HOW TO PICK
PAYING HENS


Do you know which chickens in your
flock are producing enough eggs to pay
for their feed?
Can you tell the hen that lays six
times that number, many of them in
the season of high prices?
Can you tell the steady layer from
the ''boarder" in your flock without
first opening her and looking at the
egg sack?
Those are some of the questions that
puzzle poultry farmers the country
over.
The hen that produces three or four
eggs a week, and is on the job nearly
the year around Is the hen that Is al
ways hustling, according to J. G. Hal
pin of the College Of Agriculture, Uni
yersity of Wisconsin.
She is the first hen off the roost in
the morning and the last on at night.
She is always foraging; following the
blow in the spring in search of grubS
and cut-worms, roaming the woods ana
fields during the summer, devouring
many injurious insects and their lar
vac, and busily cleaning about the
threshing machine or gorging herself
on weed seeds in the fall. She is the
hen that is unafraid, yet nervous; the
hen with the bright eye and the scar
let comb. She Is always singing as she
works and is generally at work
scratching away for dear life making
her own living out Of Gods good green
earth. She goes often to the water
tank and drinks deeply for much of the
eggs she produces is water.

Women HAY Be in Demand as
Jurors in Suffrage States

The reduction through the war In the
number of men available for service az
jurors and the fact that women in this
state have obtained the suffrage, sug-
gest that before long we shall have
women in the jury boxes, says the New
York Herald.
If the next legislature makes women
eligible it will be interesting to see
whether they will willingly serve or
whether they will be like the men who
daily besiege the Office of the commits
sioner Of jurors seeking exemption and
resorting to questionable devices III the
attempt to obtain it.
In the case of a woman on trial for
crime woman jurors would have a han
dred clues to character and contact
that are imperceptible to men. And
when passing upon one Of their own
sex there would be no danger Of wom-
pn being so emotlonally lenient as men
have shown themselves to be.

The Battle of Battles

No battle 10 the worlds history
approaches in magnitude the one
that has been W G ng for so long on
the west front. Whether Picardy
or Flanders is the scene of major
conflict, whether the Ypres or
Amiens experiences the focus OF
the German urge, the battle re-
mains the relentless and slaughter
accomplishing battle of the nations.
The battle of Europe it may be
. but the battle of humanity it will
be heralded in history.
Here are met the titanic forces
of oppression and Of freedom, the
malice driven foes of liberty and
the defenders of the right of all
men to determine their forms OF
government; here are met the
power of nilitaristic dynasty and
forces that would break the power
of militarism forever.
On one side in this conflict are
the forces of enlightenment and on
the other those of a false kultur.
On, one side are the, issues of liberty
for the world and on the other the
issue cf the permanence of the
government of the Kaiser. On the
one hand are the forces of de-
termination bent alone upon max
ing the world safe for democracy,
on the otter are massed the forces
of autocracy. How can the world
of freemen doubt that their liberties
will be f. in the ssh of the con-
fict, to which the young American
republic that gave to Europe its
ideals of Freedom is contributing
its all?--EX.

German language and German
names are being eliminated in the
South as we'll as other sections of
the United States. Preachers are
discontinuirg sermons preached in
German, the language will no MOI e
be taught in many of the schools,
cities have change names on &C
count feeling toward the brutal
Huns, and it il now hard to find
a German" street in any town or
city. Our neighbor, Harrison
burg, has lately changed the name
of her German street to Liberty.
Those who think that this is
carrying the thing too far would do
we'll to anyalize carefully their own
loyalty. Mrs. Hanger. in her ad-
dress here Friday, uttered a truth
when she declared that there was
no neutral ground: We are either
for America or against her, loyal or
disloyal. How any American can
hereafter tolerate the name Ger
man, as associated with kultur,
and as understood to-day, is be-
yond comprehension. Some may
we'll feel proud of their good old
honsest slop-bucket Dutch blood,
but where such pride is warrant
allie there is found no trace Of the
variety that coutses through the
veins of the German ruling classes,
the demoniacs of Europe.
