PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS
Difference In Prices Between Lowest
and Highest Quality Ranges From
Ten to Fifteen Cents.

Il certainly pays to grade eggs. In
many city markets the difference in
urfces between the highest and low
est grade is often fifteen or twenty
cents on the dozen. Frst-quality eggs
should be fresh and Of a fairly large
syxe. weighing around twenty-four
ounces to the dozen. II first-Quality

MARKET HENS WHEN 0vERFEn

profitable to Doctor.

Sometimes a hen gets too fat to
lay. although not often in her pullet
year. The best layers are in good
condition when only reasonably fat.
Even where the ration furnished is q
perfectly balanced one. an occasional
hen will persist in putting on meat
instead of laying eggs. This condi-
tion is noted by 'bagging down"
Of the abdomen. When a hen gets
too fat to lay it is economy to send
her to market Many farmers re-
duce the feed for the entire flock. but
this should not be done. These hens
will bring top prices on the market.
Unless the hen is especially valuable.
1t will not pay to doctor her into lay.

i ExCELLEn7 P0INTSs0F SIL0
Does Not Pay Farmer to Mix Corn
and Sorghum Crops, Says Ex.
pert Of Kansas College.

Mixing crops in a silo does not pay.
according to J. B. Fitch. assistant
in dairy husbandry in the Kansas
State Agriculture college He says
that many farmers mix corn and sor-
ghum crops. but that this does not
increase the value of either feed. and
generally means more work. in that
material must be hauled from two
fields. The sorghums. Mr. Fitch points
out. are generally not mature enough
to 90 into the silo until some time
after the corn crop has been cut.
This is one Of the points taken up
in a circular issued by the dairy de-
partment of the college for farmers.
The time to cut the silage crop. the
size of cutter. the manner of cutting,
the packing OF silage. the gas in silos.
and the time to feed silage are among
the other matters in tho circular

and others in your community who
are interested in the development and
improvement of its potato industry.
Many people are acquainted only
in q general way with the character
istics of the different varieties of po-
tatoes. Among the early varieties
ale: Early Ohio: an extra early and
popular market variety. Also in
strong demand for seed. Early Rose.
a medium early vigorous grower. par
ticularly popular for sandy loan soils.
Triumph. an early maturing variety
in strong demand as seed for southern
truck markets. Irish Cobbler. grow
ers in many sections specialize on this
standard eastern white variety for
seed trade.
Among the late potatoes. the Rural
New Yorker is a leading commercial
variety which is being adopted as
standard in many community centers.
The Burbank Is q well-known variety
which is well adapted to new and
well-drained soils.
The Green Mountain is another
good late potato which is rapidly in
creasing in favor.
1t is greatly to the advantage Of
every grower to learn all about the
stock he intends to raise. Set high
standard and work for Improvement
every season. The results will be
gratifying and profitable.

SIMPLICITY.

Simplicity is art, understood by the
ignorant and appreciated by the intel
ligent
Great men are simple, and their
tastes are simple. They dress simply.
never Ostentatiously; their watch
chains, il they have any. are never
large and conspicuous. Occasionally
they wear a ring, but only one ring.
Their natural appetites crave simple
food, and not the rich viands and the
mysterious sauces which can tickle
only the palate of the epicure. who
lives to eat rather than eats to live.
The great authors, those who have
written the living words which never
die. write in simple diction. use Ian
guage as a means to an end, not to
make display Of IT.
Many years ago, then somewhat
unknown man, by the name of Dan
fel DeFoe, made a story out of the
experiences of a shipwrecked sailor
and called his hero Robinson Crusoe. "
For q generation this narrative was
read by youngsters, and it was looked
upon as a children's book. Today 1t
has passed beyond the juvenile class
and is considered one of the finest ex-
amples of simple English narrative,
having a place in the Libraries Of the
world.
Lincoln was not the only orator at
Gettysburg. Competing with him-it
l may put 1t that way-was one of
Americas greatest scholars; yet the
simple words of Lincoln have become
an English classic. and millions OF
people can recite the whole speech
from memory, while the words Of the
scholar are almost forgotten. and not
one in ten thousand of the men of
today know what he said; in fact,
most of them do not know that he
spoke at all.
Simplicity lives. its opposite dies
young. Great men Of every class
have been simple and their reputa-
tions have been built upon simplicity.
They not only understand what they
say. but they say 1t 30 that others un-
derstand It.
Education by itself does not produce
an educated man. Education is sim.
ply one of the elements which 60 to
round out man and make him a bet
ter citizen. enabling him to accomplish
better results. Education. academic.
ally speaking. is not necessarily sim.
pie. 1t is more or less complex. There.
fore. the educated man of use in the
world has mixed simplicity with his
learning that II may be in a condition
to be assimilated.
Not what we know but what we do
with what we know. counts: and we
cannot distribute either learning OF
experience. or use them to advantage
unless we have prepared them to meet
the exigencies of the times, made
them SO that they are of use.
The greatest leveling power in the
world. that which makes things good
for something. is common simplicity
mixed with common sense. The two
are practically synonymous. for one
cannot exist without the other. Where
they don't exist. all the learning in
the world. and all the experience pos
sible for one to obtain, are like SC
much gold buried beyond the reach OF
man.
Be simple. be clear. Don't swallow
a dictionary and exhale words, which
like dust. blind the eye and clog the
ear.

Man, collectively, is almost all-pow-

One of the principal causes Of fail

the more you get together. the more

Depending upon yourself is laudable
and to be encouraged, but when you
carry that selfdependence to the ex-
treme. you will find that you have
nothing back of you which will sus-

You need companions. companions
