relation to egglaying-being enabled by this
means to know what feathers were shed by
which hens
In these experiments no young pullets are
reserved for breeding whose mothers have not
produced zUO or more eggs in a year, and the
CocASIeIS employed as sires must be sons OF
equally distinguished maternal parents. Similar
methods used with cattle have resulted in the
deVelopment OF strains Of COWS yielding as
tonlsnlng quantities Of milk. Accordingly il has
seemed reasonable to suppose that SO0-egg hens
were by no means beyond reach.
II should be remembered that these birds

and PROBABLY good deal longer. During all of
that period they have been undergoing mo-

A statesman Of old Rome said that
the Romans could hold their slaves
because they had never counted
themselves and their masters.
However, since we have universal
suffrage, there Is a good chance to
count ourselves and our masters ct
every election.
Nor would the claim that God Las

Not even the most stupid man would
believe Ogden Armour that God has
ordained that he should speculate in
wheat or put rat manure in sausage
in order that he may make millions

OF Germany the Germans had subju-
gated the Wends and other Slavic
tribes. Hence there was an element
of conquest in every case.
In modern countries, the conditions
are entirely different.
The conquered class is Of the same
nationality. the same speech, the
same mode OF drought. Andthe rul-
ing class is not better or stronger
nor more able in any way.
Since the general Introduction OF
public schools, the prOletarians as a
whole get at least the elements OF
the same kind Of education. The aba-
ity to read and write opens to them
the same avenues OF knowledge and
mental power that the ruling class
possesses.
The proletariat and the middle class
not only do all the useful and neces-
sary work which is to be done under
the present civilization, but they
also have to keep up that civilization.
Today civilization depends entire

Grinnell, Jan 13.-With the mercury

members made their appearance at the

of the fact that two men had been

registered but fifty near the platform
of the church and the meeting was
adjourned without future date.
