Read New York Clipper

That Charles Reade, the novelist, was reader of the New York Clipper probably will surprise most Americans, but apparently he was, and of the frisky Police Gazette, too, according to a graph ic pen picture of him and his surround ings limned by one of his contemporaries.
 The hundredth anniverasy of Reade' s birth at Ipsden, in Oxfordshire. has just passed, practically unnoticed, though I would be willing to bet something that the fact Is not unknown to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (now on your side of the water). who has recorded his conviction that "The Cloister and the Hearth" is the best novel ever written.
 It seems that Reade, who personally thought Its Never Too Late to Mendn' his best work regularly sought material in the press of the day. His pursuit of actuality" says recent biographer, was persistent. laborious. and little pathetic, involving as it did the weekly trawlng of large numbers of newspapers and mag azines, and the storing in Gargantaun scrapbooks of innumerable press cuttings on all manner of subjects.
 He would devote one whole day a week to this work and became an adept at spotting likely articles and para graphs, and master of the art of indexing''
 Reade who stood over six feet high, and had bearded and leonine face, with fine brown eyes, began his working day at nine, having breakfast at eight and he wrote on hour after hour until two or four. Lunch he described as an insult to ones breakfast, and an outrage ofi ones dinner. Describing call on him, John Coleman wrote:
 Though 'twis near midday. the break fast things were still on the table. Crum- pied newspapers from the Times to the Police Gazette, from Galignani's to the New York Clipper were strewn about the floor; couple of huge clothes-baskets (no ordinary waste-paper baskets) were crammed to overflowing with all kinds of subbish. and . bundle of books and maga-

 The average poultryman is true op- timist and enthusiast. He looks beyond the present and sees greater things ahead in the industry on which his thoughts are centered
 In poultry circles one constantly hears marvellous tales of new breeds and va rieties, either existing, in the making or conceived. Each of these. in the opiinon of some one, is sure to create a furore. Needless to say, many of these hopes are never realized, as comparatively few new kinds attain great popularity Never theless, the making of new breeds and varieties and the search for promising ones of foreign production goes merrily on.
 During the last 20 years put few new breeds have gained considerable popl- larity in America, though quite a list of new varieties of old favorites have done so. We might mention among the form CT the Rhode Island Red, the Orpington and the Campine as being notable excep- tions to the general rule.

Tn the face of such an imposing list of fowls which have failed to make good it is pleasure to discuss a new breed that has recently come to us, not in the ex7 perimental state, but finished and with d record which at once commands our attention.
 This breed Is known as the Rhinelander, and was developed by the utility poultry keepers of Germany. It Is virtually un- known in America, but few specimens have been imported. and from this linn tied experience interested poultrymen are led to believe that the breed will do ex- ceedingly well under the conditions exist ing here.
 It is said that much thought and care full experimental work, both on the part of private individuals and government officials, were devoted to the production of the Rhinelander. The assertion is made that it is among the leaders in the important quality of great egg production and individual records of as high as 300 eggs per year are quoted.
 Disregardng private records and turn ing to those of official character, we find that the breed is doing exceedingly well. Three pens of Rhlnelanders, 30 birds in

all are entered in the present Missouri laying competition. From the five months beginning December 1,19l3, these birds av- eraged 6S eggs each. One of these bullets led the entire contest. with a score of 122
 eggs In the 151 days covered by this pe-
 riod. This is at the rate of nearly S1 per
 cent, which is certaiaiy remarkable per formance.
 The Rhinelander was first brought to public attention by Dr. Langen, a scien- tific investigator, who observed in it quail
 tiles worthy of development. At that time it was a rather small fowl of Leghorn type but the size was improved by in-
 troducing the blood of the Nantes fowl, the Ramelsloh and another native kind which somewhat resembles the present.
 day Rhinelander.
 The breed inclines somewhat to the Leg
 horn type. as shown in the drawing. but
 is more chobby and sompact and some what heavier.
 The color is rich greenish black
 throughout. Comb. face and wattles are
 red; earlobes, white; eyes red. bill horn color, shanks and toes slate or black. Approximate weights are seven pounds for males and 51a for females.

From the Buffalo News.
 'The late Bishop Bowman" said a New York Methodist, ''dined one evening at a fashionable millionaire's in Fifth avenue.
 Besides the bishop sat one of those dyed. decollete. elderly women who are always trying to be brilliant.
 This woman rattled off lot of silly epigrams about Buddha and Mohammed and so forth--then she turned to the bishop and said:

CUSTOM HATCHERIES A GREAT AID IN
 DEVELOPING THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
Facts Regarding the Work of a Pioneer Estab-
  lishment
By PROF. F. H. sroNEBuRN

copyright, l9l4, by Matos-Menz Adv. Co.,
 Matching establishments with great in- cubator capacity are being developed in many parts of this country. It seems entirely probable that they will rapidly Increase in number and size, to the bene- fit of the poultry industry.
 Some idea of the effect such an estab- lishment may have upon any section where conditions are favorable and the returns secured by the operator. may be gathered from Professor Stoneburns ac- eempanying contribution.
 Central hatcheries or large custom matching establishments are compara- lively recent innovation in America. Some 15 years ago Dr. Brigham expressed his belief that in the not distant future we would see such establishments located in most poultry-producing sections, and his prophecy bids fair to be fulfilled.
 The idea is not new one. In fact, the Chinese and Egyptians have followed this plan for genertions; possibly for centu- ries. The custom hatchers of China use batteries of small incubators, earthen jars heated by small charcoal fires. Those of Egypt have gone step further, and successfully operate huge incubators, WHICH are really houses built or prlck ana earth. One of these is described as being 70 feet long, So feet wide and Is feet high with a capacity of 9o.000 eggs at one time
 It is said that the art of operating these incubators is handed down from father to son and that remarkably good fatches are uniformly secured. For in- stance, at the Egyptian hatchery de- scribed above, 270,O0O eggs were incubated fin one season and 234.00o chicks produced. This means hatch of about 96 per cent, q record which few American operators can equal
 Have Incubators Perfected

and the house in flames. He ran
out into the yard and jumped into
a water tank near by, extinguish-
ing the fire in his clothes, but he
was frightfully burned about the
waist, the skin hanging in shreds
on his arms.
Medical aid was summoned and
he was removed to the Larsen

was done to allay his sufferings.
He was taken TO a Denver hos
