WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS7
Poultrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or PuIIet 10 Capable Of
] Greater Ego Production.

No matter how successful we may
become in any business we are try
ing all the time to find how we may
increase our profits. To increase our
profits means, of course, an increase
in the output Of our goods, whatever
It may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the pullet
is capable Of the greater egg produc-
ton. There is good argument on both
sides, says the American Cultivator.
Some claim that while hens lay less
than pullets they lay larger and heav-
Ter eggs, and because Of this fact the
eggs command a better price than
those laid by pullets. This is true, but
in many sections Of the United States
eggs are sold without grading, and
consequently the smaller egg is able
to command as good price as the
larger one.
Others are In favor Of pullets be-
cause they lay SO many eggs which,
they claim, possess q better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets lay more
eggs than hens.
The question Of which Is the better,
hens or pullets. will never be an
swered SO that 1t win please every
one. It is simply matter of the likes
and dislikes of the individual poultry
man.
Personally the writer favors pullets.
There are very few Of them that lay
understood eggs, and II he wishes the
poultryman can easily Gull them out.

without further trouble The eggs
are mostly laid very early in the morn
ing. The ducks should be kept shut
up In the yard until they have laid
their eggs. The Picking and the In

ers. The feathers of the Picking duck
are of the best quality, white, with a
creamy shade. The feathers command
q good price. It is not necessary to
have much water for ducks, yet 1t Is
true that ducks will get a large por-

SOME ANIMALS CAN REASON

A contributor to the Youths Com

certainly supports the theory by
some people that animals can rea-

I'VE were on stage journey from
Lewiston, Idaho, to Grangeville, Idaho,
a distance of 70 miles. The stage
stopped for noon at the Fountain
house, halfway between the two
towns. A large raccoon was chaine.l by
the collar to a post In the front yard
After luncheon the driver of the stage
gathered up plate of food from the
table and carried 1t out to where
the animal was chained. He set the
plate just out of reach of the rae
coon's front paws. The animal strain

the distance.
"One Of the passengers said. Why
do you not place it within his reach 2
"'He can reach It, the driver re-
piled.
"He can't. unless you move the
plate nearer.
"'Wait and see,' said the driver.

given up trying to reach the food. and
sat whining. He seemed to ponder
over the problem for few moments.

WHERE WRINKLES COME FROM
contrary to General Impression, Most

Some PecuIiaritles.

The general impression about
wrinkles is that they are caused by
worry, but the truth Is that most of

To know how to laugh is tust as
important as to know when to do It.
II you laugh with the sides of your
race the skin will work loose in time
and wrinkles win form in exact ac-
cordance with the kind Of laugh you
have.

PROFIT IN GEESE AND DUCKS


Those living close to water should
raise geese and ducks. They will get
large part Of their food from the
streams and swamp lands. requiring
very little grain during the summer
months.
Toulouse geese are hardy, early
layers and prolific, often raising two
broods of goslings year. The young
early take care OF themselves on good
pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily,
and afterward few oats or barley
scattered over the grass late In the
evening. BY careful feeding they grow
very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each Enab-
den geese grow to q large sine and are

affection which the doctors pro-

during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watefy

Fox Fails To Qualify,

Rockville-There will be no Bull
Moose candidate for Congress in this
district. Charles J. Fox, Of Rockville,
who several weeks ago announced
himself as a candidate of the Bull
Moose party failed to file with the
Secretary Of State within the time
specified by law a certificate of his
candidacy, consequently his name will
not appear on the official ballots Of
the various counties of the district.
1t is understood that Mr.. FOX's failure
to comply with the law was due to OPP
position of certain of the Bull Moose
leaders of the district to having a can
didate in the field. The names of four
candidates for Congress will appear
on the ballot in the Sixth district, the
candidates being David J. Lewis,
Democrat; Charles D. Wagaman, Re-
publican; William L. Purdum, Prohi-
bition, and Sylvester L. V. Young, So
cialist.
