of us are inclined to be cynical regard

plastered up and made as good as

Yet. for all that. love is not listed

at whose quotation we may glance in
the morning over our coffee, love still
has an actual cash value, and is quite
as valuable an asset as anything in
our strong boxes.
Not Wholly Sentiment
Nor does this refer wholly to any
sentimental consideration. 1t is a cold,
hard. business proposition that the
ability to win love is just as much a
factor In any ones success in the
world as is tho ability to earn money.
Who are the people that we help,
that we lend money to, and whose

Supply of Moisture May
Be Measured Two Ways

There are two ways in which one
may determine whether or not suffi-
cient moisture is being supplied to eggs
under artificial incubation. The first
is by the use of the hygrometer; and
second, by carefully weighing at regu-
lar intervals the eggs incubated. OF
the two it is the opinion of most eX-
perts that the latter is preferable since
it is quite difficult proposition to take
exact readings from q hydrometer
operated in the egg chamber of an in
cubator.
From certain moisture tests that
have been conducted with the aid OF
the hygrometer it would appear that
a reading, without tanning of between
eighty-fve and ninety on the wet bulb
indicates moisture condition condu-
Give to good results in artificial incu-
baton.
The second method of checking up
the moisture, that of weighing the
eggs at regular intervals, has been
studied by many investigators in all
parts of the country and is one that
may be followed with some degree OF
certainty in results. A comparison of
the data available indicates that the
simplest way is to weigh the eggs on
the sixth, twelfth and eighteenth days.
If the moisture conditions have been
nearly correct, the weighings at the
end of each six-day period will show
a loss of approximately ten ounces
for every hundred eggs incubated.
With this knowledge it can easily be
determined whether moisture must be
added or whether there is already too
much.

TRAP NESTS BRING
POULTRYMEV CASH
Careful Operator May Learn
More About His Hens
by Its Use

The broody hen is an asset or
liability, according to circumstances.
When she is wanted for Matching, she
is an asset; when it is preferred that
she be layinv eggs, she is a liability
The superficial, dogmatic theory
that a hen lays more eggs If allowed
to rest on a nest for a month or SO
occasionally, inactive and unproduc-
tive, does not appeal to one as being
sound.
On the contrary, the weight OF evil
dence derived from individual hen rec
ords seems to show that the best lay
ers are the least inclined to broodi-
ness, and that the proper Interrupt
ton of broodiness causes hens to lay
more eggs than they would have laid
had they been allowed to sit out their
terms.
The trap nest enables the user to
study this matter as thoroughly as
his temperament and wishes permit,
and also enables him to control broodi-
ness to a greater degree than could
be possible with ordinary nests.
The careful and observing person
who operates the trap nests himself
will note the very first indications of
approaching broodineas. These signs
often become plain a considerable time
before the individual ceases to lay.
If she be allowed to remain on her
nest as long as she desires each time
that she enters it. the chances are
that she will become thoroughly
broody in a short time. The trap pre-
vents other hens from disturbing her.
This reveals one of the many reasons
why trap nests should always be in
stalled in numbers sufficient to meet
all probable emergencies.

The Cash Value Of Love?

appreciation they are literally starving
to death the goose that lays the golden
egg.
A cheerful. loving wife is a mascot.
A fretful, unloving wife is a hoodoo,
and thus 1t happens that love wins
out. and draws down the prize in
money as well as in domestic peace
and happiness.
So far as women are concerned, men
will find that it is also money in their
pockets to love their wives and keep
their wives in love with them. 1t is a
cynical marital joke that the man who
quarrels with his wife has to square
himself by means of fine raiment and
imported millinery. More than this,
there is no doubt that when women
are unhappy they relieve their feelings
by extravaganza. as miserable men do
theirs by drink. Many an unloved
wife, of whose expenditure her hus-
band complaints, is merely trying to
make up for the emptiness of her
heart by overlooking her body with
purple and fine linen.
AS long as woman believes in a
husbands affection she can be happy
in log cabin, or a two-by-four fiat,
and it is because love flies so often
out of the window that so much
money has to come in by the door. AS
long as man tells his wife that she is
the most beautiful woman in the world
in his eyes she will wear last years
clothes without one word of repining.
This Makes for Economy
AS long as man takes any interest
in holding his wife's hand she will
gladly work it to the bone for him.
and, this being the case, it is a wonder
that the sex that prdes itself on it's
financial sagacity has never thought it
worth while to bestow more kisses
and compliments and less coin on it's
wife. 1t would make for economy
Perhaps when we come to regard
love as a tangible asset, instead of a
dream, we shall be less careless about
losing or mislaying it. There would
be fewer divorces If the average hus-
band and wife were as careful of each
others affections as they are of a five
dollar bill.

