RAp-NEsTING IS ADVOCATED
Only Certain Method of Separating
Good Layers From the Poor 10 TO
Keep Daily Records.

That the only sure way to know
which hens in flock are doing the
work and which are not earning
their keep" is by using the trap-nest.
Is the belief Of Prof. James Dryden Of
the poultry husbandTy department OF
the Oregon agricultural college.
High egg production is not a char
acteristic Of any one breed of fowls"
says Professor Dryden. 1.-THE trap-nest
has demonstrated this. There is no
particular shape or type that indicates
good laying qualities, SO far. at any
rate, as our present knowledge goes.
1.-THE only certain method Of sepa-
rating the good layers from the poor
is to use the trap-nest and keep q
daily record OF eggs laid. It is not al
ways the fault OF the feed and care
that they don't do better. 1t is the
misfortune Of the hen herself very
often; she couldn't lay II she want
ed to.
1T requires considerable time to
keep a trap-nest record of flock or
hens. Not every farmer has the time.
but 1t q few farmers IN every county
would trap-nest a flock Of hens, in q
few years all the farmers Of the coun-
ty would very likely have stock that
were from heavy-laying, trapnested
fowls. Where it is possible for q
farmer to devote a little time to It
each day he will be well repaid for
the labor.
The Oregon experiment station is
trap-nesting a large flock each year
and it is doing the best it can to fur
nish the farmers of that state with
stock from good layers, with the OBJ
iect of increasing the egg yield in the
state. It is desirable, of course, to
keep a full years record for each hen.
but il that is not possible, a record
for q part Of the year would be valu-
able. For instance, a record Of the
first six months of laying, beginning
probably in November, would show
which we're the good winter produ,

ANTHONY coMSToCK, FOE TO VICE

Like the good fairy who appears in
the nick of time, waves her wand
and confutes the powers of evil. An
thony Comstock has again issued
forth and squelched another infraction
of the code of decency. It is almost
staggering how wicked New York
would have become had there been
no godfather to civic morality in the
person of the resourceful and untir-
ing Mr.. Comstock. But there he Is
stiIl on the job, virulent, active, de-
spite his seventy years, constant
foe to vice for almost half century.
Storms of abuse, calumny, hatred and
revenge have broken over him in the
years of his labor and left him as
the mighty oak, tower of strength
to the righteous and a living warning
to those of unc1ean minds and morals.
Anthony Comstock began life as
poor Connecticut boy on the firing
line in the great struggle between
north and south, taking the place OF
a brother who was killed at Gettys-

SAYS BOOK OF JOHN WORLDS BEST WORK

"The greatest book in the Bible,
and In the world, is the gospel of
John" declared Sir William Mitchell
Ramsay. Great Britain's foremost au-
thority on sacred history, the other
night at the Moody church in Chicago.
THE gospel of John far surpasses
the gospel Of Paul. The latter only
finds the heights Of greatest spiritual
Inspiration at odd intervals. He is
continually dropping from his high
level and suddenly soaring again.
Besides the writings of Paul, the
only book Of the Bible fit to be COM
pared with the gospel Of John in
point Of excellence is Johns own book
Of Revelation. This, however, has q
defect because Of the animus against
the Roman empire which seems to
prevade It
when It is considered that at the
time this was written John was under
sentence Of hard labor at the Island
Of Patmos, a sentence which was
equivalent to one of death, it can be
