it must be the reaction from too
glowing hopes of America. He comes
expecting to find a Canaan of milk

SELECTING EGGS FOR MATCHING
Care Should BE Exercised to Insure
Strength and Vitality of Chicks.

While it is difficult to tell by look
ing at an egg what kind of chick
will come from it when it matches,
Prof H. A. Bittenbender of the agri-
cultural extension department of
Iowa State college says that eggs
selected merely at random are not
likely to produce the largest and
strongest chicks.
Some of the theories concerning
egg selection are not well founded.
For instance, the shape of an egg
does not determine the sex of the
chick, and round eggs do not pro-
duce pullets and pointed eggs, COO
kerels. Experiments have proved
that the shape and size of the egg
has little or nothing to do with de-
termining sex, but that strong,
healthy and more vigorous chicks
come from medium size and nor
NAL shaped eggs.
Eggs from hens are better than
from pullets if the stock is equal in
vitality" says Mr.. Bittenbender in
his bulletin on the poultry breeding
flock, which may be secured free BY
writing to the agricultural extension
department at Ames. Eggs that are
i'll shaped, rough, dirty and stained
should not be used. If eggs of good
size are used every year, it will tend
to increase the size and uniformity
of the eggs produced by the flock.
1t is not possible to tell whether the
egg is fertile or not without break
ing the she'll"
When eggs for Matching are saved
for a number of days, the number of
chicks Matched will be larger and the
chicks stronger if the eggs are held
under right conditions. They ought
not be stored in a room where the
temperature is around 20 degrees,
for then the evaporation will be rap
id and the vitality of the embryo will
be much reduced.

HAD ABOUNDING NERVE.
Startling Proposition a Kansas Mer-
chant Made to His Creditor.

The out-of-town merchant owed
the Kansas City house 5000 for
goods purchased the month previous.
The bill was due and letter was writ
ten requesting payment. A letter
came back saying that the writer was
somewhat short of cash and request
ing an extension of ninety days on
the bill. The Kansas City merchant
wrote another letter saying that he
must insist on the payment of his
bill and suggested that if the custom
er was hard up" the local bank
would undoubtedly accommodate him
with loan of 5000, so that the bill
might be paid.
In seventy-two hours the Kansas
City man received a reply, which he
is carrying around and showing to
his friends as a certificate of the ner-
West business proposition ever issued
in Missouri. The letter follows:
Dear Sir:-Your letter of Dec. 26
came today and noted. l was much
pleased with your suggestion about
borrowing money from the bank
here. In fact, l was so pleased that
this morning / went to the bank and
asked for a loan. l was told that
it would be necessary to get another
signature on the note besides my
own. Now, l do not care to ask any
one down here to indOrse for me,
but as you and l have had considera-
BILE business together / inclose the
note for your signature. Please sign
just below where l have written my
name
You will probably notice that the
note is for $500 instead of 5000, the
amount of your bill. You see, ! owe
two other fellows who handle the
same kind of goods as you, $50 each
and / thought as long as you and
are going to pay your bill we might
as we'll borrow enough to pay the
other fellows at the same time"

DEALING WITH ANARCHISTS.
Attempt to Blow up st. Patrick Ca
thedral i'm New York one of
Morbid Episodes Modern
Life.

The alleged attempt by anarchists
to blow up st. Patrick's cathedral in
New York is one of the morbid cpl
sodes of modern life that seem to
grow more and more frequent.
Is the anarchist an insane person,
who should be put in a lunatic asy-
lum; or is he criminal, who should
be dubbed by the police and jailed;
or is he an American citizen, TO be
given free rein to express his views
indefinitely from his soap-box?
Meetings of agitators frequently
result in riots, destruction of proper
ty, and loss of life. Yet the spread
CT ideas can't be stopped by breaking
up mass meetings. The viler and
more poisonous the ideas, the quick
er their contagion. The man whose
mouth has been stopped takes his
black words to the little printer in
some obscure basement, and soon his
foul story is passing from hand 10
hand.
If you want an explosion, the way
to get it is to have a man sit on the
safety valve. Allow it little vent
and the room may fill disagreeably
with steam, but the boiler is safe.
Normal American life turns out
few anarchists. 1t is the newly ar
rived alien whose mind was warped
and twisted by the tyrannies anC
