Limit Libations to Three.

There is limit. The number. OF
cocktails, highballs. fixes, and other
favored and perfumed libations known
to possess a slow, sinuous. undulating
recoil action familiarly known as a
''kick." that may be consumed at one
sitting IL just three. The three-round
limit applies, however, to a relatively
small zone of operations, but, never.
theless, u popular one.
8 The rule has been promulgated by a
leading hotel for guidance OF, the fire..
quenters Of the public room known as
the lounge, and. which is most crowded
during the afternoon tea hours. Since
this room is designed for the special
comfort Of women, and no mere man
can purchase anything in it unless he
is escor!ing one or more of the fair
sex, there is a suspicion that the rule
had the women in view when designed.

TESTING SEED BY INCUBATOR
Tray Made Of Light Wood, Filled With
al, Sand, viii Prove Efficacious- 4
Keep Temperature Right. ~

While not in use for Matching, the
incubator may be used for testing seed
by making false tray of light wood
which is filled with sand. The seed
should be placed in the sand, covered
and kept moist. Keep the tempera-
ture up to, or above IS degrees, and
the seed will terminate in a short
time. .~q.., So --s.a>.;
Even when 1t is in use for Matching,
seeds may be tested by placing them
between damp cloths in a plate, set
ting the plate under the egg tray in
what is known as the "chick nursery"
Plants thus terminated in sand may
be transplanted to the hot bed. not
only testing the seed for vitality, but
utilizing those so tested. H>

a Good Name

All great men have children named
after them. There was a time in
America when Washington and Jeffer-
son enjoyed, at the baptismal font, a
standing not less regular than that of
John, or Henry. or James. Now it ap-
pears that Frenchmen. instead of nam
ing their boys Philippe, CASTOR, An
tome, are calling them Joffre. Fig
ures gathered in one town show that
between August 2 and December is
no less than twenty-one fathers of
families bestowed this name upon
their SONS. A plumber in the same
town desired to have his little daugh-
ter called Joffrette. But the town clerk
declined to admit the name to the off,
cial register. And yet" says French
commentator. its a pretty name
enough" g.. .s' 49,

PREPARING FOR DEAR EGGS
Hatches From Which Early Puilets
Are Derived That Are Largest
Money Producers for Farmer.

II the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are GER
tain to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them
say the poultry specialists in the
department The way to have eggs
late in the year is to hatch pullets
early. 1t is the early matches from
which the early pullets are derived
that are the largest money-makers
for the poultry producer. The early
Matched cockerels can be marketed
in almost any market in America when
they attain a weight Of three-fourths
Of pound and pound to a pound
and half each, which they should
reach at about six t6 ten weeks of age,
respectively, at greater profit to the
producer than at any other time Of
their lives. The early Matched pull.
let's, If properly grown, should begin
to lay in the fall at the time when
eggs are scarce and high In price. II
Pullets must be we'll matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs. i%
Pullets that start to lay, in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as q
rule, lay all winter.
It is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high. =
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early Matched pullets. 'SSs
Yearling and two.year.old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are melting at that time, and the feed
they consume goes not only to keep
up the energy and life of the birds, but
also to put on or grow new coat of
feathers. tr-l
In properly matured pullets all sur
plus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements Of the body
is available for the production Of
eggs. K. ~ g,

!, Time does change the order, of
things" said one of number of ell
derby men who were gathered in q
grocery store over at the Cape one
evening last week, "and some Of, the.
changes that are hardly noticed or
even known by most Of the younger
people OF today are in many ways re-.
markable. "a i .4"
~ Take. for instance, the wild pigeon
that was to be- found in almost every
patch Of woods in the state when l
was boy; there is not one to be
found in the entire country east or
west of the Rockies today, and one
of the departments at Washington has
offered a large reward for anyone
who will produce or tell where nest
of the wild pigeons can be found. .
LAS said they were very plentiful
in these parts back in the sos and
many were found in the COS and early
'70s, but today not one can be found
in the United States. The cause Of
all this lies in the fact that many
people carried on the business of trap
ping them and out in Scarboro man
by the name Of Flummer did this to
such an extent that he came to be
known as Pigeon Dave Plummer. The
traps were SO arranged that hundreds
of the birds would be caught at one
spring of the trap, and when one
comes to think that this business was
carried on all over the country. it is
easy to see how in years their num-
bers dwindled and finally died out al
together" ~ !
ION the other hand" said another
of the party, : Comparatively few
years ago we had never heard OF such
bird as the English sparrow, and
today they are as thick as white weed
in a poor mans pasture"
Speaking Of white weed" said the
first speaker, reminds me of the time
went to school way up on what is
now Highland avenue, and white weed
was just making its appearance In
the fields. 1t was not very plentiful,
however, and rem ember that farm
er named Dyer told us boys that he
would give us cent dozen for all
we could pick in his field, for by that
means it was kept from going to seed.
Look at the fields nowadays. If one
could get cent dozen for 1t now.
a person could get rich in the course
Of a couple of years and not have to
work but a week or two each year at
that. Yes, sir, there have been many
changes in such things as these dur
ing the last 20 or more years, and are
still going on" Portland Express and

CEDAR /: | ''li RUST DISEASE
Trouble Is Very Abundant In
Some Eastern Sections.
Orchards In Vicinity of Cedar Thick
eta Usually Suffer Moro Severely
Than Those Which Are sItu-
- y ated Some Distance Away. ,..,r,

The cedar rust Of apples 10 more or
less widespread In the eastern and
central portions Of the United States.
It is reported from New Hampshire to
North Carolina on the Atlantic sea-
board and westward as far as Iowa
and Nebraska. The disease is not
found except in regions where both
apples and red cedar grow. The red
cedar Is very abundant in some parts
of the eastern states. and in those sec
lions there ia great deal more Of the
disease than in any other portion. The
principal reason for this lies in the
fact, that, along with the abundance OF
cedar trees, the large commercial ap-
pie orchards contain many varieties
which are particularly susceptible to
the disease. Orchards in the vicinity
OF cedar thickets have usually SUI
fered more severely than those which
are situated ut some distance. The
injury is more marked IL the orchard
is on the leeward side Of the cedar
thickets, where the spores Of the dis
ease, may be continually borne in by
prevailing winds, but all orchards Of
susceptible varieties Of apples suffer
more or less from the cedar rust. Two
years ago, the financial loss to apple
growers in the state of Virginia alone
was estimated to be upwards Of one
half million dollars, and this did not
take into account the loss due to
weakness of the trees and to impairing
the vitality Of the fruit buds for the
following year, which would surely
diminish each succeeding crop.
The cedar trees in the vicinity, Of
apple, orchards develop, during the
winter and early spring, a large num-
Der OF corky gals, which are common
ly spoken Of as cedar apples. These
