ENGLISH PuREsRgD WHITE LEeHoRN FOWLS.

In an experiment conducted by the
Canada experiment farms to determine
the number of eggs that would be fer
tilted with one mating only, five fer
tilted eggs appeared to be the maxi
mum. In a fertility test following II
hours mating it was apparent that
this method was more conducive to re-
suits than the one mating only proved
TO be. In trials to determine the in
crease of pen fertility after the intro
duction of the male, maximum fertil-
ity, 100 per cent, was reached in pull
let pen SIX days after mating, and oc-
Cured three times in q period of 81
days. The same fertility was reached
in a pen of old hens on the eleventh
day after introducing the male, but the
fertility increased more rapidly and
continued great deal stronger in the
pullet pen than in the pen of old hens.
One male was also kept with A White
Leghorn hens. Though the percentage
of fertility was highest when only 56.S
per cent of the hens were laying, the
total hatch was only 1873 per cent.
When 1914 per cent of the pen were
laying, the total hatch was 4S.1 per
cent and the fertility 87.7 per cent. In
other tests without mating again fer
tility could not be traced in eggs laid
after hens had been broody for any
length of time.
Cooling Eggs.
In an experiment to determine the
best method of cooling eggs in an in
cubator, the eggs in an incubator con-
tanning eight trays We're cooled for

RETARDS WINTER EGG LAYING
Shut Off Egg Supply-Good Treat
ment Recommended.

Freezing of the hens comb will re-
tard egg laying. Freezing of the feet
of fertility in the spring. Often the
sudden freezing of the. combs of hens
that have made good start at laying
will shut off all laying by them for
the rest of the winter Frozen or
nipped combs should be looked for
early and the comb dipped in ice-cold
water or packed with snow. Afterward
apply glycerin and some healing salve.

No Peace for Him.

Willie was out walking with his
mother, when she thought she saw
boy on the other side of the street max
ing faces at her darling.
Willie" asked mother, SIS that hor-
rid boy making faces at your?
"He is" replied Willie, giving his
coat a tug. ''Now, mother, don't start
any peace talk-you just hold my coat
for about five minutes"

MOULDY AND DECAYING FOOD
Kills and Injuries More Young and Old
Stock Than Any Other Cause
Poor Economy.

Mouldy, sour and decaying food kills
and Injuries more young and old stock
than almost any other cause. 1t Is
poor economy TO have few cents
worth of spoiled food and lose several
dollars worth of chickens frova the
poisonous effects of the food.

Everything Matters.

Christianity is not mans confession
to God that nothing matters, since man
is what he is. 1t is Gods shout to
man that everything matters, since
God sees in man what man may be-
come.-W. Fl. Blake.

Good Christmas Motto.

Peace on earth, and good
will to men," is the Christmas
motto, and the Christmas spirit
should ring in our hearts and
find a kindly expression in acts
and words. What a joyful thing
for the world it would be if the
Christmas spirit of peace and
good will could abide with us
all every day of the year. And
what a beautiful place this
world would be to live in. And
it might be so if each one of us
would resolve in our hearts that
peace and good will should be
our motto every day, and that
we, individually, would do our
best to make the Christmas
spirit last all the year round.

"There's only one thing I ask" said
the loser of a freak election bet"
whats that" inquired the winner.
"If you're going to stand by and see
that eat all this molasses with a
toothpick, I want you to admit that
you won the bet and are insisting on
its payment. Don't you pretend that
you are my keeper"

BenevoIence VS.. Extravaaance.

The greatest obstacle to charity In
the Christian church today is the fact
that men expend so much on their
table and women so much on their
dress, they have got nothing left for
the work of God and the worlds bet

PROHIBITION KEPT
CAROLINA PROSPEROUS

Charlotte. N. C.. Oct. cs.-The adop-
ton OF prohibition in North Carolina
In 1908 has been followed by long
period OF unparalleled prosperity The
State has not only shared in the gen
eral progress OF the country. but
through the savings made possible by
prohibition has accumulated property
and increased It's real estate values
TO a point beyond the fondest hopes
Of the advocates OF prohibition
Under these conditions the build
ing and loan associations have pros
pered amazingly until they are now
the largest in the South. Labor con-
ditions have been Immensely improv-
ed 80 that many factory workers who
formerly were exploited by saloonists
have been able TO establish them selves
in their own homes, and put away sub
stantial savings
The readjustment was quickly made.
Ali the saloon sites In Charlotte were
quickly occupied by other businesses.
quite generally under the management
OF the men who formerly owned the
saloon.
Vice, crime. pauperism and disease
have decreased fully so per cent as
shown by the official records and as
testified to by many lawyers whose
practice In the criminal courts has
been greatly reduced.
For a time a determined, effort was
made by certain lawless elements in
the liquor trade, to override the pro-
hibitory statute. This resulted In a
vigorous drive against '.blockaders'
and booileggers. which sent the most
Influential OF them to the penitentiary
and drove the rest from the State.
The Illicit traffic in intoxications has
almost entirely disappeared under the
combined pressure of public opinion
and efficient administration OF the
law.

MARYLAND TOWN IS
READY TO ACT

Eliicott City, Md. Oct. 2s.-Other
towns in Carroll County have pros
pered so much and so uniformly With
out saloons that Ellicott City pro-
poses to rid itself Of these hindrances
to business, at the election Novem-
Der 7.
Taxpayers of this city have exerted
themselves to find out Just what has
been the effect of prohibition on other
towns Of this class in order that they
might be sure Of the effect prohibit
ton will have here.
Investigation has been extensive
and thorough. Not a single town has
been found where business conditions
have not improved within few
months after the change from wet to
dry.
Reports from drv towns in Carroll
County generally show that larger
proportion OF business is now done
on a cash basis and the moral and
physical conditions OF the town have
jumped beyond expectations.
All the leading business mon Of Mt.
Airy signed . statement declaring
without reservation that their busi-
ness has not In any way been ad-
versely affected by the closing Of the
HdlOOuB. lnGy ldstliiSd w
the general improvern emit in the morals
OF the community since the dry law
went into effect.
The Mt Airy Savings Bank says
that it's deposits have increased 20
per cent and general business has
grown so much that additional help
had to be employed This significant
sentence followed
Women and children can now walk
our streets without fear Of being tn
suited by the low products OF the
saloons"
The leading department store in
Sykesville reports the business in July
45 per cent in excess Of that last year,
three-fourths OF the increase being
cash business. In August !ts cash sales
showed an increase Of 81 1-2 per cent
over those of laRt year and credit
sales ! Ia per cent In septen Der
total sales showed an Increase of 1oa
per cent over the same month last
year. Nearly all OF the increase being
in cash sales.
The manager In closing his letter
says. Our sales on work shoes and
work clothing show. particularly
large increase. and we note that men
who formerly had no money. for These
necessities now are plentffully sup
piled. Better grade goods are also
demanded. so that today We have dss-
continued oil cheap goods"
