Mr. Reynolds spent his entire life, since he was 16 years old, in the railroad business. He began as a telegraph operator on what is now known as the St. Louis division of the Big l Four railroad.

GAM F.ETRIGG RCaiSTERJ Q0CKTOKD. eassesponxHec SOLICITED Coprriht.' 1909. by American Preas Al elation. . This matter must not be printed without special- permission. TOO MANY BAD EGGS. The egg and chicken business of the country during 1908 amounted to about $650,000,000, making it one of the most Important Items of farm revenue. But for many years past there has been an enormous loss, though small in any individual case, as a result of the Inferior quality of eggs which were put on the market With the purpose of finding out just what these losses were due to the bureau of animal husbandry of tbe agricultural department at Washington has the past year made a study of the problem and in a bulletin recently published gives a summary of its findings, which should be read carefully by1 every cbtcken raiser in the country. The investigator, Mr. Hastings, finds that of tbe -eggs produced in the country In 190S there was a loss of 17 per cent between nest and table, itemized as follows: Dirty eggs, 2 per cent; breakage, 2 per cent; chick development or heated eggs, 5 per cent; rotten eggs, 2.5 per cent; shrunken or held eggs, 5 per cent; moldy or bad flavored, .5 per cent. Tbe loss from chick development seems to be the chief source of loss, especially in tbe south and west, where it amounts to 25 or 30 per cent during the heated season. To prevent this Mr. Hastings asserts that a campaign of education is necessary which will make every farmer's wife realise that when eggs are left in damp nests under broody hens or in hot kitchens there is a loss in quality which In the end means a money loss to herself and her neighbors, while a system of buying eggs should be adopted which will give each producer full value for Just what his eggs are worth. The rule should be infallible to market eggs as soon as possible after they are laid. The greatest handicap In the egg trade Is found to be the practice followed In the general store of bartering merchandise for eggs, in which transaction the merchant reckons his profit on goods as more than his loss on eggs. Under this arrangement he is unable or does not try to enforce improvement upon his patrons by buying on a quality basis, and so long as he does not and strictly fresh eggs fetch no more than stale the seller has no incentive to exercise care aside from bis own conscience. SPRING WITHOUT FLOWERS. Many a home would be brighter and happier were there a larger recognition of the claims of religion and this given demonstration in attendance at the neighborhood church in at least one Sabbath service. There is in ns all at best a good deal of the barbarian. and this tendency, coupled with con tinual occupation with things material, which so often vex and degrade, and tend to obscure our perception of higher things that are really - most worth while, makes it well nigh im perative that we should avail our selves of such religious Influence ss we can If we would live, the best life we may. Not only , does religion give quality and meaning to the humdrum, everyday life, but it means much In the special crises of life when a new life is ushered in, when new homes are established, when the curly head of a little child bathed in the fragrance of flowers or the toll worn hands of a faithful parent are laid to rest in "tbe low green tent." In such hours it gives hope of a life to be where we may clasp again the hands of those who leave us here and where there shall be no more sorrow or crying. Material Interests are well and gepd, but nngraced by a wholesome religious Influence they are as a day without sunlight or a springtime without flowers. WORTH LOOKING , INTO. The very heavy fire losses from lightning which have been sustained by scores of farmers during the recent spring storms sheold lead to a consideration of tbe protection which would be secured by equipping tbe building with scientifically constructed lightning rods and conductors.: It is true that when the lightning rod craze was on thirty or more years ago a good many unsuspecting folk got loaded up with twice or three times ss msny rods as they needed and Improperly grounded to boot, which were In reality a greater source of danger than protection. Many had their stomachs still further soured by having to pay outrageous prices for this shoddy work or having notes which they gave turn op for amounts greatly In excess of the. price agreed upon. But this era has passed, and there are today reputable lightning rod firms which will guarantee to rod buildings properly. This fact Is recognized by many insurance companies which quote s much lower rate to farmers whose buKdings are thus protected against lightning damage. In any event It Is a proposition which farmers who own big red bans on open prairies should look into. n&ulrhematm Is aoouTtte only excuse that the right kind of father wm offer for not playing one old cat with those boys of his. It is about an a grass widower of sixty can do to keep his head level with a daaiitug jmaag spouse of twenty-two. but when on top of this he buys a $2,100 automobile he Is m for grief a-plenty.

II ii It wltT Be a great aid to (hem "In keeping rid of lice and mites. Some overclean and particular mothers seem to forget that It Is better to have a little dirt and disorder in sitting room and parlor than to bare their boys spending most of their spare hours in the haymow and back alley. When a fellow gets bold of a type of religion that loosens up his pocketbook, makes him pay his honest debts and provide as his means allow comforts and advantages for those dependent on him. it goes without saying that It is practical and of the right kind. - Butter records, like some other laurels, don't seem to stay long in one place. To illustrate, the blue ribbon for the largest butter production for seven days was captured a short time ago by Grace Fayne II.'s Homestead, owned by H. A. Moyer of Syracuse, N. Y., her performance being 28.44 pounds of butter fat. equivalent to 35.5 pounds of butter. Is a matter of observation that residents in sections where prairie wolves abound are not so concerned over tbe depredations which tbey may commit, but that they almost invariably spare the old wolves so that tbey may raise a batch of little ones next season for the bounty tbey will fetch. If the bounty was done away with entirely the spirit of the law would be better observed. Life on the average farm would be a good deal lighter for those engaged In household and field work If a really serious attempt were made to limit tbe working day to ten hours. In rush seasons, with help scarce, it Is wen nigh Impossible to do this, but whenever It can be done It should be. Folks who work hard ten hours a day get old and rich fast enough without stretching the treadmill operations to fifteen or sixteen hours. - The. agricultural stand patter may be defined as the fellow who persists In following old methods when a newer method will give better results with the same or a less expenditure of time and money. I The scandalous soli robbery which is still going on in msny sections,' the failure to grow on the farm the crops which will give best returns and the failure to get the maximum value out of tbe crops that are raised may be accepted as Indisputable evidence that tbe class of agriculture stand patters Is all too large. America Is not only carrying moral light into the dark places of tbe earth, but agriculturally Is doing a similar beneficent work. Among other evidences of this may be cited the fact that within the past few weeks tbe czar of Russia has offered L. B. Clore of Franklin, Ind., the boss corn raiser of tbe country, $4,000 a year for three years and all expenses to go to that country and show the peasant farmers how to -raise American corn. ; If the czar only knew what this corn raising business does In making a people economically and politically Independent he might well have some misgivings about tbe wisdom of this his latest Innovstlon. Investigations which have recently been made by Uncle Sam's biological survey as to the bill of fare of the kingbird have brought out the Interesting and remarkable fact that, while he does now and then eat bees. It Is the drones and not the workers which are his victims. When this announcement waa first made beekeepers were wont to consider it as a pretty good joke, but their curiosity led them to make some Investigations for themselves, and tbey found the department specialists were correct. Not only did the kingbird not attack workers, but he devoured many varieties of injurious winged Insects, while his hostility to marauding crows and hawks is a point to his credit, which is a matter of everyday ebservatiesu No longer are corncobs doomed to perform a menial service ss penny pipes and kindling wood only, as a firm st Council Bluffs, la has by accident discovered that when crashed and properly prepared corncobs are an Invaluable aid la the puriflentiao of gas In city gas plants.

While natural disposition counts for a good deal, the usefulness and reliability of tbe mature horse depend very largely upon the handling and care which are given tbe green colt.

Since tbe greater part of the shell Is lime, materials should be supplied the flock of poultry which will furnish this element, Air slaked lime and fresh ground bone will serve this purpose.
