EARLY HATCHING PAYS BEST
Farmer Loses Much Profit on Eggs by
Not Giving Young Stock Sufi-
cent limo to Mature.

(By PROF H. L. KEMPsTER. Univcr-
slty of Missouri College OF Agricul-
ture)
The poultry keeper who expects to
get eggs next winter must have his
chickens hatch early this spring. 1t re-
quires from five to seven months for
three to five pound hen to mature 80
that she will lay. Then hen Of the
heavier breeds such as Rocks, Reds.
Wyandottes, etc, Weighing from five
to eight pounds each require from one
to three months longer. This Is based
on the assumption that tho chicks are
kept growing we'll during the summer
months. The Missouri farmer loses
large profits from winter eggs because
he does not give his young stock suf,
iiclent time to mature before winter
sets in. This prevents his flock be-
Ing productive during the winter
months
Unless \ pullet Is laying In Decem,

TO lay much until February, according
to experiments at the Missouri agrl.
cultural station This shows the neces,
sity of Matching early. II the hatch is
completed by May 10 there remains
but seven months In which to mature
the pullets If winter eggs arc ex-
pected, the hatch should be completed
before that time, Egg records show
that early laying pullets-Novcmber
and DeCember-are the ones that
mako the high egg yields and also lay
eggs at the time Of the year when
the price IS the highest
Early Matching is important, not
only from the standpoint Of next years
winter egg yield but also because the
early hatched chick comes from
stronger eggs, and the chicks get a
start before the extreme hot weather
arrives. For those two reasons the
poultrykeeper should exert every en-,
ergy to get off the hatch as soon as
possible,

fee, or wherever he is employed, or
touch elbows with them coming and
going through the crowded thorough
fares. II there is sufficient attraction
at home for him all attempts to draw
him into a Irritation are useless.
In glancing at other attractive femi-
nine faces, the thought comes to him
that the wife at home eagerly await
ing his coming is more attractive still.
Wives have it in their power to at
tract their husbands or repel them to
a far greater degree than they think
possible. II she meets him with a
frown, he may attempt to mollify her
the hrst few times with explanations
and kisses. But it will be an old story
to him afterward. She can make all
the complaints or threats to him she
likes and he will not even hear them.
lie VIII be thinking of something else,
perhaps another woman with whom he
has been brought in contact that day
whose every word was honeyed and
whose lips wore a continual smile.
The complaining. fretful wife by de-
grees loses her hold upon the man
who likes love, gayety and frivolity
at times showered upon him. There's
a never-ending talk of woe on her lips
from baby being cross, crying all day
from cutting his teeth, to fussing over
all the work she has to do. She should
be prepared for his impatient retort,
Would you have the youngster go
without teeth to escape the pain Of
cutting them?" And, as for the work,
people who cannot afford to keep a
maid must expect such duties will fall
to their lot Grumbling doesn't mend
matters or do the washing and the
ironing.
BY merest chance the other woman
who by the way Is a widow-chats
brightly about home work and makes
light Of the work she has to do. She
does not even mention her troubles,
but leaves 1t to be imagined that her
life Is one grand, sweet song. Her
conversation soothes an irritated man
instead of stirring him up.
1t is fatal for wife's happiness for
her husband to wish she had the low.
ing temperament Of some other wom
an. A husband is supposed to be the
sharer Of his wifes joys and SORROWS.
The more of her sorrows she can es-
cape telling him of, asking him to
shoulder them. the better she is off.

VALIDITY TEST WILL PROBABLY
BE MADE ON THE HEMP.
HILL LAW.
JUDGE ORDERS DISMISSAL
Counsel For Revenue Agent Johnston
Disse sented-Case viii Doubtless
Come Up On ConsttutionaIity
of Legislative Act.


