EGGS FOR HATCHING

It is seldom necessary and never de-
sirable to use eggs for Matching from
all the fowls on the farm. A sufficient
number of the choicest fowls should
be separated from the main flock two
or three weeks before it is necessary
to begin to save eggs for Matching.
They should be housed in a temporary
pen and yarded at one end Of the reg
ular poultry house or in portable col
ony houses and returned to the main
flock when the breeding season is over.
No matter how carefully the breed
ing stock has been selected, it will US
ually be found advisable to make a
careful selection Of the eggs to be in
cubated, basing the selection on their
size, shape, color, condition Of shell
and uniformity. The first three Of
these characters are hereditary and a
careful selection Of eggs of good size,
shape and color continued thru several
generations will result in greatly i'm
proved average quality Of the eggs
produced by the flock.

Saturn is the only planet at all IA
vorably situated for observation. It
crosses the meridian about $3.50 at the
beginning Of the month and about $50
at the end, but 1t is so high up toward
the zenith that it is in good position
for observation. The rings are fairly
wide open, but are closing up rapidly.
These rings consist Of vast number
Of tiny moons, each Of which moves in
it's own individual orbit about the
planet. They are so closely crowded
together that at the vast distance
which separates US fom Saturn they
merge into one continuous ring. A
black line separates this ring into an
this inner one and the ball Of the plan
ct itself is found "dusky" ring, the
so-called Grape ring. It was known for
a long time, purely from theoretical
considerations, that the ring could not
possibly be solid for there is nc
known material which could stand the
terrific internal forces which would be
set up. Prof. Keller at the Allie
gheny Observatory succeeded in meas.
uring, by means Of the spectroscope
the velocity Of the outer edge of the
ring and also at the same time the
velocity Of the inner edge, and found
that the outer edge moved the slower
which is exactly what it would do il
the ring consisted Of tiny rings and is
exactly what it would not do if were
a solid. Thus he confirmed by obser.
vations the deductions Of theory.
The fixed stars, Aldebaran in the
west, Orion in the southwest, Capells
high up in the northwest, Sirius anC
Procyon in the south, Caster and Pol

skys. On March 20 at 1898 p. m. tht
sun enters Aries and spring begins.

no RAG MAN NOW IN
EITHER CITY OR SMALL TOWN

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 3.-Do you real
lie that whether you live in big city
or little town you no longer hear the
old familiar cry of the rag man.
When the man with the stentorian call
OF Rags! Rags! Rags!" quit making
his rounds from house to house the
paper mills began to import rags from
Europe, but now the war has shut off
this source of supply and the United
States Department of Commerce sits
up to inquire what has become of the
rag collector, whose economic omport-
ance is realized at last.
Students economy agree that the
one great lesson which Americans most
of all need to learn is the lesson OF
thrift, conservation, the stopping OF
waste, and in this connection the
housewife will find that rags and pa
per are we'll worth saving and selling.
In that way she will provide herself
with pin money and contribute no
small part to bringing down the cost
of white paper.

DIDN'T WANT A FIRE STARTED
IN GROCER'S CHIMNEY

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 3-"For Gawd's
sake, mister, don't start no fire. I'm
in dis here chimbley, an I'd smother
to DEATH"
This frantic prayer greeted a grocer
when he started to make fire in his
place of business the other morning.
When the base of the chimney was
cut away by brick-masons, William
Gaines, a negro. who had got damned
in the chimney and couldn't move, was
taken out half dead from fear and suf-
location.
Police believe he tried to enter the
grocery to steal, by way of the Santa
Claus route, and miscalculated his
size.
