MOST PRODUCTIVE HEN TYPE
Poultry Keepers Aim to Combine Econ. omy and Efficiency-More Eggs
 From Fewer Hens.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture0
 American poultry keepers as class have always aimed to combine econ omy and efficiency in poultry produc- tion. In wartime patriotism impelS them to extraordinary efforts in this direction, moving them to do every thing, and to leave nothing undone that will help to quickly increase the nations supplies of poultry and eggs. If is not the high cost of feed alone, since America entered the war, that has led to more careful attention to the routine work in poultry keeping, and to greater judgment and skill in feeding. The saving of money has been an incentive, but, above and be yond that, every poultry keeper real izes that getting better production from less feed is doing double duty in conservation and produetion-saving feed and at the same time increasing food.
 That American poultry keepers are, on the whole more efficient in egg pro duetion seems to be plainly indicated hy the fact that, as compared with the period before the war. market receipts of eggs Increased more thah receipts of poultry. Reports from persons in touch with production in many locali- ties agree that more eggs are being produced from the usual numbers of hans Earf ard i1, r,,arfx- iffctaaaas,= f,.oI11 smaller numbers. It may well be pre- sumed that such efficiency in one line Of production extends to others closely co-ordinated with it, and that poultry meat iS being grown mofe ecenomical- ly-though no common statistics indi- cate 1t, and it k not so readily ob- served ill common practice.
 Among professional breeders of standard poultry the first result of wartime conditions was to emphasize afresh, and more effectively than ever, the benefits of rigid selection of breed- ing stock and severe eHllins of the young stock while growing The high cost of feed hit this class of poultry keepers hardest because. even under normal conditions. considerable part of their stock must be carried for quite long time after coming te maturity before it is sold. The concentration of interest and industry upon things immediately relating to the conduct of the war and the production of food tended to decrease the demand for their stock
 So, with stock actually costing a great deal more than in normal times. they had to face the problem of either reduced sales or lower prices on good grades of stock to attract trade. Some chose one alternative. some the other but all adopted the policy of using only

THE MAKING IF A FAMOUS
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where th,a successful remedy is made innreseea even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman s ills.
 Over $50, 900 pounds of various herhs are used anually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is steriIized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Con- pound which we are continually pub- fishing attest to its virtue.

CHAPTER XII.
Something Carolyn May Wishes to

-f2-
 Something Carolyn May Wishes to
 Know.
 Carolyn Mays heart was filled with trouble.
 This was the result of her first talk with the old sailor. Not from him. nor from anybody else, did Carolyn May get any direct information that the sailor had been aboard the Dunraven on her fatal voyage But his story awoke in the ehild'S breast doubts and longings, uncertainties and desires that had lain dormant for many weeks.
 Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her and were kind to her. But that feel ing of emptiness that had at first so troubled Carolyn May was returning.
 She began to droop. Keen=eyed Aunty Rose discovered this physical change very quickly.
 '.She's just like droopy chicken ; declared the good woman. and, good ness knows, I have seen enough of them"
 So, as stimuant and preventive ' boneset tea, plenty of it.'
 Three times q day Carolyn May was dOsed with boneset tea. How long the child's stomach would have endured under this treatment will never he known. Carolyn May get nc better, that WIS sure; but one day something happened.
 Winter had moved on in it's usual frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May had kept up all her interests-after | fashion.
 Benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams camp to work. It seemed he could use I peeyy. or canthook, pretty well, hay- ing done something besides sailing In his day. Tim, the hac1man, worked at logging in the winter months, too He usually went past the Stagg place with q team four times each day.
 There WAS something Carolyn May wished to ask Benjamin Hardy. but she did not want anybody else to know what il Was-not even Uncle Joe or Aunty Rose Once in the fall and be- fore the snow came she had ridden as far as Adams camp with MT. Paflow. He had gone there for some hickory wood.
 But, now to ride on the empty sled going in and on top of the load of logs coming out of the forest, Carolyn May felt sure, would be much more exciting. She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe on q Friday evening.
 Well. now, if it.s pleasant, don't see anything te forbid. Do you Aunty Rose?" Mir Stagg returned.
 T presume Tim will take the best of care of her" the woman said. Maybe, getting out more in the air will make her look less peaked, Joseph Stagg."
 The excitement of preparing to go to the camp the next morning brought the roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks and made her eyes sparkle. When Tim. the hackman, went into town with his first load he was forewarned by Aunty Rose that he would have company going baek.
 Pitcher of George Washington :" ex- claimed Tim. "The boys will near bout take a holiday.
 There was but one woman in the camp, Judy Mason. She lived in one of the log huts with her husband. He was a sawyer. and Judy did the mems washing.
 Benjamin Hardy was pleased. in deed to see his little friend again.
 You come with me, please" she whispered to the old seaman after din, her. You can smoke. You haven't got to go back to work yet, and Tin is only just loading his sled. So we can talk"
 Aye, aye, little miss. WhatH we talk about?" queried Benjamin eau

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

the value Of those positions.
The little patches of forest which
are now in the hands of the allies are
virtually on the extreme right of the
British line and from their eastern
borders-it is possible to observe close
ly quite a wide stretch of ground. The
allied positions for several miles on
each side Of the two woods have been
materially improved by their capture.
These were virtually the last OF the
teally more important positions on
the new front to which the enemy
has been holding and which the al
lied forces desired. The enemy
launched a heavy attack late yester-
day. against the new positions at
Damery. After sharp fighting he
was repulsed, leaving $50 prisoners.
