That the value of purebred males ‘counts as much in poultry raising as in stock raising is shown by the rec- ords of three flocks of Leghorns, the data for which have been supplied the United States department of agricul- ‘ture by the North Carolina experiment station. Flock 1, the egg production of which is included In these records, -consisted of common hens ; flock 2 was Purebred White Leghorn Cockerel. ‘produced by breeding these hens to common males; flock 3 was produced by breeding flock 1 to a rooster from - high-producing hen. The following year the original flock laid 89 eggs a hem ; flock 2 laid an average of 88 eggs 4 hen; and flock 3 laid an average of 136 eggs a hen. This increase of 54 per cent in one year tells very specifi- -cally the benefits of using a purebred male. But the percentages alone do not tell the whole story, for a big pro- pertion of the increase came at a sea- ‘som—May and June—when the produc- tion of flocks 1 and 2 was relatively low and the prices were good. PBULTRY CULLING PAYS WELL in One Demonstration in towa County 609 Hens Out of Flock of 1,548 Were Discarded. In poultry culling demonstrations ‘held on the farms of the farm bureau members in Emmet county, Iowa, rec- -ords kept for eleven flocks showed 609 hens were culled out of a total of 71,548 in the flocks, according to the United States department of agricul- ture. The average number of eggs laid a day by the entire flocks before -culling was 4015, and the average number of eggs laid a day by the 939 hens left after culling was 346.6. The average number of eggs for ten hens a day before culling was 2.6; after culling, 3.5. The average number of eggs laid a day by 363 of the culled hens which were not immediately sold was 144, ‘WASHING WILL INJURE EGGS Gelatinous Film of Shell That Keeps Out Air and Germs Is Removed— Keep Nests Clean. Eggs should not be washed as this removes the gelatinous film of the shell that keeps out air and germs. The nests should be kept clean so that the eggs will have no chance to become soiled, as removing dirt by washing wil allow molds and germs to enter she egg and hasten its spoiling.—Exten- sion Division, North Dakota Agricul- tural College.

No representation of the process existed on the monuments, nor does the nation appear to have attached any religious significance td the origin of fire. The question was settled by the discovery at Kahun of & regular bow drill for making fire, to- gether with several sticks showing the burnt holes caused by fire drilling.— National Geogranhic Society Bulletin, Vicarlous Courtship. Under the soclal ideals of China every man is anxious to marry, but no man is permitted to seek a wife for himself. The contract of marriage is always made by a third party, and often a man finds himself bound to an imbecile, insane or chronically dis- eased wife, whose father has paid the marriage broker a high price to get her a husband. 5 \ APPROPRIATE PLACE. “I heard the crowd roasting Baggs as such a bad football player.” “Well, a fellow might expect a roasting on the gridiron.” ARTIFICIAL FEET OF PAPER.

KOORS ICE CREAM SUPREME vou use ° Influenza “No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Charnberlain’s Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effets of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, 1 have never krnown a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.” o Qours o Mhatel = Quansy Chombirliis | i | e + IF YOU WANT TO RENT.
