They are ie - liable breeders from whom hatching eggs can be obtained, and. who, 'whatever may be the opinion of the 3)1rer-111.)er, give him full value for the money receive ed. The difficulty, however, in this re- spect in this particular department of the country trade is that opinirns Cil - ler widely ae to money. There are some customers whom et is impossible to kat- isfy, as every experienced poultry breed. er who sells hatching eggs knows. Let us consider for a moment what the purchaser can really expect from a eetting of eggs. First, to deal with the percentage of chicks hatched, one must consider that eggs which travel by rail do not nor can they be expected to hatch as. well in every case as the home product. Anything over 50 per , cent. from travelled eggs is good, although in the majority of cases it is much high- er. But this View is not shared by the average egg buyer, as nearly are dissat- isfied unless they have a chick from every egg -a result impossible even at home„ unless an exceptional case, and it is no unusual thing for a breeder to receive the eggs for replacement from a client who has got 30 chickens out of a possible 12 or 15. The task of sat- isfying such modern Shylocks is at best a difficult one. It should be remembered that a breeder can do no more than take reasonable precautions taainsure iertility and offer to replace any ur ile eggs. If the purchaser keeps the eggs a Week or two -while seeking for a brood hen; if the hen sits carelessly and allows the eggs to chill, or if she.forsakes her nest, the purchas- er should not, although in numerous in- stances he does s expect the breeder to supply aeother Fatting; and, similarly, where artilicial methods are used, the eees are often blamed. When the machine or operator is the real cause of blame there are 101 acei- dents which may happen between the dispatch of the eggs and tho hatching the chicks, over none of which the seller has any control. With regard to the quality of the birds reared from par- ehaeed settings of eggs, again thene A a fertile source of dissatisfaction usitere A big price, whieh includes anyteieg from $10 to $20. is paid for a seatieg, P I/ NS AVO!

The price now is based on just this element of chance, Again, the purchaser should consider that to purchase a male fit to head the pen would cost $23 up; females, $10 up. In eetting of eggs the purchaser receives eggs laid by fowls .worth possibly $50 up. for the males, and $25 itp for the fe. males, all line bred for either the show- room or for great egg produetion, and pays for the blood and expert mating ability of the breeder. Does it pay? Yes. ,A commercial plant was started some years ago by a well known poultry ex- pert. He purchaeed eggs from a breed' ed who had a line -bred flock of egg producers for 17 years.

To have purchased enough of tilts breeder's famous birds would have cost a vast sum; in feet, it.would have been impossible for the purchaser to buy the best breeders that-thie expert had in his breeding pens. The cheapest way was to purehase eggs, costing at the time $20 for 100 eggs in thousand lots. Did it pay? The results say yes. .441.

It was concluded that contagious udder diseases /night be spread by the . use of a dirty milking machine, the cups not being kept clean, but with a clettn machine might not be so likely to spread the disease as the hands of the milker. A diseased. cow should not be ,milked with e, milking type. It was found that sOlue types of milking machine were in- Jurious to the cow, because of the pre - settee of a metal ring At the top of the cup and because a continual pressure was exceted, causing a congestion. Ata - chines witli intermittent action Would not cause any congestion, It was con- cluded that there was no injury if the Milking machines were of the right type, wt re not used on diseased cows and were kept clean.

NEW STYLE IN COIFFURES. (By Julie Bottomley.) There are so many coiffures that no one style nifty be designie.c1 as more fashionable than the others; but with all this variety, there are certain points of singularity in the new modeof dress- ing the hair. Thus, the middle and the side part aro both worn, the hair may be dressed at the top or middle of the crown, or acroes the back of the head, but in any ease it will be so arranged ,fts to cover the ears. In nearly every in- stance it is waved before dressing, and the greater number of coiffures of all descriptions show the hair rather closely pinned and. conforming to the =Lour of the head. Coils and braids are more popular than puffs, short curls are much in evidenee, and, whatever arrangement of the trews is decided upon, the effect to strive for is that of good grooming. Glossy, smooth braids, regular waves, 1,vel1-made puffs and earls carefully ar- ranged, insure this effect. There is it departure from the very simple coils across the back of the head and the middle part which have been so universally worn. The aimple and demure Ityle es are bewitching, if the wearer is gifted with a pretty face, and a graceful neck and throat. But with- out these attributes it is more Satis- factory to elaborate the eoiffure; there- fore the return of the full soft 'itraid, bound about the head, the Psyche Oil- fure and the small pompadour. A, light curved fringe across the forehead oearing with increasing frequeney.
