MARK TWAI?'S HOME.
Its Charm and Hospitality and the
Motto It Lived Up To.
Many frequenters have tried to ex-
press the charm of Mark: Twain's
household, Few Rave succeeded, for it
lay not in the house itself nor in its
firnishiugs, beautiful as these things
were, but in the personality of its oc-
cupants. the dally round Of their lives.
the atmosphere which they uneon•
sciously created. From its wide en•
truuce hail and tiny jewel-like con.
servutory below'' to the billiard room at
the top of the house it seemed perfect-
ly appointed, serenely ordered and toll
of welcome.
The home of one of the most un-
usual and nhaccouuteble personalities
in the world was filled with gentleness
and peace. It was Mrs. Clemens who
was chiefly responsible. She was no
longer the half timid, inexperienced
girl he had married. Association,
study and travel had brought her
knowledge and confidence. When the
great ones of the world came to visit
America's most picturesque literary
figure, she gave welcome to theneand
tilled her place at his side with suet)
sweet grace that those who came to
pay their duties to him often returned
to pay still greater devotion to his
companion.
William Dean Howells, so often a
visitor there, once said to the writer:
"Words cannot express airs. Clem•
ens -her fineness, her delicate, wonder-
ful tact." And again, "She was not
only a beautiful soul, but a woman of
singular intellectual power."
There were always visitors in the
Clemens home. Above the mantel. An
the library was written, "The orna-
ment of a house is the friends that
frequent it," and the Clemens home
never lacked of these ornatuents, and
they were of the world's best. , iNo dis-
tinguished person came to America
that did not pay a visit to Hartford
and Mark Twain. (generally it wus
not merely a call. but a stay 6f days.

