Hens That win Lay In winter.

henn Ehat Will Lay In winter.
The latest characteristic which the
poultry raiser Is endeavoring to estab-
lish In the several egg-laying strains
Of hens is the early maturity Of pull
let's, with the consequent laying, dur
Ing the season when eggs are scarcest
and bring the highest prices.
A Maine breeder reports lot of
twenty-nine April-hatched pullets
which we're selected because they had
begun to lay in the latter part Of Au-
gust.
From September / until the end of
April these birds laid on an average of
115 eggs each, az a calculated profit
Of over So per bird II such profits
could be realized on the majority of
the hens kept for laying. the elusive
fancy profits of the poultry business
would be realized.
The breeding OF poultry to type is
now so generally accomplished that the
suggestion TO breed a race of birds
which will be winter egg,producers
warrants the belief in its early achieve
ment.

One OF the popular faiiacies that Is

any one with no previous training or

earth In various parts Of the West,
and Its reports will constitute valu-

engaged In agriculture to embark in
It,
The government has risen to the
need OF demonstrating that the day of
haphazard and scratching of the sur
face of the earth is passed, and that

training, II not thorough scientific edu-
cation. is needed. 1t is the aim of the
Bureau of Soils to establish accurately
the nutrition values of the earth In
varying sections for producing the
greatest abundance of suitable crops,
and with such definite basis to help
the husbandman proceed with greater
certainty toward his goal of achieve
ment. This sort Of official knowledge
Is sure to enable man to make many
blades of grass or grain grow where
few or none grew before. for It's natu-
raj development will be the intelligent

EVENING CHAT

Does your daily work exhaust you?
Do you feel absolutely worn out mind
and body, and maybe soul, when you
crawl into bed at night?
Do you wonder how you can hold out
to the end of the week and when Sunday
comes wonder II you can get through an
other week?
No. this is not patent medicine ad-
vertisement. however much it may sound
that way.
1t is simply a suggestion that any wo-
man who is doing more than she normal
ly should and for whom it is impossible
to take the big rests that she needs-and
it's terrible how many come under that
category-should make sure that she is
taking all the little rests along the way
that she possibly can.
