dozen eggs per fowl for the season
These should net the farmer, if they
are marketed intelligently and to best
advantage, at least thirty cents doz-
en-, or an average of $500 per fowl for
the eggs. Deducting the cost for feed,
there remains profit of $500 per
fowl, and the farmer has the fowl left
at the end Of the year.
Our farmers should build more and
better poultry houses. They should
keep more and better fowls, and they
should feed more literally and intelli-
gently, for there is money in it.
There are being organized now in
certain sections of West Virginia what
are known as egg circles. The pur-
pose of these organizations is to mar
ket the eggs of the members to better
| advantage. A board of directors Is
elected and sales agent appointed
Each farmer is provided with small
rubber stamp. This stamp contains
! the name of the egg circle, and the
stamps are numbered consecutively
| All eggs sent out are stamped by the
| farmer who produces them, SO that ev-
cry egg can be traced back to the orig
inal producer. The sales agent, then,
| is in position to guarantee every egg
| to the retailer, and the retailer in turn
| can guarantee every egg to the con
sumner If the consumer finds any bad
| eggs they can be traced back to the
original producer, and he can be fined
] according to the rules of his local egg
circle. The very fact that all eggs can
be traced back to the original producer
causes each producer to be more care
full in gathering them. II nest of
eggs which has been overlooked is
found, these eggs in a majority of
cases, Will be consumed on the farm,
and will not enter into the regular
shipment. Each farmer is provided
by the sales agent with cardboard car
tons, all of the same style. These are
packed in the ordinary thirty dozen
egg cases, and then shipped away.
Egg circles have been in operation
in certain parts of Canada for the past
two or three years, and they have been

NATURE WILL CAUSE WOUNDS TO
HEAL CLEANLINESS is ESSENTIAL
Many Patent Preparations Seriously Retard Natures Efforts
Every Farmer Should Keep Good Syringe and
CASTLE Soap and Good Disinfectant

The most common wounds that af-
feet our stock are caused by snags in
the pasture, barb-wire fence cuts,
burning Of the fetlocks by ropes, etc.
These wounds are all Of such ma
ture that they may cause bleeding, the
edges may be rough and stand wide

The beginning of the care and treat
ment of all wounds is the most essen

smoothly and heal rapidly. Nearly
all farmers have some special prepa-
ration which they think the only thing
that will heal wound, when in fact
this preparation is seriously injurious
and causes the patient great pain. In
spite of this, nature overcomes this
harsh treatment and causes the wound
to heal slowly and improperly. Still
the owner will insist that the medi-

CHAPTER xxx.
Jealousy Comes Aboard.

Jealousy Comes Aboard.
There was an air OF domestic peace
In the observation room, where Nal
lory and Marjorie had been left to
themselves for some time. But the
peace was like the ominous hush that
precedes a tempest.
Mallory was so happy with every
thing coming his way. that he was
even making up with Snoozleums,
astroking the tatted coat with one hand
and holding up his newspaper with
the other. He did not know all that
was coming his way. The blissful 81
lence was broken first by Marjorie:
How do you spell Utah?-with a
""
Utah begins, with YOU" he said
and rather liked his wit, listened for
some recognition, and rose to get it,,
but she waved him away. n.
Don't bother me. honey. Can'tlyou
see I'm busy?"
He kissed her hair and sauntered
back, dividing his attention between
Snoozleums and the ten-inning game.
And now there was aIsmali commo-
ton In the smoking room. Through
the glass along the corridor the men
caught sight of the girl who had got
on at Green River. Ashton saw her
first and she saw him.
There she goes" Ashton Missed to

my word, She's a little bit OF all
right, isn't she?"
Even DR.. Temple stared at her with
approval: Dear little thing. isn't
she?"
n The girl. very consciously uncon-
scious OF the admiration, moved de-
murely along, with eyes downcast, but
at such an angle that she could take
in the sensation she was creating;
she went along picking up stares as If
they were bouquets.
Hey demeanor was a remarkable

is profuse bleeding which causes the
farmer to become scared, when there
is no cause for any alarm. The SIM
plest way when possible is to apply a
pack of cotton or clean white cloth
and cover with long clean bandage
to stop all dropping Of blood.
If the wound is in place where it
can not be bandaged, then make a
hook of piece of wire or crochet
needle; make this red hot, allow to
cool and pull out the bleeding vessels
and tie with clean white thread.
Another method is to take red hot
iron and scar or cook the flesh sur
rounding the bleeding vessels, and
this will stop the flow of blood.
The sewing and bandaging Of
wounds should only. be done by pro-
fessionals, because the stitches will

her the newspaper and tossed the
handbag into chair; saw his mis-
take, withdrew the newspaper and
profered her Snoozleums. Marjorie
stopped writing, pen poised in air, as
If she had suddenly been petritied.
The newcomer was the first to
speak. She fairly gushed: Harry
