LAND AS GOOD AS ANY.

Secretary Lane has discovered there
are approximately 400 100000 acres
Of undcvelopcd land just as good az
any in the United States and it is
upon this land that he is aiming to
settle tic soldiers who return from
the European war and who may not
care to settle down to an indoor on
istencc after their experience in the
open.
Part OF this land is in the arid re
gions where gigantic water rcclama
ton projects will redeem them. But
the greater amou t of land available
is The "cut over" land of the North
west and of the Southwest. There
are about 200,000,000 acres of "cut-
over land" and in addition to this
there is approximately another 100
100000 acres OF swamp land which
may be reclaimed by drainage proc
esscs. Secretary Lane finds there arc
hundreds OF thousands OF acres of
other lands in the various States cul
tivatable.

get on: Does the story end with Jeans love OF
Hugh? No, for she loves him from the moment she
sets ewes on him. With his love of her? No With
the mutual confession of their love! Mo-
It ends when Mr. Webster has killed Hugh's

Which suggests that if you really want to write
the story of family, American or other, You can
not do it by writing, while writing, the story
of the family 'black sheep" (meaning, again,
the odd one the peculiar child; Hugh's morals
were above reproachl. In saying this there is no
finding fault with Mr. Webster, who, the facts
show. didn't set out to write family chronicle.
He did set out to write some chapters IN the life
of Hugh Corbett, and the fact that his novel eX-
banded until ii became, in some measure, family
chronicle is Just so much to his credit, as being
that much beyond and over his original intent.
Mastery of Difficult Material.
The first half of An american Family is the first
half of a very wonderful book the last half OF which
has not been written No doubt it will be some day.
and the day can't be very distant. The thing that
makes the first half of Mr. Webser's novel so much
of an achievement is his precise mastery for his
purposes of exceedingly difficult material Nothing

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
AS hen stops laying there is a
tendency for her to take on fat. This
is noticeable in examining the pelvic
bones, the two bones which can be
felt as points on either side Of the
vent. When the hen is laying these
bones are comparatively thin and flex-
ible. When she is not laying they feel
thicker and less flexible, due to the
fat which has accumulated there. The
spread or distance apart of these pei
vic bones is also a valuable indication
of whether or not the hen is laying.
When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying. This spread
can be roughly measured for practical
purposes by determining how many
fingers can be laid between the bones.
If the spread measures two fingers
or less, the probabilities are that the
hen is not laying, while if the spread

measuring the spread the size Of the
hens of different breeds with the cor
responding difference in the spread
must be kept in mind.
The distance from the rear end of
the keel bone to the pelvic bones in
creases with a consequent increase in
size of the abdomen. A spread of three
or more fingers in the smaller breeds,
as the Leghorn, and four or five fin.
gers in the larger breeds, such as the
Plymouth Rock, indicates that the hen

less than two fingers in the smaller
breeds and less than three fingers in
the larger breeds indicates that she is
