commonly supposed to be the charac-
teristics of egg type. Large size and
an indolent temperament are supposed
to be characteristics of the meat type,
and medium size without either
marked energy or great Incidence are
supposed to be the characteristics Of
the mediocre dual-purpose type. While
this, in a general way, is true, there
are exceptions, as can be noted in the
accompanying tables. These tables
show that egg production and meat
production are not entirely a simple
matter of size, weight and tempera-
ment. Table No. 1 is a list Of we'll
known standard breeds grouped ac-
cording to their general type. Table
No. 2 is list of the same breeds ar
ranged in the order of their weight,
beginning with the smallest.
There is a wide range of individual
differences among the standard breeds,
some strains of q particular breed
being better suited for egg production
than meat, and vice versa.
Good physical development, vitality.
constitutional vigor, a good digestive
stability of function in the reproduc-
tive organs are the distinguishing
characters and traits of dependable
good layers.
The existence of all these, however,
is not enough to insure good laying.
Of hn ly
good management, even if the keeper
has not special skill. But If with these
qualities which make for continual lay.
ing there exists tendency to put o0
fat whenever laying is interrupted,
only unremitting skillful management
to keep a hen in good laying condi
ton will make her a first-class egg
producer.
The egg type or laying type of hen,
in any breed, is the hen that with the
qualities that make for good egg pro-
duction has no quality which is an
obstacle to continual laying. The
meat type is not the converse of the
egg type, even though the hen that
is not a good layer is fit only for meat.
Meat Type Grows Rapidly.
The meat type, in all kinds of poul-
try, is the type that grows rapidly and
at maturity carries abundant flesh,
especially where the preferred parts Of
the meat are produced. The most de-
sirable meat type is rather fine in
bone, with the frame we'll knit but
not too compact. Under any kind of
good management a hen of this type
that is in normal condition will be a
good layer. She may not lay any bet
ter than a hen not quite so well
fleshed, but she ought to lay just as
well, and when the time comes to
make meat of her she makes more and
better meat, and as breeder she nat
urally tends to reproduce offspring
that will make more and better meat.

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

It came in the form of a letter from
Colonel Howard. the first in two years.
Howard had. in the past, repeatedly
tried to induce Mark to take advantage
of opportunities that he had put before
him. but Mark had refused stubbornly,
until the Major had given him up in
disgust. Howard did not know, and
Mark did not himself understand, the
underlying idea in his own mind, the
sense of subdued rancor against the
man who had robbed him of Eleanor,
coupled with the sense of sacrifice,
that he might withdraw all his claims
on the child.
Now, however, Howard made one
more attempt.
Il want you to think this PROPOSE
ton over as quickly as possible" he
wrote, mot for my sake or yours, but
because your duty is to take the job.
With war with Germany in plain view
TO the initiated. there are great things
doing in Washington, and I've been
offered my old post at the mobilization
department, which has been enlarged

the West is better known than you
think, Wallace, and we want you here.
Wire if you can, and come by the first
train. This is official, so don't wait
for divisional notification, which may
take days"
The letter reached Mark in one of
his periods of helpless despondency.
Impulsively he wired back, accepting,
regretted as soon as the message had
been dispatched, but packed his suit
case. turned over the command to the
senior lieutenant, and took the train
for Washington.
AS he went East the years seemed
to fall from him like a dream. 1t was
frozen labyrinth in which he seemed
to have been wandering; he seemed to
come to himself with a consciousness
of years wasted, but of years of action
ahead.
Colonel Howard gazed curiously at
him as he rose from his desk in the
war office and grasped his hands.
81 should never have known you,
Wallace. he said.
What he was thinking was, Good,
Lord, how The years have eaten into

of Standard Weights.

In wartime economy and efficiency
are the keynotes of poultry produc-
tion. The poultry keeper must save
feed and at the same time increase
poultry production. 1t is not the high
cost of feed alone, since America en-
tered the war, that has led to more
careful attention to the routine work
of keeping poultry and to greater pro-
duction and skill in feeding. The
saving of money has been an incentive,
but above and beyond that every poul-
try keeper realizes that getting better
production from less feed is doing
double duty in conservation and pro-
duction.
The first result Of the wartime con-
ditions was to emphasize afresh and
more effectively than ever the bene-
fits of graded selection of breeding
stock and severe culling of the young
stock while growing. When this is
practiced together with good poultry
management the feed bill is reduced
but the production of eggs is main
tanned and even increased in some
cases.

There was an informal, stand-up
supper about eleven. Eleanor came to
Mark and asked him to take her to
the buffet. Mark was conscious of Il
cOldneSS, or hurt resentment in the
girls manner, as if he had neglected
her.
He brought her plate and sat be-
side her in an alcove. They were alone,
measurably, for the first time that eve

Along come the hats of midwinter,
far in advance of its freezing blasts.
They provide about the only reason
for welcoming it in these days Of a
precarious coal supply, for as good
millinery they are certainly successful.
Fashion has set its tickle heart upon
fuzzy effects-long-nappe beavers,
furs, fur fabrics, felts, feathers, plush
es, angora wool and the like. Besides
there are velvets and feathers in the
familiar aspects in which we have
known them, and ostrich plumes as

The young woman who chooses to
favor the fuzzy styles may indicate
her taste with a small hat like that
one in the center of the group above.
It is turban with its coronet covered
with bits of feathers with f1ues un-
curled, set in three rows about 1t. The
top crown is an inconspicuous circu-
lar piece Of velvet that does not pre-
sumo to take up much space and
shrinks from attracting attention. 1t
Is almost covered by a big bow of
three loops made Of velvet, that is set
squarely over 1t. There are several
kinds of feathers that might be used
on the coronet and a hat very much
like it has its coronet covered with
tiny wings not larger than the wings
Of big butterfly.
Just below and at the right there Is

Mark nodded, trying to piece to-

Like so many of the garments made
for this winter, 1t looks like a com.

whether it Is an afternoon frock that

Such hens are in reality of the dual

size or breed. They are equally valu-
