YOUNG HENS LAY BEST.

1t has been found by both expert
ence among poultrymen and investi.
cations at our experiment stations
that old hens do not generally pay
their board as layers. The recommen-
dations are, therefore that layers be
disposed Of after the third year II
they are kept strictly for layers.
This does not apply to old hens as
mothers. Often old hens make better
mothers than pullets, and when one
Is found that generally raises a large
per cent OF the chicks one Is tempted
to keep her so long as she is useful.
But 1t does not pay to keep hens to
hatch and raise chickens. It is cheap
er to hatch with the incubator. The
incubator, you will recall, does not
eat expensive feed nor does 1t harbor
lice, mites. fleas, ticks, etc. 1t is true
1t requires some fuel, but only when
1t Is being used to hatch. It does not
require expense in winter when 1t Is
not being un.
The farmer who keeps but a few
hens should see to 1t that they are
producers. The layers should be re.
placed with pullets every few years
so that young hens will be in the
yards to lay. It is true that farmers
feed bill for poultry is not generally
heavy, as fowls on the farm require
little except grain that is not suit.
able for other purposes. But It is a
fact, nevertheless, that with good lay
ing hens the grain consumed would
be far more profitable than for old,
inactive hens.
Some attention should be given to
chickens from layers with rec. !
ords even on the farm. 1t may not
be advisable for the farmer to trap
nest, but he can determine about
what his hens are doing, It is his
privilege to know how many profit.
able hens he has. and the ,boarders.
Il they are eating his feed. He can
estimate the number Of eggsj they lay
and soon determine whether or not
he birds are profitable.
The hens may be banded with leg.
bands, then 1t is easier 10 tell what
her record is and how long she has
been IN the yard.-Farm and Ranch.

The senatorial run-off primary. as
the returns now indicate will be
between Colquitt and Cuiberson. The
Eagle stated a few days ago that II
the run-off was between Colquitt and
Culberson. Colquitt would be an easy
winner-since a more careful analy.
sis Of the situation we have changed
u opinion. We believe Culberson
would retain In the run.off all his
present vote. get three-fourths OF tho
pro vote OF the state and have an
even break with Colquitt for the anti
vote that went to Henry and the 9th.
or candidates. Our prediction now
Is that Culberson will retain his seat

THE VOICE OF OPPORTUNITY.

The highest priced security in the

Of the Union Sulphur company Of
Louisiana, Recently this stock was
price at $4,000 per share. Now the

and still there has been no sellers.

In all the world are located. At that
time the people In all that country
were engaged In logging--cutting that
magnificent long leaf, yellow pine in
the forests. hauling 1t to the streams
and then floating 1t in RATS to the
mills at Orange and Lake Chrales.
The great wagons used in conveying
the logs from the forest to the stream
required q large amount OF lubricants
and this was furnished by nature.
On all the slashes and standing pools
Of water around where Sulphur is
now located, a thick coating Of po-
troleum was to be found and loggers
for twenty-five miles around secured
their lubricants by skimming the
pure oil from these pools. They never
stopped to think where ~ came from
or how 1t cawe(6 be there, and

The rule which now covers this poin,
is as follows:
