The Fate of the Fancy Set.

James, aged seven, was promoted a
few weeks ago. In recognition of this
great event his father purchased for
him the following things that James
insisted were necessary:
A box of one dozen pencils, assorted
leads; one ink and one pencil eraser;
one pencil box with a marvellous roll
top; three copy books for home work,
two penholders, patent strap that
was a marvel of ingenuity, but some
how or other didn't seem to hold the
books very firmly.
The father examined the outfit a
few days ago and found that it con-
tanned:
One much-chewed lead pencil, fur.
nished by the city; scribbling pad
with few sheets on 1T; a tin fountain
pen that did not work and never could
have worked, and a skate strap to hold
the things together. r
The father asked no questions. He
instinctively knew what had become

Lambs should be locked within the
first week or ten days. Take a two
inch chisel, and II 1t is sharp rub the
edge on a stone until 1t is too dull to
cut wood readily. Then use a heavy
mallet and do the cutting on a smooth
block of wood. Have some slaked
lime handy and thrust the chisel In
this each time before using 1t. This
dull edge will crush the blood vessels
before 1t cuts them, consequently
there will be less blood lost and the
wounds will heal quickly without
trouble.
For the young pigs muscle and bone

protein pigs cannot build up the lean
meat or grow to any size. Protein is
found in skim milk. clover and alfalfa
Corn is nine-tenths carbohydrates;
oats have a little more protein than
corn, but not SUFFICIENT for the pig.
Rye contains a little more protein
than does corn. Barley is one of the
best feeds on the farm; 1t contains
more protein than does rye. In clover
and alfalfa there is a large bulk for
the required nutrients and pigs can
not get enough for maximum
growth.
Experiments conducted by the van-
Gus agricultural colleges of the coun-
try go to show that too warm quar-
tiers or overlooking is apt to weaken
the fertility of eggs. The way eggs
are handled or stored was also found
to affect the proportion which will
hatch, as will also the cond, lion under
which incubation occurs. The vigor
and character of the parent stock and
the length of time the male bird has
been with the flock are also important
questions as determined by the tests.
Fertility and hatchability are not
necessarily identical. An egg may
be fertile and still the germ does not
have suficient vitality to produce a
healthy chick under the ordinary con-
ditions of incubation. In a series Of
incubator experiments at the Rhode
Island station. of s.677 eggs tested, IS

NO WOMEN SINGERS.

Women will be banished from the

fact that the Sacred Congregation OF
Rites at Rome refuses to exempt the
churches of this country from the

which prohibits the use of women as
singers. In accordance with this de-
cision, which has just been announc-
ed, the women will leave the choirs
as soon as possible.

change until summer. Few OF the
female singers have written contracts.
They are engaged for the season,
however, and if thrown out of en-
