WHICH BREED is THE BEST
Careful Considerations Should Be
Given the Selection.

(By Richard ~ Crane, Division OF Elk
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
At this season of the year. whether
we be poultry farmers or general farm
ers, we should have at least roughly
made UP our mind as to the number
OF chickens we will endeavor to- raise
this year.
There are several things that we
ought to consider before starting eur
incubating operations:
Flrst-Are we entirely satisfied with
the breed of poultry that we now
have in our yards?
Second-Does this breed OF poultry
meet the requirements of our special
purposes?
In other words, If we are ambitious
to produce large quantity of eggs for
market and do not care to produce
roasting chickens, we ought to decide
on a breed that will be the most eco
nomlcal producer of eggs While on
the other hand, If we purpose produc-
ing market poultry as well as eggs,
is the breed we now have the most
economical producers of high-class
broilers and roasting chickens, and
are they as good egg producers as 1t
would be possible for us to have, and
yet get first quality market poultry?
Fit is eggs we want to produce, lay
ing little or no stress upon the market
poultry side, we viii in all probability
end that some OF the Mediterranean
breeds, such as the Leghorns, Minorcas,
Anconas and Andelusians, will be the
most economical producers, while. il
1t be eggs and market poultry, we will
find American breeds. such as Ply
mouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds, Orp-
ingtOns, Buckeyes and Wyandottes.
would best suit our requirements.
SO, before starting this years incu-
batting, let us decide definitely what
We want to do in the future in the
poultry yards. and let us not be chang
ing breeds from one year 70 another,
but, after definitely deciding on the
one breed, let rs strive to make our
focks as large as we can, and produce
good profits.

DOES YOUR CHILD SUCK ITS
THUMB?

1t is very seldom that we see 9
straight, well formed mouth. Some.
times it is spoiled by protruding teeth
sometimes by a large over-hanging
upper jaw, generally we find the up
per lip much larger than the lower.
This is not, as might at first be sup
posed, a characteristic in the Ameri-
can people, just as fiat noses are a
characteristic of the negro race. 1t is
due to one Of the most unfortunate
habits that can be formed in childhood
the sucking of the thumb.
The bones Of the baby's jaw are eX-
tremely plastic and are subject to al
most any amount Of deformity by
Ing continued impact and strain. If
even as soft an object as the thumb is
placed in the mouth for any length of
time the inevitable result win be that
the upper jaw and the teeth will be
pushed out of place.
Many mothers are aware of the dan
ger in making such habit, and they
resort to what they think is the next
best thing-which is orally the next
worst thing-the pacifer Imagine a
bit of hard rubber and ivory in
childs mouth during all the waking
hours, and many times its sleeping
ones. 1t is nothing more or less than
an instrument which rapidly and skill
fully dislocates the teeth and jaws.
A child should not be permitted to
carry any object in its mouth aside
from the rubber nipple of its bottle
and even here care should be taken to
see that it is removed promptly after
the feeding is over.
1t is not easy to prevent the baby
from putting its finger in its mouth,
as his is more OF less of natural in
clisation:f In rare extreme cases it is
NECESSARY to tie the hands. Many
Many parents put bitter solution on
the fingers, which is sufficiently dis
this is doubtful procedure and one to
resort to only at the advice of a physi-
cian.-Popular Science Monthly.

II has been frequently asked why
the great a OF the ~yernaeular
press Is or the side Of the Allies.
In examining the reasons we must.
above all, remember the role the
Metropolis plays In the life OF the
nation. Whatever is done Ia New
York Is Initiated everywhere. There
was a red light crusade" here
several years ago and soon every
little village in America had Its vice
Investigation. A more recent In.
stance Of the Influence Of New York
is the plattsburgh camp. II has
been initiated in almost every State
of the Union. When, therefore, the
big dsiliea" OF the Metropolis direct
IL upon the outbreak Of the war
condemned Germany. It was to be
expected that a host Of other papers
would follow. IL is true, some big
newspapers outside OF New York
have retained their independent judg.
ment as for instance, Chicago
Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle,
Detroit Free Press, 81. Louis Times
and some Cincinnati and Milwaukee
papers,
ii is we'll knogn why most OF the
"big dailies' here are On the side Of
the Allies. The publisher Of The
New York Herald has been living
IN France for IS years and he is SO
much identified with everything
French that in his Paris Herald he
calls the French army "our" army.
The publisher Of The Tribune has
a near relative in King Edwards
household. The gentlemen directing
The New York Times are engaged
In many enterprises in England
notably in the Marc0ni company.
Socially ambitious, the pulitzers Of
The World have attempted TO con
duet their paper so as 10 remain in
good standing with the Newport
colony without, however, forgetting
what is due 10 their readers, VI
whom many are COMMUNICATIONS
Of the second generation.
Notwithstanding Of the attitude
OF these publishers and the inclina-
ton In the provincial press 10 ape
New York. the events Of the war
and its causes would have found
more discriminating aud critical treat
ment II the average American news
papermau were not so hupelessly
Ignorant in all European or rather
Continental affairs. The writer's
employed on the daily press T
recruited from three classes: college
men, ~compusitors and Office boys.
Up to about % years ago the men
graduated from the case" were
predominant. Young men in small
newspapers began with sticking
type became reporters and drifted
to larger cities. There are stfll a
fair sprinkling OF them In the news
paper Offices hero, but most Of the
writer's now are college bred. How
ever, ii it comes to European affairs,
both classes are equally ignorant
Very few Of them have a reading
knowledge Of any fOreisa language.
and ii is certainly a fact that not a
dozen newGpapermen IN New York,
employed on dailLes, can read Eng.
lish. French and German. The con
sequence is that almost the entire
press Of New York has to depend
on London for its news and views
on things on the Continent. 1t Is
unthinkgble that In any editorial Office
In Germany or other European
countries a man should be employed
who cannot read ut least Il foreign
language, aud over there no such
thing could happen as is related Of