-JdCkSOu.
One Of the first of the acts of the
legislature Of 1916 to reach the su-
preme court for validity test will
probably be the Hamphill law, which
seeks to clip the wings Of the state
revenue agent, or the former state
revenue agent, by abatement of GER
tain causes arising out of acts of that
official which are now pending in
several counties throughout the state.
The act which is under scrutiny was
introduced and worked through the
legislature by Senator Hemphill after
one Of the stiffest fights In both of
the branches staged during the ses.
sion.
Its purpose, as declared was to in
validate all back tax suits filed by ]. C.
Johnston, state revenue agent, during
the last administration, to compel mer-
chants and cotton buyers to pay
holding privilege tax on all cotton held
unsold after Feb. l. for a period Of
six years, ending with 1914.
The first cases gotten at were en-
tered in Warren county, and recently
Judge E. l.. Brien in open court en-
tered an order Of dismissal of all the
suits, agreeably to the provisions of
the new act. TO this counsel for Mr..
Johnston dissented, thereby laying
the predicate for an appeal
The case will doubtless come up on
the constitutonality of the act of the
legislature, and the brief for the ap-
pellant will be prepared by ex-Gov. A.
II. Longino, representing former Reve-
nue. Agent Johnston.
The question of constitutionality
was quite thoroughly threshed out in
the legislature and in support of the
validity OF the act opinions were read
by such lawyers as Judge VIII c.
Mclean of Grenada, Hon. Edward
Mayes Of Jackson and Gen. T. C.
Catchings Of Vickbsurg, backed up by
the legal learning among the legisla-
tors themselves, including Senator w.
M. Wilmington. 1t is considered quite
likely that special counsel will be ell
gagged to assist the attorney general
in the pending fight for the validity of
the abatement act.

ANOTHER WOMAN'S WAY.

How does woman love? Once, no more.
Though life forever Its loss deplore
Deep In sorrow, or want. or sin.
One king reigneth her heart within.
One alone. by night and day,
Moves her spirit to hate OF pray.
Because a man has placed a mar.
riage ring upon a woman's finger she
should not take 1t for granted that his
love for her is so blind he will never
be able to regain his normal eyesight
that is, to see her as other folks see
her, with all lovers delusions swept
aside.
Though he is safely in the matrimo-
Mai net, wife should not take it for
granted that her efforts to please
should be cast aside carelessly as a
pair Of old gloves that have had their
use and are no longer needed. No

may be, the masculine heart is usually

This is the time Of year when farm
ers and stockmen should exercise an
unusual degree Of care in order to
avoid disease among their hogs, warns
Or f. S. Schoenlcber. professor Of
veterinary medicine in tho Kansas
state Agricultural college.
What should be done 10 prevent
cholera, swine plague, and other hog
diseases? Should the farmer feed one
OF the many disease prcyentivos adver-
tised on the market or should no vac.
cinato the hogs? These are some Of
the many questions that come in from
Kansas farmers IF the herd shows
no sign Of infection, do neither" is the
advice Of Doctor Schoenleber Clean
up says he, not only the lots and
pens, but the premises This should
be dono under the supervision OF
veterinarian or somo other person who
has n knowledge OF baCteriolOgy and
sanitation No one else will do the
Job properly"

this manner each year, points out this
authority, not only spino diseases.
but all other stock diseases would
eventually be largely eliminated. This
fact cannot be too strongly en-.
phasized, and farmers should be will

ncous method" says Doctor Schoenle-
| bcr. This guarantees immunity from
| cholera for six years The serum
can be obtained from the agricultural
college and any veterinarian can do
the yaccinatng, The cost ranges from
20 to 30 cents for shoats up to $1.25
for heavy hogs.
Tho whole problem Of preventing
disease and having healthy, thrifty
hogs is, however, one of sanitation.
When tho farmers learn that hogs
respond to good care as quickly as
people, and are almost as susceptible
to disease, they will take better care
Of them and will have far fewer
losses.
AT present there Is hardly a vicin.
ity In Kansas where hogs are grown
to any extent, that has not some dis
ease. Tho same drastic measures
should be taken to free the state OF
hog cholera that arc used with foot
andmouth disease, glanders, or any
other fatal stock disease.
There are scarcely any herds OF
hogs in this or any other state that
are not infected moro or less with
parasites. There Is much danger dur
ing the first two months of the fall
from the feeding of green corn, since
1t has natural tendency to lower the
vitality OF growing hogs. These two
facts, coupled with cold weather and
confinement, make the contraction of
disease easy If germs are brought into
tho lots"

Want Troop Camp.

