HARM IN CROWDING THE HEN
Experiment at Maine Experiment Sta
ton Shows That Money Is Lost
In Too Common Practice.

The Maine experiment station re-
Gently furnished test to ascertain
the number Of hens most profitable
to keep in pens. All the pens were 10
10 by 16 feet, giving 100 square feet.
The hens were Brahmas and Plymouth
Rocks, and these tests continued six
months.
The hens were Is, 20, Is and 80 to
a pen. The conditions and hens were
as much alike as possible to make
the test a conclusive one.
The pen with Is hens made show
profit of 80 cents per hen, and the
eggs laid numbered 976.
The pen with 20 hens made show
ing of 1908 eggs for the pen, and a
profit of II cents per hen.
The pen with rs chickens made a
laying record of 1928 eggs, and a
profit of 81 cents per hen.
The pen with 80 hens had an egg
production of 1900 and a profit of 80
cents per hen.
The experiment shows distinctly
that hens can be so crowded as to
reduce the profit of an egg farm.
The difference of 25 eggs per hen
for six months is great On the basis
Of Is to the pen the profits Of the
total 80 hens were $72. On basis of
80 to the pen the profits were $50.
In each case the actual cost of feed
was deducted.

How to Serve Grapefruit.

The somewhat bitter taste OF the
grapefruit soon becomes an acquired
liking with persons who at first find
It trying. AS a tonic and an appetizer
with which to begin breakfast, 1t La
much liked.
1t should be very cold when taken
to the table, being first prepared thus:
Cut 1t in two with a sharp knife; with
a pointed utensil dig out the seeds; cut
out the central core and run the knife
round inside the skin; put each half
on a dessert plate and sift over 1t two
teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar. Eat
with a pointed spoon. The center will
be well Of delicious juice. Sometimes
few candied cherries are dotted over
the pulp.

TO OUR READERS.

We wish to state that no news
paper can exist without advertise
ments, and we wish to hereby ex-
press our thanks to those advertis-
ers who choose advertising In the
Leader as preferable to advertis-
ing on bill boards, local magazines,
programs, curtains etc. which in no
way work for the good of the COM
munity. The more advertising
there appears in the paper, the bet
ter will be the paper as the editor
will give it more attention. f there
are few ads ne must work for more
lob printing to make the business
pay. Therefore remember that the
Leader will be either good or poor
according to whether or not it re-
ceives many ads. Keep this in
mind and patronize those stores
that advertise in the Leader if you
wish the Leader to continue to be
a live newsy interesting paper.
When buying goods mention that
YOU saw their ad in the Leader and
it will encourage them to continue
advertising it. They will also take
special care to see that you are well
satisfied with your purchases.

FISH ON DINNER MENU
CAN BE MADE ONE OF MOST DE-
SIRABLE OF DISHES.
Skill In Preparing II for the Table 10
the Main ThIns-Many Ways
In Which This May
Be Done.

There seems to be a prejudice
against f1sh-that is. served frequently,
and this, too, without apparent reason.
It is usually relished once q week. Why
not oftener? Some housekeepers claim
they buy fish on Friday only because
they feel sure of getting 1t fresh then,
but II they would create a daily de-
mand for 1t the fish would be sold to
them fresh every day. Not that daily
diet of flsh is to be recommended, but
II the home mother can induce her
family to eat sea food three times or
even twice a week she would find de-
crease in her butchers and egg mans
bills.
or course, II one kind of fish is fire.
quently served In the same way the
family Is sure to tire OF 1t. but with
many different ways Of cooking, there
should be no such monotony The
smoked kinds of fish could take the
place of eggs for breakfast. Ffnnan
haddie is delicious either broiled or
steamed In milk. and fish weighing
about two pounds can be bought in the
market for quarter.
Every woman knows the possibili-
ties OF dried Goldfish as a breakfast
dish, but dinner dish Of this fish is
not as well known as 1t should be.
You take q thick piece weighing
from one to two pounds and soak one
day and one night in cold water; then
put on in cold water and simmer for
two to three hours. It must not boil.
Next you fry two good sized onions in
butter until light brown. Add a can
OF strained tomatoes and cook for ten
minutes. Take the fish from the wa
ter and put in with the tomatoes.
Place at the back Of the stove for half
an hour: then serve.
Fish dishes suitable for luncheon are
curried, scalloped and creamed. Cold,
leftover fish. also oysters, are cooked
IN various ways, clam bouillon, and
salmon loaf. A fish curry is delicious.
You fry one tablespoonful of chopped
onion in one tablespoonful Of butter
and add one small teasponful Of curry
powder You pour over this stock
made from f1shbones. about one cup
and half Of milk or cream. Then

you rub together tablespoonful each
of flour and butter and stir into the
hot mixture. When smooth you add
to it about one pound of any cold,
faxed fish. Gently simmer for few
minutes; then serve.
Young cooks must bear In mind the
success of fish dish depends quite q
good deal upon the way 1t Is served.
The sauce must be smooth, tasty and
creamy and the garnishing OF parsley
and lemon arranged to tempt the pal
ate.

DEVICE FOR TESTING EGGS

ror and Powerful Rays.

Since the pure food crusade has
brought about closer investigation
into the antecedents of eggs there has
been a marked increase in the inven-
ton of egg testing devices. One of
the newest is the electrically lighted
tester shown here and devised by a

electric lamp inside. At the top and
near the top, on one side are openings,

two openings is pivoted mirror that
