.

Poultry raisers in the United States
are greatly indebted to the thorough
ness of the tests made at our expert
ment stations for a great many i'm
portant improvements in every
branch of the poultry industry.
These experimental farms have
proved beyond doubt that by syste-
matte feeding and scientific breeding
of hens the latter can be made to
greatly increase their number of eggs
and also improve the richness and
weight of the same, thereby raising
their market value
The gratifying success thus far at
tanned by experiments in the way of
Increasing the reproducing quail
ties of certain breeds of hens has
made breeders hopeful of securing
still greater achievements along the
same line in the near future.
Perhaps to no state in the union is
due a greater credit than to Maine

HOW TO BEGIN WITH BEES.
There Are Several Ways to Start, Such
as Buying Hive from Neighbor, or
with Nucleus.

| am reminded that some who would
keep a few bees have none to start
with and would welcome a little light
In that direction. All right; but you
would better be careful how you mon
key with bees unless you want life
time job, for, like photography, once a
a person gets a good start it is almost
impossible to quit. There are several
ways to start, such as buying a full
hive from some one who advertises,
or just buying a nucleus or two, which
are little hives of bees just started.
Or one might probably buy from a
neighbor who had few bees to spare.
I would prefer to get them in movable
frame hives, or, If in the old-fashioned
kind, get them cheap and transfer
comb bees and all into movable
frames. At any rate, two or three
will be enough for the beginner until
he acquires experience.
OF course | know that they can be
kept sometimes to a little advantage
in boxes and kegs, but I would COM
pare such a procedure to narrowing
with brushy sapling instead Of using
a good disk harrow. In fact, II you
are going to keep bees In box or
keg, It Is a waste of time to read up
on any present-day methods. as the
method will not permit Of much ex.
animation or handling.-B. d. Thomas.

for the improvement and betterment
generally in poultry raising.
Prof. George @. Gowell, who died
last summer, engaged in this inter-
esting and profitable work and his
discoveries influencing the hens Won
derful production of eggs are claiming
earnest attention in every section Of
the country.
A summary of the results of a Sc
ries of experiments shows that Of
some 1000 hens placed under observa-
ton for longer or shorter periods
about 20 had laid more than 200 eggs
apiece in a year. while two hens, both
of Plymouth Rock breed, and both
marked according to standard regula-
tons, have stood out so conspicuous
ly for their performances that they
may be counted among the most
profitable fowls in this country, if not
in the world.
The special pet of Prof Gowell's
heart, and the bird which has demon
strated the successfulness of his un-
firing efforts and discoveries to make
hens produce larger and better quail
ity of eggs, yielded 251 eggs the first
year She would be regarded as Of
the egg type by those people who pro-
fess to tell the egg-yielding capacity
of hens by their forms and markings.
A number of other hens yielded 240,
23S and 235 eggs each for the year,
not one, however, producing less than
200.
Prof. Gowell's methods of selecting
bi eeding stock for high egg produc-
ton are to save the eggs from the
hens of greatest egg yield and hatch
chicks from those.
BY so doing his experimental pens
are now filled with pullets and cock
eres the ancestors of which came
from stock that had given 200 or more
eggs IN a year.

The German Empress is said by ar.

of any woman in Europe. She gives
the credit to a soap manufactured ex-

muscles while acting as a tonic to the
cuticle of the face and neck. The en-
press uses peppermint as a dentrifice.

How often do you eat this food?
A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain

the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if tho
article had appeared in an English or

expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter OF fact Great Britain
