How closely is the prosperity of a
community related to the proportion
of well-bred live stock in it? Fire.
quently it is asserted that purebred
and highgrade herds and 1ocks are
the result of wealth rather than the
cause of it. In it's effort to throw
light on this question the United
States Department of Agriculture has
been especially interested in a survey
conducted in Tioga county, New York,
as part of the program Of work of
the farm bureau, which believes In
purebreds as a contributing factor in
farm prosperity.
According to data furnished the de-

Mysterious Stove.

At recent electrical exposition a
mystic stove" attracted no little at
tention. This idea is by no means
new; in fact, in one of it's most spec
tacular forms it consists of kettle
of water boiling on a cake of ice. The
solution Of such mysteries is powerful
magnetic induction, which causes the
generation of powerful electric current
in the pot, pan or kettle. The layman
is, of course, greatly mystifed, since
water can be boiled, eggs fried, and so
on, with no visible source of heat.
The hand can be passed over the tap
estry-covered table without feeling any
trace of heat.-Scientific American.

TOO MANY POULTRY LoAFERs
Best Plan to Weed Out Nonproducers
and Keep Only Good Laying and
Breeding Fowls.

One reason some folks complain that
chickens don't pay" is because they
compel one or two good hens to sup
port dozen lazy ones. There are
some deadbeats in every flock, Just as
there are also some excellent Iaying
and breeding hens.
The thing to do is always to weed
out the least desirable fowls, then keep
only the best ones and keep them well
in good house, well managed and
cared for.

Absorbent Material for Floor.

During the winter season, some kind
of absorbent material should be used
on the floors of the poultry house and
under the roosts. This deodorizes the
droppings and also makes it easier to
