No Sex in Eqqs.

There is no possible way Of determ-
lining the sex of eggs. An eminent
poultry authority Says that the best
way to determine whether an egg con-
tains rooster or pullet is to hatch
and watch the chick grow for about
four months. If the chick crows, it
is rooster. 1t lays an egg, it is
pullet The American breeder in
years past has been inclined to worry
himself to an unnecessary degree in an
effort to determine method of con-
trolling or determining the sex of the
unborn. This is matter entirely too
delicate and too mysterious to be
handled by man, and he will probably
never know any more about such
things than he knows now-Farmers

PRESENT VIEWS OF ROOSEVELT

Opinions Of the recent message OF
President Roosevelt range ali the way
from that Of one democratic enthusi-
asst. who compares him to Frederick
the Great to those of others who
hear in his utterances the tones of
dictator or the ramb lings of one whose
emotions 'un away with his judg-
ment But the sane middle ground
of opinion sticks to the main fact
that the evils that the president stig-
matizes and the class of men whom
he holds UP TO public opprobrium con-
stitute the grayest problem of the
country. Mere questions of manner
and method, of much or little force in
presenting views, become, in the
Judgment of the student of natural
conditions, secondary to the heart of
the matter that the president reveals,
One of the London papers fifty eX-
pressed the idea in saying that Pres
ident Roosevelt is arousing the Unit
ed states to a proper sense of its re-
sponsibi'ities abroad and at home.
There is nothing of the trucker
about the president; there is moth
ing of the man of mere expediency.
Nor. upon the other hand, does he
permit mere theories to have much
weight in fashioning his judgments.
The faculty of seeing clearly into a
situation and at the same time dis
ceEning the need to meet it leads TO
a n assertiveness and seeming pride
OF opinion that startles those VIM have
not similar faculties or opportunities
for using them The opinions in the
presidents party vary as to the wis
dom and advisability of his methods
but not at all as to the sincerity and
service of the man
Efforts TO deract from the work OF
the administration in view of the ire
mendous awakening of public ,opin
ion upon economical and industrial
subjects are puerile. The policies o
President Roosevelt are republican
policies They are the outgrowth o
the conditions that have come abou