PRODUCE MORE EGGS s
(By l+'. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry
Husbandman )
Canada wants eggs and more eggs.
Never were the prospects for a bigger
demand and better prices more promis-
ing than right now.
In spite of this, with the cost of grain
high and the prices tor poultry meat
good, the tendency will be for farmers
and poultrymen to sell stock that
should produce the high-priced eggs
this winter. The fear is that eggs can-
not be produced at a profit, but,
though a good price can be obtained for
the meat at present and high prices will
have to be paid for the feed, eggs will be
correspondingly high and eggs can be
produced at a profit even with the high
prices of grain, if proper conditions are
supplied.
ROOT AND FODDER CROPS
Ottawa, November 16, 1916. A
Bulletin issued by the Census and
Statistics Office to -day reports on the
yield, quality, and value of the root and
fodder crops of 1916, the acreage and
condition at October 31 of fall wheat
sown for 1917 and the progress of fall
poughing.
litter, feed a mixture of the grain rat-
ion morning end night, allowing the
hens sufficient grain 1(o that they will
always have some in life litter, but not
so much that they can get a crop full
without scratching for it. In the Prairie
Provinces, there is considerable shrunk-
en wheat available. Shrunken wheat
if it is dry is es good a poultry food as
wheat tit for milling purposes. Care
must be taken that it is not damp or
fled. Shrunken wheat
otherwise spo
alone, if there is no other grain, will
answer for the grain feed. For the
mash, use bran, middlings or chopped
oats. Elevator screenings, free from
black seeds, make a good feed for either
grain mash. If alfalfa or clover can be
had, by all means give the leaves to the
hens.
In Central Canada, Ontario and
Quebec, grain is scarce and it is likely
some will have to be purchased. If
there is feed wheat from the west
available, it should be used. Cracked
corn may be purchased and other farm
grains which may be on hand or pur-
chased locally, such as barley and buck-
wheat, might be used. Bran can be
used in mash feed and the good crop of
clover in Ontario and Quebec will do
much to cut down the cost of the ration.
The clover may he fed dry or steamed
and used in a mash.
In the Maritime Provinces where
grain is usually purchased for the
poultry. the same advice may be given
as that for central Canada not forget-
ting the clover and milk. If small
COST TO PRODUCE A DOZEN EGGS
Last winter at the Experimental
Farm a pen 100 pullets whose per cent
egg yield by months ranged from 5 per
cent in November to 50 per cent in
April, an average of 27 per cent for the
six months, produced eggs at a cost of
of 24 ets. per dozen. The percentage
of egg yield determines more than any-
thing else the cost of production, for in-
stance when the egg yield was 20 per
cent the cost was 21 cts. per dozen, and
at 40 per cent yield the cost was only
10)4 cts. per dozen.
This pen was selected as it was
thought to be equal in production to
an average farm flock, The average
dozen eggs sold for 20 ets, more than
the cost of feed required to produce it.
Each hen gave 99 cts. over cost of
feed in the six months, which, though
not large, shows that even at the high
price of feed, eggs can be produced
at a profit. The price paid for
grain were local Ottawa prices and
were high. The prices received for
the eggs was 44 cts. per dozen. This
was not as high as the local market
and no higher than many farmers ob-
tained during the same time. But the
farmer in addition might cut down
cost, for he has table scraps, milk and
other feed that may be used which were
not available here. To make a profit this
year, business methods must be adopted
and a few suggestions that may help
follow.
ROOT AND FODDER CROPS
The total area this year under root
and fodder crops, consisting of potatoes,
turnips, etc , hay and clover, alfalfa,
fodder corn and sugar beets amounts to
about8.980,000 acres, which is practically
the same as in 1915; but the total is
made up an increase •of about 100,000
acres under hay and clover. the total
area of .which is nearly 8 million acres,
and a decrease for each of the other
relatively smaller. crops. In total value,
at local prices, these crops amount for
1016 to 8249,882.t)00, as compared with
$229,508,000 for 1915. The yield of hay
and clover this year is the record one
of 14,799,000 tons, an average of 1.86
ton per acre, which is the highest yield
cn record for this crop in Canada. 'fhe
average value per ton is $11.50, as com-
pared with over $14 last year. Potatoes
are again upon the whole a poor crop,
this result being due to unfavourable
conditions in Quebec and Ontario,
where the average yield per acre is for
Quebec 131 bushels, as compared with
149 bushels last year and for Ontario
61 bushels, as compared with 92 bushels.
In the Maritime provinces the potato
yield is good, being 206 bushels per
acre for Prince Edward Island, 201
bushels per acre for Nova Scotia and
192 bushels per acre for New Bruns-
wick. The average price per bushel
fdr"potatoes is" 81 ' cents for Canada, 95
cents for Prince Edward Island, E9
cents for New Brunswick, 97 cents for
Quebec and $1.28 for Ontario. Fair
yields of potatoes are recorded for the
prairie provinces the averages being
between 170 and 177 bushels, with
prices of 92 and 93 cents per bushel in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and 84
cents in Alberta. In British Columbia
the average yield per acre is 189 bushels
and the price 70 cents per bushel. The
quality of the tubers is between 89 and
95 per cent. of the standard for the
Maritime provinces, over 90 per cent.
for Manitoba and Saskatchewan and 84
per cent. for Alberta and British
Columbia. For Quebec and Ontario
the quality is 76 and 77 per cent.
The Precious First Edition Quartos

Few literary prophecies have been so
strikingly fulfilled as that of the "newer
writer" who In the preface which fol-
lowed the revised title of the first edi-
tion of "'Troilus and Cresida'' tl!101h
predicted of Shakespeare that "when
he is gone and bis cummodies out of
sale you will scramble for them and
set tilt 0 new Luglish inquisition."
The number of first editions in quer•
to of Shakespeare's plays now known
to exist is 144, with two fragments. of
which eighty are in public ownership
and sixty-four in private ownership.

