There Is no" satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs

full in gathering eggs, SO that they
won't become chilled In winter and
so the hens won't sit on them over
night and using a little care In sizing
and selecting. quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. II not possible, get
a market In your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then. for your own sake.
live up to the ,sagreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't, send small.
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with a rubber stamp. using your
initials or the name Of your farm. and
in a sh ort time you will have created
a demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such a demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices.

Several neighbors should send their
eggs together, paying cent or two
per dozen to- one of their number for
doing the business. and in this way

CAREFULLY GULL ALL RUNTS
Best Way 10 to XIII Them or as Soon
az Birds Show Pronounced Symp-
ton1S-Feed 10 Wasted.

"a There are sure to be few runts
in every flock, no matter how hard
the breeder may strive to guard
against them. Usually these runts
may be told from the time the little
chicks are five weeks old. The man.
ner in which they carry themselves
when moving around shows that they
can be nothing but runts when grown
up. No matter how hard you try or
how much feed you put into them.
they will be nothing but runts. The
feed and time taken to make their
growth will be practically wasted, as
the birds will never sell for one-tenth
what it cost to raise them.
Usually the best way is to kill them
as soon as they show pronounced
symptoms Of being runts. 1t may ap-
pear cruel, but it is better for the
birds and certainly better for the
grower. Removing them puts them
out of their misery and insures that
the other birds will be healthier.
Runts invariably contract every dis
ease which is prevalent and carry it to
the healthier birds in the flock.

SENATOR JONES WOULD EMULATE The GREEKS

But few monuments or memorials

magnificent memorial is soon to be
erected to the women Of the Civil war,
but it will be placed away down on
the reclaimed flats toward the Poto-
mac river, to be seen only by those
who ride In automobiles or who take
the sightseeing cars.
Our women deserve, recognition.
They have done well their part in the
development of our country and in
the making of its history.
1T is time a suitable memorial
should be provided to commemorate
the splendid American womanhood.
How better can we do this than to set
aside beautiful park for such monu.
ments, statues and memorials as
grateful people may place there from
time to time? What more appropriate
location for such a park and memorial
site than the territory fronting the
magnificent edifice through which the
people of the nation come to visit
their capital?
This bill sets aside the territory to
be acquired between C street and the
Union station for an outdoor Parthe-
non, so that the first view to greet
persons as they enter the national
capital will be memorials and monu-
ments commemorative to the sublime
womanhood of their beloved country"

LIGHT FOR UNCLE SAM. q,

Early beginning of construction
upon the mammoth heat. light and
power plant to supply the govern
ment department buildings in this
city was assured when Byron
R. Newton, assistant secretary OF
the treasury, designated L. B
Stilwell, consulting engineer Of New
York city, as an expert to CO.
operate with the engineering force of
the supervising architects Office in
the treasury department. Tfts4ss
This is the first step by the govern
ment to bring about complete control
of the heat, light and bower service
for the local departments. and the
treasury department expressed a de-
sire to rush the project forward as
rapidly as possible. .
The central works is to be located
on the river front facing Potomac
park at Water street, between Thir-
teenth and Hall streets
southwest The sundry civil bill in
congress appropriated $1.494,104 for
plant. The land upon which it will
be built is owned by the government.
The plant will not occupy all Of the
land for buildings, but will allow
enough space to provide site for a
municipal works for the district.
The government now spends large
sum each year for electric current
and it is said that the new central
station will prove good investment
in addition to providing better serv.
ice.
Buildings which are to receive light,
heat and power from the plant are:
Department of agriculture, bureau of
engraving and printing, treasury
building, White House buildings and
grounds. state war and navy, winder
and mills buildings. court OF claims,
national museum, Smithsonian insti-
tuition, army medical museum, fish
commission. the district building,
Washington monument. and post Of
fee department. The plant also will
supply the departments of state, jus.
tice, commerce and labor when these
are constructed. +.

SOME DISEASES OF POULTRY
Unsanitary Surroundings, Spoiled
Feed, Impure Water, and Poor Ven
tiIation Are Among Causes.

Poultry diseases, just like other dis.
eases, are favored by unsanitary sur
roundings, spoiled food. style and dirty
drinking water, and poorly ventilated
and insuf1ciently lighted coops,
Sick birds should be removed from
the flock, and dead ones burned, in an
outbreak of any disease.
White diarrhea OF chicks is caused
by germ which is often passed from
the hen to the chick through the egg.
Vessels and troughs In which feed
is placed should be frequently scalded,
or disinfected with five per cent. So

- Be careful In introducing new birds
into your flock to see that they are
perfectly healthy, and not likely to
bring disease with them.

Infant mortality in Afghanistan is

leading medical missionary in Pes

about one-half the children born in
the country die before reaching the
age of three years. There are no spe-

prevent such mortality, and the wan

OF life and the small attention paid to
