CLEAN EGGS.

During late fall and early winter
it is sometimes a problem for the
poultryman to market good, clean
eggs, such as his customers demand.
This is due to the prevalence of con-
siderable rainy weather, which makes
the yards wet, and thus causes the
birds feet to become muddy. In or
der to overcome this and thus avoid
the undesirable practice of washing
market eggs, the following sugges-
lions are made by the department OF
poultry husbandry at the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station.
First, keep the laying birds closely
housed when the yards are muddy
during rainy periods. This should
be observed particularly in sections
where clay soils OF shale soils are
common.
Second, keep from six to eight inch
es of clean litter on the floor of the
poultry house. This helps to prevent
the birds feet and fluff feathers from
becoming soiled.
Third, keep clean, dry wood shaw
ings in the nests. These absorb the
moisture, are cheap, and can easily
be cleaned out from time to time.
Fourth, clean out the nests whenev-
err they become wet or filthy, or when
eggs break in them.

quartermaster corps will quickly

The quartermasters of our regular
army, though few in number and han
dicapped in a thousand ways, are am
ong the best the world has ever pro-
duced. But they are but a drop in the
bucket to the vast number of trained
men who will be required if we are
ever called upon to place an army of
a million men in the field in defense
of our country.
The editor of this paper abhors war
in its every phase. 1t is barbarous,
demoralizing and destructive of all
that is best and MODEST in mankind.
But as a patriotic American citizen
we cannot wilfully close our eyes to
the fact that we are a nation so rich
as to tempt the cupidity of an ag-
gressor, and so weak as to be helpless
in the repelling of attack and in the
safeguarding of our hard earned pos
sessions.
Let US have no weak links in the

WHAT ONE MEMBER OF A
BOARD OF EDUCATION OF A
RURAL TOWNSHIP THINKS OF
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW

At a meeting of the Boards of Edu.
cation of Cumberland County, Mr.
Charles Wray, for twenty-five years
a member Of the Board of Education
Of Buena Vista Township, Atlantic
County, read an interesting and in
structlve paper on the enforcement
of the compulsory attendance law in
his township. An extract from Mr.
Wray's address follows:
Our Board of Education, however
seldom invoked the terrors of the law
Other inducements were tried to in
crease attendance, such as making
the schoolrooms pleasant and inter
esting, forbidding corporal punish
ment, and introducing what is known
as "busy" handwork. The teachers
offered inducements for regular at
tendance and good behavior by giving
pretty cards or other inexpensive ar
%ticles, by inscribing the names of wor-
thy pupils on an honor roll displayed
publicly in the schoolroom, by I'M
stinted words of praise, by visits to
the homes of pupils, both as a mean
of getting in touch with parents and
also to ascertain the validity of ex-
cuses given for absences. The Board
purchased a banner to be displayed
publicly for a month in the room OF
the class holding the record for the
best attendance during the previous
school month. At the end of the
term a book was presented to each
pupil whose attendance record was
/ perfect, a book not costing quite as
much was given to each pupil who
had missed but n day, and certifi-
Gates of merit to those not missing
more than five days.
Notices were sent to offenders as
in the previous school year but the
after proceedings were varied by ar
resting the most fragrant and persis-
tent offender, prosecuting him before
a justice of the peace and having him
fined. There was no need to arrest
another.
At the end of the school term the
record showed an increase Of 27,00C
days in attendance. That outcome
was sufficient to make each and every
member of the Board an enthusiastic
supporter of the fullest enforcement
of the law in all the years since that
time.
During November last every school
made a gain in attendance, the four
highest averages being 99.6, 99.1, 98.9
and $751;.
1t appears to me that the Board OF
| Education has no greater duty than
to enforce attendance at the public
schools. If education is a good thing
our children ought to have every OPP
p%ortunity to acquire it. In the mat
ter of compulsory attendance I have
changed my views radically, and ]
am now satisfied that it is one of the
best measures, if not the very best
the State Board of Education has
ever advocated, and one that cannot
fail TO wonderfully help u children.

BUILD A BIRD HOUSE" is
NEW CONSERVATIVE SLOGAN

Give the boy a bird house instead of
a gun for a Christmas gift is the adj
vice offered to parents by William A.
Logue, of Bridgeton, a New Jersey
Fish and Game Commissioner who
takes an active interest in the work
of bird and game conservation in his
state. The commissioner believes
that conservation is largely a matter
of education, and that the best re-
suits come from starting the child on
the right path.
If a young boy is given a gun, he
may take to killing all sorts of wild
creatures without restriction, eX-
plains Commissioner Logue. On the
other hand, if he is given a bird house
and can attract wild birds to become
its occupants, he develops a whole
some love for the birds, studies their
ways and learns the economic impor-
lance of protecting them.
When a boy builds or is given a
bird house of any of the models now
marketed by many concerns and puts
it up in a suitable location where a
wren or robin or flicker will rent it,
he is taking an important step in
wild-bird protection, says the COM
missioner. The boy soon learns to
watch and care for his ~feathered ten
ants. He will also learn to put out
food for his bird friends if a heavy
snow comes during the Winter. He
becomes a protector, both of song and
game birds, and will help rid the COM
munity of stray cats, which are the
| worst enemies of our birds.
The New Jersey Fish and Game
Commission has recommended a COM
bined celebration of Bird and Arbor
Day each Spring. In preparation
for this event, the building of bird
houses during the Winter months and
their erection in trees in the neigh
borhood, the commission suggests, can
be made an interesting, profitable
and educational feature of the work
of rural, suburban and manual train
ing schools, rural Young Mems Chris
tan Associations, Boy Scouts and 9TH
er boys and girls organizations
throughout the state.

GIVE YOUR WIFE A
SQUARE DEAL.

In the December American Maya
zine a contributor to the department
on "The Family's Money" tells how
he and his wife have solved the prob
lem of domestic expenses.
"When my wife and | were first
married." he says, eve experienced
some difficulty in the handling of my
salary. My wife would often want
little things, and would hesitate to
ask me for the money fearing that l
would think them silly. Again, she
would need clothes occasionally and
would not wish to ask for them, be-
lieving that either | could not afford
Often | would see things that | de-
sired, but many times would not buy
them because | could not afford to
spend a like amount on her.
$50 we devised a method of divid-
ing the money. Upon receiving my
salary, twice a month, l pay whatever
household bills that are on hand
such as rent, coal, groceries, light,
etc. The balance l divide, giving half
to my wife and retaining the other
half myself. Then we each pay half
the daily incidental expenses of the
house, being very exact, even to the
purchase of a yeast cake. Personal
expenses, such as clothes, car fares,
etc, we each pay from u own
halves. If we go out for a days pleas
ure I pay the bills, and upon u re-
turn I figure what I have spent and
my wife pays me her half. Thus
each of us has half my salary, each
pays half of the household expenses
and each has half of the balance for
