LADY SHOWYOU
SOME EGG LAYEK.
Mndo Hcmnrkablo Showing nt Tills
IjayIiik Contest.
At tho Missouri notional egg lay
ing contest nt tho Missouri State
poultry experiment station, a whlto
Plymouth Hock lien, Lady Showyou,
seems to bo pretty much tho whole
show. In tho first ten months of tho
contest she laid 237 oggs, and atandB
a good chance to surpass tho world's
record for one year. This hen weighs
six pounds and has lnid flvo time's
her own weight in eggs In ton
months. By measuro sho has laid
almost a bushel of eggs. Sho has
consumed forty-eight pounds of dry
mash, thirty-two pounds of grain
and two pounds of grit, bono nnd
shell. This hen has not been broody
during tho year nor has sho molted.
It costs 'but little moro to feed
and house Lady Showyou than tho
ordinary hen, and If a farmer or
poultry breeder owned a Hock of
hens like her, his profits would bo
from six to ten times as great as
would bo tho case with ordinary
hens thnt average only eighty eggs
a year.
While Lady Showyou is tho ex
ception and not the rule, It Is possi-
i ble for every farmer and poultry
j man to improve his flock and In
1 crease his profits if ho will perslst
1 ently follow a system of selection.
Lady Showyou Is not n chance bird;
I some hens lay more eggs than oth-
ers and it was after years of breed
ing from hens that were selected for
i their heavy laying that a hen capable
lot producing 237 eggs in ten months
was bred. The practice of building
up a heavy laying strain by selection
may bo carried on in every poultry
yard just as effectually as at any ex
periment station, and no poultryman,
no matter how limited his opera
tions, can nfford to breed from a
hen about whose egg laying record
ho knows nothing.
In the Missouri contest there Is
one Hamburg, one singlo comb white
Leghorn, one rose comb black Mi
norca and flvo barred Plymouth
Rocks that have never laid an egg,
and there are several other breeds
that have laid less than half a dozen.
There was no selection of best lay
ers in tho flocks from which these
nonproducers were bred.

FAKM I'KOKITS AM) UUILL LIFE
A woman speaker at an Iowa rur
al conference uttered a significant
truth when sho stated that could
farmers be induced to spend as much
money in Improving conditions un
der which they live on tho farm as
they spend when they leave the farm
and move Into town, tho townward
trend of rural population would
cease and farm living conditions
would bo infinitely improved, says
Farm and Homo. The population of
the small middle western town is
largely made up of farmers and land
owners who have moved in to spend
their declining years at ease, or to
secure better educational and social
advantages for their families.
The retired farmer la frequently
an undeslrablo town citizen. He is
rarely satisfied with town life, is not
able to content himself with town
business and so divides his existence
in an uneasy sort of way between the
farm and his village homo without
being of marked benefit to either.
When he moves to town he is not ad
verse to spending ?10,000 or ?12,
000 in building a comfortable home,
with all tho conveniences and com
forts which modern invention has
made possible.
Could ho be induced to spend half
this In remodeling his farm house,
installing heating and light devices,
running water, labor saving machin
ery In the kitchen, and in improving
and beautifying conditions out of
doors, ho would securo infinitely bet
ter results. He would make farm
living conditions attractive rather
than repugnant to his family and
provide homo surroundings In which
he could spend a contented Tather
than a dissatisfied old ago. Best of
all ho would bo a better citizen bo
cause his policy would tend toward
tho upbuilding of country conditions.
Improved roads and tho automobile
have solved tho age-old problem of
farm isolation.
LA CICA WANN A EXGIXKKH FREED
Indictment Against William Schroc
der ts Dismissed.
Hornell, N. Y. Tho case of Wil
liam Schroeder, Indicted for man
slaughter In tho second degreo for
tho wreck of the Lackawanna pas
esnger train near Corning July 4,
which resulted In tho death of forty
passengers, was moved for trial last
Thursday.
E. C. Smith, district attorney, an
nounced that as ho did not have suf
ficient evidence to securo a convic
tion he wished to dismiss the indict
ment. Tho court granted tho request.
NEARLY ALL NEWSPAPERS
COMPLY WITH NEW LAW.
