ANSWER:
The length of time that you can
keep eggs safely for Matching de-
ponds altogether upon the weather
conditions, and also the temperature
they are kept in. don't think it is
advisable to keep eggs more than
three weeks under ordinary circum-
stances for Matching. They should be
turned twice each week and should
stand on the ends. The longer you
keep an egg, the less chance it has
to hatch. Fresh-laid eggs hatch much
quicker and better than old eggs.
About one week to ten days is as
long as 1t is advisable to keep eggs
before setting, to get the best results
from them.

these. After eating. he stands up and

to remedy the above trouble.

ANSWER.
Your Black Orpington evidently has
some throat affection. or is troubled
with indigestion-but most likely the
trouble is with his throat. Give him,
twice each day, large lump of vase
line. BY placing your finger in the
vaseline bottle, you can usually take
a lump large enough for dose and
put it in his mouth and let him swal-
low il naturally. Some castor oil,
mixed with plain corn meal dough,
twice each day, would answer the
same purpose. 1t would be best to
take all feeds away from him except
wheat that had been aampened, and

ANSWER.

You should feed your chickens well,
just what they will eat clean twice
per day. They should have one grain
food, such as ordinary scratch foods
sold on the market, in the morning,
and another food composed OF bran,
shorts and corn meal made into a
mash in the afternoon. You can make
this up with the clabber referred to.
Clabber is good but beef scrap Is
so much better, as for small amount
you get so much larger per cent of
protein in the feed at much less cost,
unless you have the clabber and no
use for it. 1t is best to feed your
chickens heavily what they win eat
clean twice a day for the old birds,
rather than give them scant feed
and let them get in thin flesh. 1t is
best to always keep them in good
condition. They cannot lay eggs and
do well for you unless they are fed
heavily. 1 am sending a feed ra-
ton by mail to you.
You have done well with the num-
Der of chickens you kept, and 1t
might be well for you to continue as
you have been doing. However, I
think 1t would pay you better to get
rid of all except the best fowls and
good ones that will make a good per
cent of profit. 1t would be better to
divide your chickens, If you expect to
raise fancy ones, into smaller flocks,
say or II hens. and one rooster, in
each yard; or at least mate up one
good pen continuing your best and
you could let the others all run in
one yard, and set all eggs that you
expect to raise from the best pen.
1t is better by far to divide into
smaller flocks if you wish to raise
fancy fowls. than to allow them to
run one flock. 1t is also a good
idea to keep your hens and little
chicks in separate yards from the
old ones. Three ROSTERS will be plen-
ty to run with the 40 hens if they
are allowed to run together. During
this season of the year few old hens
are laying, as most of them are
moulting. The January, February
and March Matched pullets should be

THINKS PEOPLE
MARRY TOO EARLY
Methodist Church Conference Wants
Couples To Use License
Month Old.

Chicago, July 1.-THE Indiana dis
trict of the Lexington conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, in
convention at the Scott church, Satur-
day went on record as demanding that
the states of the union adopt uniform
laws providing that marriage licenses
be issued one month before the mar
riage can take place.
This action was taken after an ad-
dress on "Are the Morals of the Race
Declining?" by Mrs. Carrie Ross, of
Indianapolis, president of the Women's
Home Missionary society.
"One of the worst evils, we believe
is the case with which young girls can
get married. In some states there is
practically no brains at the marriage
license window. There is no pretense
at discrimination between old and
young, responsible and irresponsible
IF the law required that licenses
should be obtained a month before
| the wedding, the chances are thai
childish marriages would be lessenet
to the minimum.

Woman Dragged Long Distance BY
Hair After Cruel Beating
BY Husband.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 17-When
the trial Of Edward Brooks was called
at Poteau, deputies searched every
person entering the court room, to
prevent an attack on Brooks life.
Brooks. who beat his wife near Spiro
last week, and who was rushed here
to prevent being lynched, waived
examination and was held to the grand
jury.
His wife. swathed in bandages from
head to foot, was carried into the
court room on a cot,
She accused her husband of beating
her with switches, dragging her 80
feet by the hair to a railroad track
where she alleges he attempted to
brain her against the steel rails, and
with stamping her with his feet as
she lay near the tracks, and gave birth
to child
Intense feeling prevails against
Brooks and it is feared that he may
meet with violence.

NEW ADDITIONS
TO The FACULTY
Vanderbilt University Faculty Has
Undergone Reorganization and
Enlargement.

Nashville, Tenn, July 17.-An-
nouncement has been made by the Of
ficials of Vanderbilt University of new
additions to the faculty of the medical
college of that institution, which has
undergone reorganization and enlarge
ment as a result of the merger with
the University of Nashville, recently
effected. In the future the Vanderbilt
Medical college will occupy the cam
pus and buildings of the old University
of Nashville, thus affording the most
commodious quarters of any medical
college in the South. The fact that
the medical school of the University
of Tennessee has been removed from
Nashville, leaves the entire field here
to Vanderbilt.
! DIR. William L. Dudley, who has beer
dean of the department for twenty
years and largely instrumental in max
| ing the medical school what it is, will
continue to occupy the position o
Dean and professor of chemistry, anC
nearly all of the former faculty o
