Keep Poultry Records.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 1s.-Chicks
hatch in sacks on the agricultural col
lege poultry farm. On the eighteenth
day after the hen is set the eggs are
put in individual mosquito netting
sacks. This is done so that when the
chicks hatch each one will stay with
his shell.
On the twenty-second day the
chicks are taken out of the incubator
and unsacked. Each shell has a num-
ber on 1.-THE number of the hen,
that laid the egg. This number is
placed on the records. A numbered
band is put on the chick and recorded
with the former number. All records
of the egg production and fertility CT
the parentage of the chicks are com

KNOW HOW PORK fastest
a Matter of Imagination and Senti

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 1S.-"Taste
is largely a matter of imagination,
largely a matter of sentiment" was
the statement made by H. w. Davis,
associate professor of the English
language in the agricultural college.
He spoke to the student assembly on
advertising Things to Eat" Mr..
Davis teaches agricultural advertising
and has had practical experience in
the advertising field.
People do not know what tastes
are said Professor Davis. How
many adjectives have you in your vo-
cabulary which are descriptive of
taste? The meat tasting game is very
interesting and you should try it at
your next party. Suppose you take
any number of individual meats and
chop them up. Do not season them,
but get them to looking as much alike
as possible, and then pass them
around and see how many will be able
to distinguish the different kinds of
meat"
