TRAP NEST YOUR HENS.

Inc Oregon experiment station after
long and thorough experiments with
trap nests declares that from % to IN
per cent of hens in average fiocks do
not lay enough eggs to pay their board
we often blame the weather. the
feed or our human bungling when
mems don't lay. but it's sometimes the
hen.
She can't lay. It's not In her.
Inc Missouri and Storrs egg compe-
tltions show up the hen and the practi
cal value Of the trap nest.
The hens at these contests are on
tered In competition by poultrymen
who think they know a layer when
they see her. But the revelation OF
the trap nest has shown that mighty
rev humans can pick layer and that
"there is no particular shape or type
that indicates good laying qualities. so
rar as our present knowledge goes"
Thats what the Missouri bulletin
says, and results seem to prove 1t.
We have before us photographs of
thirty-two of the hens that competed
at the Missouri contest
There is little difference in their an
pearance, but their trap nest egg rec
ords show a difference of from 2s1
eggs clear down to seven.
One hen didn't lay all year.
The hen that laid only twenty eggs
looks just as good as the one that won
the individual egg record with a 2S1
egg record.
Here appearances are certainly de-
ceptive. and really the only way to
catch the drones is to trap nest them
and the time to trap nest them is from
the time they start to lay In October
or November to April, for then is the
time that a hen shows whether she's
profitable or not.
Trap nests pay. Better buy or make
one.

VARYING FORCE OF RADIUM.
Powers Of the Three Different Rays
Alpha, Beta and Gamma,


There are three kinds of so called
rays having their melting origin in ra-
dun. The three rays are known as
alpha. beta and gamma rays. and each
OF these has characteristic pecuIiari-
ties.
The alpha rays have a range inside
OF half an inch from their source, the
beta rays reach about three times as
far. and the gamma rays are yet more
penetrating. A thin sheet OF paper or
a hlm of tin foil or mica will effectual-
~ halt the alpha rays millimeter
or lead or five millimeters Of Alumni
um will stop the further progress of
the beta rays. but the gamma rays will
go through nineteen centimeters of iron
or seven centimeters of lead before
their original intensity Is reduced 1 per
cent.
The alpha rays consist of positively
charged atoms Of helium advancing at
velocity of 1900 miles a second. and
the beta rays are negatively charged
bodies projected at speed Of quite
10000 miles In the same interval Of
time. Roughly. the beta rays are a
hundred times more penetrating than
the alpha rays, while the gamma rays,
In their turn. are hundredfold as
searching as the beta rays.-Exchange.

In His Ambition.
The Boston Transcript tells an anus
ing story of one of the subjects of
Lord Kitchener. consul general In
Egypt, who turned the power and in
huence of the famous English soldier
to his personal profit.
While driving one day Lord Kitch-
ener noticed an old man in the street
whom he recognized as an acquaintance
from the Sudan. The consul general
ordered the driver to stop and invited
the old man to take a seat in the car
riage. So the two drove together
through the town to the place to which
the Sudanese wanted to go.
A few days later the dark friend of
Lord Kitchener was seen lowering
about the British agency. At last an
officer asked him what he wanted.
Il should so much like to drive out
with Lord Kitchener once more" the
old man replied.
Why the officer asked.

At the American Feed association

$300,000,O00 was expended for chicken

course this does not represent all that
was bought or used. but it's enough to
show that the hen business is going

the various breeds and varieties of

The agricultural societies should en-

ceased to exhibit at fall fairs. not be-

boldly, in the eyes of all, he waited for
her.
She appeared, slender girl who, as
she moved slowly around the church,
woye spell over the betrousered por

the subtle aid of dreams. She was not
small, but, neatly made, gave an effect
of daintiness not characteristic of the
maids Of that valley. Unity was sup
posed to be delicate, hence was
spared those arduous tasks that leave
80 little time to study of beauty hints
and fashions. If there were some TO
suggest that Squire Martins family
let Unity make fools of 'em," at least
no males were among these critics.
Self-conscious to the finger-tips but
not betraying 1t, she picked her dainty
way among the g1ssiping groups, toss
ing gay little smiles to this and that
intoxicated youth, blissfully deaf to an
occasional feminine litter in her wake,
She came to a halt beside Mark,
looking up with smile that made him
forget curious observers.
Good morning. Mark!"
"Unity!" His voice was low, tense,
as though he announced some tragic
happening. 'I'm going away tomor-

The vivacity fell from her face, leav-
