BEGINNING of Letter Writing.

The actual period of the beginning
of letter writing is, like many other of
the familiar things of today, lost in the
mlsts of time, observes writer in the
New York Evening World. Probably
the earliest historical records of epis-
tolary achievements are found in the
days of the Egyptians under the Phar-
aohs and of the Greeks who wrote
out their social or business communi-
cations on blocks Of stone or wood. But
for the first letter writer of distinction
1t Is necessary to turn TO the Book of
Kings, where in chapter 21. verses to
10, we are told how Queen Jezebel.
wife of Ahab, wishing to compass the
death of Naboth, ''wrote letters In
Ahab's name and sealed them with his
seal and sent the letters unto the eld-
ers and to the mobiles that were in his
city and that dwelt with Naboth," these
dignitaries- suggesting plot which
ended in the death of Naboth by ston-

VITALITY OF CHICKS TESTED
Ingenious Method Invented by Expert
at Mountain Grove Station
Theory In Brief.

How 10 tell vigorous chicks before
method originated by Frank l.. Plumb,
Mountain Grove, Mo. That this Is an
important problem among poultry rails
ers has long been recognized. Weak
chicks are more susceptible to disease
which the vigorous chicks are more
apt to contract IL the disease is encour-
aged by the presence of weak chickens
In the flock. Then, too, weak chicks
will do better IL separated from those
more vigorous. 1t is also important
that this 'culling be made as easily as
possible because some chicks will very
soon apparently outgrow weakness
which they possess. If II can be done
before Matching and done accurately.
the value of Mr.. Plumbs discovery
can hardly be estimated.
Briefly speaking the theory Is this.
AS the chick approaches complete de-
velopment in the shell II becomes
more and more responsive to the laws
of gravity. 1t will continue to right
itself In the shell when the egg Is
turned. Therefore If the egg after the
eighteenth day is placed In n basin of
lukewarm water the chick Is placed In
an upright position within the egg. In
attempting to right its position its
movements cause the egg to move up
and down with series Of quick jerks.
Chicks of strong vitality cause the egg
to rise and sink nearly one-fourth the
diameter of the egg while those of
weak vitality scarcely move the egg
This is simple test and can be done
with no injury to the eggs. The Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture has not
had tlrde to test this method and con-
sequently cannot vouch for its rella-
billty.

Cutting Makes tns Hair Grow.

According to DR.. William Allen Pus-
sey, the hair grows half an inch a
month until 1t reaches its natural
length. With men the patural length Is
from eight to twelve inches. With
women it grows anywhere from eight
cen inches TO their heels.
The hair grows faster In summer
than IN winter because of the greater
activity of the skin in warm weather.
The hair also grows faster when cut off.
The reason for this is based upon the
general principle that whenever tissue
is called upon to make up deficit It
generally comes to the rescue with
added energy. If you cut off your hair
there is the stimulus of increased de-
mand placed upon nature to make your
hair reach its natural length.

CAUSES OF WHITE DIARRHEA
Disease May Be Inherited Frqm Hens
With infected Ovaries--Tfeat-
ment for Trouble.

White darrhea is caused by bac.
terra. The disease may be inherited
from hens with infected ovarles, or
pass from chick to chick. In me lat
ter case the greatest period of danger
is during the first three days after
Matching. Badly infected chicks are
not worth curing. Never let n chick
that has shown symptoms of diar-
rhea be used as breeders or you will
have affected stock next season. If
the nostrlls of chicks close up, which
compels the chick to breathe through
its mouth, the air passages of the
lungs are affected.
Treatment: Moisten the tongue with
glycerln and water several times a
day. Keep the chicks of fowls warm
and well supplied with water; give
the bird internally olive oil or castor
oil; feed soft foods,

ful Selection for Incubation

How are we TO breed so that we may
improve the quality of the eggs? We
know IL to be fact that a hen lays
essentially the same color and shape
egg year in and year out. or course
we know that the first eggs of pull
let are small and will gradually in
crease in size Latil they reach their
normal state. We also know that In
varieties of poultry which lay brown
eggs the last eggs Of Glitter" will be
somewhat lighter in color than will
the first eggs laid. so we can see that
the shape and color of an egg changes
slightly.
In attempting to breed to improve
the quality of eggs, we advise the Sc

the brooder floor, and should have n
hole In the center that will let the
larger pail set in and slip over the
small pail In the lower platform. The
large pail should be well punched with
nail holes one inch from the top as
IL sets, which Is the bottom, leaving
the bottom whole, to be covered with
sand or dirt to throw the heat. The
hover can be made 1S or 20 inches
square, like little table with seven
inch legs, and should be covered with
two layers OF cloth that will not ravel
that are six inches wide.
If we hatch chickens early In the
spring they will begin to lay when the
hens are moltlng.
Fresh eggs are highest in the late
fall and winter This Is because every
body's hens take their annual vaca-
ton then.
Don't blame the hens; they always
have done 1t and they always will.
They stop laying eggs and grow a
new crop Of feathers instead.
During this 'moltlng period" as
poultrymen call It, nobody has many

VIEWPOINT oE plsrlLLER.

