ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars Of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points In producing sec
tons showing that a total of 40 cars Of
strawberries were on the way to Chi
cago, and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
markets.
Shipment Diverted.
'Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said a strawberry
man, who received the wire from
Washington. and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars Of Strawberries instead Of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
bureau Of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40. and because
the other 20 cars went TO different
markets many growers received checks
that gave them a profit on their ship
ments.
Helping the Uncle Henrys.
Guesswork In marketing of fruits
and vegetables has gone. The market
news service is working for many
"Uncle Henrys" and also for dealers
and consumers. No one profits when
city receives more Of any fruit or
vegetable than It can consume. and
as a means Of correcting such a condl-
ton II Is necessary TO know how much
produce is en- route 20 that city.
The market news service for fruits
and vegetables, with its many agents
and with assistance from railroad off,
cials, gives daily a picture Of market
conditions throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places

Dear God, Hdo not plead or pray
To hold me in the sheltered way,
Shielded of mind and heart.
That asks too much of eveii Thee,
That sets too slight task on me,
That shirks my rightful part.
If | be saved from sin and woe,
From suns that scorch, from winds that blow,
By tenderness of Thee,
What though my brow be all unmarried
My soul unseared, my hands unsecured,
What merit is to me?
Dear God, only ask the right
To battle forward toward the light
The right to stand-or fall!
Set me between the false and true;
Mine be the choosing which do,
Mine be the burden, all
Shield me not even from the wrong,
Dear Cod else how shall be strong
To heed another's cry?
Yea if have not self-control
Over the sinews of my soul,
Better thou ettest me die!

place them under a more quiet one
whose eggs are Matching at the same
time.
When the eggs hatch unevenly, as is
frequently the case, those which are
slow in Matching may be placed I'M
der another hen. Hens often are rest
less after a part of the chickens are
out, which allows the remaining eggs
to become cool at the very time when
steady heat is necessary to successful
and strong matches. Remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as Matching is over.
The mother hen should be fed as
soon as possible after the eggs are
Matched, as feeding tends to keep her
quiet Hens that are not so fed will
sometimes leave their nests. In some
cases it is best that the hen remain
on the nest and brood the chickens for
at least "a hours after the Matching
is over.
1t is important at this stage of in
cubation to guard against lice and
mites. Before the hen and her chick.
ems are removed to a brooding coop
she should be busted with good in
sect powder This should be repeated
every two weeks or as often as is nec-
essary until the chickens are weaned.
II lice become thick on the chickens or
if they are troubled with "head lice"
a very little grease such as lard or
vaseline may be applied with the fin
gers on the head, neck, under the
wings and around the vent. Great care
is necessary, however, not to get too
much grease on the chickens as it will
stop their growth and in some cases
may prove fatal.

BEST RESULTS FROM CHICKS
Those Hatched Early Are Stronger and
More Vigorous Than Those to
Come Out Later.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
All things considered the early
Matched chicks give far the best re-
suits. AS rule they are stronger and
more vigorous than those Matched later
in the spring. They are produced from
eggs laid while the hens are in their
best breeding condition. After long
period of laying hens lose something
of their vitality and their capacity to
transmit vigor to their offspring, and
so late-hatched chickens are, on the
whole, decidedly inferior to early
Matched in inherited vigor and consti-
tuition.
Because they are more thrifty and
vigorous, early-hatched chickens make
quicker, better and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Thrifty chickens
get more from a given quantity of feed
than others. Weak and understood
chickens often consume as much feed
as much larger and better-developed
birds and still make no perceptible
growth.
