BLACK RED G AME BANTAMs

son red in neck, top of wing, back and saddle feathers, the breast. tail, body and wing bars being glossy, greenish- black. In contrast to the brilliant color ing of the male, the female is a soft. even, brownish gray with salmon-colored breast, and yeliowish neck hackles. Their feathering is very short and hard, being barely sufficient to thinly cover the body.
 The hens are rems. .rkable layers of eggs, which, while small. are comparatively large for such small hens to produce. In some quarters there is the belief that Game Bantam eggs are to beneficial for invalids that at one time a Game Bantam Farm was started in New York city es- pecially to furnish eegs to invalids.
 Black-Red Game Bantam hens make splendid mothers, not only for their own chicks, but they have been successfully used for rearing chicks Of the larger fowls. Lake all Bantams, they are more careful and attentive to their young.

what he wanted from every situation, in- cident, and associate. He continued being a superman when he returned to his mil lions three years later and prepared for college by paying huge sums to profess sors who would give him years work in a week. He went rather tamely through the state university of Calfor- mia, but he told his guardians: Don't think I am a dead one because I am a darn nice, mertorious boy at college. am young. I am alive. I am all lusty and husky. But I make no mistake. l hold myself. I don't start out now to blow up on the first lap. I am just get ting ready. l am going to have my time" Accordingly, after he had grad uated, taken a course in the college of agriculture, and bought, stocked, and started under experts a big ranch, he fared forth into the world and had his "time," a veritable superman time" un- til he was 30 years old. This had all happened before the opening of the story, but MT London gives off-hand glimpses of a few of the things he did in the course of his time"
 He is still being superman when the story opens with him, at the age of 40, running his immense ranch of a quarter million acres on principles of efficiency, working at high tension, accomplishing marvels getting their best out of soil and animals and men and himself, and whether at work or play, going like steam engine of perfect finish and fit ness. But, well-nigh all-efficient and all- wise though he is, he fails to realize that times clock has struck the hour in which husbands must bethin1 them selves how they can hold the love of their wives. And so, when Forests s friend Evan Graham, equally a super man with himself, comes to visit him the one situation in the story develops Nearly half the length of the tale has been told before the reader begins to understand what the story is to be. Its drama is wholly concerned with the de- veloping of the situation in which Paula Forests wife, the Little Lady of the Big House. and herself quite a notable superwoman, finds herself deeply in love with Graham, and at the same time, she believes and so tells her husband, in love with him also. The problem finds it so- lution in tragedy-tragedy which wrings the heart strings-tragedy which is so absolutely unnecessary as to be gro- tesque.

To the intensely practical, Bantams of any kind have little attraction. The Bantam fanciers, however, have 8 poul- try world of their own, which is quite as active, and in which the rivalry Is even more keen than among the breeders of large fowls. Probably the greatest monument to the difficult art of breed ing is the Seabright Bantam, whose marking, feathering, shape and coora- tion have been the wonder of several generations.
 No other breed or variety brings as much per pound for good specimens as do the Game Bantams, especially in the Black Red variety. This is the most popular of all the Game Bantams, and to win highest honors in this variety is the ambition of every breeder.
 Black Red Game Bantams are slim, little fowls, having long legs and neck, solid. compact, heart-shaped bodies, and narrow, tightly closed tails Their color alton is beautiful. They have rich crim-

