president, will be held in the parlors
of the Bolton House, this city, on
Monday, January 26, at 1 o'clock.
j. d. Koons, secretary, says in the
notice of the meeting sent to the
members of the society, that 1t is pro-
posed to form semisecret society.
Poultrymen other than members of
the society are invited to attend this
meeting and they should do 80 il pos
sible. The society plans to carry on
a great work in this State and it is
proposed that membership in the
State Society shall be obtained by
poultrymen only through their mem
bership in local poultry association.
The objects of the society as out
lined in communication addressed
to poultry associations throughout the
State, are admirable, barring perhaps
the secrecy feature. Inasmuch as this
society in the first year of it's exist
ence was able to obtain a State ap-
preparation of $4,000 and hopes to do
even better in the future, there had
better not be too much secrecy
Pennsylvania needs just such a So
ciety as we are promised by those at
the head of this new organization
and the plans as outlined are feas-
ible IL put forth in good faith. The
associations of all nearby counties

STATE COLLEGE HAS
LARGE POULTRY FARM
Will Accommodate a thousand
Laying Hens and Rear
as Many More

1t will interest poultrymen through
out Pennsylvania to learn that Penn
sylvania State College has taken pos.
session Of a commercial poultry farm
located about three-fourths of a mile
from the college. The farm has suf-
f1cient equipment to enable the college
to carry a flock of 1000 laying hens
and tosrear a like number of chick
ems each season. It is the purpose of
those in charge of the States poul-
try work to operate this new farm as
a commercial egg farm, making it the
basis of a study of numerous ques-
uons bearing on poultry farm man
agement, such as production costs.
labor costs, etc.
The acquisition of this farm gives
the poultry department at State its
nrst opportunity to study some of the
larger problems that confront COM
mercial poultrymen in their work.
Heretofore the majority of the ex-
perimental work at State was carried
on with a flock too small to be of
commercial Importance and in other
respects the facilities were not iden-
tlcal to those on farms producing eggs
commercially.
When this college plant gets going
poultrymen of the State should be
told through weekly bulletins of the
poultry work being done there, Should
roup develop in the college flock it
would interest every poultry keeper
In the State to know how the epi-
demic got its start, the remedies be-
Ing tried and the results from same.
If nine-months-old Orpington pullets
on the farm have not started to lay
there should be forthcoming a note
OF explanation for such failure, or an
apalogy for the breed.
Pennsylvania State College has not
added its share to the sum total of
poultry knowledge largely because
pennsylvania lawmakers have been
penurious toward all agricultural in
terests for some reason or other. Per-
haps they are not aware that the acre
age of land under production in the
United States has nearly ceased to in
crease, and that production per acre
has not increased while population
has grown greater at very rapid
rate. The outlook for conditions ten
years hence WOULD be indeed dark if
increase in yields of crops and poul-
try were not feasible.

FROZEN COMB OR WA1TTIES
REMEDIED BY THESE METHODS

The bulletin for the eleventh week
OF the third international egg laying
ontest. Storrs, Conn. in making ref
erence to the frosted combs in the
flock of competing birds says:
In this connection it may be we'll
to point out that in case of frozen
combs or wattles perhaps one of the
best methods of procedure is to first
get out the frost by smearing the af-
ected part with vaseline and then
manipulating with the fingers Do
lot take the bird to a very warm
pom, and likewise protect the ndi-
idual from severe cold. Then annoint

Trapnesting Makes
Champion Egg Layer.

To trapnest layers requires con-
stant attention and much careful work
and with most poultry keepers it is
not practical. yet daily there is new
evidence that points to it as the only
safe and sure way to build up a flock
of heavy layers. For several years
the highest producer in each Of sew
eral laying contests in different coun-
tries was produced by one man who
has trapnested his layers through
many years. None of the other breed
ers over whom he had ever tran
nested consistently for any great
length of time.

he's added to 1t another quality. He
wants her to be armour plate before

But mark my word" he went on,
the independence of women, and es-
pecially the financial independence of
women is the reason there are SO many
divorces nowadays. and there are go
ing to be more and more divorces
until men realize that they have got
to treat their wives better, and be
fairer to them, in order to keep friend
wife on her job, and satisfied with it.
1--WE sbeen frank and told what lew
men even acknowledge to themselves,
and that is that a mans real ideal of
a perfect wife is an intelligent slave.
He wants her to feel that she is abso-
lutely dependent on him. That's why
the ordinary man won't give his wife
an allowance. He isn't stingy. He
wants her to have the money, but it
tickles his vanity to have her come
and humbly importune him for every
cent.

habit of having fat pay envelope

husband for every cent? / trow not,
and husband has got to come across
with the allowance in the future, or
else wife will go back to her type
writer, or counter.
ALSO man has felt that he had a
right to be about ten times as dis
agreeable to his wife as he would dare
to be to anybody else, and wife has
stood it because she had nowhere else
to go. except back home where she
wasn't wanted. But that halcyon day
is also gone, for wife is demanding that
she shall be treated in her own home,
by her own husband, with as much
respect and courtesy, as she has been
accustomed, to receiving in the bust
ness Office where she worked.
That's why 1 don't marry. The in
dependent, clear eyed, bright and
snappy business girl has spoilt me for
any other sort of girl. and I'm not
good enough for her. I've got so much
of old Adam cave-dweller in me that
she'd divorce me, sure"

Shipped Eggs Failure
For Breeding Purposes

Many breeders make a proposition
to prospective buyers of settings of
eggs that seems ridiculous They
agree that in case a first shipment
proves satisfactory, a second one, in
all probability no better than the
first, will be made at half price
Others will agree to replace all in
fertile eggs free provided the worth
less ones are returned by express,
charges prepaid. This means that the
buyer must pay the charges of three
express shipments to get one setting
of eggs and the profit from poultry
keeping is not SO great as to warrant
any such burden.
The truth is that trading in hatch
ing eggs at long range can never be
made very satisfactory, and a better
way, 1t seems, is to let the producer
raise the chicks. Then the breeder
can sell his customer stock instead
of eggs.

No Brute
"Now, I'm no brute, and I've no de-

natural masculine desire to feel that
my wife is dependent on me, and that
she looks up to me as O sort of divine
