Use Of Trap Nests 10 surs Way tp
Determine Which Are Layers
and Which Are Drones.

In keeping chickens much depends
on the breeding stock There are sew
eral advertised methods of telling
what hens will produce eggs that will
hatch out good layers, but about the
safest way is to use eggs from hens
that are known to be hardy. The only
absolutely sure way of making selec-
tion for breeding stock, according to
the experts Of the Maine agricultural
station, is by means of data obtained
from the use Of trap nests. Only In
vestigators and an occasional poultry
man, however. can afford the equip
ment and the expense involved In
operating trap nests, but every poul-
tryman can, by observing his young
stock during the fall, select the pull

fulness. and their eggs are available
for breeding during the pullet year.
While the chickens from such eggs
are generally not SO large at maturity
as those from older hens, they do not
appear to lack constitution or vigor
and there is no apparent reason why
they are not desirable for breeding
purposes.

all Europe today more pathetic fg.
ure than Queen Amelie. Brave she
has proved herself to be often, but
there is something about the calm in.
@trepid spirit with which she has faced
this latest trouble, which calls forth
the deep sympathy Of womankind the
world over.
After having had her husband and
her eldest son slain by her side. in the
most shocking fashion. nearly three
years ago. and her own remaining boy
wounded, she has now been compelled
to submit to the loss Of her sons

What Amelie Fears.
Perhaps Queen Amelie's greatest
grief in connection with the recent
tragic events will be the shattered fu.

all hopes for the future are practical

source Of profound sorrow will be the
fact that she will be barred hence

IDEA FOR SEPARATE BLOUSE
Home Needleworl<er May Make One
From Many Different Kinds
Of Materials.

Many Of the new separate blouses
In paisley. persian and dresden designs
are being made from crepe handker-
chiefs, scarfs and mufiers. This is a
hint which may well be taken by the
home needleworker, as these blouses,
Of the silky crepe. are easy to cut and
make up.
Usually there Is figured design in
the middle. then band of plain white
or light color and a. figured border.
This white strip must be allowed for,
and it looks well as the lower part Of
the blouse and the inside Of the
sleeves. thus giving sort of bolero
effect.
Under sheer yelling these crepe
handkerchief waists are draped. and
they lend themselves readily to this
treatment. II you have too many
scarfs Of this sort, or simply wish an
original blouse to match the scarf
worn by everybody nowadays, think
Of this Paris idea and act accordingly.

knIt-In Beads.

Be careful to use a needle fine
enough to go through even the small
est Of the various kinds of beads to
be employed. Prepare a length of
fine thread and pass both ends of the
thread through the eye Of the needle,
thus forming loop through which
hang the end of the wool selected for
knitting.
Begin threading the beads according
to the pattern. When they are all
worked In, cast on on the first row
after the last bead row. The number
Of beads in row Is often found to
be one less than the number Of
stitches. the odd stitch being slipped
without bead at the beginning of
the row for firmness and regularity.
To secure the beads. slip the first
stitch: knit the rest plain. passing
one bead up close to the needle at
every stitch before the silk or wool
Is raised; second. slip one. knit with
out beads.

similar tests are conducted from time

pen OF selected fowls to produce an
average Of ESQ eggs apiece, while the
record for individual hens, much
disputed honor, is considerably above
that figure. The Orpingtons appear to
be quite as good layers as any other
breed. The Brown Leghorns, while
not quite so prolific layers, require
relatively small rations and therefore
ARE considered very economical egg

SELECTION Of GOOD LAYERS
Not Unusual for WeIl-conducted Farm
to Secure Average Of 200 Eggs
Per Hen Per Year.

After the incubator the next most
important development in this indus
try has been the breeding by careful
selection of races Of hens that are ex-
ceptidnal layers, says an exchange.
Et Is not unusual for well-conducted
farm to average nearly 200 eggs per
hen per year. and the tendency is to
improve upon this figure. Several
years ago In Australia an egg-laying
contest was held extending over an
entire year. great number Of breeds
being pitted against each other, and
the average of the winning pen of
nix pullets, averaging from seven to
Twelve months old, was 218 eggs per

frightful indignities as those which
characterized the last revolutionary
outbreak in Barcelona, when the mob
having sacked the converts and mon
asteries. tore the dead monks and
nuns from their tombs, paraded them
about the city, either whole or piece
meal. exposed them to every sort OF
outrage, and ended by setting them up
in grotesque positions at the ruined
entrances of the sacred buildings
from which they had been taken.
Ever since Amelie's husband and
eldest son were assassinated she had
lived in utter terror lest her only re-
naming son. Manuel H., should share
their fate. For herself, her own safety
and welfare. she cared little. Those
who know Amelie realize that when q
cruel death claimed her husband on
that terrible afternoon in February,
1906. her heart was quite broken, and
the only interest left for her in life
lay In her son, Manuel. The domestic
life of King Carlos and Amelie was
utterly unclouded and the queen was
the happiest Of wives and mothers.
Tried to Help the People.
Amelie has been obliged to submit
to seeing the instigators OF, the MUIR

prince not only unpunished, but even
occupying positions of influence and
rank. Indeed. she was brought face
to face with them almost daily and
had to remain silent for the sake of
the young king.
She was debarred from rewarding
those who had endeavored to defend
her husband on the day of his assas-
sination and could not open a Portu-
guese paper without finding It's col

dead husband, which she was power
less to officially or publicly deny.
Since Amelie. then a slender young
woman renowned for her exquisite
beauty. came to Portgual a little over
"a years ago, she has done nothing
but good. Out of her own personal
fortune she has had built and en-.
dowed homes for, crippled children, or.

With the thought in mind that water
is by far the chief element entering

any wonder that the water supply for
