This is an age Of specialists. If you
are going TO breed for eggs, select the
egg type. If you want to breed for
meat, select the beefy type of poultry.
tbs indeed a hard proposition to sue
cessfully breed a dual purpose type,
j. e. good layers and table fowls CON-
bined in one breed.
Whoever heard of a successful dali
ryman milking nothing but Poll-An-
gus cows, or a cattle feeder feeding
nothing but Jersey steers? Feed and
labor r too high to run the risk. Did
you ever stop to think that if every
hen and pullet of laying age in the u.
S. could be made to lay an extra egg
each month for a year, that the eggs
sold at present prices would pay our
national debt prior to our entry into
the present war?
The average hog breeder does not
hesitate to pay from thirty to one hun
bred dollars for a good Poland China
boar to breed to grade sows, but you
could not convince him in six months
a cockerel of the right type, that would
increase his egg production from thir-
ty to forty per cent is worth from
three to ten dollars each.
The time is coming and at no dis
tant dag, when the proper selection
Of poaltry for eggs and meat will be
taught in odr rural grade and nigh
schools by competent instructors. You
can easily calculate what this infor-
nation would be worth to a commu-
nifty. Any boy or girl who can mas
ter the game, and it can be done, will
have a valuable profession, and one
that is not crowded, either.
Ny advice to any lad ten years old
or over, who loves chickens and who
wants to become an expert judge of
the egg type of hen, is to first trap a
few English sparrows; study their
conformation carefully, kill a pair of
hen sparrows, pluck them, boil the
meat from their bones over a slow
simmering fire, hang up the skeletons
and tag them. Then kill a pair of hen
o and treat them the same way.
Compare the two. 'Tis said the hen
sparrow lays more eggs for her size
than any known breed Of fowl and the
crow lays fewer eggs. If you don't
begin to see light after comparing the
sparrow and the crow, add to your
museum an old blue guinea hen and
an owl, hawk, and quail. Your mother
her hens every year. She
should know her best layers from the
poor ones. She will sell her best lay
ers in time on account Of age. Get
her to give you this good old "has
also her poorest layer. Treat
these hens as you do the birds. Then
compare the skeletons, and by this
time you will plainly see the differ

ence in type. In time you will become
so proficient that you will discard
your trap nests. II a hen is free from
disease and vermin, you will be able to
judge within ten or fifteen eggs how
many eggs she will lay within the next
twelve months, if she is properly fed
and cared for.
You can't rely solely on trap nests.
Sooner or later you will have to come
to judicious selection, no matter
whether you want to or not. Trap
nests may be alright for the. little
brown hen, but won't give you a line
on the big red rooster. A good rooster
is half the flock, and a poor one all
of it.
1t seems to be the style and fashion
for most people to keep a lot of board
ing hens, who year in and year out eat
out of their own pocketbooks, and
show a tidy little sum on the wrong
side of the ledger at the end of the
year.
In conclusion permit me to say that
| do not lay claim to a discovery.
This is not original with me-wish it
was. My attention was first called
to this plan or system by an old sy-
rian poultry dealer and raiser at IL
berius, on the Lake of Galilee, who
claimed to have received his informa-
tion from a Hindoo M. D. from CAL
cutta, who came to Tiberius yearly TO
take the baths at the hot springs

demand Of the employees for basic
eight-hour day with time and half
for overtime and double time for Sum-

announced this week in Washington.
In making the award, Mr.. Ford said
he believed the straight eight-hour day
better than the so-called "eight-hour
basic day."
Commenting on the award, Joint
Chairman Frank P. Walsh said that
the straight eight-hour day is being
generally recognized as more salts
factory than the basic eight-hour day,
and stated that Mr.. Ford's decision
would give impetus to the tendency
for it's adoption.
