Flock of Hens Made
Owners Sixteen Cents
an Hour Last NIGHT

december egg reports furnished the
Telegraph this week give further
proof that hens pay both on the farm
and the back yard of the town or sub
urban home.
Charles F. Kile, of Enhaut, has 23
hens that laid 303 eggs last month.
They produced four eggs on the first
day, the lowest number laid on any
date, and made their best record on
the 30th, with 16 eggs The average
per bird for the month was slightly
above l3 eggs. The flock contains
some pure-bred Rhode Island Reds
and cross of Black Minorcas on
Rhode Island Reds.
William j. Reider. 447 Lincoln
street, Steelton, has in his flock 25
pullets and five hens all of which are
pure bred White Leghorns excepting
two White Wyandottes that are kept
to do the Matching. In December the
flock laid 476 eggs, or thirty-nin and
two-third dozens, an average of a.
trif1e short of 16 eggs per bird. These
eggs were sold at an average price Of
40 cents per dozen, the gross receipts
amounting to $15.S7. Within the
month this flock consumed 1875
pounds of scratch feed which cost
$2.75; also 35 pounds of dry mash
that cost 80 cents and grit. shell and
charcoal to the value of IS cents.
The total cost of feed was therefore
$500. leaving a profit of $1I.S7 for
the month.
Mr.. Reider has observed that 100
hens, on the same basis, would have
given net profit of $3.50 in the
month of December, as much as a
laborer earns in a month at a rate of
sixteen cents per hour.

Another tactful woman who W 9
asked by the wife what she thout
or musician who was the feature Sf

he has the most beautiful hair | ever

This relieved her of SAYING what

Later to the musician himself the

less pain. But these same criticisms
given to the wife would have done no

Absolutely truthful people are very
rare.
1t is one of the greatest If not THE
greatest of the virtues and it is the
most difficult to find in its unalloyed
purity in human nature.
imaginative people are almost al
ways guilty of exaggerations in relat-
ing facts, and after telling a story
with its embellishments few times
they believe they are telling it cor
rectly.
People with an over-supply of the
sense of humor seldom tell the truth
when relating incidents and happen
ings.
Very vain people are prone to tell
things which reflect more glory and
humor on themselves than is their
due.
Timid children with an inordinate
love of appreciation are sometimes
made liars by stern parents who be-
lieve in corporal punishment. or who
are severe in reprimands for small
offenses
Such Children Will Lie and Lay the
Blame on Others
Such children. unless their natures
are balanced by a great sense of JUS
tice, will lie themselves out of mis- \
demeanors and lay the blame on 9TH
ers. This is a particularly cowardly
and selfish phase OF lying, but is to be
met with almost every day in some
one.
1t is rare to find a grown-up cul-
prit who. when caught in wrongdoing,
will say: ut Is my own fault There
is no one else to blame"
1t is a great thing to teach chill |
dren from the start a large respect
and reverance for truthfulness. Teach
them to be exact in their statements. |
and to take pride in having their word |
And with this teaching impress up
on them the necessity to be sometimes
silent when the spoken word would do |
more harm than good.
They also serve the God of JUS
dce who know how to keep still.

Brown Eggs Hatch Out
a Day After Whites

Care and judgment should be ex-
ercised in the selection of the eggs
for Matching. These eggs should be
rigidly selected for CD size, CD uni
formit yof size, (3) shape, (4) uni
formity of size, (3) shape, (4) uni
formity of color, CD shell texture.
Eggs with weak she'll texture break
very easily when being turned during
incubation. Those that are either too
large or too small make the work of
turning more difficult because of the
lack of uniformity in size. Brown
eggs ordinarily hatch approximately
twenty-four hours later than white
shelled eggs, and it is therefore not
advisable to mix brown with white
eggs in the same incubator. Further.
the good sized egg will hatch a heav-
ier chick than small one. The small
chick is seriously handicapped when
forced to compete for food and
warmth with the larger and stronger
ones. Like tends to produce like.

1t Is indeed terrible thing to be

ignoble act than begging. There is

There is always some way to avoid
a lie, even when speaking the truth

Light Must Be Just
Right For Egg LAYING

Properly lighted houses are essen
ual for successful egg production
Dark quarters are always conducive
to filth, dampness and disease. and
also lessen egg production because of
the shorter periods in which a hon
can feed. Commercial poultrymen
recognize the necessity of abundant
lighting, but the farm, poultry house
is usually lacking in this essential.
Too much window space is equally
disastrous.
A common mistake is to place win
dows too low. Direct sunlight is as
effective in the middle of the pen as
near the window. In general, the tons
of the windows should be nearly one
half as high as the house is wide. In
house IA feet wide the tops of the
windows should be six feet high: in
one sixten feet wide, seven feet high !:
in one eighteen to twenty feet wide.
seven and one-half feet high.