To date 23,500 publications of all
kinds havo complied with tho so
called "newspaper publicity law."
which requires thorn to fllo with tho
postmaster general and tho local
postmaster a statement of tholr
business organization and circula
tion. This Is eighty-three per cent of
tho total covered by tho act. It In
cludes 1,908 dally newspapers, or
seventy-six per cent, of tho entiro
number.
SOME RABBIT STORY.
This comes by tho way of Harrls
hurg, tho abiding place of truth and
statesmanship: " Whllo returning to
Millorstown from tho first day's hunt
Chas. A. Fisher, of North Fifteenth
street, was walking along tho road
with his friends. Ho saw a rabbit
running In tho woods besides tho
road. Fisher, who had an empty
gun, yelled In a loud voice: "Walt a
minute! Walt a minute!" Tho rabbit
stopped and looked at him till ho
loaded his gun and shot It, making
It tho tenth ono for the day."

ARE YOU LOOKING
MAKING HOME ATTRACTIVE.
Farmers Have the Materials For Beau
tifying Right at Hand.
Neat, conveniently arranged build
ings, n well kept lawn attractively
bordered with trees! nnd shrubs add
greatly to the appearance and value
of the farm and to tho happiness of
Its occupants, says a bulletin of tho
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station
on "PlRiinlng and Adorning the Home
stead." Tho farmstead, Including as It does
the general area occupied by the farm
buildings, house and lawn, Is the
center of activity for the farm. Its
planning and development, both from
rhotogrnph by Long Island agricultural
experiment station.
METTr APPROACH TO A PAIIMIIOUSR.
the standpoint of convenience and of
securing an attractive landscape effect,
deserve speclnl consideration.
A well thought out plan is the first
requisite to get these results, ns lu
the absence of a definite scheme seri
ous mistakes are likely to be made.
This plan should include the location
of buildings, drives, walks, trees,
shrubbery, and every other feature
which contributes cither to tho con
venience or ornamentation of the place.
It should be developed with the
larger relationships always In mind.
The locntlon of the house and farm
buildings Is the first consideration.
Even though It happens that some or
all of these are already on the ground,
a plan for their location Is important
New farm homes are erected to sup
plant old ones and other new farm
structures aro added, which make prac
ticable a general consideration of the
entire building scheme. Material Im
provement can often bo made in a
farmstead by a readjustment as new
buildings are put up, though the best
results are obtained where things are
planned right from the start
WONDERFUL FARMING.
Dr. Russell of Columbia uni
versity says tho Island of Guern
sey Is Just about the size of one
haif of a government township,
J six miles square, and very much
Z tho same shape If divided dlag-
onally, say, from tho northwest
corner to the southeast corner.
On this small territory 40,000
people and 0,000 cattle find sub-
slstence. There's farming for
you.
Hang Up the Scythe.
'It is undeslrablo to leave a scytho
lying about, yet It Is equally difficult
to find a suitable place to hang one.
To hang It on a nail Is to risk dulling
tho blade, whllo to hang it In tho
crotch of a tree Is detrimental to tho
tree's welfare. However, thero Is a
way. Obtain n V shaped crotch from
nn old limb, cutting one fork about a
foot in length and the other about six
inches. Tho rear sido of tho long fork
is then trimmed down slightly so that
It can bo nailod uprightly to a flat
surface. This will form a permanent
placo for tho scythe, whoro the blado
will not get dulled nor a fruit treo be
lnjurod. Farm and Fireside.
Around the Honey Makers.
Comb honey that Is to be sent to
a distant market should bo shipped
before cold weather, since the combs
become extremely fragllo when cold.
Change all falling or slow queens
promptly and breed from tho best you
can secure, thus raising the standard
of your stock step by step and Im
proving tho average year by year.
The young bees, hatched from Aug.
1 on, constitute the colony to bo
wintered, and for this reason it Is
wise to see that much brood Is ready,
oven If you have to rosort to stimu
lative feeding.
As a rule, bees cast a prlmo swarm
as soon as the first queen cell la sealed
unless prevented by bad weather; there
fore the first young queen may bo ex
pected to emerge on tho eighth day
from tho first swarm.
When the hive aro well distributed
In a certain space their Inmates caw
be more easily handled, It seems to
Improve their disposition, especially It
there are some treeo, shrubs or tho Ilk 8
about It Robbing Is not eo prevalent,
cither, and the absence of that always
helps to make bees better natured.
