GOOD EGGS FOR MATCHING

At this season of the year the POI
try raiser is interested in the incup
tion of eggs for the purpose of hate
ing good strong chicks. Much of h
success will depend upon the egg
which he places under the hens or II
the trays of the incubator. They
should be gathered often during tha
chill, cold days of early spring.
Some precautions in gathering eggs
are to be observed, according to New
Jersey Experiment Station authori-
ties. A Matching egg should never be
left in the nests long enough to be-
come chilled. This means that
Matching eggs should be gathered four
or five times during the day, frequent
trips being made to the nests during
the morning, when the majority Of
the eggs will be laid. Matching
should be stored in a room which
a temperature of about 60 to 65e
grees. This is not cold enough
chill them, nor is it warm enough to
start the germ cell within them de-
veloping. These two extremes must
be guarded against carefully.
Eggs should be turned twice a day
from the day they are collected until
they are placed in the machine. This
is for the purpose of keeping the yolk
surrounding the germ cell, from stick
ing to the she'll at any one point. The
eggs a be turned satisfactorily by
gently rolling them on a table or shelf
1t is a wise plan to use the freshest
eggs possible for incubating purposes
The older the eggs, as a general rule.
the lower will be the percentage of fer
tility. On the day before the eggs

wise to place them in a room or nor
NAL temperature. This will insure a
minimum lowering of temperature in
the machine when they are placed in
it. Eggs must be handled carefully.
so that no shells are broken ana y
inner parts of the eggs are not vio-
lently agitated. Rough handling is
responsible for many bad eggs.
There is another important point
to consider in Matching eggs. The
quality of eggs should be good. Sc
lection of eggs is necessary. First
of all, Matching eggs must be uniform,
in size, shape, color and texture.
Gull out the small eggs, for small
chicks will be Matched from them.
Gull out the abnormally large eggs,
for mal-formed chicks, if my, are
apt to result from them. Gull out
the long, uneven eggs for chicks from
these will be Uneven. If uniformly
colored eggs are set the pullets, re-
sulting are apt to be the layers of
more uniformly colored eggs. One
should attempt to make all poultry
products raised as uniform as poss-
IDLE. The market demands it.
A little time and care invested in
the selection and proper care of eggs
before they are placed into the incp-
bator will repay the poultry raise,
many times. 1t is one of the little
details of which successful poultr
raising is made up. q

atty, the complete freedom and per
feet independence of the American
citizen. is Abraham Lincoln.
When the pilgrims touched Plymouth
rock on that bleak morning of Dec. 81
1920. a nation was conceived.
On the 4th of July, 1776, after l5(
years of travail, the cry of the new.
born nation was first heard in the i'm
mortal Declaration of Independence.
Through more than ten long weary
wearing, wasting years of war, strug
gle, hunger, incompatible sacrifice and
glorious achievement the governmental
garment of this nation was in the
weaving and the making. In 1856 the
rules for the conduct of the life oil
this nation, the constitution which
Gladstone said was 1.-The most re
markable instrument ever struck of
by man at a single point of time," took
definite form and was ready to clothe
the nation which was still struggling
with the trammels and environments
of thirteen different state governments
On the first Wednesday in March
1889, these thirteen states merged theii
individual lives into the being of the
nation to the full extent that was es-
sential to the life and preservation OF
the perpetuity of the Union.
The nation had been born and cloth
ed with power to speak and. act its
part among the nations and in the
great historical drama of the world.
The More "Perfect Union" Established,
The people OF America had expressed
themselves, not only In a spiritual liv-
ing nationality, but in a perfectly uni
fed, definite, concrete, constitutional
government, through which Its nation
al aspirations and purposes were to be
realized. The people of America had
become the American people. The ma
tionality of the people of America had
become the American nationality be-
eause unified and independent of all
The rest of the world.
And yet, complete and perfect as the
unification and independence of the
American people then seemed to have
been wrought out through persecution,
sacrifice, noble impulse, aspiration,
hope, exalted endeavor and prophetic
wisdom, both the union of the states
and the liberty of the people were to
be subjected to the severest tests that
human greed could possibly devise.

has been purchased at the price Of
war. And yet who would recall, If he
could, a single deed of yalor and saeri-
fee? They are the richest heritage
and the most glorious and all impelling
forces in the character building of this
nation. Without these two great world
history making wars we would have
had no Father of His Country; we
would have had no Washington. whose
mighty character moved over and
stirred the political deeps of all the
nations of the earth: We would have
had no savior of this republic: we
would have had no Lincoln. whose i'm
mortal spirit fills the upper air and
will permeate all political thought to
the end of time with his sense of right,
justice and humanity.
