If any breeder has been able to build
up a family of grades or pure bloods
which have given each Is dozen eggs
the past year, there is no question but
he can sell all his eggs for Matching at
a fair price. The day Is not far distant
when the poultry breeder will base
merit on yearly production per head,
and it will bring returns. When the
day comes and a breeder can guaran-
tee that every hen kept has produced
$50 eggs in 1856 days and that the male
used for breeding was from equally as
good laying stock, the eggs will sell be
the hens red, white or blue. That this
production Is to come from the pure
bred families only demonstrates the
fact that breeders are alive to the util-
ity side of the question. 1t Is possible
to combine fine feathers and fine birds,
but the point we would make Is that
the fancy markings so necessary for
the preservation of the breed will be
placed second to production, just as II
is today with the producing herds of
cattle. This suggests the great impor-
lance of keeping a careful record of
the eggs produced, of measuring accu-
-ately the output of every hen. This
is good business for the business hen
man.-Maine Farmer.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

Five good citizens were sitting on
roof near one of the docks, enjoying
their cigars and the river breeze. They
all had more or less to do with marine
interests and the fact impressed itself
on their conversation. One related ex-
perlences from his single whaling ex-
petition, time and imagination having
added greatly to their original attrac-
ton. Another told the story of a phan-
tom ship, but did not vouch for 1t. A
third told a late sea serpent story that
he blamed on some newspapers, and
then Captain Blank acknowledged that
1t was up to him.

gan the captain, ''try all kinds Of

yellow body looked like that of a

"You had gone too long without sleep,

"Sea lion" laughed a third. Don't

lions still show decided preference
toward the drive, while others argue
that this is the least important part Of
the whole game. Arguing along these
lines, one expert stated that he rarely
drove a ball over 100 yards. and very
often considerably less. yet he was able
to point with pride to certain 8 and 18
hole records that had not been beaten.

everything with him depended on his

declared that when he was not driving
we'll it affected his whole game. The
supporters of the second shot were also
numerous They were Of the opinion
that this was the real test. and upon it
hinged to great extent the ultimate
success of the player. There were others
who did not hesitate to stand up for the
short game. maintaining that more
contests were won and lost on the put
ting green's than in any other way
They. of course. went upon the suppo-
sition that the players had made proper
use of their drives and second shots.

. BAD MANAGEMENT.
Some Common Reasons why some
Eggs Will Not Hatch.

Some of the poultry people are show
ing bad management that will yield a
crop of disappointments later on. Peo-
pie buy eggs every year that don't
hatch well. l shall give some of the
most common reasons APP to show

Another frequent cause of poor
matches is allowing too many hens to

up and allow him to eat from the buck

If the cockerel is neglected and al
lowed to become reduced In vitality,
large per cent Of the chicks will not be
able to get out of the shell, and many
others after they get out will not live
just die from lack of vital energy.
These are the ones that stand around
and peep and sleep till they die.
The terrible doctrine of heredity is
demonstrated in the feathered tribe as
we'll as in the human family.
Another prolific cause Of bad matches
is using immature pullets in the breed
ing pen. Many an ambitious breeder,
In order to increase his business over
last year and fill all orders, makes the
mistake of selling his early pullets and
using some In his own yards that are
too young. We don't like to return
checks and drafts, but we do 1t every
year Before ever there is sale made
the birds for our own yards are select
ed, and we wouldn't ship out any of
them for love or money, for what we
need ourselves we cannot afford to
sell.-Poultry Topics.

ButtermiIk From sk.mmiIk.

In late issue of Home and Farm q
number of inquiries were printed as to
the feasibility Of making good butter
milk out of separator skimmilk. AS
there seemed to be some doubt about 1t
in the minds of some Of our correspond
ents, to set that doubt at rest the De
Laval separator people have sent us the
following communication In regard to
inquiries about making buttermilk
from separator skimmilk: 1.-The usual
way of treating this skimmilk for MAX
ing buttermilk is to set the milk after
it is separated in can or vat and mix
with it what Ia called a starter, or, In
other words, small portion Of butter
milk. This has tendency to sour skim
milk. and this should stay in the can at
least "a hours. When the milk has
soured, put it in churn and churn it
for one-half an hour to an hour. BY
treating the milk in this way you will
have excellent success in making but
termilk. Your idea of mixing the but
termilk is correct, and the temperature
stated, 10 to so degrees, is about right.
We know Of great many that are
treating their milk in this way and are
having entire success with the butter
milk. =
