Chance For Butter Makers.

There are numerous families in all
the larger towns of the South that
are regularly paying thirty-five cents
to forty cents per pound for Elgin
creamery butter and would willingly
pay the same price for butter OF equal
quality, delivered each week by the
farmers of the section. Many farm
ers over the State make contract
with merchant, hotel or private Gus
toner to furnish butter regularly each
week at about thirty cents per pound,
and when a farmer has to accept a
low price for his butter it is usually
on account of its inferior quality.

EGGS FOB HATcHING


The eggs that are to be placed in
the incubator or under the hen should
be gathered as soon as possible az
ter they are laid If they are allowed
to become chilled it is probable that

set the eggs the same day they are
laid, and during the time of collect
ing they should be stored in cellar
of about so degrees Fahrenheit. If
the air Of the room is very dry few
pans of water should be set in the
room, otherwise there will be rapid
evaporation from the eggs. About
two weeks is as long as it is safe
to keep them from setting, and in
sure good strong chicks, but the
fresher the eggs are that is, the
sooner they are placed under the hen
or in the incubator after being laid.
the better. The eggs should be turn
ed every day while in storage. Where
the hens are all running together,
only the very finest shaped eggs
should be used for incubating pur.
poses. Abnormally large eggs, under
sized eggs or those sharply pointed,
or any which do not appear normal,
should be discarded

The Tennis Champion Says
MAY SUTTON
Tells American Girls How To BE
Healthy and Graceful.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.


DON'T drink coffee.
Don't drink tea
Don't exercise too much.
These three donts constitute the
advice of Miss May Sutton, champion
woman tennis player Of the world, to
girls who would go in seriously and
Systematically for athletics.
Eat what you want.
Take long walks.
Get all the fresh air you can.
These are the three rules Miss SUIT
ton lays down for girls who desire
merely to be strong and healthy.
The little champion recently APP
peared on courts in San Francisco in
series Of exhibition matches. 1t
had been reported that she was not in
the best Of health, but she gave no in
dication of having gone back, play
ing her strong game that made her
worlds champion, with her same old
dash and accuracy.
At the close of the series Miss SUIT
ton was asked to tell what system of
training she had found most effective
and what. in her opinion, is the best
form Of exercise and diet for the ay-
erage American girl. Inpartshe said:
while I advocate hearty
eating, | cannot say too much
against the use of tea or coffee.
They are nerve destroyers and
no one can be healthy who
persists in their use.
TOO much exercise is as bad as too
little. Walking is the best exercise
there is. Early each morning, after
drinking glass of hot water, dressed
in loose clothing, / walk for nearly
an hour.
Athletics should receive some at
tention from every girl. If her time
precludes the playing Of tennis or golf
she should take long walks in the
open air, both before the morning
and evening meal, throwing the head
and shoulders back and taking long,
deep draughts of that which money
cannot buy but is in reach of the poor
as well as the rich-pure air.
Pure air and q moderate amount
of exercise cannot too strongly inn
press upon girls as being the only Sc
cret of health and grace. Medicine
for that out-of-sOrts feeling may cause
girls to imagine they feel all right,
but what they really need is more
fresh air and not quite so much sit
ting around the house in tight-ftting
clothes as great many of them do"

clans to be perfect athlete Tennis
