SELECTION OF
EGGS FOR HATCHlNG

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 little
care in selection.
It 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.

Canned Goods viii Stand
Little Freezing Without
Any AppreciabIe 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 1t
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:
':Nost canned goods will stand q
little freezing without appreciable
change. Repeated freezing and thaw.
ing cause the foods to become liabby
and gives Nat taste. Such 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 ac-
tual damage varies with the different
kinds Of canned foods and In general
10 somewhat similar to damage done
by freezing the same food In the fresh
condition.
"An canned goods whether frozen
or not should be inspected for evi-
dence of spoilage, due to leakage or
insufficient processing. Such spoilage
Is indicated by swelling Of the cans
and by nm unpleasant flavor or odor
Of the contents"

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

Unless properly installed and used
the small stove is dangerous as
source Of fire, according to the United
States department Of agriculture.
Some people expect too much OF a
small stove and overwOrk it. If
stove is too small for the space 1t is
expected to heat it 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 tho
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
inflammable material. Screens, to pre-
vent Goals dropping on the floor.
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
flreplaces should not be used unless
provided with effective screens.
Chimneys should be cleaned regu.
larly to remove SCOT and any other
inflammable material. This is best
accomplished by means Of pieces Of
metal (such as scrap tin), limbs Of
an evergreen tree, or bundle of brush
attached to a rope, chain, or wire and
worked up and down in the chimney
from the top.

Japan's Urban Population
Rapidly Increasing as in
Other Civilized Countries

When we speak Of Japan mainly as
an agricultural country this gives an
inadequate conception Of the great
strength of the urban population which
Is increasing In Japan as in other CIV
ilized countries, writes H. M. Hyndman
In Asia Magazine. Apart from Tokyo
with its 1900, 900 Inhabitants, and Osa'
ka. with 100000, there are five other
cities which have together a popula'
ton of 100000, and there are in all
C8 towns with population Of over
10000 each. Moreover, the greater
part of the larger cities and towns
are collected close together In COM
parisOn with the total area Of the
Japanese islands. Railways now con-
meet the main industrial and agricul'
tural centers, supplementing the ad'
mlrable water communications Dy sea
and canal. This concentration of In
dustrialism and Improvement In trans.
port combine to give Japan q focus OF
material influence which can scarcely
fail to increase her pressure upon
China in time to come. A glance at
the map shows how this long process
sion of islands from Saghalien to For
mosa, lying like series OF Wharves
along the coast of eastern Asia, with
its outposts and inlets at Corea, on
the Liaotung peninsula, at kiao-Chaou
and now at Fukien, gives Japan an
enormous commercial as well as
strategical advantage in the competi'
tive war of the near future, as com
pared with her rivals In Europe or IN
America. Never In history was 50 re-
markably favorable a geographical
situation in the hands of one nat1on'
controlled by men capable Of taking
full advantage Of it and looking to the
future Of Asia as in some sort the
heritage of the japanese race. j

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 a large number Of relatives
have informed the war department Of
their desire to have the bodies re-
turned. In the near future q 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. G. 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

be given through the public press.
1T is not deemed advisable to grant
requests for relatives, friends or un-
dertakers to 60 to France To- super
intend the preparation and shipment
of, or to accompany bodies back to the

been formed, known as grave regis

Strychnia Most Useful and
Most Used Stimu|ant to the
Heart and Nervous System

Ask any physician ''What is the
most useful and most used stimulant
to the heart and nervous system2" and
he will answer ''Strychnia," notes q
writer in Milwaukee Sentinel.
Strychnia is an alkaloid found orig
inally in the seed of the strychnOs nux'
vomica. the poison-nut tree found IN
India, Burmah and Siam and growing
also in Cochin China and Australia.
The tree is of moderate size and
has fruit the size of small orange,
with a hard shell and bitter pulp In
closing one to five seeds, less than one
inch in diameter and One-fOurth inch
thick and shaped like disks. 1t Is
the bitterest substance known, and
when one has heart failure, or nervous
exhaustion, or Is run down or needs a
tonic, some doctor Is sure to give him
the alkaloid from one of these peculiar
Indian trees.
Text books on medicine frequently
refer to "emergency heart stimulants." ."
meaning by this drugs used by ny.
podermic injection to produce prompt
stimulation of weakened heart.
Some Of the most valuable heart stim-
ulants require a good deal of time aft
er being given to produce their effects,
hence the need of emergency heart
stimulants. Strychnine, we know, Is
splendid emergency heart stimulant.
A tree which has various Species
several hundred, In fact-throughout
the world, and Is Of some medical
interest, is the acacia. The acacia
senegal is the type Of tree which for
nishes gum acacia, or gum arabic.
While acacia is not possessed of any
marked curative properties of itself, 1t
is a constituent of many important
preparations in pharmacy, as, for In
stance, in the making Of emulsions,
where its heavy mucilaginous quail
ties make 1t a valuable vehicle for oily
and resinous substances. 1t is also
widely used in the preparation of pills
and troches.
Gum catechu, a substance contain
ing tannic acid and used I'm dyeing,
which was at one time used as a rem
edy in colitis and dysentery, comes
from the acacia catechu and acacia
suma, both native to India.

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

Although the protein of the grain
sorghums is less dlgestible than that
of corn or wheat, all of the sorghums
except kaoliang furnish fairly good
source of protein and practically as
good a 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, it 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 f1neness
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 !;
kaflr, 51.2; feterita, SOC; milo, 40;
and kaoliang, 1913. In the expert
Inents 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-
proximately "a per cent for milo, and
only per cent for kaoliang. The d.
gestibility Of the carbohydrates was
high for all six grains, ranging from,
95.3 to 986 per cent.
