Early Matching For Size.

Contrary to general belief and
practice, chicks dO not grow 10
thrive ID wen during the warm
months Oh hot summer days al they
do earlier in the spring. Experienced
poultrymen realize this fact. The
average farmer, however, does not
make an effort to hatch early I'D that
the chicks will have the advantage OF
longer and more favorable growing
season. Early Matching not only in
sures more rapid gains in the growth
of chicks but has favorable influence
OH the size ~ the individuals ot the
flock. Late Matched chicks rarely, II
ever, attain the size of those Matched
early. Early Matching likewise in
fiuences early maturity and conse-
quently early egg production
Given the same food, care and at
tention, chicks Matched the first Of
March will weigh more when they are
four months old than those Matched
month later, say TIM poultry special
lists Of the U .. Department OF Agri-
culture. This likewise holds true with
chicks Matched the first of April as
compared with those Matched May
first. This II due to TIL fact that the
rate or growth of "a chick il greater
during the first four weeks of its life
than at any other time. Consequent
ly, the early Matched chick, having
the advantage OF more favorable
growing season, makes greater gains
during the first four weeks of its
life than the late Matched chick,
During the early spring months when
the temperature IL not 20 varied the
growth of chicks is more uniform and
constant than 1T IL during the summer.
Millions of chicks die every year as
a result of being infected with lice
which, under average farm conditions,
are Outlines difficult to control. Hen
Matched chicks are not d subject I'D
lice In the early spring az they are
during the warmer months when lice
are more prevalent. If for no other
reason chicks should b. Matched early
10 their growth will not b. interrupt
ed BY the presence or lice.
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale of
hroilers, the price of which il usually
governed by their size when sold and
the. time marketed. Thus III would
seem that in order to increase the
amount of money from the sale of
broilers and flyers early Matching
would b. employed ID a. To have
marketable-sized fowl early iii the
spring when prices are highest

HOW WARS HAVE STARTED.

Had there been an ocean telegraph
in 1872 there might not have been Val
war with England at that time Five
days after President Madison signed
the declaration of war, England re-
called TIM orders AKA council which had
provoked Ill. The purpose tO recall
the orders was unknown In America,
while in England nothing was known
or the war declaration when the or
ders were revoked The wars most
important battle, that OF New Orleans,
was fought 15 days after the treaty
OF peace had been signed at Client. IT
was this battle which made Jackson
a popular idol and gave him the, Presi-
dency. The first step in the Crimean
war was Russia's invasion of Mold
ava, months before diplomatic rupture
with England and France. The firing
of Fort Sumter, which started the
war between the States is a familiar
story. The first shot of the Franco
Prussian war was by IA French soldier
on guard at Strasburg bridge a day or
two before Napoleon III formally
took the field. The attempt on Bis
marcks life as he was walking down
the Inter den Linden on May v, 1866,
rallied public sentiment to him and
his policy, and from dramatic stand
point may ~ said to have been the
first shot in the Austro-P russian war.
The blowing UP Of the Maine was the
first blow in the Spanish-American
war, which ended Spanish possessions
in the New World If there should be
war with Germany it will start with
some unlawful act of U-boat on the
high as.--From Leslie's Weekly.

PRICES IN LONDON MUCH LIKE
OURS BUT EGGS HIGHER
Potatoes From Here Are Sold More
Cheaply i'm London, However.

New York dispatch says :-C Compare
son of wholesale prices quoted in
London on February %, with those in
New York on the same date shows
but slight difference between them
in many cases, if war and the enor-
nous demands which the sustenance
of armies entails are taken into con-
sideration. Potatoes, great quantities
of which are shipped from this coun-
try, were actually cheaper in London
than New York.
On that date the wholesale price in
London for potatoes ranged from $2.67
to $3.15 per 100 pounds. The price
here last week was $1,000 for a bas
holding 1853 pounds. It had jumped
to that figure from 81 since last Fri
day. The price for bag of potatoes
here on February was $3.50, or
about $3.50 for 100 pounds
Certain grades Of alleged fresh eggs
could also be bought at wholesale in
London on that date for less than the
best grades of alleged fresh eggs here
One method of keeping the price down
in London has been adopted by TIN
Agriculture. Neighborhood Associa-
tons of poultry raisers cooperate
with groups of families in the city
and deliver new laid eggs at. ~ cents

GIVING YLDER MEN IA CHANCE.

