at charming forty beside a woman Of sixty
three; yet his first untroubled judgment was
to award the apple where It belongs"
"The man of forty evidently. began.
The worst enemy of the woman of forty is
the man Of forty" persisted Otero. "She Is
the mirror In which he breads to see the
shadow of his own degeneracy-forgetting that
his wear and tear of ten years past have not
been hers. So the man of forty marries the
girl Of twenty-three. In spite of his wear and
tear, she finds in the charm Of the full man her
profound satisfaction-without looking ahead.
Why look ahead? In Paris we see daily men Of
forty making inexperienced young fellows ap-
pear foolish. For example, I will cite the best

Otero did not cite his name, so I will initiate
her wise discretion.
THE man of forty is vain and suspicious
said Otero. Even when in full possession, OF
his physical and mental PROJECTIONS, he must
punish unonending loneliness that walks be-
side him In the path of years. oh, yes, he
makes the woman OF forty suffer! The fair
creature would be more than human not to re-
sent 1t. Unspoken malice in her laughing eye
causes the fatuous fellow to grit his teeth with
hate. And SO two perfect creatures, at the

EXCELLENT RATION FOR EGGS.
Prof. Chambers Ascribes His Success
to Intelligent Feeding, Good Care
and Trap Nesting.

At a poultry institute, held by the
Colorado agricultural college last
summer, Prof. w. g. Chambers exhib-
tied a Rhode Island Red hen that has
laid 200 eggs in n year.
Prof. Chambers keeps from forty
to nifty hens on a town lot and has
to buy all his feed. He keeps an ac-
curate account of all expenses, and
last year for feed, louise killer, straw
end all ~incidentals, the cost was one
dollar per hen. He uses trap nests
and keeps no hen that lays less than
40 eggs in twelve months. The av-
erage for his entire flock is a little
over twelve dozen eggs q hen per
annum.
The average price in the open mar
ket for the year for eggs has been rs
cents a dozen. This makes at market
price an income of three dollars a
hen for the year-two dollars a hen
more than the cost OF feed where all
feed has to be purchased.
Prof. Chambers has made more than
this amount because he has sold some
of his eggs for Matching. He ascribess
his success to intelligent feeding
good care and trap-nesting. His hens
are given dry feed entirely. He gives
a light feed of whole wheat and corn
three times a day, scattering the grain
in the litter.
He keeps before his hens all the
time in s~elf-feeding hoppers a dry
mash made Of the following mixture:
