TIPS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER
Do not kill the laying hen.

Do not kill the laying hen.
Separate the good layers from the
poor ones and send the poor layers
to market.
Progress in all breeding is based on
selection.
Apply selection to your poultry.
Keep the best and breed from them
and watch the Improvements.
Keep the hustlers-those that are
on the range early and go to roost
with full crops.
The good layer is active. She is a
hustler for worms and bugs. She has
a bright red comb and bright eye.
The plumage of the good layer is
usually much more broken up than
the plumage of the poor layer.
The high-egg-yield hens are usually
late to moult. They may also have
pale or faded shanks and beaks.
The pelvic bones, or lay-bones, of
the laying hen are far enough apart
so that three fingers can be placed be-
tween them. These two bones can be
felt, one or each side of the vent,
somewhere above the vent.
The good layer has thin, pliable pei
vic bones.
There should not be less than three
or four fingers distance from the pei
vic bones to the point of breast bone.
There should also be good distance
from the ribs on one side around to
the ribs on the other side. In other
words, the abdomen should be large
and roomy, indicating that the hen has
a large capacity for the assimilation
of food and for the production of eggs.
The skin of the abdomen should be
loose enough to suggest an udder that
has been MIXED out.
The inferior laying hen of the meat
type has thick, beefy pelvic bones,
with hard Jumps at the ends. Such
hens are not heavy layers. Sell them.
They usually weigh heavy.
Sell hens that have arched, hard
1ay-bones, especially if the distance
between the lay-bones and breast bone
is not great.
Sell any hen that seems to lack vi
tally.
Market any hen that has a decided
Iy crooked breast bone, scaley legs,
long toe nails, or is ''broken down
behind.
Hens of the light breeds may be
proftably kept for three seasons
those of the heavy breeds, for two
seasons.
Do not sell early Matched pullets as
broilers. Keep them and they will be
your winter layers. They will also
prove vastly superior as breeding birds
to those later Matched pullets that are
not mature enough to lay until spring.

We Are Living in Changed
And Fast Changing World.

To us all there has come Of late the
unacceptable fact that we are living in
a changed and fast changing world,
says the Christian Herald. Under the
stress and strain of world upheaval
our physical, domestic, economic and
social life is undergoing daily the
process of change. We are adjusting
ourselves to a new environment; are
living under new legal restrictions
and abiding by new social customs
and obligations. Through it all there
are going on within us equally great
changes in our attitudes to life and it's
problems and tasks. We have been
forced out of our provinciality and
provincialism into a world outlook; an
international spirit is rising; our in
terests have taken on worldwide as
pect and our concerns embrace the po-
litical and economic welfare of all hui
mainly.

Time Required to Cook the
Beans Depends on Length of
Time Beans Have Been Kept.

In cooking dry beans, the time re-
quired either in the oven or the cook
ing box will vary with the length of
time the beans have been kept; the
older the beans the more cooking re-
quired, according to the United States
department of agriculture. Soak one
quart of beans over night; in the
morning drain them and cover with
cold water and heat to boiling. Let
boil until the skins will burst when
touched very lightly, adding One-quar-
ter teaspoonful of soda a few minutes
through cOlander. Return to the
kettle and add one teaspoOnful of salt,
one teaspOonful of mustard, three ta-
blespoonfuls of molasses and one-half
pound of salt pork, washed and
Scraped, and cover with boiling water.
Let boil 20 or 80 minutes, then place
in the cooking box. If the beans are
new, six hours in the box will be long
enough. Old beans require longer
cooking and should be left in the box

ing, and returned to the box. They
will be ready to serve for the midday
meal.
Dried vegetables, such as peas,
beans, Lima beans, lentils or corn may
be soaked IN cold water several hours,
and then after the preliminary boiling
of a few minutes kept from six to
twelve hours in the cooker. They may
be cooked with salt pork, and thus
prepared they are liked by many, or
they may be cooked with vegetable oil,
as olive oil, or they may be cooked
plain and seasoned with salt, pepper,
and butter or cream. The longer, then,
dry vegetables are cooked in the box
the more palatable and the more di-
gestible they will be.

