TRULY WONDERFUL
NEW BREED OF HENS TO
 LAY TWO EGGS A DAY

That there are hens with a two apartment egg factory, is shown by report from Leesville, Ohio. The report says:
 Two months ago when MT. and Mrs. John T. Timmons, the former being known as the blind author and naturalist, decided to move from Cadiz, Ohio, to Leesville, they decided to sell all their poultry ex- cept four hens which they decided to keep to supply the table immed- lately previous to their moving, and all the hens were disposed of but four. The next evening one of these was killed, and the following day when there were but three hens left in a coop which was clos ed on account of cold weather, four eggs were found in the nest.
 This was looked upon as strange, and close watch was kept by MT. and Mrs. Timmons, and on three more occasions prior to their nov ing away from Cadiz, one of the remaining hens laid two eggs in one day, and once she laid two eggs within a few minutes of each oth CT. On the following day she laid one egg.
 The hens was taken to the new home in Leesville, where she has on two occasions repeated the per formance of depositing two nor mally sized eggs, very much alike in shape and weight, in the nest within few minutes. This hen is cross between Rhode Island Red mother and Barred Rock roost- CT.
 Other chickens were matched at the same time this hen was brought into the world, and Mrs. Timmons in dressing one of the other hens discovered that the fowl had two distinct, well-formed lay pokes with eggs in each, and this caused them to think that had had the fact been known and the hen watched ste, too, might have laid two eggs n a day.
 IL is thought by a number of persons interested in the matter that a breed of fowls might be treated that would lay two eggs a day regularly.
 One very noticeable feature in connection with the foregoing is the fact the two-a-day hens does not lay as long as other hens before she wants to set, but she deposits about the average number of eggs in a layer before the breeding no- tion strikes her.

existed in Madagascar hundreds of thousands of years ago, but it's eggs have been exhumed from drifting sands of the southern DOT tion of the island. This bird is supposed to have given rise to the fable of the roc in the Arabian
 Nights" A good specimen of the great auk's egg sold for $1,500,
 There are just sixty-eight of them known to be in existence, of which America possesses three-one at Washington, one at Vassar College and one at the Academy of Natural
 Sciences in Philadelphia. The auk's eggs were five inches long and two or three inches wide, and weighed about two pounds. One would make an omelet for a good-sized family.

HIGH PRICED EGGS.

A flock of one hundred hens pro duce in egg shells about one hun dred and thirty-seven pounds of chalk annually, yet not an ounce of this substance is found around hens feeding ground. Pebbles. stones, brickdust, bone, etc., are eagerly consumed by hens and oth- CT birds, and out of these the egg shells are manufactured. Of all birds now in existence the ostrich lays the largest egg, but relatively to it's size the kivi, strange, wing less New Zealand species of os- trich, is the champion, with an egg not less than five inches long, al though the bird itself is only 27 inches long. The epiyornis egg measured nine by thirteen inches and a good specimen is worth about one thousand dollars. The epiyornis

 Acts 17:22-33.
 "In Him We live, and move, and have our being"
 St. Paul, an educated Jew, is talking to learned Greeks in the worlds university center. He does not bring God to them, but argues that God has been always with them. This is true also for us. Our life is lived in the presence of God, and we can live better lives if we remember that God is all ways here with us.

PROF. SHAMBAUGH
IS GIVEN PRAISE
State Bulletin Quotes What He
Says About the Rural
Teachers Home

The State Board of Education has
incorporated in bulletin extracts
from the report of County School Su-
perintendent 7. C. Shambaugh. The
board gives special attention to his
recommendations for proper homes
for teachers in rural districts.
The extracts say:
1--WE have experienced considerable
difficulty in filling some schools TINS
year because of the fact that the
teachers were unable to get suitable
boarding places near the school. The
situation should be made the subject
of thought on the part of directors
during the coming year. Every rural
teacher should board in the commun-
ity and become identified with the
work of the community. Many
teachers are obliged to live under con-
ditions which preclude them from
doing the best work. Every teacher
should be provided with a warm room
apart from the confusion of the COM
mon living room. The lack OF a
boarding place together with the low
salaries is responsible for the exodus
of many of our best teachers from the
rural schools into the town where
living conditions are more congenlal:
In many cases teachers in rural
schoals are obliged to board in some
nearby town, coming to the commun-
ity in the morning and leaving in the
evening. Thus it often happens that
the influence of good teacher Is loSt
to the community"
/, Superintendent Shambaugh recog-
nizes, too that "A natural corollary of
good schools is good roads. The sue
cessful teachers interest will lie far
beyond the four walls of the school
room. Any movement that will make
be community better and happier de-
mands the earnest teachers support.
We have learned that the isolation OF
a community increased directly as the
roads are poor. If we lay aside the
usual dry-as-dust textbooks in civics
and give the pupils some real live les
sons in the way of creating better
citizenship we shall speedily discover
that this topic will afford unlimited
opportunities in this direction. The
subject can be most successfully cor
related with language, arithmetic,
geography and history. Appoint a
road patrol who shall report on the
condition of the roads, teach them to
make small models of the different
kinds of roads and have a cross sec
tion to show the construction of the
same. Arithmetic problems can be
based on the cost of transportation on
good roads as compared with the same
on poor roads"
