In an experiment to test the loss
of moisture in incubator eggs the
West Virginia station found that the
larger quantity of moisture than did
the larger eggs. This is as it should
be, as the relative surface on the larger
eggs is less than on the smaller eggs.
The result should be that the moisture
content of the large eggs should be
more constant than in the small eggs
and in some seasons this should give
Matching results in favor of the large
eggs.
For a good many years now the ad-
visers of amateurs in poultry raising
have been advising to feed the young
chicks on hard boiled eggs chopped
fire. Now some of the poultrymen
are declaring that the practice is not
good one, and that the hard boiled
eggs are too hard on the young chicks.
We would like to have the opinions
of some of our readers on this point.
If chopped hard-boiled eggs are bad
for young chicks we should know it,
as the practice of feeding such is evil
dently very widespread.
One poultryman says that he finds
it advantageous to have two sets of
drinking vessels. using one one day
and the other the next. BY this
means one set is summed and aired in
the off day. He thinks he keeps down
disease germs by this method With
out doubt drinking vessels so handled
will be free from slime and other
things that may foster the develop
mGnt of disease germs.

Creamery improvements

The creamery building is being
enlarged and improved in sub
stantial manner. n fine cement
floor has taken the place of the
wooden floor in the main room,
and this room enlarged and also
made more comfortable with a
higher ceiling, and good drainage
facilities, and tile draining laid
from the building to the creek,
with sewer traps along it's length.
The facilities will also be fitted
with new patent cream ripener
which will avoid the use of ice in
direct contact with the cream.
The engine room has been en-
larged to 22x2O feet, for the ac-
com mmodatiOn of larger boiler
to be placed later. The storage
room has been considerably in
creased in size, so that it will
hold a carload of salt and a car
load of tubs, supplies that can be
purchased cheaper in carload
quantities. The main room is to
be walled with fir ceiling and the
weigh room extended on the
south end. When the new i'm
prOvements are all completed
the creamery will have a capacity
of turning out 1000 los. of butter
a day.
The excellent prices received
for butter should prove a stimu.
lus to dairy interests in which
many of our farmers are becom.
ing each year more deeply in

County School Teachers
From May School Messenger.

FROM may SCnOOl messenger.
H. A. Lathrop closed his term
in Osceola No. 2, ana has taken
the school in Mazeppa No 1.
Harriet Mccarthy, of the Big
Stone City schools, will do duty
in the Ortonville schools next
year.
Ida Fink, of the Big Stone
City schools, has secured posi-.
tion in Latah, Washington, and
will make her future home there
after next September, for the
present at least. We regret her
departure.
1t is worthy of note that
teachers as a rule are a busy
class. There is a false feeling
on the part of many people that
the schoolteacher has an un-
usually easy time. The teachers
that are doing successful work
all have to put in many hours of
toll that the average patron
knows nothing of.
Luella Cunningham has the
record of having one of the most
handsomely decorated school
houses in the county. How
would it be if the school officers
took a little more interest in the
matter of schoolroom decoration?
1t is usually all left to the teach
er, and from the conditions in
many places it is no easy matter
to make neat, attractive room.
In spite of the argument of a
few people who know nothing
about the matter except as they
guess at it, there are several
more districts looking toward
free text books for the coming
fall. AS a result of Mr. Fonder' S
paper and the discussion that
followed, there will be a third of
the schools with free text books
when the schools open in the fall.
This is a good move.

May Ladies' Home journal

From it's charming cover by Albert
Herter to it's last page the May issue
of the Ladies' Home Journal excels
in all ways. The most important new
feature is the beginning of Ernest
Seton's department for boys, which is
written and illustrated by the famous
turalist-author- artist. Lindsay Den
ison, who knows President Roosevelt
in very personal way, writes Of the
"Outdoor President" and Helen
Keller. continues the marvellous story
of her life. The fiction features are
Miss Porter's "Those days in Old
Virginia, and the first part of
delightful story by Grace S. Rich
mond called ''The Indifference of
Juliet.' Neltje Blanchan tells ''How
the Birds Build Their Nests,' and
Will Bradley shows the boudoir Of
"The Bradley House." Mr.. Bok's
editorial is fine bit of sarcasm aim
ed at the wise New Workers, and Mr..
Mabie in his literary talk deals with
the reading habit and several new
books and writer's of note. There's
no end of good and helpful advice and
interesting facts in the various depart
ments, and the illustrations are con-
spicuously attractive. By the Curtis

For Boys to Think About.

1t is easier to avoid forming a bad
habit than it is to break away from a
bad habit.
It is easier to avoid beginning to
tamper with tobacco and strong
drink than it is to free yourself from
the appetite if it be once acquired.
The dollar you earn and spend is
only a dollar; the dollar you earn
and save is two dollars.
He who makes it his rule always
to earn his dollar before he spends
it will never be a beggar or a slave
to debt.
Your being a poor boy may make
it harder for you to rise than if you
were rich, but when well up once it
will be all the easier for you to hold
your place.
Poverty may keep a boy down for
a time, but if he has in him the true
metal he will rise. Jay Gould was
a pCVerty-strlcken surveyor. George
W. Childs was a booksellers Grand
boy at a salary of four dollars a
month. John Wanamaker started
business on a salary of one dollar
and twenty-five cents a week. An
drew Carnegie began life on a weekly
salary of three dollars. Abraham
Lincoln was a m~iserably poor farm
er's son. Andrew Johnson was a

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE


Come and watch the merry little
leaves at play;
Jolly times they're having this No
vember day.
Down they gently futter like the
fakes of snow,
Chasing one another, flying to and
fro.
Don't tell me they're only driven by
the wind;
I'm sure they're doing just as they've
a mind.
See those two go racing swiftly down
the street,
Reds ahead, now yellow; which,
think you, will beat?
Some have gone in swimming down
in yonder nook;
See that host of bathers diving in
the brook.
There a crowd has gathered in an
eager talk;
Now they're widely scattered all
along the walk.
So they gayly frolic through the
sunny hours
Careless of the winter with it's icy
showers;
But the cold is coming and the snow
drifts deep;
When their p1ay-times's over quietly
they'll sleep.
Selected.
