The latter, consisting Of q whole

thrust against Nome Solarolo and the

what it comes to. And they call
it patriotism. /
Patriotism Ye gods and little
fishes! One plain duty Of pat
riotism in war time is to keep the
pot a-boiling. Waste is wicked
but legitimate spending a virtue.
Within the bounds of reason, go
on spending. 1t promotes :" bust
ness as usual" It steadies the
state. And what applies to the
individual applies equally to mu-
inequalities, commemorative, and
the federal government. Let
there be no havoc wrought in the
building trade and its half dozen
allied industries in the name Of
patriotic economy. To put a per-
emptorv quietus on legitimate and
sorely needed public building nro-
jects is to SOW disorder, unrest,
and distress at the very time
when such calamnitics would work
a maximum Of mischief. Let us
keep our hair on. In avoiding
waste. let us also avoid the econ
omy that in the end spells ex-
travagance.

BUILDING IN WAR TIMES.

Editorial from the Chicago Tri-
gune, May 26th, 1917:
The Illinois legislature has
abandoned its plans for extensive
building operations in the state
departments and institutions, and
with the ear of faith we already
hear applause the country over.
Bravo Let cities, common
wcalths, and the federal govern
ment follow suit!
To which impending outbursts
we reply. "Be orthodox, brethren,
but don't be moro orthodox than
his holiness the pope Paris has
not suspended public building
operations because of the war.
Neither has Berlin. 10 curtall
such operations, if by curtailment
you mean putting check on wild
and wanton extravaganza, is
doubtless advisable. Self-con-
fessed pork barrel expenditures
must halt. and there are other
pork barrels besides the cele-
brated cask Of iniquity at Wash
ington. Pork kegs, we might term
them. States and cities have
each their own. Away with such
But not with the long projected
and long needed Improvements
that have an incontestable value.
Just because we are no longer IN
a position to throw money about,
it does not follow that we must
scrimp or perish. Neither does
it follow that scrimping will pre-
vent our perishing. vt may even
help us to.
As we look at it, a qu'etus
clapped on legitimate public build
ing enterprises would rank with
the mania for private economy
that is now impoverishing millin-
ers and dressmakers and many a
distressed tailor. Fine-is it not

MATCHING CHICKS BY
NATURAL INCUBATION
Suggestions That Will Help in Get
tInQ Good Results.

Suggestions That VIII Help in Get
ting Good Results.
The three essentials to success with
natural incubation are good eggs, good
hens and good care. Good eggs are
those OF uniform color, size and shape,
free from wrinkles or weak spots in
the shell, not more than ten days or
two weeks old, that have been turned
frequently, and that were produced by
healthy stock selected for vigor and
good breeding characteristics. Good
hens arc healthy hens of medium sizo,
free from lioe, and with the brooding
tendency well developed. Year1ing
and twoyear-old hens are more de-
pendable than pullets. Good care
means constant attention to details.
Good eggs and good hens are neces-
ssry, but without good care even
these will rarely produce good results
A roomy nest, ut least fourteen to
sixteen inches square, should be pro-
the hen can enter the nest without
having to jump down on the eggs. Put
two or three shovels full Of moist soil
into the bottom Of the nest, following
II slightly at the center and filing
the corners. Place an inch or two
Of nne straw or other soft nesting ma
terial directly on this soil. shaping
the nest with the hands.
The hen should be carefully treated
to free her from lice. This can be
done by applying good louise powder
thoroughly Just before placing her on
the nest. The application should be
repeated on the sixth, twelfth and
seventeenth days Of the incubation
period. She should not be given more
eggs than she can properly cover.
The hen should have good feed and
water daily See that she leaves the
nest daily. removing her If necessary.
Feed only whole grains, chiefly corn,
and provide fresh water Plenty OF
grit snd a little charcoal should be
provided. A good busting place, to
which the hen has daily access. Is
great help. II an egg becomes brok-
en- in the nest, wash the soiled eggs
carefully and provide clean nest ma
terial
The eggs should be tested on tho
seventh day and on the fourteenth
day, and all eggs which are infertile
or contain dead germs removed
The hen should not be allowed to
leave the nest from the time the eggs
start to pip" until the hatch is COM
pieted and the young chicks are thor
oughiy dried of.

GETTING AHEAD OF
THE BOIL WEfWl
Cotton Must Have An Early Start and
Rapid Growth-How This May
Be Obtained.

The main points in growing cotton
in Louisiana since the advent OF the
boil weevil are a quick, early growth
and rapid maturity. These advan-
tages can best be obtained by lib
eral use of quickly available fertilig-
er on moderately fertile piece OF
land. Tho land should be perfectly
drained and the soil not too poor nor
too rich. Poor soil u.s. OF course. not
good for any crop: and when cotton
is grown on very rich soil 1t pro-
duces so much stalk and foliage that
in case of wet weather great injury
is likely to be the result.
Preparation Of Land.
Cotton never grows off rapidly on
very loose soil. For that reason
the land should be prepared for two
weeks to a month before planting, 50
that 1t will become settled. The fer
tilizer should be put on top OF the
bed after the land is prepared. Plow-
ing should never be done when the
land is too wet; it Is better to wait
until it has time to dry even though
this may delay planting for few
days. II preparation Is unavoidably
delayed until almost planting time. n
center furrow should not be run be
fore bedding rs the soil would not
have time to become settled before
the cotton comes up.
The Use Of Fertilizers.
The fertilizers used should be Of
the kind that are quickly available
and that tend to produce early ma.
turity. It should be applied and well
covered several weeks before plant
ing, when this is possible. Without a
knowledge of the particular spots OF
land that will be planted to cotton,
We would suggest as fertilizer for
the average soils and the cut-over Pine
lands or the hills OF North Louisia
ann, 200 pounds of acid phosphate
and 100 pounds OF tankage per acre
Cotton seed meal may be used in place
OF tankage, but its action is not as
quick az that OF tarrtage or blood. II
homemade fertilizers are used, they
should be put down in the furrow be
fore bedding and mixed with the soil
by running a furror through.
The Time To Plant.
Cotton should be planted only when
the land is in good condition and
when the weather is such that it will
come up promptly. Any time from
April 1 to 20 is a good date to plant
cotton in Louisiana. One half bushel
Of seed is ample for an acre II the
land is in good condition and a good
planter is used. Unless conditions
are good plant bushel to the acre.
Cotton planted the first Of April
should be covered very shallow. Later
in the month It should have an inch
or more OF dirt on it.
