THE ministers of St. Paul and

THE ministers of St. Paul and
Minneapolis took occasion last Sun
day to wallop the boxing bill. y
and cited Hudson, Superior and
Milwaukee as the deepest holes of
iniquity on the occasions of the
contests in these cities. Residents
of these cities however, are salts
fed to have the contests take place
within their borders and deny each
and every allegation pretaining to
the charges that drunkenness and
brutality prevails on these oc-
casions. From a distance it ap-
pears very much as if the divines
might better employ their talents
towards saving few brands from
the burning in their own immediate
vicinities and not attempt the i'm
possible task of regulating the
other fellows town in another
state. The larger part of the
manly God-fearing men are not
adverse to an athletic contest
where boxing is staged and do not
feel degraded to any alarming ex-
tent by attending these exhibitions
where two able-bodied, we'll
trained, sober men enter the arena
to knock off their adversaries
blocks s"-which seldom happens.
1t will be time enough to holler
after some one is hit. Give the
law a chance and then, if not
satisfactory, the contests could be
regulated to suit the most fastid-
ious. Some of the best senator's
and representatives in Minnesota
worked for the passage of the
measure and feel that they were
doing the right thing. Prize fight
ing is not quite as brutal as foot
ball and just a little more
strenuous, physically, than meet
ing of the sewing circle.

leave some feed and water, and
remove the board from the front
or top of the nest, and let the hen
come off when she is ready.
Should she return to the nest after
feeding, remove the china egg or
eggs and put under those that are
to be incubated. In cool weather
1T IS best not to put more than 10
eggs under hen, while later in
the spring one can put IL to IS,
according to the size of the hen.
IT several hens are sitting in the
same room, Sc that they are kept
on the nests, only allowing them
to come off to get feed and water,
which should be once a day.
Many eggs that are laid in the
late winter and early spring are in
fertile. For this reason it is advis-
able to set several hens at the
same time. After the eggs have
been under the hen for seven DAYS
they should be tested to see whether
they are fertile or infertile. Infer
tile eggs should be removed and
used at home in cooking or for
omelets, and the fertile eggs should
be put back under the hen. In
this way 1t is often possible to put
all the eggs that three hens origin
ally started to sit on under two hens
and reset the other hen again.
For example: Thirty eggs are set
under three hens at the same time,
10 under each. At the end of
seven days we find on testing the
eggs that 10 are infertile, which
leaves us 20 eggs to reset, which
we do by putting them under two
hens and have the remaining one
to set over again after she has set
only seven days.
A good homemade egg tester or
candler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to go over a lamp by re-
moving an end and cutting a hole
I" iASSAS lal SSl ludll Tue Size OF
quarter in the bottom of the box
so that when it is set over a COM
mon kerosene lamp the hole in the
bottom will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size of a silver dollar
should be cut in the top of the box
to allow the heat to escape. An
lntertlle egg when held before the
small hole with the lamp lighted
inside the box will look perfectly
clear, the same as a fresh one,
while fertile egg will show a
small dark spot, known as the
with a mass of little blood
veins eNtening in all directions if
the embryo is living. If dead, if
the egg has been incubated for at
least SO hours, the blood settles
away from the embryo toward the
edges of the yolk, forming in some
cases an irregular circle of blood,
known as blood ring. Eggs
vary in this respect, some showing
only streak of blood. The test
ing should be done in dark room.

THE roller skate is coming
back" 1t never really went out,
as far as the children are concern
ed. Now however young ladies
have taken it up-not in skating
rinks, by the way, but in the open
air,-for exercise and fun on the
sidewalks and smooth pavements
on the city streets. On any fine
evening on the best and most ex-
elusive streets in the residence dis
trlcts of Chicago, groups and
couples of girls from 18 to % may
be seen gliding along over the
smooth surface of the walks. The
fad has struck many of the smaller
places in different parts of the
country and already the village
klll-Joys are protesting and calling
for laws to prohibit skating on the
sidewalks. 1t was ever thus.
No sooner does youth find a new
way of amusing itself-no matter
how innocent-than some long
faced. vinegar-blooded reformer is
out with protest and a demand
that the young people be presented
with the alternative of abandoning
their fun or becoming criminals by
the infraction of a prohibitorv
ordinance. There was at one
time a well-grounded prejudice
against skating rinks. These
places, nowadays, are usually so
well conducted that they are CON-
paratively safe. But there can be
no just objection to the young
girls bringing the bloom of health
to their cheeks by such beneficial
exercise as roller skating on the
sidewalks of their own home town
and in company with the same
girls with whom they associate at
other times. Let the reformers
purchase roller skates and use
them. 1t will work off some of
the bile and give them a brighter
outlook on life.

There is something radically wrong
where the merchant in a small town
does not advertise in his local news
paper. He may, it is true, succeed
without awaiting himself of every ia
cility that is offered for building up
his business, but the effort is made
the more difficult because Of the neg
lect. A live newspaper is one Of the
best assets that community can
boast of, but no newspaper can prop
erly represent the interests Of a town
unless the interests of the town are
represented in its advertising col
umns, not as a subsidy, or charity,
but in active. aggressive and intelli-
gent effort at upbuilding. The inter-
ests of the merchant and the pub
Usher are identical, and there should
be cooperation between them, that
the town may have an effective me-
dunn Of publicity on the one hand
and that the largest possible returns
be given to the supporters of this en-
terprise, on the other.

One Result Of the War.

Before the war started in Europe,
we were importing annually about
$15,O0O,OOO worth of potash from Ger
many. Nearly two-thirds of this was
used for fertilizing purposes. Not
only had Germany the greatest potash
beds in the world, but the output was
trust-controlled, and the United States
had either to buy at German prices or
go without. It long had been known
that the familiar kelp Of the seashore
was rich in potash, and our scientists
had learned that the giant kelp Of
the Pacific, which floats in seemingly
inexhaustible quantities, could be
made to yield 16 per cent of this
precious salt. With the German sup
ply cut off by the war, the extraction
Of potash from kelp received a stimu-
lus that might never have come, and
now capitalists stand ready to render
the United States relatively independ-
ent Of the potash barons of Germany.
Even the Philippine government has
begun a study of the seaweed collect
ed on the shore of Manila bay for
the purpose Of encouraging the ex-
traction Of potash for the farms upon
the islands. Here Is q new industry
Of basic Importance whose develop
ment, If not its discovery, will come
as result of the European war.
