Poultry Business 40 Viewed BY. .
Scientist of the Government.
That the egg. industry. affords al ex-
eellent. opportunity for Investment is
the. opinion of Professor Milo M. Has
tings, scientific assistant animal hus-
bandry Office Of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. The best es-
Inmates available indicate that the In
come from poultry products is one of
the four or five most important sources
of the agricultural wealth Of the ma
ton. The proof of this statement is
to the fact that the price
of eggs for the last ten or twelve years
has. shown not only an absolute rise,
but a relative rise. when compared
with the general average of values Of
either farm crops or food products.
One of the principal requirements
generally considered is the degree of
freshness. The rule. however, is sonnet
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1909-09-10

If you want to keep young, think
youth. Don't admit to yourself for
one moment that you are growing old.
Don't get into the habit of saying that
you can't do this or that because I
am not so young as l used to be-"
Keep your mind open. Be receptive
to new ideas. welcoming every fresh
experience as eagerly and enthusias-
tically rs you used to do when you
were a boy or a girl.
Call up again the radiant. dreams of
youth-the glowing. golden visions
that dazzled your imagination in the
days when you were first setting out
on life's pilgrimage. Tell yourself con
stantly that the ideals, the fond hopes
and aspirations of those early days
will still he realized. Never give way
to pessimism. Always see the silver
and gold in every cloud.
Take life earnestly. but not too Sc
riously. When difficulties arise face
them TRANQUILITY and courageously,
with a strong confidence that you can
overcome them. Remember that con
fidence is one Of the great earmarks,
the distinguishing characteristics, Of
youth and that the man who loses
confidence in himself speedily leaves
his youth far behind him and not only
hastens but actually creates an I'M
happy, premature old age.

Improving the Nilitis.

The seasons military doings, includ.
ing sham war. rife range work and
summer camps, disclose a desire on
the part of the rank and file for prac-
teal work. The fever of militarism
is not widespread. but it takes hold
hard where it makes Roadway at all.
There is no reason to criticise this
state Of things in the main. Perhaps,
however, it would be we'll If there
were more young men smitten with
militarism and fewer ambitious for
place in a crack corps. -
The state militia, or national guard,
by taking federal support and accept
ing federal regulation feels in duty
bound to train up to the standard OF
the regular army. Practically the ideal
of today is to have the expert military
knowledge and skill of the country
limited to about 100000 Of the sew
eral millions Of a%blebodied men in the
country. 1t is to be hoped that 200.:-
600 soldiers will always be equal to
any military emergency forced upon
Us. Still, it may be unwise to leave.
too wide a gap between this elite corps
and the great mass of young men who

Shop Teaching In Schools.

Shop Teaching In Schools.
The recent new departure of the
trades unions with respect to recruit
ing the ranks of beginners in mechan-
ical work is noteworthy. Public school
education has long been criticised in
various quarters as being top heavy.
Parents proud of the achievements OF
their hopefuls in school work never
theless confess with chagrin that they
would like mor horse n and less
book teaching in the brains of their
children. The unions unite their voice
with that of certain specialists in edu-
cation and say that. there should be
more Of the shop and less of the
lyceum atmosphere in the common
school house.
Some Of the best scholars Of the
land cribbed their book learning Off
the workshop bench, 80 to speak. Why
cannot the school pupil be half me-
chanic and half scholar as well as all
scholar? As it is now the average
schoolboy is much NOR Of a hindrance
than a help when. put into a work
shop. But the casual helper Of q one
horse mechanic, whom poverty has
robbed Of half his school hours and
especially Of overtime studies, has
something Of the shop or at least the
tool and machine habit in him and
takes hold at once. The average boy
is glad to put by lessons when school
IL over. But give him an idea in me
chanics to chew on and he'll rig up q
little shop at home to work It out,
perhaps to become the Edison Of q
mechanical revolution.
