I suppose there is hardly any per-
son engaged in the raising of any
kind of poultry that does not at some
time during the year Gull out and dis
pose of the worst specimens in his
flock with the idea of securing a bet
ter average grade of birds. Especially
at the beginning of winter or late IN
the fall is attention given to this mat
ter, as almost every one is anxious to
get the flock in best possible shape
for winter egg production However,
too lax methods in culling are gener-
ally used and too many of the amateur
poultrymen and farmer poultrymen dc
not have a clear enough conception OF
what they are trying to produce.
Most poultrymen will no doubt cul!
with the idea of securing uniform
flock of hens in regards to color and
size, which is certainly the correct
idea, but there are several other
points of equal Importance to which
it might be we'll to call attention. My
idea is to give the first attention to
the constitution, to the health and Wig
or of the younger birds as to which
mature quickest and hustle most
and in the older birds notice closely
which come through mott the best
and soonest. Those birds that seem
most forward and vigorous are gen.
orally safe to keep. on the other
hand however do not tie to those spe-
cimens which seem to be grown
or are abnormally developed, for they
will be in some cases more Of a dis
appointment than the others. 1t is the
average size we are after, the birds of
standard weight and shape. Have
YOUR ideal well in mind as to the exact
thing you wish to produce and do all
your culling with the idea of leaving
only those which come closest 20 this.
In the question. of shape, it is fact
that if one breeds from the heaviest
and most persistent of layers, the
birds of that strain have a tendency
to lengthen out in body. The infer
ence from this is, that it is we'll in

His friends, and the bishop of Ber-
gen, tried to dissuade him in his plan,
and only his wife, Gertrude Egede,
was in sympathy with the enterprise.
He pushed the matter of the trading
company with such good arguments
that Frederick ". king Of Denmark,
took up the matter, and empowered
Hans Egede to sail for tidings of the
lost colony, promising that ships
with supplies should follow him.
He sailed on the ship Good Hope
July 8, 1921, with his wife and two
sons, and landed safely on the west
coast of Greenland, at Baals river.
They worked their way to the north,
trying to get traces of the early col
ony, and awaited with Impotence the
arrival of the relief ship from Den
mark. 1t was after discOuragements
of every sort that they reached Kan
zee, and Hans Egede and his followers
were urged to return to civilization.
But the fever of enthusiasm was
not cooled even by the awful cold, and
Hans decided to remain, although
many of his party had died from the
cruel climate. He and his family lived
with the Eskimos in their huts, and
after they learned to speak the native
tongue they heard the fate of the first
colonists.
Hans Egede made a journey with
party of natives to valley on the east
coast, where he found the ruins OF
Norwegian homes, churches and public
buildings.
The entire community had perished
and nothing remained. After long pc
riod with the natives, Egede returned
to Copenhagen.

Senior Quesada. resigned. Gen. Garcia
was appointed by President Gomez dur
ing the latter part of February, and the
Department of State was officially ad-
vised of the appointment. subject to its
acceptability to the United States gov
ernment. No action was taken in the
matter by the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and an effort was made
to induce the present administration to
reject the appointment on the ground
that Gen. Garcia had antagonzed the
United States government and its admin
istration of Cuban affairs
The announcement made at the State
Department today indicates that Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Knox have no
objections to make to the appointment
of Gen. Garcia. and that the Cuban gov
.ernment has been so advised. Cen
Garcia Is the son of the Cuban patriot
of that name, and has been himself prom
inently identified with Cuban affairs.

FOR NEW 100000 BUILDING.
Plans for Proposed Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing Completed.

The general plans of the new two
million-dollar building for the bureau of
engraving and printing have been COM
pleted. and the supervising architect of
the Treasury and the director Of the bu-
reau are now going over the details of
the interior plans with view to COM
pleting all the preliminary arrangements
in the near future. While no definite
estimate can be made now of the time
when actual work will begin it is prob
able that ground will be broken late in
the coming summer and that when the
frost falls the foundation will have been
laid.
The delay thus far has been caused
by the desire on the part of the Treas
ury officials to have Director Ralph
pass on all the details in order that
when final decision on the plans is
reached the work may be pressed for
ward rapidly. without being held up by
minor changes during its progress.

 s'This means for the North American Indian the abolition of the tribal re- lation, the substitution of personal for tribal property, the recognition of the Indians right to travel freely and peaceably and to buy and sell in the open market and his ultimate admis- sion to American citizenship.
 Tt means for the Philippines open ing for him the American market as it has opened to the Hawiian and Por- to Rican.

It means the maintenance of local self-government among the all-North American Indians, native races of Alaska, Porto Ricans, Hawai- ians and Filipinos-the vigorous pros ecution and condign punishment of all men engaged in lawless endeavors to deprive the people of their public or private property, the stablishment by law of efficient police regulations to safeguard the people against the vices Of civilization, adequate systems of education for their mental and moral development and the improvement of their mentality by providing indus trial training and developing their re- sources and providing easy access to profitable markets

SUFFRAGE CAUSE
 VITAL QUESTION
Special from United Pressa

Special from United Press.l
 Meriden, Oct. 22.-The fortieth an- nual convention of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Association was held here today. Mrs. Elizabeth D.. Bacon, the president, reviewed the progress of. the equal suffrage move ment in this country. es The cause has assumed such proportions it is coming to be recognized the world over as a vital question of the day, Mrs. Bacon decls red.
 The more tirfiid are becoming less afraid to espouse the unpopular cause. The converts are not confined to any class of people. The press never be fore gave such space to articles on the question The gospel of equal lors and halls, on the streets, in fairs and at summer meetings through many ingenious methods never resort ed to before. Thus the attention of the reople has been aroused until there is greater number of women realiz- ing the importance of franchising un- der a government founded upon un- divided representation.
 4 n"Conservatism meets us on every side in Connecticut. making conditions Unfavorable to reform; hence the cause has not become so strong as in States around us, yet we have reason to con graduate ourselves that with the linn ited number of workers considera ble seed sowing has been, accomplished though the. harvest may not be in sight. Hard labor is needed to be- come a power in the State.''
 Four new clubs have been organized three in New Haven. Hartford and Meriden. Undoubtedly there is a great deal of sentiment in the State for equal suffrage but it exists. here and there without organization"
 Mrs. Ella B. Kendrick of Hartford. the corresponding secretary, pointed out that the rast year has been one of encoura cement for the advocates of wonan's suffrage. The present mem hership is $50 and it proposed that this meeting found the Susan B. Anth- onv Club to take in members of the State Association who now reside in towns which have no auxiliary clubs.
