due to the shortage In laying stock and
to the failure on the part of poultry
raisers to feed their hens adequately.
Reports from the largest egg buyer
in Kansas show that the egg prOduc-
ton is from 20 to 40 per cent lower
than it was a year ago, and last years
production was below normal. The
government reports 80 per cent less
eggs in cold storage on April than at
that time last year.
Give the laying hens more feed. They
should have good feed Of grain at
night and all the sour milk they can
use during the day. The farmer should
use the cheapest grain feed he has.
whether corn. kafir or feterita.
1t is too common practice on the
Kansas farms to let the hens shift for
themselves during the spring and sum,
mer, or, mt most, to throw them little
grain Birds fed in this way seldom
give profitable production the follow
ing fall and winter. The most serious
shortage will come next November, De
cember and January, unless precaution-
airy measures are taken.
Keep Oh Matching until the LIST OF
July and have an abundance of young
chicks to help bolster up the food
shortage. Well fed chicks will weigh
three pounds in fifteen to seventeen
weeks, and this is profitable time to
nut them on the market. 1t gives a
IL y~er On rcaSS for food and IS inst as
profitable for the farmer. A three
hound chick will eat eight to ten pounds
Of feed in addition to what it picks up
on the farm. There Is money in them
even at the high price of feed.
The pullets should be well fed so that
they will be ready to lay before cold
weather Caution should be taken not
to develop small breeds too early. FOR

Decline Of English Agriculture.

Up to about the year 1886 all went
we'll with English agriculture and the
value Of land and rents constantly in
creased. Then came a few wet, ruin
Gus seasons. largely increasing imports
of grain, beef. bacon and cheese from
the United States and heavy fall In
prices Of all kinds Of farm products.
What was the cause? Simply that the
Western prairie lands were opened up
by railroads and those big ranch own
ers sent their products East What
was not needed In the Eastern states
was shipped to English free-trade mar.
kets. with the inevitable outcome Of
low prices.
In q comparatively short while thou.
sands Of English farmers were ruined.
land fell 40 per cent in price, rents
had to be lowered fully one-third and
the rural population decreased.

Increasing the Eco Supply.

The number Of marketable eggs can
lie increased by following a few prac-
teal suggestions, says the United
States department Of agriculture.
Among the most important Of these
are the production of the infertile egg
after the breeding season is over and
n, proper handling OF eggs by the
'arIucr before sending them to mar
Nct. The infertile egg is obtained when
I'll male birds are removed from tbs,
l.ock. This does not decrease the num-
Der Of eggs produced. but it does In.
crease greatly their keeping qualities.
The production of the infertilc egg and
the proper handling and marketing Of
c":-s by the producer would increase
tremendously the number Of market
able eggs each year by diminishing the
quantity that are rendered unfit for
food

DAY OF BACHELOR
War Brings a New Dignity to Un-
married Man.
He Who May BE Merely Tolerated 10
Time Of Peace 10 lionIzed When
Call to Arms Comes.

War has given the unmarried man
some Of the dignity which he lacked
In peace. Ordinarily the bachelor 10
tolerated for what he may become
rather than for what he Is, observes
4 writer In the San Francisco Bulletin
Mothers would not welcome him int
society nor girls take pleasure In his
attentions If 1t were thought that ne
would always remain bachelor. ue
hope of converting him into a married
man furnishes one of the main lncen-
tives of all social activities. AS this
hone declines he becomes more and
more q misfit in world which prizes
itself on finding an exactly shaped
corner for everyone Of its inhabitants
who is worth troubling about. His
socks are not darned, his buttons are
not sewed on, and the number OF
Jumps of sugar which he likes In his
coffee, the degree Of boiledness which
he demands in his eggs, are nobody's
business but his own. He Is free, q
condition which In youth makes him
the envy of his married friends, but IN
later years makes him envy them. He
can 60 anywhere he pleases at any
time he pleases without having even
to argue the matter with woman,
but the reason that no woman cares
what he does. He Is free because no
one is interested enough In him to
care to put shackles on him.
There is no fixed place for him. He
stands free of the burden Of the bene-
diets endeavors, but at cost. He
sees men and women doing things for
motives which he cannot understand.
Social forces Of various sorts perplex
him because he does not see their hid
den origins. What is plain enough to
any mediocre husband is often hope
less puzzle to even the most thoughtful
bachelor. He cannot fully understand
any intangible loyalty because he is
no longer in contact with the source
of loyalty-the relations between
parents and children. For certain ad-
venture he can be depended upon to
furnish dash and enthusiasm, but for
the steady, grinding work Of everyday
life he is inferior to his married
neighbor. Civic progress relies princi-
pally upon the man whose interests
carry over into the next generation and
are not confined to his own corporal
welfare.
But this somewhat pathetic figure of
the bachelor is wonderfully dignified
by the advent Of war. The married
man, in most cases, is handicapped
from fighting. His business is to raise
wheat and children, a necessary task,
but lacking the appearance Of glory.
Chivalry beyond the dreams of medic
val knighthOOd may animate the man
who helps his wife take care of the
babies, preparing their bottles and
hanging out their clothes, but in times
Of war he is not heroic figure. The
demand then is not for men who have
found their places in the world, but
for those who have not. The wifeless,
landless, footfree person is the stuff
of which armies can be made with the
least possible social loss. Because he
was so forlOrn In peace he Is lionized
In war. He marries war and the gov
eminent sews his buttons on and darns
the holes in his socks.