Fifteen large employers OF labor in
Chicago have decided to stop discrim-
mating against men because Of their
aEe. In other words, they have
tithrown down the bars" and in flu
ture will give men an opportunity of
making good, regardless of how long
they have been here on earth. And
At ought To cause great rejoicing
Years ago it was hard for a young
man to get job. He was discrimi-
mated against because of his youth.
Men OF experience were desired, men
who were getting along in years.
Then came a change, and young men
were sought. The rules were posi-
tive; only men under certain age
were employed, and the age was un-
reasonably young Men of 35 or 40
were turned down. and men Of 45
or DO could not even get "a respectful
hearing ait the employment Office. But
again the pendulum is swinging back
toward the men of years. These
Chicago employers claim IT will
greatly relieve the labor situation, to
give older men chance, now that
there is such demand for labor. But
they 60 even farther than that, and
claim that the older men are actually
worth more. in many instances, than
younger men. In other words, they
have come to the conclusion thai
many man has been denied the right
to make VI living because OF his years
when, if lie had been given chance

Whose Uncle? ".

a man learned Of the death OF an
uncle in distant state and employed
an attorney to get for him his share
OF the estate. After much delay the
lawyer sent for his client and said:

ment of our account"
The account rendered showed many
items of expenses, such q taking de-

UNDOUBTEDLY YOU ARE BEING
GOUGED.

Those of III who are still consider
i'm taking nourishment from time to
time should be deeply interested In q
dispute which has broken out among
farmers in Pennsylvania.
It has to do with the cost of raising
"a bushel or potatoes An anarchist
started it with the statement that he
can raise a bushel of potatoes and get
them out or the ground for nineteen
cents bushel He gave cost table
to prove it. But he was not allowed
to get by with it. An old conserva-
tive took him up right or the bat and
claimed that it was impossible To raise
a bushel OF potatoes for less than
thirty-seven cents. He said he had
been trying it for years and that was
as low as ~ could bring N.
You can readily see that the real
truth of this question is of vital con-
Germ to your own table. If 1t actually
costs BIZ cents to raise bushel OF 20
tatoes 1t il, perhaps, but fair that you
should pay 81 bushel for them at
the corner grocery. But if, on the
other hand, ii costs only 19 cents To
produce said bushels, you are un-
doubtedly being gouged if you pay
more than $3.81.-Comb. News.

BREEDING DAIRY AND BEEF
CATTLE
Should BE Kept Separate ITO Secure
Greatest Profits Prevent Cross

The imp lrtance OH keeping the diff
ferent types OF grade and pure bred
animals separate is set forth in an
article recently issued to the breed
ers of dairy and beef cattle ny 8. 8.
Buckley, Animal Industry Extension
Specialist Among other things !. in
this article, he says: Breeding of
dairy cattle and dairying, and breed
ing of beef cattle and feeding, repre-
sent two legitimate and distinct in-
dustries in Maryland. Each has itS
individual and circumscribed sphere
yet each is handicapped by a merging
or fusion of the one with the other.
The result is that neither industry
represents the greatest degree of eli
cheney, nor returns the greatest
amount of profits possible through a
more distinct separation of the two.
ITO this end there should BE- rec
ognized by the breeders OF each class
of animals, the distinct and definite
fields Of the other.
"The practice of using animals of
recognized beef characters Tor dairy
purposes and the use of animals of
dairy characters for beef production

never sacrifice to slaughter any

it can be disposed of for breeding
