His personality engenders a feeling of admiration and affec- tion which permeates the spirit and sweetens the life of the whole Empire; and he concen- trates to one point patriotism of the nation and makes it in days of peace as well as in time of trial a force more powerful than any other: King George is a symbol to the people of their love of country and unity of purpose. If the feel- ings of His Majesty's subjects during the recent jubilee cele- brations were to be summed up in one word, that word would be For Britons every- "Love." where do heartily and sincerely, love their King, though British reserve may restrain them from easily using that word. They threw aside that reserve when King George seemed about to enter the Valley of the Shadow: then they were not ashamed of their tears. There is no call to analyse the sentiment; it is enough to know its reality. As one of the Empire's leading journals recently remarked, for twenty-five years the personality of a good man has more and more, enriched the office that he Alls. He is the idea and the symbol of Britain's national and Imperial being. So to-day, we again call to mind his services to his day and time, resting assured in the knowledge that His Majesty sits more firmly on the Throne than ever before, And we wish for him many years in which to continue the beneficent work he has begun and carried through with such honour and glory..

HOW ABOUT SOME FERTILE EGGS?

Mr. Chas. A. Cyphers, Proprietor, Buffalo Incubator Company,

15 Bradley Street,

Buffalo, New York Dear Sir:

I am a young man and just started raising chickens and am a bachelor and have set my No. 3 Cypher's incubator with 360 per- fect eggs and-it worked accurately and perfectly. At the end of the Incubating period nothing haf pened! I investigated and even- tually broke each and every one of the 300 eggs and found that all of them were perfectly clear and look- ed ready for the tablo.

What is the matter with your incubator? Write at once before I ruin 360 more eggs.
