Care Of Matching Eggs.

Eggs to be used for Matching should
be gathered at least once day. Twice
daily or oftener is better II there Is
danger OF freezing or severe chilling.
or II they are liable to become muddy
from feet OF hens or set on by broody
hens during the day. The egg Is laid
for one purpose only: the Matching OF
chick. Help this purpose along by
taking proper care of the egg before
setting. The fresher the eggs are at
time OF setting the better. However.
eggs can be kept ten to twelve days
before setting. When this Is done
they should be kept in cool, reason
ably dry place away from the suns
rays and turned once daily. A temper.
ature OF so degrees to 60 degrees II. is
right for keeping the eggs. Avoid
keeping them many days, as the vi.
taiity of the living germ Is lowered by
holding. Do not keep the eggs In a
temperature above so degrees +. Sc
lect for Matching the kind OF eggs you
wish to produce. The size. shape and
color OF the eggs are inherited char.
icteristics. Select well proportioned
eggs. You cannot tell the sex OF the
chicken an egg will produce by Its
shape.

Allies Refuse 10 Disarm Vessels;
Notice Is Expected Soon

Washington, d. C.--The entente al
lies have agreed to inform the United
States that they cannot accept the pro-
posal in Secretary Lansing's recent
circular memorandum that a modus
vivendi be entered into for the disarm-
ament Of belligerent-owned merchant
ships. Conferences between the allies
on this subject have ended and formal
replies are expected in the near future.
Advices to the State department
from the embassies at London, Paris
and Rome some time ago made il ap-
parent that the disarmament plan had
met with no favor, and the department
has been proceeding on the assumption
that it would be rejected.
The United States does not question
the right and international law Of mer-
chantmen to arm for defense. Dis
armament by agreement was proposed
purely as humanitarian expedient on
account of the development Of subma-
rine warfare.

means of these stations no traveller
could ever become stranded at great

telephone station. from which he could
call for relief. A traveller will be able
to procure an instrument at either end
of the route by paying a small deposit

Farmers of Northwest
Refuse to Sell Wheat

Reports from the Northwest wheat
markets are that it was impossible to
buy. The largest dealers did not APP
pear to be in the market, but there
was fair demand from other quar-
tiers, but farmers could not be interest
ed to the point of selling. Bids were
unchanged at interior points, but on
the Portland exchange the prices
offered were / cent to 2 cents under
those of few days ago, as a conse-
quence of the easier trend at Chicago.
March promises to be an interesting
month in the Northwestern markets.
1t is understood that large quantity
of wheat has been sold for shipment
to the East during the month, and
it is not believed the sales have been
covered to any great extent. With
farmers in holding mood and likely
to continue SO, full prices may have to
be bid to get the necessary supply.
March shipments are expected to equal
those of recent months. Unsold stocks
in the Northwest are variously esti-
mated at from Is, 600, 900 to 20, 000,-
900 bushels. But little more wheat
will be bought to come this way,
aside from probably $500, 90 to 8, 000,-
900 bushels that California will take,
and the remainder, if sold, will have
to go East. 1t will be large guam

trade. The prospects are that much
wheat will be carried over, perhaps
more than in any former year.
