BACKWARD SEASON AFFECTS
EGG LAYING CONTEST
Barred Rocks of Brool<fieId Center Led
the Flock for the Past Week.

The hens in the laying contest at
StorrS have begun their second half
year. The total yield in the 9th week
amounted to 1858, not as many eggs
as were laid in the corresponding pc
Rod last year, but the season has been
backward and in consequence the
hens are about two weeks late in get
ting out into the grass runs. This
change will undoubtedly make for
more snap and will mean more eggs
during the next few weeks.
Merritt M. Clarke's Barred Rocks
from Brookf1eld Center, Conn., were
first for the week with a yield of So
eggs, and Koshaw Farms White Leg
horns from CRANKY. Conn. were a close
second with yield of 81 eggs. Three

Last week it was suggested that the
poultrymen ought now to plan for

BREAD FROM BUDS OF
LIME AND BEACH TREES
Said to Be the Latest Promise of Ger
man Scientists.

Berlin. May 11.-Bread made from
the spring buds of lime and beech
trees, is the latest promise of German
scientists. Two brothers named Bran
co have perfected the process of pro-
ducing a flour from this source, with
considerable quantities of fat and an
imal fodder as by-products. They es-
innate that about 100000 tons OF the
new flour can be produced annually
in Germany. The -four is said to
have the same nutritive value as bar
ley.
The Imperial Corn Office is skeptical
as to the value of the invention, de-
clarinE that the harvesting of the buds
and the preparation of the -four in
volve such an expenditure of man
power and money that it hardly seems
likely the invention can be exploited
at present.

First Of Printed Books.

Although neither CaxtOn nor other OF
early printers included any part of the
holy scriptures among their produc-
tions, it is a noteworthy fact that the
Bible was the first printed book in the
world, being, moreover, the master
piece of the illustriOus inventor of the
art of printing, Johann Gensfeisch Won
Sulzebach, surnamed Zum Gutenberg,
having associated himself with Johann
Faust of Mentz, produced with his as
sistance, in 1450-55 (the book is un-
dated) the famous folio Latin Bible
commonly known as the Mazarin Bible,
the first copy having been discovered
in the library of Cardinal Mazarin.
The expense of this production was so
great that Gutenberg was unable to re-
pay his partner the money that he had
advanced, and was obliged to resign
to him the whole of his printing estab-
lishment and plant, with which Faust,
In partnership with Peter Schoeffer,
printed the equally famous Mentz Psal'
ter in 1857. By the testimony of auc-
ton prices these are the two most val
liable books in the world.

PICKANNINNY IS REAL MUMMY
Body of Little Black Baby Preserved
in Pennsylvania City Did Not
Change in Twenty Years.

A real mummy, little colored baby,
born some 20 years ago, who died
after living several weeks, is preserved
in an undertaking establishment at
Chester, Pa.
There is no record of the parentage
Of the infant, and in brief its history
is that it was found dead 20 years ago,
and that the body was turned over to
the late Thomas Minshall, then an un-
dertaker and deputy coroner. AS the
body was never claimed, he decided to
use it for experimental purposes in
embalming, and prepared special mix
ture of embalming fluid, portion Of
which he injected into the little body.
The result proved successful, and in
a short time there were evidences Of
mummifcatiOn, and after being an OBJ
ject of curiosity and a ''ten days won
DER the mummy, christened 'Izzie," I"
was taken to an unused room in the
building and tucked away on the top
shelf of a closet
During all these years the infant
body has lain there undisturbed, ex-
cept when some curious person has
called at the establishment and re-
Quested permission to see it. The
mummy is 20 inches long, weighs two
pounds and resembles in every way q
real cOlOred baby.

Blossoms for Dead Soldiers.

One of the most prosperous agricul-
tural districts in France at the pres
ent time is in the near neighbOrhoOd
of Toulon, the Mediterranean seaport
not far from Marseilles, and therefore
far distant from the scene of war.
But the war is to this district the
most important source of its prosper
ity. For it's chief product is those
tiny, lOng-lasting flowers known as
"immortelles." They go, in vast guam
titles, to decorate the graves of French
soldiers. In early spring the fields
planted with them are densely carpet
ed with the blossOms-associate in
everybOdy's mind not with life, but
with death-which are picked in early
morning, before the dew is off the
ground, and shipped, via Toulon, to
all parts of France.

Keep Your Fish Dry.

Strange as it may seem there ts
nothing in the world that will spoil q
dead fish so quickly as water. If your
fishing conditions are such as to pre-
vent your keeping your catch alive,
by all means kill each one as quickly
a. caught, and having done so dry it
and keep it dry. Remember that a
fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize is doomed to a
speedy death by suffOcation.t If you
must string them use one of the
patent stringers that holds through
the jaw and gives the fish a fighting
chance for life. If, however, you can
neither treat your catch in this way
nor turn them loose in q tank, kill
them instantly, wipe them quite dry
and keep them sheltered from the sun.
Fish should not be packed so that
they come in direct contact with ice /;
place a sheet of nonabsorbent paper
between. Avoid damp moss or sea-
weed in your creel.

True Friendship.

We are all inclined to lean too much
on friendship; to depend not on our
own souls for strength, but on the
strength that comes from other SOULS
So the building in process of erection
has many props to support it; but as
1T nears completion prop after prop is
knocked away, and it is secure only
as it rises firmly In its own founda-
ton. No friend can bear our burden
for us; the most he can do is to help
as to bear it well, prompting US to en-
deavor by his sympathy and wisdom.
If we have so used friendship that we
have lost the power to stand alone, we
have misused it.
