submitted during an ancient inquiry
of the Commission into the use of

Danger of Lying In Bed.

Lack of muscular exercise is the
first result of lying in bed. AS a re-
suit the appetite is weakened, the di-
gestive action slows down, and the
muscles of the stomach and abdomen
cease to act upon the intestinal mass.
When the body is in a recumbent po-
sition the heart works with the least
expenditure of effort and the least
fatigue, and the circulation and the
functional activity are decreased.
But unless the subject is exception
ally vigorous all the benefits are coun-
terbalanced by dangers. In bed. the
subject is shut away from fresh air
and sunlight. The result of that de-
privation is a condition similar to
anemia But the supreme menace to
the weak OF the aged confined to bed
is the clogging of the pulmonary cir
cuIation, an action which frequently
results in passive congestion of both
sides Of the lungs. For this reason the
simple fracture of a bone may be the
cause Of death. because when the pa
tient lies in bed there is no movement
Of the muscles to act as an incentive
to deep breathing Weekly.

"weIl, What of lt9" Kathryn Asked

PLANTATION, but under Kathryn's persua-
sive direction she wrote him the fol-
lowing note:
L am going to ask you to forget
what happened last night, to treat it
as though it never occurred Do not
try to see me, for 1 never want to
meet you again. Rose Parsons"
And now you are coming to our
summer cottage with me-" Kathryn
said decidedly, and before Rosy recoY-
cred her breath, Kathryn had explain
ed to Mrs. Parsons, packed Rosy's suit
case, and borne her away.
AS the cruel letter slipped from her
fingers into the mail box Rosy gave a
little sob, and might have written
another to recall it, if she had not ac-
cidentally come across Hugh on the
way to the depot. He did not see her
as he was walking beside a remark
ably pretty girl, and the two were
laughing and talking in an animated
manner, although there was nothing
loverlike in their attitude. Still, to
Rosy, this was proof positive of his
perfdy.
Just as Hugh was thinking with joy
full anticipation of the evening, he re-
ce we'd Rosy's letter, and could scarce
Iy believe his eyes as he read the few
words her epistle contained
Well, of all things!" he said at
last, drawing a deep breath.
If he had been like some men, he
might have retired into a sulky ST.
Ience, and pride would have reared a
wall as high as heaven between the
two, but Hugh was made of different
material. Instead of visiting Rosy,
he went out to see her mother, and
after little time convinced Mrs. Par
sons that he really did love her daugh-
ter.

Mrs. Parsons confessed, but Kathryn
was back of it, and took Rosy up to

friend" Hugh cried, more bewildered
than ever
1T was something she told Rosy,
Mrs Parsons insisted, and Hugh
left the house trying to puz-
zle out what the trouble could
be.
Then he went to Richard Steward,
and asked him If he knew anything
about the matter

young gentleman returned, and then

works in the poultry yard as well as
anywhere else. A certain proportion
Of the pullets stand up under the
strain of heavy laying better than the
rest. They may lay no more eggs
during the spring and early summer,
but along in July and August, when
the thermometer registers 90 on the
north side of the house, the difference
will show. They remain active and
vigorous and are still laying eggs clear
up to the time they begin to moult.
Their weaker sisters begin to be a bit
peevish when hot weather comes on
and some of them die We don't think
much about it, perhaps, partly be-
cause we are used to it and partly
because We feel we have already got
most of our profit from their winters
laying. The thing that ought to ap-
peal to us is that there was a funda-
mental weakness present which caused
them to break down. And, further,
that we have a bunch of young stuff
coming on, a good percentage OF which
have inherited the same hidden weak
ness. In the early spring all hens,
good. bad and Indifferent, lay a good
number of eggs. The chances are that
as many eggs from the weak pullets
have been Matched as from strong
ones. We have been using pullets as
breeders without giving them a chance
to die. Pullets should never be used
as breeders because they lay small
eggs that hatch small chicks which
are likely to be weak. Only vigorous
mature hens that have proved that
they can stand up under the strain of
heavy laying, stand the hot weather
and be active when it is cold should
be used to renew the flock All the
inferior hens and none but these
should be marketed. So much for the
breeding problem.

were SO one might simply say buy
more hens" 1t is a question of coax
ing the hen already on the farm to fay
enough eggs to pay her board and to
produce daughters that will lay more
eggs next year than she is laying this
year. 1t is not only question of pro-
ducing daughters that will lay more
eggs but larger eggs as well. 1Ie
present agitation about selling eggs by
weight may never amount 10 anything
as far as practical results are con-
cerned, but it is doing this one thing.
1t is loudly advertising the fact that
there is a great difference between a
dozen large eggs and a dozen small
ones. The public is demanding and
paying for large eggs. On many mar
kets there is a spread of ten cents a
dozen between large uniform eggs and
small eggs of equal freshness.
The question of increasing egg
profits will not be solved alone by so
feeding and properly caring for the
hens now on the farm that they will
produce more eggs and will produce
daughters that Guido them in the mat
ter of production. 1t is a question of
getting more daughters as well. This
in turn is a question of higher fertility
in eggs.
In order to get at the root of the
matter let US take the last proposition
first. How shall we get more hens to
lay more eggs to make more money
for the Kansas farmer?
There are two problems at the bot
tom of the question of higher fertility
in eggs. The first is a breeding prob
lem and can quite easily be solved on
the farm. The second is a question OF
incubation and may be avoided.
The breeding problem is one of com
mon sense. 1t is a commo practice
among farmers and fanciers to breed
from pullets. Everyone knows that the
pullet laying year is the most profit
able in a hens life so far as eggs are
concerned. Eighty per cent of the
winter eggs in this section are laid by
pulIets. 1t is the most natural thing
in the world to set some of these pull
let eggs. This is where the trouble
begins.

found to be 1909, while one hundred

A small chick may grow into good

Because a pullet can Law a lot OF

Some Authoritative Facts and Suggestions Regarding Problem
PuTes Lay More Than Older Hens But Their Eggs
Do Not Produce Strong Chicks
When Hatched
IippncOtt Agricultural COllegeI

THE average hen in Kansas lays
about seventy eggs in a year.
These eggs at the average price
would be worth a trifle over dollar.
At the present price OF feed it costs
considerably over dollar to feed a
hen year: Hence the margin of profit
appears on the wrong side OF the
ledger.
The average hen in Kansas lays
eggs that will weigh an ounce and
three-quarters each, or twenty-oue
ounces dozen. The legal weight OF a
dozen eggs in many states is twenty
four ounces. Half the eggs sold in
Kansas would be rejected if the legal
weight of other states were adhered
to. And to be really first class eggs
should weigh better than two ounces
each.
The average hen in Kansas is laying
eggs that give not to exceed IS per
cent fertility and less than so per cent

be satisfied with So