Men of the military arm Of the pub.
lie service of Mississippi are taking
a considerable interest in the subject
of a 1916 state troop encampment
and incidentally the question of Sc.
lecting tentative mobilization site
Brig Gen. Scales, adjutant general
of the national guard, with his asso-
ciate officers, has been engaged in the
work Of looking up suitable sites for
the concentration, mobilization or ma.
neuver camps, and several ideal spots
have been visited.
Some of these are in the neighbor.
hood of Jackson and for general pur-
poses of either debarking or entrain
ing troops they are considered to be in
every way worthy of consideration
number of officers, field and staff
have visited headquarters recently,
and it is probable that the matter of
selecting camp will be taken up and
settled shortly. While Jackson people
have not been exerting themselves in
the matter, other towns and commun-
tiles have been doing some effective
advance work.
Notably is this true of Biloxi, Vicks-
burg, Meridian, Columbus and Gulf
port, while both Meridian and Vicks
burg would like To secure the oroposed
mobilization camp.
The Jackson board of trade direct
ors and the Young Mems BUSINESS
Club have considered the matter in a
more or less tentative way, but, as it
appears to the officers who must take
the preliminary steps, the local organ
izations will have to hustle some in
order to compete with other communi-
ties whose official and civic bodies are
already doing consistent work.

FRESH MEAT is A NECESSITY
No Reason Why Farmers Family

More farmers. 1t Is belived, would

10 hogs enough for bacon, few pigs.
calves, lambs and kids for fresh meat
during the year There is no reason
why the farmers family should be de-

can be raised for this purpose on the
farm. This will require pasture crops

for. What law is there to require a

Yet, in the face OF the lessons they
were supposed to have learned, how
intolerant they are, ofttimes, concern
ing the love affairs of their children.
Love for their sons and daughters and
cool, sensible judgment have upset
many youthful love craft when they
collided
Many parent has made strenuous
objection to the suit of young man
who was earnestly enamored of girl,
for no less reason than he lived In
distant town and the daughters mar
riage to him would mean separation
from her, seeing her but rarely, having
her pass out Of their lives, as 1t were,
save for her letters, which might come
to them like angels visits few and far
between. The daughter Is hidden to
discourage his attentions, choosing in.
stead sutor In her own home town.
1t Is not 30 easy to estrange hearts
that were intended for each other. The
girl may bend to the decree Of par
entail authority, which she believes to
be duty. but 1t Is quite another matter
to become as interested in any other
man. True love cannot be easily up-
rooted from the heart. The girl may
dutifully give up the one man who ap-
peals to her. This may content the
parents, but what about the daughter?
She may live thereafter life of single
blessedness uncomplainingly, yet Ia
the after years, even though the par.
ents may realize they were in grave
error In influencing her life, that does
not atone for the weary years she
must pass after they have left her.
1t is clearly the duty of parents to
give this side Of the subject careful
study. They have had their youthful
romance which eliminated in mar
riage, therefore they should put them
selves in the daughters place and
reason out the disappointment their
disagreement to approve of her choice
means to her.
Providing lover is worthy and the
girl cares for him, even though il
means separation-aye, the breadth of
the world apart-each parent should
be brave enough to meet the situa-
tion. Young folks must marry and go
their ways. 1t will be so until the
end of time. II taking daughter a
long distance away from them Is the
only objection they can have against
wooer, 1t Is poor peg to hang preju- |
dice upon. Those who have been mar
