CHAPTER XXI.
In the Glow Of the Rubles.
E,rnniru had coma analn

Evening had come again.
In fact, IL was almost bedtime.
Frances and I sat before the hearth
in the library, looking silently into
the red heart OF the dying embers OF
fragrant pine cones. For In the
heights OF the Pocantico Hills II often
is chilly on summer nights.
My darling sat on a low fauteuil,
her chin resting upon her hand, her
beautiful eyes fixed dreamily, In
scrutably. upon the fading Goals. In
her lap lay the spread OF the crimson
pa1amas.
She was MISUNDERSTANDING won

WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS?
Poultrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or Pullet Is Capable OF
Greater Egg 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
II may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the puller
Is capable OF tho 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 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 Ia able
to command as good a price as tho
larger one.
Others are In favor OF pullets bc-
cause they lay 80 many eggs which.
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets lay moro
eggs than hens.

Cattle Market is Strong.

There was a strong zone in the
cattle trade at North Portland for
the day. Run was 277 head, COM
pared with 469 last Thursday. An
advance Of 15c was forced in the
price for good stuff, tops going at
$500.
There was a good tone elsewhere
for cattle today, but the markets are
showing no improvement in price
At Chicago trade was steady at the
closing, with a run of 1000 head.
While the market for steers was
very high and firm, the market for
bulls reached unusual limits today
when one extra heavy animal that
weighed 1900 pounds went at $3.50
aid another weighing 1900 pounds
at s5.25.