Size of Greater New York Is
So Huge 1t Cen Only Be
Expressed in SuperlatlveS

In 1917 exports passing out OF New
York harbor had a greater volume
than the combined exports OF ASIA
Africa and Australia. The imports
coming through its customs lines ex-
ceeded in value those of the continents
of South America, Africa and Aus
tralia together.
For such operations as these, writes
William Joseph Showalter In Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, New
York, perforce, must be a great me-
tropoIis. In population it outranks
any one of half the nations OF the
earth. surpasses that of the entire con-
tinent of Australia and matches the
combined strength of the six western
most states of the American union.
In annual expenditures it exceeds all
except seven of the fifty-odd natlOhS
on the map. It's water system could
SIMPLY the whole earth with drinking
water, and its storage reservoirs hold
enough TO Stake civilizations thlrsr
for more than year. Its electric
transportation lines carry nearly Twice
as many passengers in II months as
all the steam railroads of the United
States. They could give every man,
woman and child living ride every
ten months-so much for the yard
stick comparison.
IT seems unbelievable, but If every
resident whose parents were born IN
America were to leave New York its
standing as the second most populous
center in the world would not be af-
fected. In other words, the number OF
immigrants and their children resident
in New York is almost equal to the
combined populations of Paris and
Philadelphia and greater than the
combined populations of Chicago and
Berlin.
Three people out of every four in
the great metropolis were born under
alien flags or are the children of the
foreign born. But who that has
studied the situation can gainsay New
York's Americanism?

he will learn that the alignment of q
things about his work. By this time
he will have learned what tools to use
in working about an airplane and what
tools not to use; how to make wire
loops and how not to make them. He
will know what makes an airplane fly,
and, above all, he will have learned
that the pilots life is in the hands of
the mechanic, because upon the proper
and careful rigging of an airplane de-
Ponds it's air wOrthiness. He will also
learn about propellers, why, when they
rotate in the air, they travel forward
and he will learn how to take care of
them and to repair them. Next he will
learn something about the motive pow
er, the heart of the airplane, what
makes it go, and why.
Get Field Training.
Then, after about two and one-half
months of this work, comes the day
to which all mechanics look forward
the day when the actual field work of
keeping the ships in the air" begins
There are flying officers at each Of the
mechanics schools. They are there
for the purpose of flying the planes
which the mechanics work on, in order
that the fighting service Squadrons at
the front may be simulated and that
the mechanics may be given their final
training. The airplane mechanic is
assigned to theoretical service squad
ron, and that squadron in connection
with the school and remains there for
two weeks doing nothing but the work
in which he has been trained. At 7
o'clock in the morning all the ships
which are to be flown that day (and
his will be one of them) are taken
from the hangers and assembled. ready
for their pilots. The ship of our me-
chanic is ready, his pilot comes and
gives it brief inspection, knowing that
the mechanic will have done his duty
well. straps himself in, and after test
ing out his motor for minute or two,
signals that he is ready and takes the
air. After short flight, he alights
with the report, perhaps, that the ship
is flying with one wing down, or some
other defect The trouble is then
diagnosed and remedied and soon the
pilot is again in the air, this time with
the ship flying perfectly.
Two weeks of this work and the
mechanic will probably have demon
strated to his instructors that his
training is completed. He is gradu-
ated as a highly trained mechanic in,
perhaps, the most delicate of trades,
and is sent out to take his part in
the struggle He will soon find him
self at one of the flying fields, carry
ing on the duties in which he has been
trained, and then in two or three
months the long anticipated day will
arrive when he will be passed as fiji
for regular service. He will then be
assigned TO a service squadron and
soon viii be assigned to corps and
there will commence the real work for

Significance of Adage
Crossing the RubiCon."

Rubicon was the name of a small
river which formed part Of the boun-
dairy line of ancient Italy, and on one
occasion julius Caesar precipitated
war by leading his troops across the
river. From this the phrase passing
or crossing the Rubicon became a fig
ure of speech to designate any decis-
i've or important step that was beyond
recall. John Adams, an American pa
triot of the Revolutionary period, de-
clared in a letter written about the be-
ginning of the war: '"The die is now
cast. 1 have passed the Rubicon. Sink
or swim, live or die, survive or perish
with my country, is nay unalterable de-
termination" The letter was written
just after the battle of Bunker Hill.

Plant Called "Quinoa" May
Prove Substitute for Wheat.

There has long been cultivated on
the west coast Of South America
plant called ''quinoa," which botanists

an excellent substitute for wheat, in
fact preferable TO the substitutes now
in use, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. This plant, now attracting par
ticular attention because of the short
age OF foodstuffs, has been cultivated
in South America, in more or less
primitive fashion, since pre-Inca days.

finding suitable soil and climate in
