FLORIDA ROOSTER DAY JUNE 1SI

Miss Minnie M. Floyd Assistant
State Home Demonstration Agent,
University of Florida Extension Di
vision, United States Department of
Agriculture cooperating, says:
Sell, kill, or confine every rooster
by June 1.
Produce infertile eggs and help
Florida save $22O,0OO.
Florida markets 100000 dozen
eggs annually, per cent of these
spoil because fertile.
This year these $4,000 dozen
spoiled fertile eggs are worth $220oOO.
Is $22O,OOO worth trying to save?
The farmers OF Florida lose each
year large sums of money because Of
improper methods of producing and
handling eggs. One-third at least OF
this loss is easily preventable. 1t is
due to the partial Matching of fertile
eggs.
The eggs laid by hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending
upon whether or not the male bird
has been allowed to run with the fe-
male. A fertile egg is one in which
the germ has been fertilized by the
male bird. Except for this process Of
Fertilization, the male bird has no in
fluence upon the eggs which the hens
lay. Egg production is equally great
in flsAks from which roosters are ex-
cluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the fer
tilted germ responds more readily
to high temperatures than the infer
tilted one. 1t is impossible to hatch
an infertile egg or to cause blood
ring to form in one. Such eggs are
much more likely to reach the table
in good condition and there is much
less spoilage in shipments composed
entirely of them than in mixed ship
ments of fertile and infertile eggs.
After the Matching season, there
fore, the male birds should be cooked
sold, or confined. In approximate.
II days after this all the eggs laid by
the hen will be infertile. These car
be marketed much more successful!
under the adverse conditions that fire
quently prevail in the hot summer
months.
Rules for handling eggs on thu
farm:
Heat is the great enemy of eggs
both fertile and infertile.
Farm women are urged to follow
these simple rules. which cost moth
ing but time and thought and will adj
dollars to the poultry yard returns
l, Keep the nests clean; providin'
: one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool, DIR,
: room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice

A HUMORLESS PEOPLE
(By Kenneth l.. Roberts.)
Gods hand has visibly prevailed"
The Kaiser.

Gods hand has visibly prevailed
The Kaiser.
This is a horrible example of what
can happen to a nation or to an indi-
yidual that has been deprived of all
mouth and fall in a fit If anyone dared
humor.
The Kaiser is a thick, conceited
egomaniac who would froth at the
to laugh at him. A thick, conceited
person is without sense of humor
II he had one, he would realize the
absurdity of his own thickness and
conceit.
Similarly, the German people are
thick and conceited. They have stuffed
themselves with rich foods and self
adulation for so many years that they
are slow-witted -fat-headed. They
are furious when they are laughed at.
They never laugh at themselves.
Whatever they say is sound; what
ever they do is right. So far as they
are able to discover, there is nothing
about themselves to provoke mirth.
That's why it is that neither the
Kaiser nor the German people see
anything laughable in the statement
that Gods hand has visibly prevailed
though multilated and outraged WON
en- weep in Belgium and France, and
harmless homes of England mourn
mothers and children dead from
aerial bombs. Poor. thick-headed
stupid, humorless Germany

WOMAN'S FOUR DUTIES

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, in connec-
ton with her work as the head OF the
Woman's Committee of the National
Council Of Defense, is making adj
dresses in many sections of the coun-
try.
In New Orleans few days ago, DR..
Shaw spoke to a large audience on
the subject of what women are ex-
pected to do in the way Of war work,
and she seems to have had cor
rect comprehension of the situation
Judging from the following:
after a careful reading Of the
newspapers which mirror the public
sentiment of the nation" said Dr..
Shaw, land after consultation with
the heads of the various departments
in Washington, | have come to the
conclusion that there are only four
things which are expected of the
women in this war.
1.-THE first is to furnish the enthusi-
assn which will send our men to bat
tie. The second is to smile as we
atch them go; and to keep the home
fires burning when they have gone,
whether there's coal for the Tres or
not. The third is to keep business
perfectly normal-to buy some things
but not to buy too many things-not
to upset the equilibrium of trade BY
historical abstinence from new
clothes. And the fourth thing is tt
watch the larder and mix all kinds Of
Ingredients that we have never hearf
of beforehand then to make the mer
eat the result.

