Short Aatpin Law.

We have observed a disposition in
the newspapers outside of Massachu-
sets to belittle the law against long
hatpins that will become effective
early in April. There is one excep-
ton, however, The New York Sun,
which used to boast that it Shines
for all" takes a sane view Of the mat
ter. "The protection of life and limb"
declares the Sun, Cannot be deemed
sumptuary legislation. Is it not rea-
sonable to approve the Massachusetts
statute just passed providing that the
deadly end of hatpins worn in public
shall be sheathed. The rapier is not
less beautiful with a foil. The hat
pin scahbard can be made esthetic;
the fears of man can be allayed, his
miserable life spared. Sovereign wo-
man can still Stay with her eyes; she
needn't put out the other fellows"
No, she need not, and it is within her
power to make the penalties of the
new law harmless by setting the fash
ion of wearing a protector. Let her
heed the advice of the Sun and make
the scabbard of the hatpin esthetic.
AS already suggested, let the feder-
ated clubs address themselves to this
troublesome problem and the affair
can be settled to everybody's satisfac-
ton within a very short time.-From

1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR sULzER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t
matters not so much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, We may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary Of
North America"
Many Of our best citizens, I regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing The States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of its soil, the lib
erality of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people TO bet
ter their conditions here.
I'VE should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march Of
progress. Instead Of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods,
wares and merchandise should, in so
far as possible, be eliminated."-Ad-
vertisement.

the bird to lay on fat. If the hen is
permitted to gorge herself early in
the day she will NOPE around the pen
and not exercise.
A hen must be in good flesh to pro-
duce eggs. Poorly t1eshed hens are
never productive. A hen in laying
condition always has a surplus Of fat
on her body. 1t supplies the body's
needs first, and the surplus is either
stored up as fat or goes to make
eggs. 1t does not pay to feed a hen
too little. The great point is to keep
her constantly exercising. At noon a
definite amount of mash was fed.
This was generally cleaned up by 4
o'clock. If any remained at this time
it indicated that the birds were not
as hungry as usual, and SO a smaller
amount was fed at night.
The night feed consisted of a
scratch food. Approximately twice as
much was fed at night as in the
morning. The object was to COM
pletely fill the crop previous to the
hens going to roost. This is espe-
ciauy important in the winter when
the nights are cold and long. 1t was
found that egg production was con-
siderably increased when special eff.
fort was made to secure this condi-
ton. Grit, oyster shell, to furnish
lime, a dust bath, and clean fresh wa
ter were kept before the bird. Green
food is lacking in the winter, and to
provide this beets and cabbage were
fed on alternate days, and clover
chaff was occasionally placed in the
pen.
Comfort is also necessary for sat
isfactory production, and the birds
were comfortably housed in a muslin
glass front house, the muslin being
raised during the day. When condi-
lions were favorable the birds were
permitted to range in yards in which
green food, such as wheat, oats and
buckwheat had been sown. Often
wheat was sown in the yards, and the
birds were permitted to scratch it up.
This also encouraged considerable
exercise.

eggs more than the Rocks, Wyan-
dottes and breeds of similar nature. In
the second place, she was an excep-
tional individual. Other birds of the
same flock did not produce one-third
as many eggs, showing as much diff
ference between individuals as be-
tween breeds. A good e~gg-laying
strain is necessary for successful pro-
duction.
The ancestors of the bird were
noted for their high egg production.
In mating great care was exercised to
select a few of the best individuals,
and to them was mated the most Wig
rou and best male that could be OBJ
tanned. The farmer cannot expect
high egg production until he begins
mating from only the best in his
lock. The bird was Matched in April
and kept growing all through the
summer upon a cornfield, pasture-lot
range. She was not forced, but al
lowed to mature gradually. In October
she was placed in the laying house
and began laying in November.
One of the great criticisms to be
made of the farmers flock is that
some of his hens have outlived their
usefulness. From the standpoint of
egg production, pullets which begin
to lay before winter sets in are the
best egg producers. T~wo-year-old
hens are the best for breeders, but
are not so productive of eggs. Old
stock is quite largely the cause of the
low average egg production found in
Missouri.
The bird was also fed a proper ra-
ton. If only wheat had been fed she
would have secured enough protein
to produce only 146 eggs during the
year. She would also have obtained
fat enough to produce three eggs a
day, which shows that the hen is not
economical in her production if fed
wheat alone. In addition she would
have secured enough ash to place the
she'll upon only 80 eggs. Lack of
shell-forming material in the ration
causes an enormous loss in the pro-
duction of eggs. This, then, shows
