more than 81 net profit each on l2O(
hens This profit was from eggs alone
and to it should be added the net
results from broler business
amounting to $1,000 and the profit
from the sale of 600 old hens, not to
mention the vegetables raised on the
farm for family use
Statistics such as those quoted for
the Williams farm are oten based on

Hot sroN STEWART CHAMBERLAiN. the
English author, who has lived many
years in Germany and has now re-
ceived the Iron Cross for the excel
lence OF his pro-German writings
long ago demonstrated his high skill
In dealing with historical facts. In
his large and extensive biography Of
RICHARD WAGNER, for example, he in
cluded a chronological table In which
in the incidents of the year 1869 the
reader finds this item:
"SiEGrRrEp WAGNER. I-orn on June Q
OF the marriage with CosiMA LiszT'
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN has long been
quoted by CosIMA WAGNER as an au-
thority on the composers life; but u
is significant that the date Of SiEG-
FRiED's birth was never given out by
the family. The existence of the son
was first mentioned by WAGNER in n
letter to his Zurich friend. Frau
WILLIE. dated June 25. 1870. In July
of the same year lie wrote to FERDI-
NANp PRAEGER OF London, to say:
mo doubt you will be angry with
me when you hear that I am soon 10
marry NoN BuEiow's wife, who Is to
become a convert in order to be di-
vorced"
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN accomplishments
may be readily estimated from these
records. He has doubtless earned his
iron cross.
