(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The growing pullet is a creature of habit, thoroughly addicted to regular- ity and vigorously opposed to disturb- ance and unusual commotion. It is essential for the good of the flock in its entirety that the pullets should grow and improve like clockwork, from the time of hatching to maturity. Laying 18 often retarded by seemingly trivial disturbances, such as moving the fowl from place to place and changing the makeup of the ration. In order to insure early eggs see to it that the growth of the pullets is aot retarded in any manner whatever. most without exception the pullet ose growth from hatching to ma- turity has been regular, not subject to checks and interruptions, is an early layer. In support of the state- ment that checked growth results in retarded laying, comes the fact that May-hatched pullets often lay earlier than others which were hatched in April but retarded in the early stages of thelr growth by unfavorable weather. Retardation by weather conditions, however, is only one of many factors which may stunt the nor- mal growth of a pullet and defer her entrance to the laying class. As a rule, egg production begins at or before the cessation of the pullet's physical growth and development of the reproductive organs. Generally, influences which hinder growth also operate to delay egg production for eeveral months. Any disturbance af- fecting the habits, quarters or com- fort of the pullet at any stage of her life may retard laying. Shifting the birds from place to place and abrupt changes in the diet often disturb the fowl enough to retard laying. In fact, poultry fanciers who desire to keep pullets ing condition for exhibition often use this means of keeping them from laying. On the average, pullets about to begin kaying are more sen- sitive to disturbances than at any eth- A Flock of Well-Developed Pullets Ready to Begin Laying. er stage of their growth, and there- fore require greater care in handling, but disturbances retarding the growth even of small chicks are likely to post- pone the beginning of egg production. It is imperative that every pouliry keeper exercise the maximum of cau- tion from the time the chicks sare +hatched until the pullets attain ma- turity, so that the fowl will make reg- ular growth and not be subjected to any factors which will stunt or divert the propes development of the birds. The alphabet of proper management of the pullets emphasizes such factors as correct nourishment, constitution, exercise, and cleanliness. Given the proper care and surroundings, the early-hatched chick will develop into a profitable, early and persistent pro- ducer of eggs. This is the goal to- ward which every poultryman should work. ; — YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH When Brooded by Hens They Remain Under Mothers Nearly All the Time for Three Days. Prepared by the United States Depart- ¢ me’nt of Agriculture.) B The first requirement of young chicks is warmth—a temperature com- fortable for them. Chicks hatch in a temperature of 102 degrees to 105 de- grees F. When brooded by hens they remain under the mothers nearly all the time for two or three days. Chicks shipped in small boxes are kept warm hy the heat of their bodies so long as the boxes are not exposed to near- freezing temperatures, but this natural heat is not sufficient when they are glven more liberty. There is one clear-cut, sharply defined issue before the gl people. France faced the same question recently and returned a decisive answer. That question is: Shall we maintain our government with a fundamental respect for law, order and regular procedure, or shall we attempt to achieve social progress by the direct method of destruc- tion and violence? The sound commeon sense of America can be trusted. It is only necessary seriously to raise this question, to discover that America, like France, will make an emphatic and unmistakably clear answer. The tragedy in Centralia, Washington, on Armistice Day clarified the atmosphere. Those veterans did not die in vain. While we must condemn vigorously any individual or group that takes the law in its own hands, we must not, for one instant, fail to remember who is primarily responsible for this situation. Every American knows that serious evils exist, that injustice must be opposed. that every form of wrong must be righted, but he is also determined that in the process American institutions shall be pro- tected and - American ideals shall be honored. The radical today is our worst reactionary. He seems to have forgotten that centuries ago the human race learned that law and order are superior to lawlessness and chaos. The time has come when every true American must make it perfectly clear where he stands on this issue. The whole world is disturbed.

An English woman, writing from Kovno, tells of the introduction of Anglo-American parlor games into Lithuania. She says: “A children’s party was attended by English and Americans, includ- ing a woman doctor from the United States, and lots of our Lithuanian friends. The latter joined in our absurd games of ‘blind man’s bluff, ‘nuts in May,’ etc., but were much amused and astonished to see my husband and an American officer fighting and cheating most horribly over the last chair in ‘musical chairs” They like and admire us very much, but wonder if we are not a little mad.” Poorly Trainea.

Our grand- mother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, uses only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so _evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small sirand at a time. By mourn the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darken- ing the hair after a few applica- tions, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
