FILLING A REAL NEED.

Whenever a real need exists, sooner
or later something Is found to meet IT,.
A real need existed for something to
fill with wholesome activity the spare
time of boys-and the Boy Scout
movement developed to meet 1t. rms
organization which has spread so
amazingly during the last few years.
has many claims to consider, but none
are so fundamental as this basic prlh-
ciple of keeping the boys so busy 90
ing useful things that there will be no
time for them to engage in harmful
activities.
The thing about the Boy Scout move
ment that has surprised many people
is the fact that 1t works. People had
become accustomed to consider boys
as being naturally mischievous and de-
structive, to look upon the period OF
adolescence as a time of tribulation'
like the teething age Of babies, which
must be borne with patience and resig-

SCOUTS

Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUT PRINCIPLES

First of all, boy who becomes a
member of the Boy Scouts of America
must take an oath. That's perfectly
natural thing. The Knights of the
Round Table swore an oath and so did
the pirates that sailed the Spanish
Main! So the Boy Scout pledges HIM
self:
/. To do my duty to God and my
country and obey the Scout Law.
2. To help other people at all times.
8. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
The Scout Law referred to in the
oath covers twelve points: Scout
is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful. Friend
", Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheer
full, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Rever-
ent.
There are virtues that appeal to the
spirit of chivalry that lives in the
heart of every boy, and when enhanced
by the sacredness of solemn boyish
oath they have a gripping appeal that
works wonders in the growing char
acter. With these virtues firmly plant
ed in a boys mind and habit OF ms
daily life during his formative years.
there Is little danger of his forsaklng
them entirely in later life.
These virtues are made vital by a
program of activities which gives a
boy an opportunity to put them into
actual practice. He is given commits
stons to perform and is trusted ION
his honor as scout" to carry them IN
to effect, The feature of service to
others is emphasized by encouraging
scouts to do "a good turn" to somebody
every day. This good turn idea Is
taken very seriously. 1t has inspired
thousands of boys to the point where
thew volunteer to wash dishes and tend
babies. And there can be no severer
test than that! The idea OF thrift Is
driven home by requiring a scout 10
earn and deposit money in bank be-
fore he can advance from the rank OF
Tenderfoot to that of Second CLASS
Scout and from the latter to the COW
eted position Of First Class Scout.
Bravery is expected of scouts as
matter of course-moral bravery as
well as bravery Of spirit.
The scout principles are made IN
teresting by hiking, camping, first aid'
knot tying, woodcraft, handicraft, pio-
neering, and all the other things OF
the same character that boys ike TO
do. But no activity is included In the
Boy Scout program without good
reason; each must serve its purpose
in contributing something to the char
acter development of the boy. Scout
activities and the scout oath and la"
are so closely interviewer that II Is
impossible to separate them.

IMPROVED QUALITY OF EGGS
This May Be Brought About by Care
full Selection for Incubation
Use Old Hens.

(By T. E. QUISENBERRY. MissourO
How are we to breed so that we may
improve the quality of the eggs? We
know 1t to be a 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 pull
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 'litter' 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
lection Of eggs for incubation only Of

the kind which you wish to produce.
If you want dead-whlte eggs, do not
incubate any that are tinted In the
least. If you want pure, uniform
brown egg, then select only that kind.
See that none of them weigh less than
tive 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 Matched from hens that lay the
same 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 a 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.

YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH
From incubator-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 basket
and covering them with 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
