SELECTION OF
EGGS FOR MATCHING

Set only good sized eggs uniform in
size.
Set only good shaped eggs uniform
in shape.
Set only good colored eggs uniform
in color.
All this you can do with a little
care in selection.
1t is worth while, as eggs Of good
size, color and shape and uniform are
marketable product at higher prices
than small eggs varying in color and
all shapes.
Eggs weighing less than two ounces
should not be used for Matching. The
large sized egg matches larger chick.
This larger chick grows faster than
the smaller chick.
This larger chick will be market
able as broiler sooner.
This larger chick natures younger.
This larger chick begins laying
sooner than the smaller chick.
The income is received sooner and
they are more profitable.
These facts apply to all breeds. The
comparisons are made between small
and large chicks in the same breed.
Careful selection Of eggs for Matching
pays. Don't neglect it'll. w. San
born, Colorado Agricultural college.

Bodies of Americans Who
Died in France During the
War to Be Brought Home

Bodies Of Americans who died in
France during the war will be trans
ferred to the United States if their
nearest relatives so desire. Otherwise
the dead will remain undisturbed.
Already large number Of relatives
have Informed the war department Of
their desire to have the bodies re-
turned. In the near future letter
will be sent to the nearest relative
Of every soldier or civilian whose body
rests in France, asking their wishes
with regard to the transfer.
A memorandum on this subject,
drafted by Lieut.. Col. J. c. Ashburn Of
the adjutant generals department,
says:
1T cannot be stated just now when
the transfer Of bodies will begin, as
it must be deferred until conditions,
including that Of transportation, war
rant the undertaking. Due notice will
be given through the public press.
1T is not deemed advisable to grant
requests for relatives. friends or un-
dertakers to go to France to super
intend the preparation and shipment
of, or to accompany bodies back to the
United States. Organizations have
been formed. known as grave regis
tration units, whose duty 1t Is to look
after burials, care Of cemeteries and
preservation Of Identification records
so that there will be no question as to
identity"

Canned Goods Will Stand
Little Freezing Without
Any Appreciate Change

In answer to numerous inquiries as
to the injury which freezing does to
canned goods, the bureau Of chemistry
of the United States department of
agriculture states that cold, unless it
goes below the freezing point, seems
to have no bad effect. In regard to
the danger of eating canned goods
that had been frozen, the bureau of
chemistry says:
Most canned goods will stand a
little freezing without appreciate
change. Repeated freezing and thaw-
Ing cause the foods to become flabby
and gives fiat taste. Such q change,
however, does not alter the whole
someness or food value Of the ma
terial, but it may change the texture,
appearance, and palatability. The &C.
tual damage varies with the different
kinds Of canned foods and in general
Is somewhat similar to damage done
by freezing the same food In the fresh
condition.
"All canned goods whether frozen
or not should be inspected for evil
dence Of spoilage. due to leakage or
insufficient processing. Such spoilage
Is indicated by swelling of the cans
and by an unpleasant flavor or odor
of the contents"

! Grain Sorghums Are Found
Worthy of Use and Furnish
Desirable, Wholesome Food

Although the protein of the grain
sorghums is less digestible than that
of corn or wheat, all of the sorghums
except kaOliang furnish fairly good
source of protein and practically as
good source Of carbohydrates as
the two grains in most general use.
Specialists of the United States de
partment Of agriculture, in expert
ments found that the grain sorghums
are worthy Of use in all sections to
give variety to the diet. In regions
where other cereals are not so sue
cessfully grown, 1t Is pointed out, the
grain sorghums may contribute ma
terially to the supply Of substances
suitable as human food.
Tests were made with kafir, feterita,
milo and kaoliang, both in the form
Of bread and as mush. Check tests
also were made with corn and wheat
as breads. All six of the grains were
ground into meals Of the same fineness
IN the same mill. In the experiments
with the breads, the average digesti-
bility Of the protein Of the wheat was
found to be 77.3 per cent; corn, 500;
kafir, 51.2; feterita. SOC; milo, 40;
and kaolfang, 1913. In the expert
ments with mushes made from meals
OF the four grain sorghums, the diges-
tibility Of the protein was about 48
per cent for feterita and kafir, ap-
UrOXtmatelV "a nor rent for milo ond
only per cent for kaoliang. The d.
gestibility of the carbohydrates was
nigh for all six grains, ranging from
95.3 to $3.50 per cent.

Small Stove Is Dangerous
As a Source of Fire When
Overheated or Overloaded

Unless properly installed and used
the small stove is dangerous as a.
source Of fire, according to the United
States department of agriculture.
Some people expect too much OF a.
small stove and overwork 1t. II a
stove Is too small for the space II Is
expected to heat 1t is liable to be
overheated or filled so full Of fuel
that fire will fall out on the floor
when the door Is opened. The pipe
also Is liable to be overheated and the
resultant danger is cited as great
source Of farm blaZes.
Stoves should not be placed close
to papered walls or woodwork unless
proper protection Is provided. The
floor near stoves or fireplaces also
should be covered with some nom
intiammable material. Screens. to pre-
vent Goals dropping on the floors
should be placed. The door leading
to the fire box on stove should never
be left open to check the draft, as
the small explosions constantly occur
ring in the fire are very apt to throw
out live Goals and start a fire. Open
fireplaces should not be used unless
provided with effective screens.
Chimneys should be cleaned regu-
larly to remove SCOT and any other
inf1ammable material This Is best
accomplished by means of pieces Of
metal (such as scrap tin. limbs Of
an evergreen tree, or Il bundle of brush
attached to rope, chain. or wire and
