EGG-LAYING AGE OF BULLETS
Light Breeds, Such as Leghorn, Mi

Different breeds mature and COM

times. In general, under a utility
classification pullets of the egg breeds,
such as Leghorn, Minorca, Hamburg
and Ancona, mature early and begin
to lay eggs at four or five months I'M

conditions are not favorable to induce
early e~gg-laying, six months is proba-
bly, a nearer average for the time to
commence laying. Meat types, such
as Brahma, Cochin and Langshan, are
slower in maturity, taking six to eight
months or longer for a pullet to get In

CHANGE MALE BIRDS YEARLY
Most Successful Breeders Do Not Ad.
vocate Practice-Immaturo Fowls
Not Desirable.

Many people get the idea that 1t is
always best to change male birds ev-
cry year. The most successful breed
ers do not advocate this yearly change.
Good male birds may be kept profit
ably for two or three years. The use
of immature males eventually will re
suit in reducing the size of the stock
in general.
If it is desirable to use Young birds,
they should be well grown and de-
veloped. AS a rule when young males
are used 1t is preferable to breed them
to older hens. Old males may be mat
ed likewise with young hens or pull
let's. Unless the young stock is well
grown 1t is quite well to use the older
stock on both sides.

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.

Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are nc doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion car be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in whole or
divided courses. All missed lessons
must be made up-no excuse. Think
and be prepared ahead means business
on both sides.
Language and elocution.
Evening lessons from 7 to 10 o.

Regular Attention Should Be Given and
Accumulation Avoided - Clean
Once Every Week.

The dropping boards should have
regular attention. 1t will not do to let
the droppings accumulate. In warm
weather they should be cleaned off
three times a week, and at least once
a week in cold weather. A short.
handled hoe is fine for cleaning the
dropping boards. They IA be scraped
off into a tub or box in a very short
time, with no very great amount OF

 Red Cross Chapter--Negro Fami- % lies. Suffer From Cold

That this temporary cold spell may have caused some suffering among the families of those who have been draft ed into the service of the United States army is suggested by a telegram which Chairman F. H. Cabaniss of exemption board No sent to Congressman Hud- dleston yesterday, asking for immediate financial help for some of the negro fam flies of the conscripted men now in the army.
 A telegram was received in answer stating that officially no action could ee taken by the government, but suggest ing that the cases be referred to the Red Cross unit of Birmingham.
 When questioned on the subject yester- day the officials of the exemption boards stated that there were some cases or this kind in the city, that it was prac- tically impossible to determine the ex- act financial status of all the families of the drafted men, but that they thought if a little immediate help was onered the situation could be well bridged over luntil the regular government allowance began to be paid, after which time many of the families would be in better financial condition than ever before.

appointment in England and the feeling among the public has been that the enemy has succeeded in neutralzng the effect of the whole British success by the break through on a comparatively small area in the south This is the first reverse the British have had on the British front since 1915.
 "The public had come to look on the west front as practically inviolable, for getting the possibility of the accidents of war. It is still too early to try to give the exact reasons for the German break through in the south. Their suc- cess was won not on hastily constructed new line, but on an old line where we had been established for many months. The reasons will come out in due course.
 "On the Italian front there has been no important change from last week, and I see no particular reason to alter what I said then. The Germans twice made an effort to cross the Uiave, but in vain. They gained little ground in the moun- tains, but this is of no material impor- tance."