If they didn't realize it before, peo-
pie who witnessed the battalion drill
at Fort Meade yesterday afternoon
know now that the Polk County
Home Guards is no Joke. The men
who compose the organization are
representative men of their respective
communities, and they are better
trained than many units of the Ma
tional Guard were before the war be-
gan. The organization will be of in
estimable value in case of trouble that
may arise at any time; and the sim.
PIE fact that such body of trained
nen are ready for instant service will
so far towards keeping down trouble
Some comment has been occasioned
by the statement that the Home
Guard is under the same regulations
as the National Army. This means
that 1t is under the same regulations
as to discipline, but not as to service.
The Home Guard is purely State or
ganization and the Federal govern
ment has no jurisdiction over it. 1t
could not be called to service in an
other State or into a foreign country.
The organization is what its name i'm
plies-a home guard-and it's service
should necessity for such arise, will
be confined to the vicinity in which
IL is located. For instance, the Polk
County Home Guards are primarily
for the preservation Of order and pro.
lection of property in Polk county
but in case of an emergency that coult
not be handled by local forces, the,
might be ordered to some other poin
in South Florida But no one ha,
power to order them beyond the con
fines of this State.

THE LONG ARM OF MERCY
(By DR.. Frank Crane.)

The Red Cross is the Long Arm OF
Mercy.
1t is the kindness of mankind-or-
ganized.
In man is an angel and a devil, a
DR.. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde. The Red
Cross is the good, aroused, energized
to thwart the bad.
1t is the best antidote we know to
the bane of war.
There are other charities, more or
less helpful The Red Cross is the
mightiest of all charities, the love and
pity of all men made supremely eff
cient.
If, as Emerson said," Sensible men
and conscientious men all over the
world are of one religion, this is the
expression of that religion.
The Red Cross is humanity united
in service.
1t asks no mans opinion; only his
freed.
Black or white, friend or foe, to
the Red Cross there is no difference
it only asks: "Who is suffering" And
to him it goes.
The Red Cross is so efficient that
governments recognized it; so pure in
its purpose that whoever wishes well
his fellow men, desires to help it; 50
clean in it's administration that the
most suspicious can find no fault in it
| The Red Cross not only seeks to
alleviate the cruelties of war; it is
the expression of those human senti-
ments that some day will put an end
to war,
1t is the impulse of Love, striving
tc overcome the impulse of hate.
1t is mercy's cooperation strug
Cling against wars rivalries.
1t is the one society in which every
man, woman and child should be en-
relied for it knows no sects. M
prejudices, no protesting opinion; thu
human being does not live that does
not feel that the starving should b.
fed the sick tended and the wounded
healed.
Majestic and divine is this Ions
Arm of Mercy; 1t finds the fallen o,
the battlefield, it brings the nurse AM
the physician to the victim in the hos
pital; it leads the weeping orphan Il
home; it feeds the starving, care
FLOR the pest -smitten whom all Others
abandon, and pours the oil of help ant
bity in to the bitter wounds of tn
world.
Where volcano has wrought desc
lation in Japan, or flood in China
or hurricane in Cuba, or a famin
in India, or plague in Italy, or raw
aging armies in Poland Serbia o
Belgium, there flies the Red Cross
the angel of God, whom the fury O
men cannot Danish from the earth
and to the ends of the earth, over al
the ways of the Seven Seas, wher
ever is human misery, there is extend
ed, to bless and to heal its long Arr
o. Mercy.

THE LAUGHING CHILDREN

The blessed babes keep Laughing
through the crises growu-up
feel;
The children go on hplaying thong
Earths holocaust impend;
They know no apprehension touching
future woe or veal,
But take, each day, sans question,
what their childhood gods may
send.
And oh, how glad and grateful should
we be that it is SO!
How much we need their laughter
and the frivoling Of them!
With such to help we're leaving OF
the cerements of woe;
With them to cheer, the turgid flood
of warfare we shall stem.
Give thanks then for the children and
the surcease children bring,
We romp with them, then fearlessly
we buckle to our task.
And when we win-as win we must
if while we fight we sing
Gods blessing on the children who
have saved us, we may ask.
