THE AMERICAN HEN.

According to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the department of
commerce, 81 million dozen eggs were
exported from the United States in 1913
to million and half dozen ten years ago
and only $4,000 20 years ago. The
average price for the eggs exported in
1918 was 81 IL cents a dozen, while ten
years ago it was Is cents dozen. This
is a showing for the American hen, both
as to her industry ard the value of her
product, which is most impressive. While
we are having to go abroad for our meats
and our grain and other products of the
soil, the much less advertised hen has
been keeping busy and is not only laying
eggs for this country but is helping to
MAINTAIN the supply for all the rest of
the world.
The eggs exported 90 to practically all
parts of the world. but the bulk of them
to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and Central
America. Of the 20 1-2 million dozen
eggs exported in 1918, II ga million dozen,
or considerably over one half of the total,
went to Canada; nearly six million dozen
to Cuba; three-quarters of million dozen
to Panama, and about an equal number
to Mexico. Considerable numbers, how
ever, go to England and Scotland, the
figures of 1912 showing for England A..
go dozen and for Scotland 10, 500 dozen.
The extent of distribution is illustrated
by the fact that over 5000 dozen went in
1912 across the equator to Brazil; nearly
5000 dozen to Venezuela and 1-2 thou
sand dozen toFrench Oceania, under which
term are included New Caledonia and
number Of smaller islands in the southern
faclhc, having thus also crossed the
equator in reaching their destination.
The growth has been especially rapid
IN the exports of eggs to Canada, which
amounted in 1910 to only 1868, Asa dozen;
in 1911, 2, 457, 1S8 dozen; in 1912, $685.
56o dozen, and in 1918, II, $50, 500 dozen.
10 Cuba the exports of 1913, 5,721, 200
dozen, do not differ materially from those
OF earlier years, the number sent to that
island in 1911 being 4,499, 211 dozen and
in 1908, 4 ,6S2, $50 dozen.

A COMPLETE CHANGE.

Mrs. Emerson did all the cooking,
washing, mending and other houseWork
for her family of five. Among her other
duties was the making and baking of
five loaves of bread three times week,
for Mr.. Emerson and the growing child
rem had hearty appetites.
At last Mrs. Emerson decided she
must have vacation.
II feel" she told her husband, ''that
if I had to stand up to that bread-board
and make one more batch OF bread l
should drop dead. I've got to have a
change"
Mr.. Emberson was more than willing.
He had often urged her to take rest.
1t was decided that she should pack up
that very day and go visit her younger
sister in Kansas.
CHOW, Laura" said Mrs. Emerson.
as soon as she had got into a loose
house dress and dropped into an easy
chair, "I've come to rest and visit.
l don't want you ever to ask me what
| want to eat, or expect me to turn
my hand to help with thing. I'm sick
and tired of homework, and don want
even to hear it mentioned"
"All right" said Launa, laughing,
'tyou can depend on me. I've always
wanted you to rest and let somebody else
take the work and worry for a little
| while"
At dinner the second day Mrs. Ember-
son said to her brother-in-law, John,
do you like bakers bread?'
"No,' confessed John, eve don't any
of us like it, but Laura has so much to
do that l insist on buying the bread .
"You bring home some yeast this even,
ing" said Mrs. Emberson, land III
make you some home made bread"
Two weeks later, when Mrs. Embersor
returned home, her husband was delighted
to see how fresh and rested she looked
Nevertheless, he tried to speak severely
"Now see here, Martha, l thought you
went for a rest and change. Laura
wrote that you had been baking breae
for them ever since you got there. I'D

that"

APPLE DAY,
Appeal OF James Handy to the Fruit Grow
ers and Others interested in Apples.

Appeal OF James Handy to the Fruit Grow
ers and Others interested in Apples.
The first association with National
Apple Day is very fittingly along the
line of feasting on the fruit. The date
for observing the anniversary was pur-
posely fixed at the time When the aver
age harvest for fall and winter apples
would be at its height and the observ-
ance of the day would give stimulus to
trade in all markets by an unusual &C.
mand for the fruit. The practice of Civ
ing apples to children in observing the
festival will no doubt prove to be 4 very
efficient means for perpetuating the an
nual observance, for while the older
people might forget approaching ami
versaries the general public would be
reminded by the boys expecting their
usual treat of apples. The date this
year was October 21st.
No doubt the past season has been eX-
ceptionally trying to large number of
growers. The three months of drouth
and excessive heat showed their visible
effects on countless orchards. Yet there
is very striking perceptible difference
between the we'll cared for and neglected
orchards. Intelligent growers are quite
we'll informed on the conservations of
moisture and manage to work along lines
of leading advantages against opposing
forces.
With a population increasing at the
rate Of something near one million a year
in this country, all of which must be fed
and clothed from products of the soil,
land will continually advance in price
from year to year as sure as night fol-
lows day. And when land finally reaches
the soaring prices anticipated, there will
be no room afforded for barren orchards,
or for orchards which yield nothing bet
ter than seconds or culls. 1t will be
found imperativeiy necessary to grow
strictly frst-class fruit or retire from
the orchard business. That the contin-
ual observance of National Apple Day
may be the means of bringing about the
desired condition is consun nation de-
voutly to be wished for.

