by 100 the number Of eggs laid on the
average by the hens OF the United Staet.
Think what Missouri hens would add
TO the wealth OF the state by such pro-
ceeding. 1t is estimated that there are
more than 100,0O0,0OO less hens in
the world than before the war. At the
low average Of 100 eggs each this
means that this year the egg output Of
the world is 10000, 100000 eggs less
tbau it was five years ago. Perhaps We
can see in that some reason for the price
es we are paying. More hens and
better hens, the kind that lay 200 egg
a year on the average, is the need Of
the world, not less Missouri than other
states and nations.
This wonderful 304'egg hen has not
only broken the worlds record, but she
has helped upset theory Of breeds
Which has prevailed. We do not say
that the theory is completely demolish'
ed. It may work after a fashion still,
and those who hold it may continue TO
hold TO it despite the record. That is
the habit Of theorists. This theory is
that as mere egg layers the lighter
breeds Of fowls, like the Leghorn,, Mi
norcas, Black Spanish, etc., are more
profitable than the heavier breeds, be-
cause they lay more and eat less. We
have produced in the United States
special strains which are not so heavy
as the Brahmas, Shanghais and other
meat fowls, but are heavier than the SC.
called egg layers, and which also are
good layers. Chief among these are
the Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island;
and the WYandottes, It was one OF
these all-purpose breeds which broke
the record, q Rhode Island White.

How Pipe Reveals Character.

A new method of telling a mans
character is now advanced by William
e. CritchlOT, ninety, of Macon, Mo.
He culd:
"You can tell more about man By
the way he lights his pipe than you
can by the shape Of his head. There's
the fellow who strikes a match on the
south end Of his trousers, holds his
hands over the bowl until he gets II
going, throws down the match any old
place. and tllts his pipe up toward the
North Star. That man may burn down
his home and barn. but he'll never
lick his wife or children, because his
hearts right.
Crooks and bad men don't often
smoke pipes. They wouldn't be crooks
II they did, because there's something
about an old hickory pipe that inspires
a man to play fair with his neighbors."

Get Necessary knowIedoe.

Most Of life's great mistakes are due
to insufficient knowledge. In the early
days of the great war battles ragged
on the eastern front. There. are the
great lakes and marshes. Victory as

ais made 1t his program to lure his

which haa just finished its eighth an
nual egg laying contest, to which hens
from all over the country are sent. in
this contest there were sixty pens Of FIVE
hens each composing fifteen different
breeds. It is noticeable that among
the highest ten pens seven we're OF the
American general purpose breeds and
only three Of the special so-called egg
layers. The result OF this contest,
which is pereaps more pronounced in
favor ol the all'purpose breed as dis
tinguished from the single purpose
breed, whether that purpose be eggs
or meat, seems TO be proof that the
great majority Of American farmers are
on the right track when they choose
one Of the American breeds for their
flock and then build up the flock by
careful selection. No mungrel hen
ever laid 800, or even 200 eggs a
year. We ought TO have no room for

WEDDED IN SMOCk
Reason for SCanty Garb Of Some
0h-Time Brides.
In England II Was Held That Act Re-
lleved Husbands OF Debts Con.
traeted by His Bride Before
Their Marriage.

"a Bangor lawyer attending court IN
the ancient town OF Wiscasset, Lincoln
county. recently went rummaging in
the Colonial court records Of the place,
and In the course Of his reading came
across the official registration OF
smOck marriage" writes L. 7. Smyth
fror Bangor, Me-, to the Boston Tran.
script. Not knowing what smock
marriage was, the lawyer looked fur
ther, and got considerable light upon
n custom that prevailed in England
century or more ago and also TO some
extent In the American colonies,
"Smock marriages were weddings
where the bride appeared dressed In
white sheet or chemlse. The reason
for such garb was the belief that II
a man married woman who was in
debt he could be held liable for her
Indebtedness IL he received with her
any Of her property; and also, that II
a woman married a man who was In
debt, his creditors could not take her
property to satisfy their claims II he
had received nothing from her at mar.
riage. In England, says an antiquari.
an, there was at least une case where
bride was clothed in puris naturall-
bus while the ceremony was being per.
formed In the great church at Birming-
ham. The minister at first refused to
perform the ceremony. hut, finding
nothing In the rubric that would ex.
cuse him. he finally married the pair.
ITO carry out the law fully as the
people understood II, the ceremony
should always have been performed as
It was in the church at Birmingham, In
the case noted; but. modesty forbid
ding, various expedients were used TO
accomplish the end without the un-
pleasant features, Sometimes the
bride stood In n closet and put her
hanr through hole In the door; some
Zines she stood behind q cloth screen
ard put her hand out at one side;
egain, she wound about her a white
sheet furnished by the bridegroom, and
sometimes she stood In her chemise or
smock. Eventually. In Essex county,
at least all lmmodesty was avoided by
the groom furnishing all the clothes
worn by the bride, retaining the title
TO the same In himself. This he did
in the presence Of witnesses, that he
might be able TO prove the fact In case
he was sued for any debts she might
have contracted. A marriage OF this
kind occurred at Bradford In 1873. and

CROP PROSPECT GOOD
THROUGHOUT SECTION
FRUIT CROP IN GENERAL
WILL BE SHORT.
Peaches Plentiful in North
Georgia-Grapes Killed
by Frost.

Summarizing crop conditions from
local standpoint obtained from al
points of observation, the general
statement can be made that pros
poets for most crops now growing
are good The fruit crop in general
will be short including apples, pears
peaches and grapes. Peaches APP
peared to be plentiful in North Geor-
gia even after the frost, but for some
unaccountable reason the crop issnot
more than halfway up to expecta-
lions. No cause can be assigned for
1t. The only comment orchardists
make is that every year cannot be
a good fruit year.
Grapes were killed by the frost In
many sections. Where not killed
they are rotting on the vines. But
all cereal crops and all kinds Of hay
promise a. bumper yield.
Vegetables also are thriving in an
inordinate manner. The corn crop
was never more promising. In few
exceptional instances extremely low
lands along creeks have been mum
dated and the corn has been ruined.
But the river bottom lands loom up
as black as a crow and do not yet
show any sign of too much moisture.
Upland corn appears equally as
promising. Tile second crop of clo-
yer is already nearly as rank as the
first. From this crop the seed Is Sc
cured, or it can be used equally as
well for hay. Other hay crops, in
Guiding alfalfa, clay peas and soy
beans, never grew more luxuriantly
than this year.
From reports obtained from papers
and returning visitors the cotton
crop in this section Is more promis-
ing than in the choice cotton grow
ing delta of the Mississippi. There
too much rain has left cotton hidden
among grass and weeds, and farm
srs contemplate planting 1t in corn
even at this late day.
The farmers of this section seem
favored this year with |
prospects of big yields. With the |
nigh prices that are certain to be |
an air of prosperity is
'ure to surround our agricultural |
leighbors this fall.
