YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH
Be Careful in Removing Little Fellows
From ncubator-Prevent Chill
ing Is Main Thing.

In removing chicks from the incu-
bator to the brooder great care must
be taken to prevent them from being
chilled. This can well be accom-
plished by placing them in a basket
and covering them with a wooden
cloth laid lightly over the chicks or
with burlap or cotton cloth laid over
the basket. A shallow wooden box
having a muslin cover makes a very
convenient chick carrier.
The main thing to do is to prevent
killing. Care should be taken to have
the temperature Of the brooder about
the same as that of the Incubator, that

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 a 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 fof
mating with these selected hens that
were Matched from hens that lay the
,~-->>"-kind of an egg. Use the same
process of selection the Following year,
and in a 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.

CBy T. E. QUISENBERRY. Missouri)
How are we to breed so that we may
improve the quality of the eggs? we
know it to be fact that hen lays
essentially the same color and shape
egg year in and year out. OF course
we know that the first eggs of pun
let are small and will gradually In
crease in size until they reach their
normal state. We also know that in
varieties of poultry which lay brown
eggs the last eggs of sitter" 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.

The Standard of Perfection requires
such colors in the plumage of these
birds that cannot be realized In true
mating.
Double mating Is a serious neces-
sary feature as long as fanciers con-
tinue to require an artificial standard
for some breeds. This practice in the
long run works a detriment to the
welfare of the breed. Fanciers should
get together and require a standard
of these breeds that can be realized
from true single mating.

SMALL EGGS LACK VITALITY
Reject All Those Weighing Less Than
Two Ounces for Hatching-
Also Those Misshapen.

There is good reason to believe that
small eggs and lack of vitality go to-
gether. Reject for setting purposes
all eggs that weigh less than two
ounces each, for small eggs produce
small chicks.
A breeder has no business to send
out small, misshapen eggs and If such
are received the buyer has good cause
to expect poor results.

Tuesday a gap was broken in

BILE column Of old men. Some of

and some wore the gray of the
Confederacy. It was not long
line, less than block in length,
and it was not a smart looking
one, but it gave the hearts of
those who beheld it an extra
beat. For it was the symbol of
the American people. Marching
as they did side by side, these
men who faced each other over

Nothing! Positively nothing

been ceremonial marches by the
dozen. Inaugural parades of a
scope Of magnificence unparal-

days note only, here today, gone
tomorrow, forgotten by the turn
of the four years.
There have been Elks, Educa-

testant, political, labor and pre-
paredness parades, but nothing
until last week that was a rush
light to the grand reviews of
the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie.
Tuesdays parade was an in
vocation and a benediction. It
was colorful because Of the
dancing Flags, borne by nearly
every marcher, as the prancing
horses, the white-clad little girls,
the gathering artillery, the tiny
boy scouts, the "steel-tipped
marching regulars, /" forged with
steady step up the Avenue to-
ward the White House, led by
the President Of the United
States. Hearts got too big for
onlookers and tears streamed
unforbidden from hard old eyes
that had not wept for years,
while mothers and maids spoiled
bits of cambria and linen in a
vain endeavor to weep and smile
at the same time.

blared forth by 40 bands, and
Internationally sung by 10000
marching men and women, was
the inspiring melody to which
the District of Columbia co1tin-
gent of drafted men was started
on it's way to somewhere on
the firing line" last week.
Pennsylvania Avenue has had
many inspiring sights in the
way of marching men, but not
in many a year has there been
anything so impressive as this.
The first great spectacle was
in 1866 when the returning sol
diers of the Union for two days
marched up Pennsylvania Aven-
ue, victors in a great war.
In 1892, the remnana Of that
mighty host, wearing the badge
of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, filled the Avenue from
Sidewalk to sidewalk as they
marched for nine hours up the
now historic widest avenue in
the world.
Again, in 1902, the rapidly
aging veterans paced up the
Avenue, shoulder to shoulder,
while the bands played March
ing Through Georgia" and John
Brown and they were seven
hours in saluting as they passed
the reviewing stands.

hours smiled, nodded or waved
the Flag he held in his right
hand at the marching units.
There must have been a half
million people lining the streets
of Washington to see the parade.
It is a thousand pities that it
could not have been 100, 900, 900.
Such an object lesson as it was.
The House and Senate march
ed. They are not much on the
hike, most of them, though they
can walk 20 miles over golf
grounds. The Speaker of the
House, Champ Clark, and former
Speaker of the House, Joe Can
non, marched together, and they
stepped out pretty lively.
At the head of the Senatorial
contingent was Senator Knute
Nelson, his sturdy old form clad
in Grand Army uniform, with
SLOUGH hat and badge. Beside
him walked Senator Bankhead,
in Confederate gray. These two
groups commanded instant at
tention.
In the third division was a
battalion of the United States
Marine Corps and a gun COM
pany, over 1000 in all. Their
marching was the rhythm OF
motion, the poetry Of action.
Big, broad-chested, sinewy, the
marching lines stepped out as
one man, and instinctively you
felt the irresistible force with
which those splendid American
boys would strike any enemy.
They moved like clock work and
you felt as though their muir
derous guns would NOW down
with the precision of a keen
edged .scythe.
There we're nearly 1000 men
of the officers reserve school, and
lother training companies galore.

Then there were thousands of
men and women from the vari-
GUS Government. Departments
and from the various civic and
patriotic societies in and ada
cent to Washington.
The children of the play
grounds made a beautiful fea-
ture of the parade. The little
girls, dressed in white, carried a
wide stretched Flag. There must
have been a dozen of these flags

patriotism.

about 500 strong, hepped up the
Avenue exactly as they did SO
years ago-exactly! Well, per-
haps, there were some canes and
things like that to help totter-
ing, tagging footsteps, but they
got here just the same. Under

and cheered again, and when,