MAURY'S SAILING DIRECTIONS.
TRockland Courier-Gazette.1

There has come to the editorial desk,
all away across the continent, an ancient
copy of Maury's Sailing Directions, be-
ing volume two of the eighth edition of
that notable publication, bearing the
stamp of the Bureau of Navigation L.
S. N. and inscribed upon margin in a
bold hand with the name of Thomas
Dermot. Ship Sweepstakes, 1885, 1t
comes from Capt Tom himself, who
writes from his PARKWAY home in East
Oakland, Calf, that the book will be a
help to you when you should wish to
write up Americas past and fast-sailng
ships, and not rely on forecastle yarns
from a Boys First Voyage at Sea-"
And he adds:
Some months ago you wrote claim
ing the Red Jacket made the fastest
passage, followed by snub that you
got from the claimants of the Dread
naught. The Dreadnaught had every
chance to make a quick passage at
some time, as she was kept steady in
that trade, with a man as able as
Capt. Samuels. man whom | knew
well and who had two as good legs
as any man, never having cut one off.
| want to say here that the Red
Jacket could sail rings around the
Dreadnaught every two hours. The
Dreadnaught didn't belong to the
clipper class, but Capt. Samuels made
her big name. We beat her in the
ship Charles Buck sailing down the
Irish Channel, beating her three
days to New York. The ship Jere-
miah Thompson beat the whole fleet
badly. You can see your statement
of the trade winds passage isn't cor
rect. The young shippers in But
ler's Office may be interested in look
ing over this book and studying the
old ships with their passages and
crossings"
This copy of Maury's, battered and
stained with the salt spray and eloquent
of the sea, glows with the romance of
the ocean and the ancient days of the
square-rigger. We pass it on to the
snug harbor of the Butler Office and hope
it may be the source of much interesting
and discussion on the part
of the mariners, ancient and otherwise,
fore gathering there. The Courier-Ga-
zette wishes it could oftener hear from
those of its readers who retain personal
knowledge of the wonderful days of the
clipper ships. Nothing that gets into
the printed column more certainly fas-
clnates than tales of the period when
American ships ruled the seas and the
fastestof them all was launched from
the stocks in Rockland

about which the religious world differ
are worthless to anybody. The points
about which they agree are valuable to
all. All our great masterpieces in liter

all our knowledge. Can we think of
God as Whittier did?
But nothing can be good in Him

Can We respect our reasoning powers

And some Tradition; and her voice is sweet,
With deep. mysterious accords the other

A light divine and searching on the Earth,
Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory yields

Who can see with Lowell a phase of
the message being brought by different
messengers?
"All nations have their message from on high,

One has to teach that Labor is divine;
Another Freedom; and another Mind;
And all that God is open-eyed and just,

Who can say with Emerson?
Slowly the Bible of the race is writ,
And not on paper leaves nor leaves of stone;
Each age, each kindred, adds a verse to it,
Texts of despair or hope, of JOY or moan,
While swings the sea, while mists the noun
tains shroud,
While thunders surges burst on cliffs of cloud,
Still at the prophets feet the nations sit

FOREST NOTES.

There are about 81 pines native to the
United States, of which Is are western
species, and IL eastern.
Paraguay has valuable forest re-
sources, the most important of which Is
quebracho, particularly rich in tannin.
Much of the cork used throughout the
world comes from Portugal, which har-
vests about 10000 tons year.
Germany is said to have an over sup
ply of foresters; so that well-educated
men have hard work to secure even in
ferior positions.
One of the largest forest nurseries in
the United States is conducted by the
forest service near Haugen, Montana
1t is known as the Savenac nursery and
has capacity of 1000, 900 young trees a
year.
The forests of Norway are mostly in
private or municipal ownership, the ma.
ton owning 28.5 per cent of the total
forest area. The national forests of the
United States occupy only about twenty
per cent of the total forest area of the
country.

HIS SELF-CONTROL.

Mr.. Brown was excitabe by nature,
but he often prided himself audiby upon
his self control. One night while the
family were gathered at the tea-table the
chimney began to roar; the furnace draf;
had been opened and forgotten. Straight
way panic ensued
Don't lose your heads-keep COOL
cried Mr.. Brown. Its nothing seri-
Gus
He dashed up the stairs, discovered
that the metal cap over the only unuSed
stovepipe hole was already red hot, and
dashed down again faster than he went
up.
"K-keep cool.'' he gasped, as he pass
ed through the room where the family
had gatherd in nervous apprehension.
Il Il be back IN minute.
He was back in less than that time,
having observed that flames were spout
ing several feet high from the chimney,
and that d shower of sparks was falling
upon the roof.
where's the step-ladder?" he
painted.
He was gone before anyone could
answer the question, and presently was
heard believing from the roof of the
wood shed. He presented an heroic
figure in the glare of the blazing chin
! ney.
'I've got one end of the hose!" he
called "Some one attach the other enc
and turn on the water-quick!"
Two long minutes passed.
"Why doesn't some one do as order
| ed7" he Numbered. ''Do you want the
place to burn up?"
1--WE can't, Henry!" called Mrs. Brown
tremblingly. "You haven't got the hose
you've got the cow-rope. 1t was hang
ing next to the hose in the shed. Ano
anyway, the roof is covered with ice
and don't think there's any great danger
outside. You'd better 60 and watch the
chimney from the inside"
| A half-hour later the family were agar
at the tea-table.
eff this had happened in some homes,
remarked Mr.. Brown, "the family woule
have lost their heads completely and sem
in an alarm. Self-control is an excellent
thing far from common"
"Indeed it is!' agreed Mrs. Brown, en-
phatically. The Youths Companion.
