EARLY MATCHING FOR SIZE.
Early Chicks Also Less Subject to Lice
and More Can be Raised

Contrary to general belief and prac
tice, chicks do not grow or thrive as
well during the warm months or hot
summer days as they do earlier in the
spring. Experienced poultrymen re-
allie this fact. The average farmer,
however, does not make an effort to
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage of a longer and
more favorable growing season. Early
Matching not only insures more rapid
gains in the growth of chicks, but has
favorable influence on the size of
the individuals of the flock. Late
Matched chicks rarely, if ever, attain
the size of those Matched early Early
Matching, likewise, influences early ma
turity and consequently carly egg pro-
duction.
Given the same food, care and at
tention, chicks hatched the first of
March will weigh more when they are
four months old than those Matched a
month later, say the poultry specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture. This, likewise, holds true
with chicks Matched the first of April
as compared with those hatched May l.
This is due to the fact that the rate
of growth of chick is greater dur
ing the first four weeks of its life than
at any other time. Consequently, the
early Matched chick, having the ad
vantage of a more favorable growing
season. makes greater gains during the
! first four weeks of its life than tbs
late Matched chick. During the early
spring months, when the temperature
is not so varied, the growth of chicks
is more uniform and constant than il
is during the summer.
Millions of chicks die every year a:

All of us have an admiration for the
soldier. There is something about the
military side of life that appeals to
everybody of red blood, regardless of
age, sex or condition. Probably it is
the fact that the soldier is ready to
fight for his country, to face privations
and hardship and even death that wins
him admiration. But the soldiers are
not the only brave men, by any
means. There is one branch of our
government service whose members
never appear on parade and who sell
dom are applauded or spread upon the
public prints in spectacular way as
heroes. We refer to the coast guards.
They are not called upon to take life,
but to save it. Eleven of these men
went down in the cold waters to death
off the Maryland coast this week
while trying to rescue people in immi-
nent danger on a stranded vessel. The
press dispatches said but little about

a result of being infested with lice
which, under average farm conditions,
are often difficult to control. Hen
Matched chicks are not as subject to lice
in the early spring as they are during
the warmer months when lice are more
prevalent. If, for no other reason,
chicks should be Matched early so their
growth will not be interrupted by the
presence of lice.
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale of
broilers, the price of which is usually
governed by their size when sold and
the time marketed. Thus it would seem
that in order to increase the amount
of money from the sale of broilers and
fryers early Matching would be EN-
ployed so as to have a marketable
sized fowl early in the spring when
prices are highest.

it is handled right He has grated
everything that grows on California
soil except the native grapefruit, which
still remains full OF three -cornered
seeds and goes off ever and anon like
squirt gun. 1t would seem that Mr..
Burbank, who subdued the treacherous,
rebellious spirit of the navel orange
so that people can eat it with no more
apprehension than is caused by pump
kin pie, could invent n grapefruit
which would not have to be taken
apart and dissected with three-tined
fork. We have the utmost respect for
Mr.. Burbank and his high, aquiline
forehead but he would grow in popu-
lar esteem if he would make it pos
sibe to consume half grapefruit in
dining ear without shooting the seeds
at perfect strangers.
Mr.. Burbank recently became Z

And then commenced the Fairyland
music. Such music as it is too, More
wondrous than any other and the little
Creatures danced as they had never
danced before. The Shadows frisked
about and Mr.. Moon and the Trees
helped them with their dancing.
Not, of course, that Mr. Moon came
down to the Earth. Nor did the Pine
Trees bend or break, but they moved,
and Mr.. Moon shone so that the Shad-
ows couldn't help but do their loyeliest
dances.
The Stars twinkled and cleaned.
starlight" they said is lovely, but
Fairyland is more wonderful than any
thing"
And then the Fairies sang:
Starlight. Starlight. Starlight,
Makes the night so very bright,
Fairyland is always gay.
For We love to dance and play.
But Stars and Moon help US along
AS we dance and sing this song.
For they make the sparkling snow,
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho.
The Moon tried to make bow when
he heard this song, but all he could do
was to grin q little more than ever.
IF l bow" he said Il might fall
down. And such thing has never
been heard Of
"But we can bow" said some of the
Stars.
And off went the Shooting Stars
through the Sky.
"We can't move" said some of the
other Stars, $50 the Shooting Stars
are bowling for as"
The Snow looked as if it had been
made of diamonds and sparkling jew
els and the Guests of the Fairies said
that they had never seen it so beauti-
full.
"And now we're to have supper
said the Fairies.
Over the Snvy they spread long Ia
bles of great Pine branches, and ev.
eryone sat down on a special Pine
branch of his own.
For supper they had the most mar
velous of Snow ice cream which the
Fairies had made, and which every
one said was delicious.
Mr.. Moon, the Stars and the Shad
ows didn't join in the supper, but as
they looked on they said, 1--WE like tc
see Snow ice cream, for it's not onl,
something to eat, it's pretty to look
at, and that is what we enjoy"

