A Gigantic Meteor Stream.

One of the most accomplished and
assiduous students Of meteors. Doctor
Denning. Is Of the opinion that the
August meteors, which radiate from
the constellation Perseus. and are
sometimes called the "Tears OF St.
Lawrence" belong to stream so
broad that the earth, travelling be-
tween 18 and 10 miles a second. occu-
pies seven weeks In crossing II.
This would make the width OF the
stream. IL the earth traversed IT. at
right angle to its course. nearly 3d.
100000 miles. These meteors are SO
scattered all around the orbit in which
they travel that some Of them are
visible every year. They are believed
to be connected with a bright comet
which appeared in 1862 and Is sup
posed to have a period Of about 120
years. The outer end of it's elliptical
meteor stream is situated far beyond
the orbit Of Neptune.

WHY CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"The answer is easy to give" says
Mr.. l.. j. Tabor, master of the Ohio
state Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active in the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
tion. "The grange is a constructive
forwHrd-loOking organization. The
first plank in the grange platform is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and In America. This high purpose
leaves but one course of action that
the grange could possibly take in a
moral issue. 1t must be on the right
side of the question.
"The grange, state and national, is
for absolute prohibition, not for fa-
natical or sentimental reasons, but be-
cause common sense and the cold
facts in the case conchsively demon
strate that while the saloon is the
greatest enemy of the church and the
home, 1t is also great enemy of ru.
raj progress, of national development
and the best things in life"

70 Brood Pouits,

Turkey eggs are hatched with tur.
key hens, chicken hens and incubators
During the early part of the laying
season there are often n number Of
eggs on hand that should be hatched
before any of the turkeys finish laying
their first eggs and become broodN
When this occurs or when II Is de.
sired to have the turkey hen lay mora
than one litter. some of the eggs will
have to be hatched under chicken
hen or in the incubator.
Before the poults are hatchcd, say
a week, turkey hens should be allowed
to take some of the eggs that are incu.
bated. They can be given few eggs
from the incubator or from under
chicken hens and allowed to hatch the
poults. Another plan is TO slip newly
hatched poult under turkey hen at
night and by morning she will be glad
TO take the whole brood.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The mO6ern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
foodstuffs equal TO that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tlon's history and today the agricul-
tural fields OF America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line Of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to- nature, en-
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling a duty to human
ity by producing from n fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
edly. will be maintained for a number
of years, and It appears n certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
Of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to life on the Farm" 1t has been,
TO n large extent, considered as only
place to live peacefully and afford n
living for those who are satisfied with
merely q comfortable existence. Such
wrong impression has been created.
in a measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given n supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
lire Of commerce. In no other buSi-
ness does n system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and II Is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that generally speaking, needs It as
much. The old idea of getting living
OF the farm and not knowing how II
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum Of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered ms
business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturlst; small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application Of a sys-
TEN to the cost Of various work on the
farm that it Is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growlng in
Western Canada.
Mr.. c. A. Wright Of Milo, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres of
land IN Western Canada for $1,000 in
December 1915, and took his first crop
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost Of cultivating
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at S1.55 a bushel On low price
compared with the present market),
had surplus of $2,472.G7. His figures
are as follows:

EGGS FOR INCUBATION
Uniformity in Size and Shape Is
Of Utmost Importance.
Smooth Shells, All White or Brown
Are Also DesirabIe-No Way Of
Determining Fertility Of Egg
Nor Sex of Chick.

Eggs for incubation, either natural
or artificial, should be uniform in
size, with smooth shells of good tex
ture, according to n. l.. Harris, super.
lntendent of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college poultry farm.
Irregularly shaped eggs viii hatch
nearly as well as smooth-shel!ed eggs,
believes Mr.. Harris. II is not consid-
cred good practice, however, to set the
irregularly shaped eggs as there Is n
possibility that pullets Matched from
them will inherit the undesirable char.
ncterstic Of producing poorly shaped
eggs.
AS n rule II is not wise to place both
white and brown eggs in the same In
cubator, as the white eggs have ten
dency to hatch one or two days sooner
than those with brown shells. There
is nothing in the color of the shell
which affects the time of Matching but
the small, quick maturing birds nearly
all lay white-shelled eggs. The en-
velop more rapidly than those of the
heavier breeds.
Eggs that vary greatly in size should
never be set In an incubator as the
large eggs seem to receive more heat
due to projecting higher in the machine
than the smaller ones. Eggs with
shells of poor texture which appear
porous, allow the moisture to evapo-
rate too readily and seldom, If over,
hatch.
There Is absolutely no way of de-
terminlng the fertility of an egg pre-
vious 10 incubation, nor is there any
thing in the shape of the egg which
will indicate the sex of the chick.

POULTRY RECORD IS USEFUL

Every poultry breeder should keep n

they pay. Such accounts need not be
elaborate, but they should be accurate.
Charge the fowls with all that they
