what Is found In tho nows columns

cule or blamo by tho mero impassivo,
impersonal recital of his own action,
oven when ho cannot deny tho deed,
indignantly resents the publicity. Tho

power of fearless, conscientious Jour

will be made known has called a halt

A tromondous scandal which was

Tho waitress shrieked for.Kelp.
Horo is what tho hungry Mr. Rein

Please don't laugh. That's eggs
actly what ho ordered and that ls

(lly n. J. CROSHY)
To ascertain tho capacity of soils
to tnko In rainfall, break, tho bottoms
off flvo long-necked bottles, tlo a
pleco of cheesecloth or thin muslin
over tho mouth of each and arrange
them In a nick with a glass tumbtor
under each ono. Fill tho bottles to
about tho samo height with different
kinds of soil and firm the soils by
lifting tho rack and Jarring it down
moderately thrco or four times. To
break tho bottom off of a bottle illo
a groove in tho bottle parallel with
tho bottom. Heat a poker red-hot
nnd lay It In tho groove. As soon ns
a Bmall crack starts from tho groovo
draw tho poker around tho bottle and

keep tho surface of the soil covered
and note how long before it begins
dropping into the tumbler below.
Mako a record of the time. Do like
wise with each of tho othor bottles'
and compare results. Note which

all know what happens to nonporous
soils when a heavy shower of rain
comes.
To ascertain which soil would store
up tho greatest amount of molsturo,
weigh each bottle before and after
filling It with dry soil, and again after
tho water has entirely ceased drip
ping from It. The difference between
tho weight of tho dry soli and that

BRAHMAS AS EGG PRODUCERS
Veteran Poultry Judge and Breler
Claims That Hen Will Lay 150
During Course of Year.
Speaking of the Urahma type of
fowls, that veteran poultry Judgo &nd
widely known brcedor, Mr. I. K. Pelch
suys: u has been my claim, nnd It
can bo substantiated, that tho Urahma
will lay ieo eggs In a year, and batch
and renr a brood of chickens.
What one hen may have ilouo Is no
criterion of a flock's proficiency, not
withstanding one Urahma did lay 313
eggs in 333 days, but laid, no moro
that year, yet repeatedly havo flocks
of eight fowls laid between February
I and June 1, four montliB, an average
of S8, SSi, 8S, and during May laid
o total of 200 eggs, and average of 25
each for that month. I think there
are many Urahmas that have reached
200 eggs In a year as any other breed.
Hut 150 eggs and rear a -brood of
chickens places them among the best
and most profitable of all breeds. At
this writing I havo a hen that aver
aged SS eggs between February 1 and
Juno 1, that I set May 28. Sho hae
hatched and reared a brood of chick
ens and has laid 75 eggs in nine
months, leaving her three months for
the chance of becoming a 200-egg hen,
like ono of her ancestors, Queen
Quality. Hut breeders prize any hen
that hatches nnd renrs a brooJ of
chicks and gives you 150 eggs ns a
year's work. Such nre capable of iarn
ing you $10 piollt per annum if they
are thoroughbreds, and nearly tint as
utility workers in Natlck.
ileep strict account of the expense
of feeding if you want to know how
much profit they bring you. Tho aver
ago price for kitchen eggs, fresh, in
Natick for 1910 was 37 cents. Every
IGO-pgg hen at these prices earned,
ns you see, ?1.GD cash, less $1.2t for
keep, leaving $3.44 net profits per hen.
With the puro stock in Urahmas,
Plymouth Rocks nnd Orpingtons or
WyandotteB this is obtainable with in
telligent care. Thus are we Justtiied
in saying that poultry upon tho farm
is the best earning power In agriculture.

Ho was dead, but in tho spirit world'
ho lived over and over again tho ap
palling scenes and inclde'nts through
which ho had Just passed. It seemed
to him that ho must talk It ovor with
some one.
Ho therefore approached an elder
ly man and told him the story of how
ho died, giving a vivid word picture
and making a lurid talo. To his great
surprise, tho old man showed little
interest; in fact, ho appeared to be
bored. At last, being rather annoyed
at such Indifference, ho asked the
reason.
"Don't you know who I am?" asked
the other.
"Why, no, I don't," was tho answer,
"I'vo only Just arrived."
