If hens develop the feather-pullins
habit send them to market at once.
1t is as al egg producer that the In,

fame.
Poultry balance their own rations II
they are given a wide variety of feeds
to select from.
Eggs that cost 25 cents per dozen
Will bring 81 to So when Matched and
sold as broilers.
1t is usually mere guesswork to tell
the age Of a hen by her appearance
after she has passed the pullet stage
A hen over two years old is fl
only for the pot and to mother chick,
ems. She is past her profitable laying
days.
All young stock on hand now that
you do not intend to keep through
the coming winter should be mar
keted.
After hens are through laying they
should be sold to the butcher unless
they are needed for breeders next
season.
Goose eggs require from twenty.
eight to ~thirty-two days to hatch, &C
cording to variety and method OF
hatching.
Hens, when thye cease laying, fatten

fully adapted to the rough stone roads
of the country"
Two absolutely unique characters
tics of the ancient people who built
these ruins thousands of years ago,
and OF whom they and the pyramids
on which many of them are built are
the only trace, were noted by Mr..
Hornbostel. The first is that the
towns were built without walls or
Notifications of any kind, there were
no roads and the houses were far
apart, making them indeed garden
cities, and there were no beasts of
burden. This vanished ace was a
peaceful people, said Mr.. Hornbostel,
and such architecture of Q primitive
race is absolutely unique In history.
They had no fear of an invading army
and no preparation to repulse one.
They had no means of moving either
an army or supplies" The second pc
~culiarity noted by the travellers is the
original form Of architecture in the
construction of the buildings, which
are made of small stones, cut and
dressed, with an original cantilever
construction of arches. This struc-
ture, Mr.. Hornbostel claims, he has
not found anywhere else in all his
study of architecture, ancient, medic
val and modern.