that sells egg drinks will buy selected cartoned eggs at a premium. Many of these stores do not hesitate to hang up a business card near their fountain which states that they use nothing but day-old eggs from such poultry farm. If you work in large office, you can dispose of cartons of eggs daily to your fellow employees, obtaining in this way mora than if you sold to a middleman. Let your neighbors know that they can buy selected eggs from you packed in car tons, and they will buy them. The fore going are not imaginary ways in which you can sell eggs in cartons; they are openings that have been successfully de- veloped in each case into a profitable business that demanded more eggs than the plant could supply.
 Cartons are convenient to fill and carry to the customer. They can be readily sealed and guaranteed. This seal un- broken is a guarantee of quality ap- pears on one style of colored label that can be pasted over the cover of lid and front. They are sanitary, they are at tractive and inexpensive, and there is practically no danger of breaking the eggs.
 Shipping table eggs by parcel post has opened unlimited markets for the poul- tryman located on a rural route far from the express office, but unfortunately, mailing eggs in this way is not feasible, unless the carriers are returned and used several times. Heavy, corrugated paste board containers, which are demanded by the postoffice department to prevent damage to other mail, should be pur- chased in large lots to reduce their cost. Even then the cost of the container and the postage on one dozen eggs mailed to customer in the first zone is about Il cents. If the empty containers are returned. and used six or eight times. this charge is greatly reduced.
 Standardized poultry is in demand: the mongrel must go if profits are to be expected The former means not alone fine feathers and fine form, but de- pendable quality in meat and eggs. In next weeks article G. R. Smith takes up this problem from every standpoint.

"1NsrrAn or rur ruoRN u

INSTEAD OF THE THORN" By Clara Louise Burnham. Frontispiece
 by Joseph Nupttens Houghton Mifflin
 Co.,, publishers, Boston.
 This is the story of a young Chicago girl brought up in luxury, whose father dies suddenly from the show of an un- fortunate investment which practically sweeps away his business. The girl Linda, becomes ill from breeding over the disgrace which she fancies attaches to her fathers memory and she is espe- cially bitter toward Bertram King, her fathers young business associate, whom she practically accuses of having specu- lated dshonestly. The fact that King is in love with her complcates the situa- ton.
 To help her recover from the shock Lindas aunt, Miss Belinda Barry, and her friend Mrs. Porter, persuade her to Maine. There, with the kind hearted vil- lage people who have known her father in his boyhood and under the influence of the two who love her. Linda gradu- ally becomes happy once more, and as a natural consequence her love affair is satisfactorily consummated
 Mrs. Burnham has lost none of her faculty for combining a good love story with an inspiring lesson in Instead of the Thorn" Her many admirers will find in her new story as much pleasure and inspiration as in anything she has ever written.

takes out the undersize eggs, saving you the trouble of weighing the eggs to learn if they weigh two ounces.
 See that each egg has clean, smooth shell. A damp cloth can be used to re- move a little dirt, but the eggs should not be washed. Reject stained or dirty eggs, and those that are cracked.
 PACKING AND SHIPPING
 Place one-half inch of dry excelsior in the bottom of one side of the crate and distribute it evenly; cover it with flat piece of strawboard and on that lay filler with openings for three dozen eggs Pack the eggs large end up. Complete the five filters on one side; cover with a flat and one-haIf inch of excelsior. Fill the other side similarly, and nail the cover securely. It is immaterial whether you prepay the express charges or send the crates charges collect. In the latter case the commission merchant will deduct the charges from the sale of the eggs.
 CARTONS DEVELOP TRADE
 Poultrymen who do not obtain suf- ficient eggs to warrant shipping in crates. should sell fancy eggs in car tons holding one dozen each. These cartons are made in two styles; one style holds three rows of four eggs each, the other holds two rows of six eggs each. Select the latter, because 30 of these 2-6 cartons can be packed in the regulation crate, taking the place of the flats and filters. The cartons cost, printed with your adver- tisement, about two-thirds of cent each in thousand lots.
 Select and grade the eggs to place in the cartons with care. Do not mix white and brown eggs together If you have breeds that lay the two colors pack each color in one carton. Use the egg scale and reject undersze eggs. Have the eggs clean. and smooth-shelled.
 There are grocers in your town who will pay you a premium of several cents per dozen for fancy eggs in cartons, after sending out a few cartons to their cus- toners. Many grocers sell the eggs in the original carton. thus advertising the breeder and increasing the demand for his eggs Every drug or cigar store
