Georges romance gathered itself for
. fight. Perhaps 1t was love thwart-
ed and the gentleman with the mus
tache and imperial, in spite Of his ami.
ability. might be the ogre. Perhaps
1t Was love and duty. Perhaps her
lover had gone down to sea. Perhaps
(for lovers are known to do such
things) he had run away with the
other girl. II that was the case.
George did not think highly Of that
tentative gentleman's taste. Perhaps
and perhaps again; but George might
have gone on perhapsing till the
crack O. doom, with never a solitary
glimmer Of the true state Of the girls
mind. Whenever he saw an unknown
man or woman who attracted his at.
tention. he never could resist the i'm
pulse to invent romance that might
apply.
Immediately after dessert the two
rose; and George, finding that nothing
more important than pineapple ice
detained him. got up and followed. Mr..
Ryanne almost trod on his heels as
they went through the doorway into
the cosy lounging.room. George
dropped Into vacant dlvan and walt.

not to say regretfully. laid down a

This man said that he did not think
that be would enter another because
he did not see what advantage it was
to poultry keepers generally to have
those in charge of the competition
ascertain how many eggs they could
secure from the various birds sent
them, by methods which CONNER
cial poultryman could not use.
"He suggested that practical COM
petition would be one in which the
competing birds, banded for identi-
fication when necessary, would be
kept in large focks and handled by
methods in which labor and other
costs we're on an economic footing;
and also that the results should not
be tabulated or given out until the
close of competition.
"From the point of view of one
who looks for real service to poultry
interests and to the mass of COM
petitors, there is merit in this sug-
gestion. If the hens are all banded
with mum bered bands, and the num-
bers not known to anyone connected
with. the work of caring for them,
and are kept in large tiocks with no
two birds belonging to a competitor
in the same flock, the possibilities OF
an attendant favoring pen or infiat-

HISTORY OF SPANAWAY POULTRY
ASSOCIATION.

The Spanaway Poultry Association
was organized about four months ago
by the poultry producers of Spanaway
and vicinity. AS first conceived, it
was movement to buy feed for less
and sell eggs for more, in order that
the producers might have enough
margin of profit to stay in the bust
ness Feed was SO high and eggs SO
low that many we're getting discourag-
ed.
A preliminary organization was
effected, with B. M. Rogers as presi-
dent and c. G.. Lindsey as secretary
and Treasurer. It was soon discover
ed that by buying feed in large
quantities a saving of from five to 10
per cent could be effected; but it was
not so easy to get better market for
eggs. The design of the Association
was to produce better eggs and COM
mand better prices. Rules we're
adopted requiring the members of the
Association to gather their eggs daily,
to market them at least twice week,
and to sell no eggs weighing less than
two ounces each. This required all
small eggs to be sold at a loss. To
Offset this loss, the selected eggs must
be sold for at least five cents dozen
more. The public is not educated as
yet to pay this additional cost for the
better article, so no eggs are being
shipped at present.
The Association has lately broaden
ed the scope of its work. 1t will be
incorporated for S., 900, divided into
$50 shares of $40 each. No member is
allowed to hold more than five shares.
At meeting held last Tuesday it was
decided to invite the dairymen and
all farm producers to share in the
benefits of the Association. Some of
the dairymen present availed them

LAYING COMPETITIONS.
