a big factor in favor of the Leghorn,
writes Temple Smith of Byzantine
Farms, Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia
Ledger.
We have trap-nest records showing
quite a number of our birds laying
a hundred, or more than a hundred
eggs, within twelve months from date
of being Matched. / recall one that
laid her one hundredth egg the day
she was eleven months old Such
birds are pretty safely and well in the
200-egg class.
Please do not take me as saying that
any large flock of layers averages 200
eggs. Nor are all Leghorns even good
layers. With Leghorns as with any
pure breed, the result depends quite
as much on the strain as on the breed,
but all the eggs a Leghorn lays are
white, hence worth most. So the Leg
horn would still lead. Much, too, de-
ponds on comfortable housing and
proper feeding and attention, what
eJky breed is kept.

YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH
Utmost Care Should Be Exercised to
See That Little Fellows Do Not
Get Chilled.

Some incubators have a space
around the egg tray for the purpose of
letting the newly Matched chicks drop
into it, off the tray. If we had an in
cubator of this kind, we would stuff
the opening with flannel rags, or news
papers crushed lightly and arranged
to permit circulation of air, and keep
the chicks on the warm tray until
ready to remove them, says a writer
in an exchange. If it becomes over
crowded, better take out the thor
oughly dry, first-hatched chicks, into
a fiannel-lined, warm basket, and close
the door quickly.
There is a difference of from five to
nine degrees in temperature between
the tray and the floor of the nursery
In some machines the floor has open
ings for ventilation.
Imagine wet chick tumbling down
from a temperature of 10S to 105 de-
grees, into one Of from 80 to SO de-
,grees. 1t will fun out and apparent
'ly be all right; but nine times out OF
ten it will die before the tenth day.
Babies and chicks need warmth;
flannel for the chicks is about as nee
essary as for the babies.

ALL MUST BEAR THE BURDEN
Children, If They Are to Be Strong
and SeItRellant, Have to Learn
That Fact.

On the lower deck of one of our
river packets little pile of pig iron
was carried on the trip up the river,
and when the cargo was unloaded the
pig iron was not removed, but was car
ried again on the trip down the river.
When the reason was asked, the an.
swer was given, "She travels steadier
when she carries a weight" And this
is true of men and women. The world
has little use for the young man OF
woman who has no furrow of thought,
and no wrinkle of responsibility. And
we are not kind to our own children
when we seek continually to shield
them from the hard things of life. We
may wish to spare them some Of our
own hard experiences, but if they are
to be strong and self-reliant they must
reach it by putting themselves under
the burden, and feeling the pressure OF
some OF the difficult things in life. You
want your boy to be strong and man.

entered tall, wide.shouldered strang-

spotted him. See that big guy? Just

.PURE-BRED SlRES ARE BEST
Selection Of Herd Bull Is Of Greatest
importanee-Avoid Contagious
Abortion and tuberculosis.

Farmers everywhere are beginning
to appreciate the need for pure-bred
sires. In dairying the selection Of
the herd bull is of the greatest impor-
lance because he is at least half the
herd from the breeding point of view.
Ills influence on the characteristics of
every calf born in the herd is as great
as that of the dam of the calf. If he
is a pure-bred animal used on grade
COWS, his influence will be more than
half because his transmitting powers
in breed characteristics will be
stronger.
No bull whose dam and paternal
grand-dam we're not capable of pro
ducing 300 pounds Of butterfat in 365
days should be used for breeding pur-
poses If good results are expected. It
would be much better if this premium
were set at $50. The prudent dairy
man will select a calf from a COW
which produced 400 pounds or more
of butterfat.
If the use of bulls from dams and
paternal grand-dams producing less
than 800 pounds Of fat we're prohibit
ed by state law it would be a long
step in advance. Much damage has
been done by INSCRIPTIONS and ignor-
ant breeders, who have sold. for
breeding purposes and at low prices,

DIET FOR THE BRAIN-WoRKER
Should Be That Nourishlng to the
Whole Body, With Special Refer
ence to Nervous System.
Advertisement

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories of
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly of phosphorus are the most appro-
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys-
tenn.
Brain power is largely an express
sion through the nerves of bodily vi
tally. In discussing this point in a
recent treatise. Dr. George NJ. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served, abundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be a prominent con,
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever it is de-
sired to rest the brain, fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place of meat.
He says we should select those arti-
Giles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach,
that for the time the brain may work
the harder, but the deficiency of nu-
triton ought always to be supplied IL
the first interval of repose.

In getting bulls from other herds

especially important to avoid conta-
