When Eaas Are HIGHEST.

How to get eggs in late fall and early winter
when they are highest Is a serious problem with
most poultrymen.
Taking it for granted that the pullets were
Matched early and have made good growth during
the summer season, we would get the entire flock
Of spring pullets, yearlings and all into winter
quarters in September. That is, we would have
the poultryhouse and yards put in order for win
ter then, so there will be no Encouragement to
disturb the flock or in any way disarrange its
daily routine or habits during late October, Noyem-
Der and December, when we most desire the eggs.
One of the principal factors for securing a high
egg production in the poultry flock is exercise. A
hen kept closely cooped will not lay as many
eggs during a season; she will take on fat instead
and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty of
range-and then get a larger basket in which to
carry the eggs to market.

Single Comb Black Leshorns.

Not many years ago this breed was little known
to breeders. They have made rapid strides and
are becoming very popular. The heavy Minorca
combs, high tails, very dark legs and purple instead
of black plumage have all been bred out and today
the Black Leghorns are as good in slope as the
other Leghorns. Their combs are equally as small
and neat as the whites or browns. They carry
their tails low and well spread. Their legs show
a good yellow color together with a good green
sheen to the plumage.
Among many fanciers black is a desired color
and among these admirers and fanciers the Black
Leghorn, in many instances, is replacing its brown
or white sister. They are persistent layers of large
chalk white eggs and there's no reason why they
should lack popularity any longer.

II we examine the life history Of
any substance with sufficient knowl-
edge and sufficient care. says the En-
gineer, we shall find that nature pro-
vides means and forces that little by
little are turning that substance into
dust. The manipulations of man
greatly assist in the process. But ma
ture itself is always active in it and
even without mans aid is quite COM
petent to achieve the task. At times
we strive to hinder the process, as, for
example, when we apply paint to IRON
work in order to prevent it from rust
ing. But we can hinder il only for
time, and even then we merely check
the degradation of one substance by
degrading another. Thus we have con-
stantly to renew the paint on our IRON
work. The former coats disappear
wholly or in part, and the material of
which they were composed has turned
to dust. We may accordingly look
forward to time when all matter will
be uniformly distributed as dust
throughout space, a condition that, &C.
cording to the nebular hypothesis,
actually did prevail at one time. before
the universe, as we know it, was
