an honorable young man, intensely In
terested in sweet girl, the daughter
of widow, who lives in nearby
town. My business keeps my nose to
the grindstone seven days out of the
week from early morning until nearly
nine at night. If l make the attempt
to call on this young lady, cannot
reach her home until nearly ten. 1t
would be useless for me to take off my
hat If / could not remain longer than
half an hour. You can judge how
quickly time can pass and, arriving
often at half after ten, / have re-
manned until almost one before noting

beginning to talk. Now, it's either
give the girl up or continue calling to
decide to the satisfaction of both If
we are sufficiently congenial to each

decide for me-"

Let it be known, however, that if the
girl sits up entertaining her guest la

of leave-taking her mother shelters her
good name by being always present,
and gossiping tongues will have little
to feed on.
An honorable young man will make
his decision under those circumstances

quit calling if he cannot see his way
clearly to matrimony. No greater I'M

Courtship extended into the wee

man who respects his sweetheart will
not indulge in such indiscretion. A
girl must respect herself If she de-
sires others to respect her. The girl

French Words In EnaIIsh,

Men have been trying to invent the
international language, and they have
all failed, but it is being formed nat
urally; the present international war
is helping to this end, and hundreds of
French words, which people use be-
cause they think they look nice, have
crept into the English language from
the battlefields.
William de Morgan is one of those
writer's who like to sprinkle their
pages with French, and l asked him
the other day. "Why do you scatter
French phrases through your workT'
Don't you like French words, Mr..
Moore?" he asked, and I said 81 avoid
Them" He was surprised and said !:
Il always like to put four or five
French words on page" William de
Morgan, you know, did not publish his
first novel until he was on toward
seventy, so l answered, Eyes, Mr.. de
Morgan, but you came late into liter

STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE
Just as True In Road Dragging as ia
Fence Repairing and Other Work
Around the Farm.

(By M. A r. KELLY. Missouri College
of Agriculture.)
"a stitch in time saves nine" Is just
as true In road dragging as In fence
fixing and other farm work. Don't let
the rush of farm work cause you to
neglect road dragging until the ruts
are so deep and the weeds have such
a start that the drag cannot do its
best work A little careful work now
and during the remainder of the sea-
son will not only keep the roads in
good shape but keep down the weeds
in such way to save great deal OF
work at Woodworking time.

POULTRY NOTES
Selecting PuIIets.

Selecting PuIiets
Not every poultryman can select laying men
by her appearance 1t is true students OF poul-
try husbandry are generally able TO do this, but
few farmers and poultrymen are unless they have
given the subject some attention
The following suggestions should be OF help to
you in enumerating some of the points In the
making of good laying hen But these points
will need to be verified. That Is, you must prac-
tice IL you would become q good judge or at least
learn how to select your own pullets for layers.
And 1t will be necessary for you to know how to
select If you are to improve your flock
Judging poultry is said to be finer art than
the selection of other farm animals. but the man

alert eyes and comb, face and wattles of fine tex
ture has taken the first step toward increased
egg production. Good pullets should stand square
on their feet, with legs wide apart with the from:
end of the body slightly higher than the poserior
end, and with long back and tail carried rather
high. The body should be wedge-shaped yielding
ample room for the reproductive and digestive
organs

protect the chick from HARM Ii shipped as soon
dried off, food will be required, for chicken
needs nothing to eat for the first two days OF
its existence after leaving the shell, being nour-
ished by the yolk of the egg which 1t has absorbed
For that reason. people who complain that the
practice of Withholding food is cruel wasting
their sympathies.
To just what extent these new developments
will revolutionize the poultry business of the
country no one can safely even guess. 1t is GER
tain, though, that hundreds of people who for
merly raised few chicks each season with hens
will now either send their Matching eggs to a
tom hatchery or buy day-old chicks The expense
is but little greater and hours of fussing with
broody hens eliminated People living In the
cities may keep hens in the back yard. for
they will need ROSTERS and thus avoid the COM
plants of neghbors and can keep breeds which
do not get broody.
One thing is certain, though. If the egg pro-
ducers are going to make the most of their OPP
portunities many of them will have to reform
their methods. The statement is made. apparently
with authority, that there is annual loss of
$45,000000 because of the improper handling Of
eggs. Much of this loss can be traced directly to
the producers-the men and women on the farms.
Such facts are responsible In part for the present
much-discussed high cost of living.
Many farmers let their eggs accumulate until
they get basketful, although 1t may take several
weeks. Fertile and infertile eggs are dumped In
Il
old hen Is shooed away and the half-incubated
eggs sold along with the others. This is the
why the average market egg Is unreliable.
Incubation has begun in fertile egg before it Is
laid. In few days traces of the embryo may
easily be discovered though the egg simply
be kept In warm room or allowed to remain In
the sun. Ordinarily the germ perishes, and
then the egg is quickly added to the rotten-egg
class. An unfertile egg may be kept for many
weeks without going bad although 1t may get
somewhat stale and consequently unfit for the
table.
Under the present system, the customer is pro-
,tected to a large extent by the big egg merchants
who examine the eggs which pass through theil
hands by means of test known as Gambling This
Gambling is highly important part Of the business
in most cities. and the care and expertness
with which the work is done depends the quality of
the product which the customer secures. The men
who candle eggs become remarkably expert-so
expert that they can handle two eggs In each hand
and grade them at a glance a they are passed
quickly before hole Ia tin shade placed before
a strong electric light.
Eggs from iocks which contain no male bird
except in the breeding win keep longer and
be better than those laid by hens with which
rooster Is running. Many people still hold to the
antquated belief that hens lay better If attended
by rooster. This Is pure fallacy In point
Of fact, the roosters annoy the hens and NAV

holes in them. If each farmer and au-
tomobilist would follow the example
set by that progressive community in
Washington. this state would soon
have much better roads, says Florida
Grower.
There Is an old saying that "a stitch
In time saves nine," and this applies
forcibly to keeping up roads. When
small hole appears fill it up. Don't
wait for the other fellow to do it, be-
cause rein may come along before
the fellow does, and by washing the
dust out leave a place for wheels
to drop in aud make the hole larger.
Rough roads are expensive for every
one travelling over them. Wagons suf-
fer as well as automobiles. The strain
soon racks the wheels, spring the -axles
and increase the draft of the wagon,
thus making it much harder on the
team.
Automobiles suffer more than wag-
ons because they travel at higher
speed. Springs, axles, wheels and all
parts suffer and the car is soon ready
for the junk heap.
DR.. w. G. Etheridge, professor of
agronomy in the University of Flor
ida College OF, Agriculture, Is very
much in favor Of the "chuck- hole
club" idea. and urges in addition that
farmers use the King drag on the road
along their property after each rain