Poultry Troughs May
Be Improved Cheaply

Here are some suggestions for inn
proving the V-shaped trough: To keep
the litter out of the troughs build them
higher. TO keep the hens feet out.
place a strip of wood lengthwise across
the middle of the top. To keep the
hot sun, rain or snow out, place a
board over the top. AS a rule the
weather is such that the loose board
may be laid aside.
Several points of advantage possess
ed by the trough are themselves inn
portant enough to deserve attention.
1t is constructed to rest on four legs
instead of tile usual board ends. This
provides for greater stability. The
trough so constructed seldom rocks,
nor is it thrown over by crowding
hens.
1t can. however, readily be thrown
by the attendant, for the purpose of
discharging any dirt that may have
collected there, though his hands be
otherwise occupied. 1t can as readily
be righted, the high ends preventing
complete turning. The attendant will
soon discover the high ends also pro-
vide convenient resting places for the
bucket as he goes the rounds of his
work in the poultry yard.

Recommends White Rocks
For Exhibition Purposes

The White Plymouth Rock has adj
vantages that are pleasing to great
majority of persons interested in eX-
hibition poultry. Beauty of plumage,
beauty of head, beautiful golden color
of flesh, skin and shanks are points
that appeal to admirers of fine poultry.
No other breed of fowls have these
desirable qualities so well established.
Flocks of thousands will differ but
little in general appearance. They
can be bred in large numbers and
culIed for two-pound broilers at the
age of twelve weeks; later they can
again be culled for three and four
pound roasters. The poorest of the
bullets can set apart for the produc-
tion of eggs for market; the surplus
cockerels make fine capons, and finally
the cream of the flock can be used for
exhibition.
The White Plymouth Rock has per-
haps been more popular in the East
and Middle West than anywhere else,
and despite efforts to push other breede
into public favor it has withstood the
test One of the reasons for this is
because the fowls breed so true to
plumage that but little yellow or
cream color shows on the surface
plumage of the males.

unusually fit? Not a bit of it. 1t is
the people we like. Genius allied to
an unpleasing personality still starves
in garrets, while agreeable mediocrity
has golden opportunities thrown in its
way.
All of us do things for people be-
cause we are fond of them that we
would not do for them because it was
their due to save their lives.
The most forcible illustration. how
ever, that the world affords of the
real cash value of love is to be found
in the domestic relationship. Nobody
ever appraises a mans love for his
wife as tangible asset, yet in reality
the worth of genuine case of affec-
ton for his wife runs the capital on
which any man is doing business up
$4,000 year.
Love Makes Him Man
If he is violently in love with her
this figure may be safely doubled,
while if he thinks she is the only
woman in the world, and that nothing
is good enough for her, he has prac-
tically unlimited financial resources.
This is not an exaggerated statement.
Love hath made this thing man,
said Kipling of a little whimpering
halfbreed who turned heroic in mo-
ment of trial for the sake of woman.
Love has also turned many a poor
man into a millionaire. 1t is a power
so great that it is genius in itself.
Just because he wants to clothe
some woman he loves in silks and
Jewels makes many a naturally indo-
lent man into a hustler. The knowl-
edge that a woman believes in him,
and expects him to succeed. nerves a
man up to do the very best that is in
him. just as the knowledge that his
wife is Indifferent to him, and will nag
him. and twit him with his failures,
saps his energies and paralyzes his
courage.
A quiet, peaceful, happy home is
such an element in a mans success,
a tender. affectionate, loving wife is
such an inspiration to him, that it is a
wonder that even selfish women, who
care for only what they can get out of
their husbands, have not sense enough
to see that in failing to give man any

Swiss Chard May Be
Raised With Profit

Swiss chard is vegetable that COM
mends itself to every family that has
a garden, and especially to those fam
lilies that have both garden and hens,
for poultry and poultry keepers alike
relish Swiss chard.
The claims for chard are many. In
the first place, from planting made
early in the spring there will be a con-
tinuous supply throughout the summer
and Fall. Cut the leaf just above the
ground and in a short time a new
growth will take it's place. The quail
ity of the leaf does not go back as the
season advances. Moreover, the root
is just as palatable to both man and
fowl as is the leaf, and when heavy
frosts have killed oc the top growth,
there remains a good crop of roots'to
fall back upon.
Anyone who esteems spinach as a
green food probably will be more than
willing to accept chard as a substitute.
