The family acts as a unit under the father's guiding hand. But the newer idea is for the members of the family group to declare themselves as individuals. They vindicate individuality in the heart of our current collectivism. For, true enough, while there is much making for sociality :in our modern notions and institutions and customs, beneath oil is the rise of the individual: Our democracy is making individuals. The rise of the masses is the birth of men. And the rise of the women is the creation of women. All our movements for collective progress fundamentally are measures for the cultivation of the individual. All our swarming clubs, societies, and divers organizations are freeing the individual. They are giving him his liberty from the ancient group activity and providing him with a channel for expressing his uniqueness. They furnish different 'churches for the same family, different clubs for different ages, different social sets for twin sisters. Mothers of a generation ago lived in and for their families, none of whom, perhaps, had similar tastes to their own. Now they choose their own mutes in vlubs and classes of congenial temper.

After the eggs are gathered it is not necessary to trade them to the grocer for whatever he is disposed to give for them. Fresh eggs during the winter are In demand at god prices in a very large city; Indeed, many towns will use a small number at a premium over the price of "store eggs'--- or storage eggs. The producer of winter eggs can easily find a mar ket for his product at paying prices. SELF FEEDER FOR BEES. Inverted Fruit Can with a Cloth Tied Over the Mouth of Can. A very simple device for feeding 'Is shown herewith. tees on syrup Take an ordinary fruit can, fill It full of syrup and over the top lie a thick rag with a string. Then invert the can In a imall pan or dish, explains Farm and out Home. The syrup will seep through the rag around the edges of the Jar just fast enough for the bees to keep It cleaned up. Laying Age of Hens. According to Thomas I. Malrs of Pennsylvania, hens over two years of age are seldom good layers. Leghorns, Mlnorcns, etc., are sometimes good during the third and fourth years, but the Plymouth speaking generally Rocks and such fowls are of Utile or no use as layers after their second year; being much Inclined to become excessively fnt. For summer egg production the lighter breeds and later hatched pullets of the heavier breeds are best. A hen that has laid well all winter should not be expected to lay exceptionally well during the summer. All Grain Diet. diet of all grains Is the most which can bo fed. Green food will not only reduce the cost of feed, but will also keep the chickens In health. At least n third of the winter ration should consist of green food of some kind.