The authors of •'A Census of Shake-
speare's Plays In Quarto, 1:194-1709"
(Yale University Press t, Ilenrietta
Bartlett and Alfred Pollard. estimate
that most of Shakespeare's plays print-
ed in quarto received editions of 1,200
copies each. The wear and tear of the
centuries has thus disposed of many
thousands of these priceless books.
The total is much larger if we add the
quartos which appeared after the first
editions, but before the "e valorized"
folio editions of 1023, issued by Shake-
speare's colleagues of the theater. The
survivals alone of these intermediate
quartos number 301 copies, of which
144 are in public and 157 in private
ownership.

The original wireless signal of dis-

from the old "all stations" or general
call of line telegraphy. But at the first
international wireless congress it was
suggested aid approved that a better
call was "S 0 S,", which, by its ar-

ferent from any other call.
"S 0 S" has no special meaning. It
is not intended to express "Save our

In every case, grit and shell should
be before the layers at all times. In
some lacalities the grit can be secured
from the local gravel pit and in other
cases sufficient lime can be secured to
do without the commercial shell. If
neither of these is available they should
be procured and as much given to the
birds as they will eat.
It does not pay to stint the layers.
If they do not get the feed they will
not lay the eggs. As a rule, a laying

later and well fed, a bigger price will

FALL WHEAT AND FALL PLOUGHING.
Owing to the dry condition of the soil
in Ontario difficulties were experienced
in the ploughing and seeding of all
wheat. By October 31 only 656,500
acres were sown, as compared with
820,600 acres in 1915, a decrease of
164,100 acres, or 20 per cent. In Alberta
also there is a decrease of 36,500 acres,
or 14 per cent, viz, from 260,500 acres -
to 224,000 acres. For all Canada the
area estimated to be sown to fall wheat
is 899,300 acres as compared wite 1,100
800 acres, a decrease of 201,500 acres
or 18 per cent. The condition of fall
wheat on October 31 for all Canada is
76 per cent of the standard as compared
with 88 per cent last' year aed 97 per
cont in 1914. Of afire total land in Can-
ada intended for next year's crops 51
per cent is estimated to have been
ploughed by October 31, the percentage
proportions in the West being 47 for
Manitoba, 28 for Saskatchewan and 21
for Alberta.

HOUSING.
See that house into which the birds
go is suitabe. Have plenty of sunlight
and fresh air. Keep all draughts out
and be sure it is dry. See that the front
of the house, from eighteen to twenty
inches above the floor, has glass and
cotton, one third glass to two thirds
cotton. Make these windows so that
they can be opened opt every day if
desired. Shut up all Holes in every
part of the house that might cause a
draught. Double line the north side so
as to give the hens greater protection
while on roosts. If the house is inclined
to be damp, more ventilation helps. It
is. also a good plan to put in a straw
loft. If this cannot be arranged, because
of the nature of the roof, tack' slats
below the rafters then stuff straw in
between, See that the house is per-
fectly clean and free from mites, then
get the pullets in at once.
Do not overcrowd. Give an average
of five square feet of floor space to
each bird of the lighter or Leghorn
type. If there are to many pullets for
the avialable space cull out the poorer
ones. Fifty pullets with sufficient
accommodation will give more eggs
than sixty in crowded quarters.

FEEDING
The question of feed is the hardest
one to solve this year because practically
all feeds are high. It will pay, to feed
the pullets well from the start, though
the hens might be fed more lightly till
the middle of January. Where possible
use feeds grown on the farm. Good
wheat screenings, shrunken wheat,
barley, oats, or buckwheat, all make
suitable feed. Clover and milk cover a
multitude of feed and cut down the cost.
If these can be fed, animal foods such
as beefscrap maybe curtailed or dis-
pensed with. High-priced mashes may
be eliminated and cheaper ground feeds
such as bran substituted. Two or more
of the grains may be mixed in equal
proportions for the grain rations, The
mash may consist of ground barley and
oats, or bran may be added. If grain
has to be purchased cracked corn is as
cheap as anything and makes a suitable
addition to any grain ration. Bran is as
an bu
for the mash.
