His wife's Henhouse in a Tree.

In a recent issue of Farm and Fire
side Mrs. r. A. Galliher tells why many
people who are successful with poultry
in the summer are failures when 1t
m to producing eggs in winter. She
tells the story of q woman who was
considered quite an authority on poul-
try. This woman was a member of a
Progressive Farmers Club" and the
club was discussing the topic of MAX
ing ems lay in winter. This woman
made a speech in which she said why
she did not believe one third of the big
stories about hens laying in winter.
Mrs. Galliher goes on as follows:
The woman ended her talk with the
air of one who has convinced an au-
dience. One man present asked per-
mission for just one question. He
asked. What kind of henhouse do you
have?' The hesitated, looked
appealingly at her husband. who up to
this time had let her do all the talking.
Seeing thai his wife was going to al
low him to answer the question, he
looked around at the questioner and
drawled. We'll. 1 guess it's Il Baldwin,
That was enough.
For producing eggs there is much
in the feed and also the breed, but the
very best laying strains. fed on the
right kind of food, if provided with no
better house than a Baldwin or Ram
bo,' will lose the owner money

down the trees. Olaf could not see
that they had any axes, but neverthe.
less he saw he trees fall down faster
h he had ever cut them, and pretty
soon he started on his way up the
mountain.
When he got to the top he found the
giant was not a giant at all, u a very
large man who had built him a hut or
the top of the mountain and who often
went down in the valley and helped
himself without asking to whatever he
could find that he wanted.
Olaf said, "How do you dog" to the
man and then asked him why he lived
so far up the mountains and why he
did not work and earn his living. The
man told him that he could find moth
ing to do, and that he had to. steal to
get things to eat.
"Oh. no." said Olaf, you need not do
that, for if o a chop trees I can
get you a chance to earn enough money
to buy food and clothes and put some
thing in the bank." The man listened
while Ola talked to him and told him
how wicked 1T was to steal. and then
said: ct would like very much tc
earn an honest living, n if you will
find me a place I will go to work"
Come with me-" said Olaf, and they
both started down the mountains.
When the COLLINS saw them coming
they did not know what to make of it
n all of them started to run. but
Olaf called them back. "The giant"
he said lis going to be good. He is
going to work here in the woods and
earn his living and will steal Or
do n other wicked thing again."
The COLLINS all gathered around while
the giant told them that Olaf had
shown him how wicked he was and had
promised to get work for him. and
that he Was going to lead an honest
life, and taking up Olaf's axe, he be-
gan to cut down a tree.
Well" said the goblin who had first
spoken to Olaf. you have helped us
very much N we shall feel much safer
now. Perhaps there will come a time
when we a help you. and If there
does you blow this whistle and we will
come,' handing Olaf a queer
whistle made Of stone, they all van
ished as quickly as they came.
Some time / will tell you of the first
time Olaf blew the whistle.

office last year he has set himself t.
the ask of solving the great industrial
problems of the day.
I'm the last analysis" Mr.. Davies
said. in a recent speech. society is on
cerned with the question OF which OF
the two types Of the Industrial system
is the most advantageous to the gen.
eral welfare. The question esolves it
self into whether the monopolistic sys-
tenn of large units or the competitive
system confers the greatest advantage
upon society.
1.-The advantages and disadvantages
of such are questions of fact. and
of the paramount considerations there
in is the question of cost of produc-
ton. The efficiency of an industrial
system will be finally gagged by the
people. in a large measure. by the diff
ference in the cost Of what they buy,
and that system which produces most
cheaply and does not induce other and
greater evils than those sought to be
remedied would be regarded as the fl
nal economic fact, in a large degree.
by the consumer"
The business Of the interstate trades
commission will be to obtain all the in
formation it can that may help to re-
solve this question of fact. In the
meantime it will assume the duties now
discharged by the bureau of corpora
tions. which will be merged into the
proposed commission. and advise the
attorney general as to corporations
which violate the law and aid the courts
in effectively d%issolving combinations
found to be unlawful.

What Radium Will Do to Wheat.

IF you happen to have any radium
about the farm it may be we'll to re-
member that a British scientist, Mr..
j. Thome Baker, has found that it may
be USED to increase the yield of crops.
Anyhow, he has found hat when a
little over a grain of radium is put in
q ton of soil, wheat sown in it will
sprout a week sooner, and be six inches
high when the check plot is only four
inches high. Pretty DOR the roll top
desk farmers will be telling us that
.adium is a fertilizer; but of course it
is only a stimulant which enables the
crop to take more out of the ground
without putting anything in. In view
of the fact that there are only IL grams
Of radium in eXistence-commercially
speaking-the matter isn't very import
ant to the farmer. And yet it must be
remembered that there are considerable
amounts of mineral matter which carry
very small quantities OF radium. and
