portance should be attached to judg-
ment based on the appearance of the
comb alone.
The best way to deal with such hens
Is to feed them heavily to fit for mar
ket. Many of them will begin to lay
when they regain flesh and lay well
for few weeks or months. They
should be kept as long as they lay,
feeding well all the time; but sold
or Killed as soon as they stop laying
again. They are not the kind to keep
over.
A hen that is very fat at this season
Is a poor layer without question. One
that Is very thin and poor now may
have laid well through the winter and
spring, but unless the poultry keeper
is conscious that shortage Of feed Is
to blame for her poor condition, 1t Is
safe to conclude that her best laying
days are over.
Judging Layers by Pelvic Bones.
The width between the pelvic bones
when considered in connection with
other points of structure and condition
is fairly reliable index of marked
differences in the laying capacity Of
fowls. Good width in this region is
generally associated with sufficient
breadth and depth of body to give
the double wedge shape" which is
often called "the laying type"
To be a good layer hen must have
body capacity for vigorous vital and
digestive organs and also for a con-
siderable number of eggs in process of
formation. A little careful observation
will enable one to judge marked diff
ferences In laying capacity, as these
affect or are affected by structure Of
the body quite as well by the form Of
the bird as apparent to the eye as by
actual measurement of the width of
the pelvis. The latter, however, Is of
greater service in determining whether
hen is laying at the time of han
ding; for in the same hen the width is
greater when she is laying than when
she is not. This Is a natural differ
ence, the body being more distended
when carrying eggs and the bones of
the pelvis separating more when a hen
Is in that condition to give easy pas
sage when the eggs are extruded.

Most words of wisdom that fall from

with the idea that only mans love is
worth keeping and that woman's can
not possibly last.

stead be encouraged to talk about his

GULL GROWING PULLETS

A flock of growing pullets
nearly always contains a consid-
cradle proportion of birds very
much under size or in other
ways poorly developed. Most
poultry keepers are inclined to
keep these until the flock is
culled at maturity. 1t is much
better to Gull them out as soon
as they are marked as conspicu-
ously backward.
In war time, with feed scarce,
press of other more important
work Is the only excuse for let
ting them remain. They will
never make a profit, and the
sooner they are eaten the less
will be the loss. Even where
foraging Is good 1t does not pay
to keep them. 1t is much better
to let the good pullets have all
the feed.

NOT so BAD As THAT.

How the anti-Geman sentiment
is obtaining a foothold in the minds
of the younger generation Of Ameri-
cans was illustrated strikingly in a
South Illinois street soft drink place
one evening recently.
A man entered the place and
bought a drink from boy about
twelve years old. He handed the lad
a SIS bill and received the correct
change. He had just emerged to the
sidewalk when the youngster rushed
after him and excitedly called:
where's that teller that gave me
this bill? It's no good. It's on the
German National bank"
And it required the efforts Of sew
eral bystanders to convince him that
the money was all right.-Indian-

GOES TO CHINA

Mr.. and Mrs. S. Malcolm Cowles,
who with their two attractive small
sons have been visiting the families
of Mrs. Jennie Thomson and Mrs.
Belle Stofer, left Monday morning
for Shanghi, China. Mr.. Cowles is
being sent by the International Y. M.
c. A. committee of New York.
Mr.. Cowles, who is a graduate of
the University of Tennessee, civil en-
gineering class of 1911, has been in
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton work for the past seven years,
or since his graduation. He first
served three and one-half years with
the "Y" at Nashville, and was gen.
eral secretary for one year at Frank
fort, Ky.
In Memphis Mr.. Cowles has been
actively associated in many move
ments for civic betterment and made
a host of friends for the "Y" there
and for himself. His work as execu-
tive secretary of the Memphis organ
ization has been particularly com
mendable and has resulted in a ma
terial growth in the membership.
Mrs. Cowles was, prior to her mar
riage in 1914, Miss Rebecca B. Ken
dali of Mount Sterling, Ky. She is
a graduate of the Kentucky College
for Women and comes from one of
the best families of the Blue Grass
section of Kentucky. She has con-
stantly entered into the spirit OF the
association work with her husband
and has been a potent factor in his
success and development.
The call to service in China has
come through the foreign work de-
partment of the International com
mitee of the Y. NJ c. A. In respond
ing to this call Mr.. and Mrs. Cowles
feel that they are entering into "a
larger field Of Christian service. The
best wishes Of their many friends go
with them on their long journey
across the Pacific.

WAR LESSONS

Its teaching us that life is real,
That service must be manhood's
seal;
That high above each far flung goal
There shines the beauty of the soul
And more than cheers and more than
fame,
And all the pleasures man may claim,
We've come to learn, in days Of
strife,
Is using well the gift of life.
It's teaching us, as nothing could,
That we're one might brotherhood:
That kings are only kingly when
They stand to serve their fellowmeu,
And he has failed who draws apart
And, over proud and cold of heart,
Views life from sells restricted zone
And counts each loss or gain his
own.
It's teaching us in bitter ways
That gold is not the thing to praise;
That what we take unto ourselves,
Like dusty books upon our shelves
That strangers hands may never
touch,
Is lost to life, tho valued much,
We're learning from the worlds dIs-
tress
the lesson of unselfishness.
We're reaping from wars crimsOned
sod
New reverence for Almighty God;
By what he does, shall man be
known,
Not by the riches he may own;
Out Of the chaos and the strife
Shall come high ideal of life.
