He looks about Bim in amazement and wonders what is the ctiuse of all the merriment on the part of his audience. - He feels as if something bad been tied .to his coat tail, that his suspénders hang: ing down, or his necktie suddenly gone awry: Or he'gazes out into the sea of faces to discern anytl out of the ordinary. He acts as if he world like the pltiorm fo <sllapse and bury him. The writer has witnessed several refreshing examples of such breaks on the pari of unconscious. orators. A Toronto clergyman, who would dis- dain to mention' anything from the pulpit that would create a smile, be- ing very serious minded austere, was preaching one Sunday on a theme which was near and dear to his heart. His words were to young men. He strongly advised them to have a defi- nite purpose and plan in life, and to bend all their energies and concen- trate all their talents in that direc tion. A river could rise po higher than ite source, and it was so with the human stream called life. 'Set your mark high, young men," he dramati- cally exclaimed, "for remember if you aim at nothing you are sure to hit the mark every time, a I know from bitter experience of what I am speaking." An audible titter went through the pews, and it was fot un til the close of the sermon that the unedsy divine wondered what gave rise to the hilarity, when it was al explained to him by one of the ushers, he late Andrew Pattullo, of Wood- stock, a prominent newspaper pub- lisher in his day, and « former re- escntative os orth Oxted in he ntario islature durin: regime of Mr. Hardy. was & in the House one afternoon on the New On- tario policy of the Government, the wonderful development of that country and the type of people desired for its ; Je and prosperity.

The method of poultry feeding on | the average farm, if looked mio, would certainly surprise some of our careful poultry « breeders, says ag au- thority. Lhe farmers raise a certain crop of grain, either corn, wheal or oats, and whichever of these crops he happens 16 have in excess of his de- mand ior other classes of live stock, is the food which is uged for the flock of laying hems. Under these cir- cumstances, @s is often the case, ihe hens gét '#s their sole food corn, wheat or oats. In too many instances corn forme the sole ration ior the hens, and oats, especially in eastern conditions, Where very little wheat is grown, also forms the 'total foed used. 't hese" cond» ions clearly point eut the fact that many of our iarmets de not realize the importance of good feed- ting, going 'about it in a haphazard 'manner. expecting reasonable results from his flock.

"The eegg's the thing.' Shakespeare might have #aid, and undoubtedly the main (actor that people -connect with poultry-keeping is egg produc- ticn. Those who go in for poultry- keeping for profit should always be an the alert to improve their chances of increasing the output of eges, for when all is said and done it is from the eggs that the main source of revenue-is gained. It has been said that a gool ogg is a rarity--that is to say, wheh m ogg Is perfect in all the acoepted standards. It ought to be the aim of every poultry-keeper to produce large eggs attractive on the outside that when served will have a rich flavor with yolk and whi's of the al pear At the outset it shd>i'l pe the breed and sirain have a great deal to do with the size of the eggs. . For instance, some brexds of the Plymouth Rocks have ache cio re putation for the size of their eggs. But the Minorca lays the Hast egg both in quality and appearance of any breed.

Exer- cise also plays an important part in the size of the egg, for the hen who has roomy quarters is in Dbletter health than one that is cramped in a run. Often & supply of meat add- od to the daily ration will cause a pronounced increase in the size of the eggs. One point the! poultry-keeper should make an especia: note of, and that is to sort all. the irregular- shaped eggs to one side and ° sell them separately. The value of this advice will be sden when the fact is taken into consideration fhat a fow bad-looking eggs among a bas- ket of good ones will lower the mar- ket price of the whole consignment. Another thing, never wash eggs.
