AUSTRALIAN HAS 5000 HENS
Biggest Poultry Breeder In the World
Uses Forty Acres of Tim
Der Land.

s. Craig of Belmont, near Perth
western Australia, is the largest poul.
try breeder and egg producer in the
commonwealth. Under ordinary condi'
tions he has between 5000 and 1000
laying hens, and, including chicks, his
birds periodically total 5000. In the
flush Of the laying season he gathers
more than 200 dozen eggs day, and
during February and March. when the
market price averaged two shillings a
dozen, his check exceeded $500 week.
Practically the whola e his stock are
white Leghorns, which he finds are
easily the most profitable for his pur.
pose-egg production.
Mr.. Craig began commercial poui
try raising eight years ago on very
small scale, so that his progress has
been phenomenal. He selected for his
run 40 acres of land in the virgin
scrub, and, except SO far as It was neo-
essary to facilitate the erection Of the
netting, did not remove any Of the
timber. Consequently the birds live
under conditions as nearly natural as
1t Is possible to have them.

NEW IDEA OF FAMOUS STATUE
Surely the Most Original of All Put
Forward Concerning the Venus
De Medicl.

Aunt Judy had been brought up
from the plantation on the coast for a
visit to the big family" house in Sa'
vannah. There she learned to her in.
dignant and outspoken disapproval.
that one of her granddaughters, whom
she had never seen, had been allowed
to go north to study for the operatio
stage. Aunt Judy had once been a
spectator OF as much of a musical
comedy rs one could see between tbs
time Of the curtain rising upon a
ballet and chorus and the time OF
Judy's outraged exit from the theater.
To the old woman the expedition Of
the mistress granddaughter was much
as If the girl had elected to go off in
the company Of Satan, Caligula AND
Henry VIII.
Also, there was a marble Venus de
Medici in one corner Of the drawing
room OF the "big family" house. Judy
had her own ideas about this statue
too.

confidence to a friend Of the family.

First Attempt at System Began In
England as Far Back as
the Year 1855.

How many Of US know that the
post Office began to exist in the year
1885! Special messengers and the
common carrier were till then the
only means of communication.
After that date a horse post car
ried letters along the great roads into
the different parts of England, those
who lived near these roads hurrying
out at the sound of the postman's
horn. And the remote byways were
not neglected.
If one desired to send a letter to
some remote town in Yorkshire, one
went to Ludgate, then to the Bell Sow
age in, close by, and there intrusted
1t to the carrier for the country in
question. The messenger from Lon
don would not penetrate into byways.
Zach country had its system of foot
posts, which linked the outlying dis
tricts with its chief towns and with
the great high roads. The London
courier, pressing on to his terminus,
was relieved of packets for remote
regions by the local postman, who,
IN turn, passed them on from hand to
hand to their destination. In some
what similar fashion, though less reg
ularly and smoothly, letters inland
were carried over the long and tedi.
Gus journey to the hands for which
they were laboriously indited.

The nursery, literally grown I'M

state of New York In connection with
it's extensive work in the Adirondack
mountains, Is typical OF similar for
estry work. Here millions Of trees
are raised from seeds In long, narrow
beds Hike ordinary garden vegetables.
Some interesting experiments have
been carried out at this station In i'm
porting trees when very small, and
after careful cultivation setting them
out among the mountains. The trees
grown in the government forestry sta
ton in Germany are considered the
finest in the world.
They are brought over when still
very small sprouts, millions Of them
at time, tied up in great bales. A
few years later thousands Of acres Of
rolling mountains will be clothed by
these trees.
The seeds from which these forests
are propagated are gathered with great
care from only the youngest and
strongest trees. At the proper time In
in the early spring they are planted in

Drilling Holes In the Air.

company near Butte, Mont, has one
of the most peculiar conditions yet
noted in the production of smeltei
ore. It's working property consists
mainly of high cliff.
On this cliff the drill operator Is sus'
pended in a wooden seat on rope
sling and operates his drill on the face
of the cliff At times he is forced
to work more than rs feet from the
bottom of the ravine, but by use OF
what is called a jackhammer drill h.
is able to make fair progress. AS the
rock is blasted 1t falls to the bottom
of the ravine and Is hoisted on an in
cline to the surface.

HOW DOES NATURE Do IT?
Ever Interesting Question Is the
Maintenance of the Ratio Be-
tween the Sexes.

The laws that govern the ratio Oh
sexes are obscure, and there are al
ready bewildering number of theories
usually based upon carefully selected
facts. But 1t does seem that nature
makes some sort Of kindly effort TO
match the supply with the demand
1t has been shown that there Is a
preponderance Of male birth after a
war, and that male births predominant
In warlike nations. Thus we hnd tnat
Servia has 100 men for every gu Wom-
en-, and we may expect a still furtner
increase of boy babies to compensate
for the heavy losses of the present
struggle. Servia is said to nave lost
at least $4,000 men against the Turks
and now her very Christian allies nave
probably disposed of a good many
thousand more. But If nature does
really try to keep the balance true In
the varying proportions of male and
female births, it would be interesting
to know how she does it. Have the
hopes and desires of the mothers any
thing to do with it?-Ihe Argonaut.

Denmark Eggs Heaviest.

The French chamber Of commerce
in London has recently made an ex-
animation Of the egg market and as
certained that the largest eggs sold
there come from Denmark. The Dan
ish eggs are the most popular as we'll
as the heaviest. The great majority
Of them weigh more than two and one
half ounces. The average American
egg has been found to weigh two and
two-sevenths ounces. The highest
Danish eggs weigh as much as tho
heaviest French eggs. This investI'
CATION classified the eggs as to coua-
try only. Some years ago obserVa
tions were taken as to breeds of hens
Records were made Of the weight Of
eggs that several hens Of well known
breeds laid during a period Of six
months. 1t was found that the larg-
est eggs were produced by light Brah-
mas, the average weight being two
and one-third ounces. Pullets' eggs
did not exceed two ounces in weight.
