America Not So Bad.

The recent discovery that American
men today are noe any more defective
physically than they have been In the
past has lesson OF encouragement says
the State Department of Health. The
discovery should silence the pessimists
who think humanity is deteriorating.
To be sure, many preventable defects
were recently brought tn light through
the draft examination but only 20. III per
cent were rejected on physical grounds,
whereas In the Civil War the draft
authorities rejected 31.69 per cent OF the
men summoned. General Gro WIDER states
that in view of the advance in standards
In medical diagn o,is, the figures indicate
q decided improvement In the physical
conditions of the young men Of the
nation. II the spasmodic public health
work and the general betterment efforts
since the Civil War have moved the phys
ical average ahead even q little against
the tide of recently developed industrial
conditions and the rapid "whirl" of
modern society, the future with the we'll
organized efforts of society to control
disease has much more progress in store
for US. Society's opportunity to do
more than simply control disease; the
opportunity to build up Q virile, active,
conten'ed citizenship, In itself gusran-
tee Of progress, Is at hand.
Maine's relationship to the general
situation is shown by the fact that while
Maine stands fourth among the states
and territories in the ratio of voluntary
enlistments to the gross quota, she is
very low In her ratio of men physically
qualified to serve In the army. While
S5 81 per cent of the men examined In
South Dakota were found qualified, only
81 IS per cent of those in Maine were
accepted.

Hatch Early Chickens.

John 8. Carver. Extension Instructor In
Poultry, University Of Maine.)
Mr.. Poultry. keeper are you planning
to get In on that high priced fall egg
market? Do you realize that the early
broiler catches the high market pricesP
The time to make the most money
with poultry products Is the time of year
they are scarce 10 the general market.
Eggs bring high prices In the fall and
winter and broilers In May and June.
Nothing can do more to increase the
poultry production in Maine than to
hatch early chickens.
Late hatched pullets are not profitable.
Pullets hatched In June and July do
not mature until early winter at the
best. It takes late pullets from 7 to 8
months to mature from the time of hatch.
ing. Late Matched chicks do not have
the vitality, are often very stunted and
undersized, because of the very hot
weather and cold weather coming on
before they are matured in the fall. 1t
costs more money to raise late hstcbed
pullets because It takes them longer to
mature and at the same time they are
not laying eggs at time when market
eggs are at their highest price.
Because the market Is usually glutted,
late batched broilers, rooster and capons
bring very low prices. They are often
sold at loss to their owner.
April and early May Matched pullets
mature quickly, cost less to raise, and
begin to lay in September and October
at time when eggs are scarce and high
in price. They are stronger, thrive
better aud have the advantage of long.
or growing season. They make good
winter layers and records show that the
profit on the hen is made In the fall and
winter, the rest Of the year just about
pays for her keep. Good winter layers
are high producers. Early layers will
brood early next spring.

Advice to Burn.

Of William Kelo-msrk its truth:
The farmer gets more good advice
than any man beneath the sun. The
magazines would treat him nice, 90 tell
him once and twice how bis duties
should be done. And lecturers with
bulging brows In country schools lay
down the law; they tell him how to
groom bis cows, and how to raise blue
ribbon sows by feeding artichokes and
straw! The editors Of weekly sheets,
who never pushed span Of mules; cit
In their chairs with leather seats, and
tell him how to raise bis beets; and for
bis guidance lay down rules. The men
pursuing other trades, We oil assume,
know what to do. No man the merchant
prince upbraids, or ohides the lawyer
Til he fades, or to the plumber hands
afew. The sexton, he can dig q grave;
We do not stop to tell him how, or show
the barber how to shave, or tell the
tightwad how to ssve, the dairymsn can
milk his COW. But every man 10 town
believes no husbandman knows how TO
farm; and 90 We criticise his sheaves
and tell him how to shear hIs beeves
ssd treat the old mare for the heayes.
and bore him till he has tbe peeyes, and
to his shoulder rolls his sleeves, and
tries to do NJ deadly harm.
