When the Bore Called.

This is my busy day" Time is money" and various other appropriate notices were hung about the walls of his office. But the inevitable bore ob- truded himself just the same.
 How do you do,' said the caller. i've just word or two to say to you"
 "Delighted, I'm sure, to hear them, but"
 "Oh, 1t won't take long"
 Wont 1t? Well, I'll tell you what You go into the next room and sit down at my graphophone and say It.. Whenever you want more cylinders, just ring the bell and don't be afraid to let yourself loose. Just as soon as I get time I'll grind it out again, and in the meantime We can both be hap py."-Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

that the chick has when 1t starts in life count for at least as much as good conditions and good care.
 Also, in growing stock for layers, it is especially important at this time when large increase in meat prod ucts is needed, to avoid breeding from undersized specimens. Whatever may be the facts as to the relative value of large and small hens as layers, as that question relates to standard breeds, the question is irrelevant in this farm poultry production campaign, for farm hens are nearly all small according to standards for improved breeds of fowls.
 The ordinary farm flock contains a large proportion of hens quite unfit for breeding-having no quality which it is desirable to reproduce. The eggs from these should not be used for hatching but, as far as possible, eggs used for matching should be from the best hens in the flock. To determine how many of these are needed, an es- timate must be made, passing 1t upon the usual hatchability of eggs, and the probable length of the matching sea- son.
 The ordinary average of matches extending over period of several months is about 70 per cent. If all the chicks are matched early the length of the matching season is about six weeks, from the setting of the first to the setting of the last hen used. Allowing two weeks for saving eggs before the first hens are set, the eggs used for matching must be laid within eight weeks. Allowing for rejections of small and defective eggs, provision should be made for about 800 eggs in eight weeks. This means n flock of l5 to 20 hens as breeders. Such number of the best of the flock should be separated from the rest.
 As a matter of convenience it will probably be more satisfactory in most cases to confine the culls and give the portion of the farm flock used for breeders the usual accommodations and range. The culls may be shut in small quarters without yard if neces- sary, while that is not advisable for breeding stock.
 The next thing to consider is the male. In many cases it will be to the advantage of farmers undertaking to increase and improve their hocks to buy standard males of general-purpose breeds because of the additional size and weight such males will give the chicks, to say nothing of the probable increase in egg production. From one or two pounds extra weight can be put on the chicks from ordinary farm hens by using males of approximately standard weight of Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and OrpingtOns.

QUALITY Is OF IMPORTANCE
American Standard Breeds Are Good Producers of Meat and Eggs
 Farm Hens Are Small.

tFrom the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 lnaSmuch as most farms have al- ready some supply of poultry, the problem for the farmer is one of in- crease and not, like that of the city dWeller who undertakes to keep hens to supply his own table with eggs, one of securing the foundation stock. While the American standard breeds are, for general purposes, the best, it Is not urged that they be made to supplant other breeds where the oth- or breeds are established and where they can be produced with a fair de- gree of success and of profit. The American standard breeds broadly speaking, are the larger breeds of general-purpose fowl, good producers of both meat and eggs, as distinguished from the small breeds that are spe- cialized egg producers. Farmers and own fioeks. and know the peculiari- ties of their breed and how to make the most of them will do best by keeping the hens that they have, even though they be small and inferior as meat producers, instead of trying to replace them with heavier ones.

TO COMBAT PLAGUE OF RATS
Buildings Must Be Constructed That Win Exclude the Pests From
 Shelter and Food

A single rat, remarks David F.. LantZ in a recent publication of the United States department of agriculture, does far less harm in q year than any one lion, tiger or wolf but the big animals of prey are few, while rats are deplor- ably abundant. There are possibly two or three times as many rats as there are people in the civilized world; and the destruction wrought by this vast horde of yoraciouS rodents is far great CT than that wrought by wolves, tigers and all other noxious animals to- gether.
 To combat this dangerous pest sue cessfully, says Lantz, is largely build ing problem. Buildings should be so constructed as to exclude the animals done, individual and community efforts to destroy rats will give satisfactory and lasting results. The program may be regarded by many as too expensive Will 1t be too costly2 What do rats cost now? If half the money now spent in feeding and fighting rats could be expended in wisely planned and well-executed cooperative efforts for rat repression, 1t would be possible within few years nearly to rid the country of Its worst animal pest, to re duce losses from its depredations by at least 90 per cent, and to free the land completely from the fear of bu- homie plagup

FOR HIS COUNTRY.

Another Okanogan county soldier
boy has paid the price, dying in a
hospital in New York from the affects
of an operation for mastoiditis. The
young man was Quinten Wilson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Wilson, of Okla
hogan. The heart felt sympathy of ev-
cry loyal man and woman goes out to
the stricken parents in this hour of
their affliction. They gave more than
their lives to their country and a
grateful country should never forget
them. The Okanogan Independent thus
announces the death: "Quinten Wilson
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Wilson of
Okanogan, was well known here as a
steady and upright young man. When
the war broke out, he volunteered and
enlisted at Cheyenne in the lend reg
ular infantry. After having been NOV
ed about more or less for several
months, last November found him at
Williams Bridge, New York, where he
was taken ill with mumps and entered
the hospital on the 22nd of that month.
Complications set in and finally a few
days ago he was operated on by army
surgeons for mastoiditis, and failed to
recover. He passed away Thursday
morning about 10 o'clock"
