Winter eggs are the result of geed housing, variety in feeding, proper care, and selected females. A good poultry house is one that affords plenty of ventilation without drafts. The fowls must be protected, especially at night, while on the roost. Fresh air never killed poultry, .but 4/feks in walls and leaky roofs have often done so. There must be ample room in the house so that the hens have opportunity to scratch and exer- cise. Comfortable, busy hens never worry to get outdoors during cold, blustery weather. They are content- ed indoors—and contented, happy hens are the ones that lay during cold weather. , Eggs are the' product of _feed. We must supply the proper feed or there will be no eggs.

Sornatimes there are, specks or dark lines before the eyes, ired in.certain Cases there is multiple Or double vi- sion, esreciallywhen the patient looks at a small ,bright point, such as a star or a distant light. When the cataract is moderately advanced, it can be seen as a whitish background when,, you look through the pupil of the sufferer's eye. The Physician diagnoses it with greater accuracy by means of the ophthalmos- cope and by examining it through .a lens by lateral illumination. Oculists distinguish various forms of cataract according to the part of the lene or its capsule that is affected; but these' distinctions.. are of little interest ex- cept to the physician. From time to time some remedy Is said to have been found that will cause a cataract to clear up without an opdatioa, but node of the medical methods of curing. it has thus far stood the test of time, and.the treat- ment therefore is surgical. The vision in cases of cataract has been restored in three ways: by couching, or turning the lens over on its side, so as to get it out of Che line of vision; by discission or needling— breaking up the substance of the lens and securing its absorption; and by extraction. At the present time extraction is the usual .operation when the sufferer is advanced in years; but needling .maa be used to cure so-called soft cataracts that oc- cur in the young. Formerly great stress was laid upon the importance of waiting until the cataract was ripe, or fully developed,' before operating., but now many oculists advise re- moving it earlier, which spares bhp. patient a long peeled of waiting with steadily clecreasiieg vision. Apples cored and baked with raisins in the cores are delicious. Cataract. A cataract is an opaque condition of thesrystalline lens of the eye, that part through which all the rays of light entering the pupil must pass to be focused on the retina at the back of the eyeball. The name comes from the Greek word meaning a trapdoor or portcullis, something let down from above, as the ancients thought Good Roads, Good Markets; Good Profits Farming is essentially 'dependent on the condition of country roads; for whatever is not produced cin the farm must be hauled to the farm, and many erops of 'the farm must be hauled away to. the railroad stations and lo- cal markets. Farmers sooner or later learn the d'asirability of diversified farming. Perhaps -no cause limits farrniag of this description so much as bad roads, for the arime requisite for success- ful diversified farming is a good mar- kel. This market may be either a nearby town or a city, or a distant market which requires, railroad trans- portation. It is a well-established fact that market prices for even staple crops vary..-coneiderably thrbughout tho year. Where bad roads prevail, farm- ers areVrequently unable to avail themselves of favorable prices. It is common for formers to find that they can not haul their produce to market when prices are highest, because the roads are impassable. When the roads become passable the time for market has largely passed and produce is compelled to move in masses whiell frequently glut the market and break the prices. Fluctuations in market prices may have several explanations.. They fre- quently take place in regions where the local production does not equal the annual consemption. There are counties rich in agriculturar possibil- ities, burdened with bad roads, where the annual Incoming ' shipment/ of foodstuffs exceed the outgoing ship- ments..M the ratio of four .to one. Many sueh counties with improved roads could' not only become self-sup- porting, but could ship products to other market/. When the roads of tliC great pro- ducing zones of this country are im- proved, benefits will accrue not only; to producers, but to consumers. When marketing is distributed throughout the year, storage chargea must de- cline. This country is Paying at pre- sent large storage prices on food- stuffs.

The presence of poor roads will prove a hindrance to the tmon- .omic consolidation of these smaller schools into a large, strong, graded schobl with high school conrses, superintended by a competent body of teaphers. In distridts where consolidated schools are established, there is a marked tendency for the school to beeimie the social and intellectual centre of the community. Most of these modern rural schoolhouses are so constructed that they may serve the community as gathering places for public meetings of various kinds. The school wagons are frequently pies -sea into service te, haul farmers and farmer t wives to grange meet- ings, lectures, musicales, 'entertain- ments, short courses or institute work at the school. order that the people may receive the full benefit of their schools, the buildings must he readily accessible by means of good roads throughout the year. Nothing contributes so much to the efficiency of the rural man setvice as good roads. Easentiel factors in the value of rural delivery as a postal facility are speed and•regularity, and the attainment of a satisfactory stan- dard in these particulars in absolute- ly dependent on bnproved roads. All social, activity ie dependent upon the gathering of people for some common puapose, It Is not dif- ficult, therefore, to see the eonnee- tion between desirable social .concli- tions and the improvement of public roads. Social institutions, such as schools, churches, and public amuse- ments are more or less subject to valuation in any community, but they are by no means the complete mea - stn..° of social conditions in that tom- munity. Those subtle and delicately adjusted relations which obtain in any neighborhood are equally depend- ent in the community upon road con- ditions.
