Ex To Double Ejjj; Production. The American lieu lays eighty eeg a year. That is tho average. She ought to lay ouohundred and fifty a year. That is tho average She does. Those are thd figures and this tho decision ollicially declared by tho American Poul try Association, in annual sossion at Denver. If the hen would do as well as sho ought to, the production of wealth iu the United States would bo increased four hundred mill ion dollars a year. It is not the fault ot tho hen that she does on ly about half what she ought to do, but of her owner. Her com paratively meagre production is luo to the fact that she is not properly housed, fed and cared for. These are lacts winch the American Poultry Association is striving to impress upou every farmer aud poultry raiser. It used to be true, and perhaps is yet, that most farmers paid no attention to their hens except to give them feed aud a place to roost, until disease broke out among them, or their chicks, and then they let them die, because they did not know how to prevent it. The raising of chickens for tho market and for their eggs is a science that must be" mastered and practiced if the best results are to be obtained. It is a science that is being taught in the School of Agriculture at Stato College and at tho Pennsylvania Farmers' Institute and Movable Farm Schools. Tho valuo of it is not sufficiently appreciated by the general run of farmers. Tho of ficial declaration by tho American Poultry Association, mado up of experts, that with better caio the farmers could about double their profit from eggs, ought to make a deep impression on them. 1 he four hundred million dol lars annual increased production of wealth, estimated ' by the ex ocutivo committee of tho national organization would bo theirs, The Patriot. Water With Meals. The generally accepted theory is that it is not good to drink much water with meals for the reason that it dilutes the diges tive juices and renders them woakcr. This, however, is a mero assumption, and does not appear to bo borne out by the facts of actual experiments. Prof. P B. Hawk, physiological chemist of the University of Ilh nois, has been experimenting along this line and has satisfied himself that copious draughts of water during meals aid, rather than retard, digestion. In a rr cent report he gives tho results of one of his experiments. The subject was a man 22 years old He was "placed on normal and constant diet" for thlrteeu days analysis being made of his food before the experiment began Water was given sparingly at tirst, only half a ghss being al lowed at each meal breakfast, 7:."0; lunch, noon, and dinner 0:1."). The supply was increased, with beneficial effect, until the subject was drinking threo pints of water at each meal and his usual pint between breakfast and lunch, botweon lunch and dinner. and between dinner and bedtime, This mado six quarts of water a day. Every day tho subject was weighed betoro breakfast, and he gained steadily in weight aud healthy tissue. All his physical processes improved. Ho looked hotter and felt better as the days wore on, and it was found that tho bodily activities wero stimu ated so that separation and dis tribution of foods wore improved and tho system kept freo of toxic poisons. The effect was an in creased storaga capacity for nit rogen in tho body, and "the pro tern constituents of tho diet wero more economically utilizod durin tho period of extra water inges tion."