The Beginning of the End.

The Indiana law granting TO women
the presidential franchise seems so
important as al incident in the long
battle Cor woman suffrage in this
country that it can be fairly charac-
tcrized as the beginning Of the end.
With the three great Middle Western
states Of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio al
lowing women to vote for president,
in addition to the twelve equal suf-
frage states beyond the Mississippi
river, it is politically impossible for
the Eastern states to hold out very
much longer 1t would not be surpris
ing if, before the presidential election
of 1920, several of the Atlantic Coast
states followed the example of Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana; for, with fifteen
states now permitting women 70 vote
for president. the political pressure
for uniformity throughout the coun-
try in this important matter is sure
to become a factor in the situation.
The women suffrage states now east
135 electoral votes and the number
must grow rather than diminish. In
the absence of a federal amendment
to the constitution, substantially all
the states, except those of the South.
are sure to fall into line simply be
cause the push from the West has be
come too powerful to resist. Where
ever the presidential suffrage is grant
ed extension to the women Ct the
voting privilege to cover all public
offices is sure to follow i'll due season.

Why District School Used to Keep in
Vermont.

Daniel L. Cady in Burlington Free
Press)
When district school was almost done |
| used to feel tremendous good;
Ny hands was tired with doing sums
| never quarter understood
L couldn t see why school should keep,
But now IN twelve, it Jest as plain
1t kept so teacher d have chance
To use her golden watch and chain.
| never saw as neat q watch
Excepting once at Woodstock Fair;
It opened like my 'rithmetic
In front or back or anywhere;
And Gee' it used to shine bright
Frank Perkins said it scorched his
brain
There wouldn't been much school, I
guess,
Ii teacher had no watch and chain
The chain was sure the longest one
There was in all our part Of town;
1t went way up behind her neck,
And made a turn and then came
down.
And on it was slide that looked
Like some big Spanish fly from
Spain
No wonder teacher liked to teach
With such a dandy watch and chain.
When little Tim went u to read
She d put one hand around his side.
And with the other hand she ID grasp
That ilseetiverous-looking slide;
When Tim said A, she d slip II up;
At B, she a sim it down again
You see, he a never learned to read
| If teacher d had no watch and
cham.
She used TO wind it every hour,
! Then flash it up against her ear;
Then use it for a looking glass
To see her ewes and skin was clear;
And always when she used to say
:. Examples; number one explain:
We noticed. Edison Purse ald me,
She timed US with her watch and
chain.
One day she showed us after school
Her initials ringwormed on the case
And Ida Gardner saw inside
The picture of a tellar s face:
And Ida said why. that s the man
That met you, teacher: at the
train"
But teacher thought il was the MAJ
From which she bought her watcl
and chain.

Year by year the railroads have paid
higher prices for everything they use,
and increased wages to their men with
out any material increase in rates.
Their solvency has beer maintained,
where it has not given way under the
strain, as has been the ease with so
many Southwestern lines. through the
adoption of economies TO offset in
creases. Chief among these has been
the increased work put upon cars and
locomotives by the use OF heavier
equipment and better loading methods.
The Pennsylvania claims improved eff
ficiency in the operation OF both its
freight and passenger trains in 1916.
The number of tons increased 10 per
cent and the tonnage mileage IS per
cent. but largely by heavier ear load
ing the additional tonnage aad mile
age required an increase of only ;
per cent in the train mileage. In the
last ten years the average train load
has been increased from sos tons to
! $40 tons, or 81 per cent. The aver
age revenue per train mile went up
per cent last year. but the heavier ex
penses and taxes absorbed the increase
and caused a slight decrease in net
revenue per freight train mile.
