That the weight o f eggs may in- dicste the sex oi chickens, under certain conditions. is suggested by experiments reported to the French Academy of Sciences. Noticing the

an ounce to a little less than an ounce. This made it appear that the difference might also exist in the egg. Muny trials showed that the eggs of Leghorns weighed from 1,9 to 2.5 ounces, the average being 2.2 ounces; and in the spring of 1918 sixty eggs, selected on account olf their size, were placed ill _an in- cubator for hatching. The select- ed eggs weighed between-Kl oun- ccg and 2.5 ounces, seven being slightly below the average whilt the others exceeded it. The chicks hatched numbered forty-eight oi which thirty-seven were males and

Thc throwing off of fragments, some- rlmes several years after the minr has been opened,‘ begins suddenly and unexpectedly, when work is

He caje shuffling iutn n drug store on his cane "which an- uounced his entrance as he painful- ly labored to a chair. This rnan told the old sad story of a fortune wasted in “docroring" and "cures", trying to regain health. Arfter only three days‘ treatment, this same man came back’ a different man. 5e was able to walk unaided for the first time in, more than a year. Hi8 cycs spoke the gratitude his ionguc could not express. For the past week this man hos been work- lug in his store. He was able to scrulb the floor unaided. l-le does not need his cane any more, his step in walking is almost brisk. .-\t the rate of his remarkable im- provement this man should be en- tirely well wit-bin a short time. lirs name and address will be given to any one interested on application This ls only one of many dreaded ailments which have yielded to Phosphonol.

After l tagged him l took him to the door and threw him out- this same old gander that had been telling his boys and girls to eat the corn and to stay there and not be afraid. when l threw the gander out, did he fly to the lake? To know the Canada goose is to love him forever. You cannot show me any of his actions that one need be ashamed of. nor one.

We caught him the second time, put a cuff on each leg and named him "Sir John Moore" and we put on the tag this verse of scripture: "No good thing w-lll l-ie withold from them that walk up- rightly,"