Since the Introduction of antl-whis-
ky legislative measures the love of the
distiller for his brother, the brewer,
has grown cold. The following Is n
sample of what the whisky men are
saying:
Until recent years, ut least, II was
the custom of Milwaukee parents to
take their children into the various beer
gardens of the Cream City and fll
their little stomachs with 'suds.' The
high degree of intelligence portrayed
in these beer faces would not have
brought forth envy on the part Of Plato
or Homer. We recall the time when
the employees of one of the large Mil
waukee brewerles threatened to strike
because their daily allowance of beer
was to be cut from four gallons 20 two
gallons. 1t would thus be seen that
there must be something about beer
that perpetuates the thirst. But al
the same time 1t is admitted by the
brewers that beer is genuine ten
perance' drink"

Briqhtens Carpets.

A suggestion for making a carpet
look like new and bringing out all the
bright colors again, at a cost of Is
cents, follows: Shave one bar of
white soap in dish and dissolve with
a gallon Df hot water; to this add 10
cents worth of salts of tartar. This
forms soft paste. When cold put a
handful of paste on carpet and with a
scrub brush scrub this well into the
carpet; then with a dull knife scrape
the paste from the carpet and then
wiring cloth out of clear water and
go over the place just cleaned. In
this manner go over the surface of the
entire carpet, and YOU will be sur
prised at the result.

Tribe Which Was Once Known as

or all the wards of Uncle Sam,
none enjoyed worse reputation nor n
better deserved one, than the Apache
Indians of the Southwest 80 years ago
They terrOrized the Mexlcans, robbed
the wagon trains In the Santa Fe trail
made the frontlersman's life miserable
caused the patient troopers of the reg
ular army to plod and struggle over
countless miles of hot sand and blue
lava on their trail. and as soon as they
were fairly beaten and settled down
they broke out In Il new place. Today
their country Is given over to the
farmer and the flivver, and what re-
mains of the tribe occupies spacious
reservation In northwestern New Mex
leo, says the Buffalo News.
The reservation Is spacious, because
the Apache needs plenty of room. 1t
contains little besides space, because
that Is the kind of land that suits him ;
and, luckily for him, has little attrac-
ton for anybody else. The Apache's
idea of a small one.man homestead
would run anywhere from thousand
acres up. He does not go in for In
tensive cultivation. He plants q little
corn here and there and he harvests
wild hay wherever 1t chances to grow
thickly enough to make the process
worth while, but real farming is in
compatible with his idea of the dignity
of man and an Indian.
The boundaries of the reservation
are not visible to the naked eye, so
that IL you chance to be travelling in
the nelghborhood you may easily stray
over the Apache's hearth and home
without finding 1t out. The owner,
however, will inform you of the fact
with great vlgor, If he chances to find
you. On the other hand, you may travel
on Apache land for weeks and never
meet soul. The reservation comprises
hundreds of square miles, and the In
dians are true nomads, wandering
from place to place as the fancy
seizes.
The reservation is q land of rolling
hills, With few stubby mountain
ranges, and share OF barren plain.
Most of the country Is fertile enough,
especially the hill land, but the Indian
makes no attempt to realize on its fer
tility. AT least, he Is doing nothing to
exhaust the soil, and should his race
or another ever come to farm it they
will find earth as virgin as that of the
western prairles hundred years ago.

GOOD CHICK-GROWlNG MASH
Mixture Of Bran, Middlinss, cornmeal
and Beef Scrap Is Favored
Feed In Hopper.

After the chicks are ten days old
a good growing mash, composed of
two parts by weight of bran, two parts
mlddlings, one part cornmeal, one part
low-grade wheat flour or red-dog mid
dlings, and 10 per cent slfted beef
scrap, may be placed in hopper and
left before them all the time. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry; IL
wet, only enough moisture (either milk
or water) should be added TO make the
feed crumbly, but in no sense sloppy.
When this growing mash or mixture is
not used, a hopper containing bran
should be accessible to the chickens at
ALI times. ta,

the kind which you wish to produce.
If you want dead-white eggs, do not
incubate any that are tinted in the
least. If you want n pure, uniform
brown egg, then select only that kind.
See that none of them weigh less than
two ounces and are of the perfect
shape which you desire, and all of
sound, smooth shell. Use males for
mating with these selected hens that
were hatched from hens that lay the
same kind of an egg. Use the same
process of selection the following year,
and in short period of time you will
find that the number of eggs which
will have to be culled out will grow
gradually less and less. A much larger
percentage of your eggs will grade as
firSts.
1t is advisable to use hens for breed
ing purposes because they lay larger
egg than the pullets, and they lay
fewer eggs in the fall and winter and
are in much better condition for
breeding purposes in the spring
months than are the pullets.

In removing chicks from the incu.

be taken to prevent them from being

with burlap or cotton cloth laid over
the basket. A shallow wooden box

EGGS FOR HATCHlNG

Eggs selected for Matching
should weigh not less than two
ounces nor more than two and
n quarter ounces each. Eggs Sc
lected for incubation should
have clean, smooth, strong shells
which are free from ridges,
cracks, transparent spots or lime
deposits.
Where all of the eggs consld-
! cred are of the same variety,
there is n definite correlation be-
: tween the size of the egg incu-
bated, the size of the chick when
: hatched, and the size of the
. chick from ten to twenty weeks
: old.
Eggs selected for Matching
should be of II true egg type.
Exceptionally long eggs and very
short, rounded eggs are equally
Objectionable. Malformed eggs
should never be incubated.
, These eggs are usually difficult
TO hatch. White eggs and brown
: eggs should not be lncubated to-
gether.
