EGGS FOR INCUBATION
Uniformity in Size and Shape Is
OF Utmost Importance.
Smooth Shells, All White or Brown
Are Also DesirabIe--fso Way Of
Determining Fertility of Egg
Nor Sex of Chick

Eggs for incubation, either natural
or artificial, should be uniform in
size. with smooth shells of gooo tex
ture, according to n l.. Harris, super
intendent of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college poultry farm.
Irregularly shaped eggs win hatch
nearly as well as smooth-shelled eggs,
believes Mr.. Harris. 1t is not consid-
cred good practice, however, to set the
irregularly shaped eggs as there is
possibility that pullets Matched from
them win inherit the undesirable char
acteristic of producing poorly shaped
eggs.
AS rule it is not wise to place both
white and brown eggs in the same in
cubator, as the white eggs have ten
dency to hatch one or two days sooner
than those with brown shells. There
is nothing in the color of the shell
which affects the time of Matching, but
the small, quick maturing birds nearly
all lay white-shelled eggs. The en-
bryo chicks of these breeds will de-
velop more rapidly than those of the
heavier breeds.
Eggs that vary greatly in size should
never be set In an incubator as the
large eggs seem to receive more heat
due to projecting higher in the machine
than the smaller ones. Eggs with
shells Of poor texture which appear
porous, allow the moisture to evapo-
rate too readily and seldom, il. ever,
hatch.
There is absolutely no way of de-
termining the fertility Of an egg pre-
vious to incubation, nor is there any
thing in the shape of the egg which
viii indicate the sex of the chick.

War REEVES Old Trades.

One of the most interesting effects
of the war is the revival of various
old trades and industries, especially
in England. Charcoal burners are
busy making fuel for use in the
trenches; long-disused sawmills are
getting out timbers for dugouts; for
esters are making tent pegs clog
makers are fashioning wooden shoes !;
owners of willow plantations are cut
ting osiers for fascines and shell bas-
kets: but most interesting of all is the
revival of flint mapping, perhaps the
oldest industry in the world 1t is
said that the fiints are used to strike
light in the trenches.-Youth's Com
panion.

POULTRY RECORD is USEFUL
Breeder Should Know Definitely What
Fowls Cost and What They Pay
During Season.

Every poultry breeder should keep u
careful debit and credit account with
his fowls. He should know definitely,
not only that they pay, but how much
they pay. Such accounts need not be
elaborate. but they should be accurate.
Charge the fowls with all that they
consume and credit them with all that
they produce; the balance will be the
profit.
Not all of the profit, for no one can
measure in dollars and cents the pleas
ure that one gets from his flocks. and
that is big item in the real profits.

Dreaming With a Purpose
Is the Most Worth while
Of Youthful Occupations.

"Oh. he's only dreamer" This
sentence is often spoken in derision of
some young man or woman whose
visions appear impossible to those who
consider themselves more practical.
Yet the progress of the world is only
the working out of the visions of
dreamers. Joseph was called dream
er. His dreams were prophetic of the
service he was 10 render, not only to
his family, but to the civilization of his
day. But his brothers misunderstood
his dreams. perhaps understood rs lit
tie as did he himself at the time. and
because they could not understand
they hated him for having dreams and
placed him in the way of realization by
attempting to. get rid of him. says the
Christian Herald.
Dreaming is the most worthwhile
Of youthful occupations, If 1t is dream
ing with purpose. Idle dreams that
carry no inspiration to action are
worse than useless. Put, dreams that
include a purpose shape the destinies
of men and women. The young Car
field, treading the tow-path, dreamed
of education and of leadership. and
attained both. In every school and col
lege of the country young men and
women are held to their tasks by the
glorious vision of what they intend to
be and to do, and every year those
who have remained true to their visions
are making good in the pulpit and
press, in business and on the far-lung
battle line, where Christianity is writ
ing liberty and love into the constitu-
tons of ancient heathendoms.

URGE SAVING OF APPLE CROP,

The urgency for careful conserya-
tion OF the entire Michigan apple crop
this fall is pointed out in press
bulletin just issued by the department
of horticulture OF the Michigan Agrl-
cultural college. The fact that the
crop is much below normal, 1t is de-
clared by the fruit men, makes that
part OF it which has survived cores
pondingly more valuable.
Apples, and especially those of the
fall and winter varieties. are certain
TO be scarce this winter" the report
states, "and growers therefore should
be prepared to take the best possible
care OF such OF the crop as they
have, even II the fruit be neither very
large nor very good. Individuals who
have only a tree or two in the yard
should not allow the fruit to spoil
"Pick tho apples when they are well
colored, but hard and firm and when
the stem breaks clean from the twig
as the fruit Is lifted up and to one
-ai5e.
I'm the process Of picking and
handling the greatest caution should
be exercised, for every break and
bruise in the skin may mean decayed
fruit later in the season Never leave
the fruit on the ground, but place Il
at once In the darkest, coolest (but
not freezing) place you may have.
Cover with papers II the room Is not
darkened
"Since oranges also are going to bo
fewer than usual. IL behooyes every
person owning any late varieties of
apples to use every precaution TO keep
them for fresh fruit during the win
ter"

CAPSULE COURSE FOR FARM BOYS
Short Term to Run Thirty-two Weeks
At NJ. A. G. ON October 20.

A boiled down" course in agricul-
ture, In, which the usual four years
work will be Whitfield down to thirty
two weeks, will be offered at the
Michigan Agricultural college on DC
tober 30 for the benefit OF farm youths
OF the state. In the short course the
cream OF the four years term, en-
bodying the more or less directly
practical elements Of the college
work, VIII be given the attending
students.
The time for the abbreviated term
has been so arranged by M. A. G. that
Il will give boys from the country a
chance TO drop into East Lansing
when they can best be spared from the
farm. Thus the thirty-two weeks
course will cover period of two
years, the first sixteen weeks work
to be given between October 20 and
March / OF the coming winter uS17-
1879, and the second sixteen weeks
to be at the same time In 19iS-1s19,

this year will be graduated at the end
OF February 1919, though all told they
will be required TO spend only thirty
