"What will Aunt Kate think'' says one fellow member from the substan? tial neighborhood of, Dials, ' when I fly in the face of her opinion and also that of the editor and boldly declare as regards compulsory education. I'm agin it!" I was taught by my father, that it was always the part of. wis dom to give to any one the right to his own opinion?howevor, diverse it wero to my own. Granting you that right (yet from my view point I can't see how that conclusion could be reached by one so intelligent and pa triotic as I believe you to be) I would respectfully ask you?why? Per haps, after giving the subject serious thought you would see how unstable your poeHlon was and like a wise one, "repent from tbe error of your way" and come over on the right side. A very cordial weloome awaits you. Three strong advocates for compul sory education?Hillside, Madden, Cross Hill?who else answers aye? Thank you, kind neighbor, who halls from Lisbon for words of appreciation from you. As it will be impossible for me to attend the great National Com Show, I am delighted to hear we are to be ably represented and I therefore delogate to you the pleasing duty, to give us, who are lesB for tunate than you, a report of this very interesting exposition. Its coming to the South 1b a fact that we should all be proud of a recognition that the South Is now considered "the New Corn Belt." While the educatlontal feature alone is worth the trip to any one, yet to mo, especially there 1b a personal Interest also. While, corn, of course is to be the especial feature yet there are to bo other interesting exhibits. That from Winthrop will In clude many specimens?from tho sew ing section, Sophomore Class, will be a modest little gingham dress, made by a little daughter of mine. When tho reports came at Christmas time the hearts of our little girls boat high with joy?they had passed. "What did you make in Agriculture"? queried I. "A double star" was the proud reply. "What did you- get In sewing?" asked I of the other, "A star" was the glad response. "Are you not anxious to hear what we made in the other studies?" they asked in astonishment. No, I'm so proud of your good report In sewing?that has been the bane of my life?you'll find that art to be the one thing needful when you face life in all seriousness?more than your Latin or French. "Did you make that waist you have on?" querried a minister's wife, as she met me in tho street one day in a distant city. "I'm storry to tell you, Mrs. A?" I replied, "I did not, that is one accomplishment that I sadly lack." "Con you cook?" I replied in the affirmative?"Oh!" she effusively responded, "how I do wish my hus band had married you!" Seeing my look of astonishment she explained: "You see, my dear, he is Just daffy over wives that can cook?I can't cook but I can sew. Isn't it strange that a man.though he has the choice of picking out his wife (you know Child, we have to take the ones we can get) don't pick out the one that can do the things they especially like? Nine times out of ten they pick out the one who can't and then find fault with her the balance of her life." "Oh dea!" and she heaved an exagerated sigh?"It does look like that Mr. A.? after he has lived with me as long as he has, would have found out by' now that I not only can't cook, but I never intend to!" and looking at the trim llttlo -woman?fashionable from the tip of her wellshod feet to the nob by hat on the snow white hair while the Are of youth flashed from the keen black eye. I did mentally agree that the dear old brother was pretty denseI For the future husband In South Carolina, the matter has been sim plified for a good all around wife thero Is only one query necessary, "Are you a graduate of Winthrop?" Now, don't all you girls think this a free advertisement for you! However, all the ones I know declare emphati cally they intend to be old maids! "If I live, and ever have the chance I intend to have you examined for tho hook worms, you little lazy Tascal!" Have you not heard a mother shreak thus to her young hopeful? Well, the chance is now here for the hookworm doctor will soon be with us. Serious ly, I don't know but what I'll go up. I never did like to work no-how! Aunt Kate. Madden, Jan. 15, 1913.

The current issue of Farm and Fire-side contains the result of two great egg laying contests. Cue was held at Siorrs, Conn., at the Oonnec. ticut Experiment Station, and 490 heue contested. The other was held at the Missouri State Poultry Exper iment Station, Mountain Grove, Mo., where 665 hens contested. Follow ing is an extract: "The champion laying hen in the Missouri contest was 'Lady Bhowyou', a White Plymouth Rock hailing from Illinois. This hen laid 281 eggs during the year. She lacked but one egg of equaling the best official rec ord made in this country, which was 282 eggs laid by a Barred Rook at eggs averaged a little over two oun ces each, a total weight of 35 pounds for her year's production. "Tho heaviest layer In the Connec ticut contest was a S, C. Rhode Island Red. She produeed 254 eggs which weighed 32 pounds. "There -were 41 hens in the Con necticut contest that laid over 200 oggs eaoh during the yoar, the aver ago of these high producers being 223 eggs por hen. One hen out of laid over 200 eggs. In the Missouri contest the average for the 59 hens laying over 200 eggs was 251 eggs per hen. "The 655 hens in the Missouri con test laid an average of 134 eggs per hen. The 490 in the Connecticut con test laid an average of 153 oggs per hen. The contesting hens came from nearly every section of the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mex ico, also several pens from Canada and one from England in the Conneo-> tlout contest. "The Austrlians are in advance of the breeders of this country in breed, ing for egg production. The leading pen in the Connecticut contest aver aged 214 eggs per hen, and in the Missouri contest 208 eggs per hen, but the leading pen in the Australian contest which recently closed, aver aged 250 eggs per hen. Also, in the gathered from 60 different breeders made an average of nearly 20? eggs per hen for the entire 300. But they have been conducting these contests in that country for ten years or longer, and the people have been educated to breed for egg production. The average fanm hen does not lay more than 80 eggs per year at pres ent. If we can raise the average to oven 150 or 160 eggs per hen, we can double or treble the profit in poultry to those engaged in the buis ness." TO THE PUBLIC.
