Profeasor Keeps Hens Up Late to Make Them Lay I THACA. If. T.—Pullets dining tt nine o'clock every night nnd ontlayiug the roost seasoned hetis; electric or other light* In every coop, and better bssith for chickens are prediction* for the Immediate future In the poultry world by

Prof. James E. Rice of the

of poultry husbandry, CorrtsU uni-

versity. -

Professor HI"* Slates carried on at, Cornell di of the laying capacity of. h(-n* and pullets have proved that lights In chicken coops have a direct effect on the production of vgga. The coops were kept lighted ontfl nine o'clock every night, and the egg totals showed that 100 heu* and pulleta to the lighted chicken bouses produced 1SS n-10 doaens more eggs th*n the chickens that went to bed when tbs sun

went down.

In money, wholesale price*, the Increased dosen* of eggs In the lighted coop amounted to J71-b8. In each chicken bouse the 100 layers were 66 pulleunnd older hens and the pullets beat the seasoned layers lu number of eggs produced. The light bsd no other effect on the poultry except that they it better health.

The average Increase In production of eggs for hens In lighted coops Is placed at “one dosen or more" per year by Professor Rice. The poultrymsn ha* control over the egg production by turning the light switch. Laying pullets quit laying when the lights were turned off for a period and began

scaln when the lights went on.

Rio Grande “Kidnaps” Texas Farmer Into Mexico H IDALGO. TEX.—One of the most remarkable cases of “kidnaping" eve* known In the lower border region of Texas has come to tbe attention of j the United State* nnd Mexican authorities. Jose Cantu, a peaceful land owner 1

and valley farmer, who has lived all his life in Texas, was bodily transferred to Mexico by a recent rise In the B!o Grande. Along with him went 400 acres of his moat productive land

and many bead of live stock. Under past decisions of the Inter-

national boundary commlaaion tbe center of tbe bed of the Bio Grande l-s the dividing fine between the United States nnd Mexico. This shifting of the course of tbe erratic river places Mr. Cantu and much of his property on the Mexico side of the stream and. according to the Mexican authorities, he la now amenable to the law* and taxes of that country. Upon Mr. Cantu's transplanted farm are a number of home* of employees who were also American voters until the river changed its course. To further complicate matters, the Mexican customs authorities are Insisting that Mr. Oantn shall pay duty on his live stock and other property that has found its way to that country by no consent of his.

Oft-Told Tale of the Girl in the Country Town D ENVER.—Her father—numtionlnj: no name*—searched for her many months. He traced her here and knocked on tbe door of her room in a cheap hotel, calling out. “It’s dad, honey, come to take you home.'' He had com.- from the Pttle IU]- 4 nols town. One can visualize the town. The main street. Its fixed personnel— the little group In front of the grocery store. Interminably whittling, yawning —the drug store on the corner where pallid soda Is dispensed to the vlllag* beaux and their belles o' nights after the band concert down on the square; the post office, rendezvous of Mother Grundy and her sateitltes; the depot, where all the town goes for Its dally pleasure, seeing the drummer alight from the train, ot Banker Jones return from a business trip to the city, or the cheap burlesque buuch arrive to give a golden Interpretation of Life at

the op'ry house.

The trtr! was satisfied there until site went to the big city to visit her sister, who married well. Then came discontent. No doubt the dally contrast —tbe monotony of the village routine against memory's background of bright lights surging crowds, shifting scenes—spelled unrest for her. 8he perhaps wna braver Hum thousands of her sisters Id like surroundings. In all tbs towns of the Mad sent tend over the country. She finally bolted. She sought Ufe She U dying now, victim of poison, self-administered. She has dnmk the cup to Its dreg*.

With Esllef In One’s Lock to Bs "Just Ahead" the Buffets of Fats Are Things at Which to Laugh. The typical prospector for gold, -till met with In the far hills and deserts, may well be taken by all men as *n example and an Inspiration a* far a* the blessings of staying hopes are concerned, says ih# Los Angel e*

Times.

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." sirs the proverb. But It Is not a good proverb. No matter now long deferred s hope may be It should never be abandoned. It should never be anything but an Inspiration and nn incitement Take this nomadic tribe of prospector*. for Instance. The typical prospector Is a man who he* speat perbrpa the most of his life pursuing a hope that has never been realized. Yet we never find them discouraged. Ws never know them to end their day* in despair. No matter how many their yean of failure may be they will tell you that Just beyond the next chain of Ullls or in the heart of a still unexplored desert the treasures they seek are surely awaiting them. A most sincere and persistent man Is tbe prospector. He believes in his quest and respects It The llttle'or the much that he wins by spasmodii toll he Invests In his dreams. He braves the solitudes and the lonely wastes of tbe world to reach the goal for which he strives. Hunger, thirst and other hardships and sufferings he endures with a willing heart. And he never despairs. That's the glory of the prospector—he never de-

spairs.

The average man. hedged In by the traditions of towns and cities or settled In the humdrum of the country, looks upOn the prospector as a que-r nnd somewhat demented Individual. We laugh at tbU strange fellow who Is pictured to us as plodding along In the wlidernemes anu the sandy tiesolatioas with his pack and his burro, following the will-o'-l.ie-wisps of forllut the prospector Is only doing la bis way what we are doing In oars. We sr * following each our own dream as '.he prospector Is following his. Hie only difference Is that we proj cetv' in safety and without adventure, otherwise we are the same as the wanderer of the desert and the hills. And also we are soon discouraged and we are cosy prey to defeat, while It Is death alone that can defeat the pros-

pector.

Tt seems to ns that of all the misfortunes there are in life—and heaves knows there are many—the misfire tune of hopelenneiw Is the worst. “Only for hope tbe hesn would die," said a poet. It was a true thing to

say.

And about this wonderful thing of hope there is another way to look at tt and that Is that we should always have at least one hope ahead. That Is to say, we should always have something that we look forward to. Thee, If a hat we have In hand falls us, the other thing that we look forward to will star us. Hope U something to be busy with. It In something of which we should accumulate n store. Always have plenty of hopes and have theta so that they will ranch out nnd last away Into the years of the future. There is really something mysterious about a hope, if you will cherish It falthful'y and keep It warm In your heart yon will be almost sure to some time realise It. It is said that we are what wv believe ourselves to be. Bur perhaps we might better say that are what our hope* are. Since, then a long-cherished hope Is roost likely to be realised, aurel' were foolish of ns to harbor hopes that will not bring tta comfort and Joy. Hope for the best three is—not great riche*, not any material possession, but peace for the heart anu a at path fur the white years of old
