GOOD REPRODUCTION HINTS
Presence Of Male Bird Has No Influ-
ence on Number of Eggs Laid
Infertile Eggs Best.

Produce the infertile eggs.
Lnfertile eggs are produced by hens
having no male bird with them.
Removing the male bird has no in
fiuence en- the number of eggs laid
by hens.
The hens greatest profit-producing
period is the first and second years,
and unless a hen is an exceptionally
good breeder she should be disposed
Of at the end of her second laying
season and before starting TO mott.
Few eggs can be expected until the
pullets are matured.
If possible. mark the pullets that
lay in the fall, and use them in the
breeding pen for the following spring.
Soft-shelled eggs are often caused
by fowls being confined, becoming
overfat. and from lack of mineral
matter.

CHICKENS NEED GREEN FOOD
Cabbage Tied 20 Stake Is Excellent
Long stuff Is Liable to Cause
Trouble With Hens.

When green food is given to hens in
confinement II should always be cut
or chopped fine. A cabbage tied to
a stake is excellent. but a variety is
better.
White clover. red clover, lawn grass,
tops Of vegetables, or even young
corn fodder, will be relished by the
hens IL chopped into short lengths so
that they can easily eat II.
Long food sometimes causes the
hens to become crop bound.

Mail Carriers May
Have to Toll Sunday
To Handle the Rush

The Christmas rush is on at the
postofice.
Additional clerks have been placed
in the lobby of the building weighing
and in other ways aiding persons in
sending off their Christmas presents
early.
Fifty-four additional clerks and
special delivery boys have already
been hired. Besides this, there will
be the usual rumber of substitute car
riers and extra help on the wagons
and automobiles.
To insure the delivery Of mail be-
fore or on Christmas, postoffice Off
cials declare that the gifts should be
mailed at least week or ten days
ahead of time. According to Post
master Tanning, there is over six
times more mail handled around
Christmas than during ordinary pc
RODS, and because Of this it is prac-
tically impossible to get all the gifts
out on time if persons send them in
the last two or three days.
A good plan, according to the post
master, is TO mail Christmas pack
ages now and write on the gift, Not
to be opened until Christmas" In
this way he believes that a great deal
OF the congestion might be avoided.
Christmas comes the day after
Sunday, and the postmaster said that
in all probability the carriers would
have to put in the entire Sunday get
ting the presents out.

methods.
SafetyMargins Now1O
Three years ago Mr.. Bate started out
to double our margins Of safety. They
had been so per cent-a standard then
called extreme. Now every part has
twice the needed strength.
There are over 40 parts made of
toughened steel. All parts which get
major strain are built OF Chrome-Vana-
dunn. The most important parts are
also oversize.
The result is a lifetime car. Every
common weakness has been overcome.
Even the problem of breaking springs
seems to be solved completely. Not
one Bate cantilever spring has ever
yet been broken. And we have used
them for two years now.

Impression Of Newly Found Patriotic
Towel of Probable Great Age.

designed to be sold to the patriotic
settlers of the American wilds, pos
sibly by rowing peddlers. 1t is her
opinion that this particular towel may
have formed a part Of a set, possibly
consisting of tablecloth, napkins, and
other towels, and that it alone, by
strange chance, has survived the gen
erations. 1t came to her through an
elderly woman of German extraction,
who received it from her parents. It
had been in her family as long as she
can remember, and no particular value
was attached to it, for it was in con-
slant daily use.
The designing of the towel is most
elaborate, and despite its great age,
the various elements of the scheme
stand out plainly and distinctly. The
lettering alone is somewhat faint in
some lights, but with care in handling
can be clearly deciphered as the light
falls at the proper angles. The ele-
ments in the design are American
eagles, shields of the nation and other
devices Of patriotic nature cunningly
woven together. The length of the
towel is SO inches, and it's breadth 10
! inches.
The inscription follows:
"The independence of the United
States of America Declared July 4,
1776-Washington Elected President
of the Federal Union March, 1889

NAMED old GLORY
Massachusetts Sailor, Captain
Stephen Driver, So Christened
the Starry Banner.

Il ~ LID GLORY" was so chris
tened by Capt. Stephen
y Driver, a very pronounced
~ Union man, who was born
In Salem, Mass, March IT, 1903. He
was presented by the citizens of Sa-
lem with large American flag when
about to sail from his home port as
commander of the brig Charles Dog
gett in 1881. AS it was hoisted to the
masthead and spread itself to the
breeze, in burst of patriotic ardor he
christened it "Old Glory" and that
was the name he afterward used for it.
After having been his daily compan-
ion and sharer Of adventures and per-
lis on the deep for a half century,
Capt. Driver took it with him to Ten
nessee, where he made his home in
Nashville, after retiring from a seafar-
ing life, and where he died March 8,
1886.
During the war he was provost mar
shall Of Nashville, and did much active
work in the hospitals. He was out
spoken in his feelings during these
days Of civil disagreement, and his
southern partisan neighbors felt spe-
cial zeal to get possession Of his much
Wanted "Old Glory" but they repeat
eddy searched his home and garden in
vain.
The old captain assured them that
they would see it again only when it
floated over a reunited Union. In or
der to preserve it until such time the
captain, clever, as are most men of
