WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS?
PouItrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or PuIIet Is Capable Of
Greater Egg Production.

No matter how successful we may
become IN any business we are try
ing all the time to find how we may
increase our profits. To increase our
profits means, of course, an increase
in the output of our goods, whatever
II may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the pullet
is capable OF the greater egg produc-
ton. There is good argument on both
sides, says the American Cultivator.
Some claim that while hens lay less
than pullets they lay larger and heav-
Ter eggs, and because of this fact the
eggs command better price than
those laid by pullets. This Is true, but
in many sections of the United States
eggs are sold without grading, and
consequently the smaller egg Ia able
to command as good a price as the
larger one.
Others are in favor of pullets be-
cause they lay so many eggs which.
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets lay more
eggs than hens.
The question OF which is the better.
hens or pullets, will never be an
swered so that it will please every
one. II is simply a matter OF the likes
and dislikes of the individual poultry
man.
Personally the writer favors pullets
There are very few OF them that lay
understood eggs, and il he wishes the
poultryman can easily Gull them out.

easy matter to raise pullets so that
they will be laying the winter after
they are Matched.
The egg5 of pullets do not hatch as
well as those of hens. Not only that.
but the chicks do not seem nearly so
strong and lively as those Matched
from hen eggs. For this reason, then,
the writer would advise pullets for
market eggs and hens for breeders.

the site of Jericho, ''the city of palm

Jericho, enc can catch a glimpse in
the far distance of the dreary shores
of the Dead sea and of the little

of the base and sensual descendants
of Moab, son of Lot.
The region is dear to the christian

remains of terraces show how ASST
duously this region must have been

A dreary desOlate swamp, marked
by blackened trunks and branches of
trees, strewn about and encrusted
N.eA salt, indicates the outlet of the
Jordan into the Dead sea, near where
the present Moab shows the western
limit of the Moabites, wOrshipers of
Baal, Iicentious heathens, and offer
ers of human sacrifices to their dia-
bOlical god. In the time of the
Judges the Jews were for Is years
under the yoke of the Moabites At
terward David reduced them to sub
lection, but about 900 B. C. they
shook off Their allegiance to the Jew
ish king and henceforth took part in
almost all the wars against the Jews.
Their klrgdom was persisted from
the earth and the remnants of the
nation have long been included
among the Arabs. A curious exam
pie of the persistence of national
nomenclature is the name which the
Arabs give to the Dead sea-''the
Sea of Moab, Lot being the father
of Moab.
Ene Dead sea is fed by many other
streams besides the Jordan, but it

miles of it's length it is enclosed by
bold and in some cases perpendicular
cliffs, rising here and there to an ell
ovation of 1000 feet. Its present
level, lower than that of any water
known, is 1872 feet below that of
the Mediterranean. 1t is about that
number of feet deep in the northern
portion, but gradually gets shallower

A RIOT OF 300 MOTHERS.
With Youngsters in Arms Fought
for Admission to Baby Contest.

With Youngsters in Arms Fought
for Admission to Baby Contest.
Three hundred frenzied women
with crying babies in their arms
fought for admission last week to
the baby contest of the Allen County
Fair held at Lima, Ohio. In the
melee the mothers dropped their ba-
bies, tramped ON and mauled each
other and many of them engaged in
hair pulling matches. Finally the
police were called. The remarkable
feature of the riot was the fact that
not one baby was seriously injured.
The trouble was caused by the
statement of DR.. E. A. McCampbell
of the state board of health. He said
half of the deaths of babies are pre-
ventable. In this connection the
county fair board offered to furnish
physicians for the examination of all
children between the ages of l and
5 years. In addition they promised
prizes for the prettiest and healthiest
babies.
