This necessitates that the chicks be
early rather than late Matched.
Unless pullets are Matched early,
matured and well settled in their win
ter quarters before cold weather sets
in, 1t is difficult to get them to lay.
Generally 1t takes from six and a half
to eight months for pullets OF the gem
eral purpose breeds including the
Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red,

mature and start laying, Matched early
In the season they will have ample

Fable is transforming into fact. It
has been customary in categorical
statement only to allude to the hen
that lays the golden eggs. In view Of
the present prices of eggs and poultry,
1t begins to look as II the age Of the
golden eggs had arrived. With market
ing conditions for poultry products
better than ever before, with a stabi-
lized demand for quality products, and
with prospects Of larger aamounts Of
feeds being available as a result Of the
cessation of war, there is every in
centive for the poultryman's best eff
forts.
A fundamental factor which makes
for greater success with hens Is to
hatch early. The early chick catches
the worm both in the garden and In
the economies OF poultry production.
The poaAtryman who aspires to beat
the calendar and to hatch several
weeks earlier than the cut and dried
practice gains an advantage which
permits him to market quality cock
erels at less cost and greater profit
much In advance OF his associates who
are remtss in lighting their i~ncubators
or setting their hens. Chicks thrive
and develop rapidly during the early
days Of spring; the early Matched
fowls thus realize full benefits from
the propitious aud longer growing
season. .

the United States, and border war
began. Haying done this he departed,
leaving n garrison in the fort well sup
piled with arms and ammunition, not
only for their own use but enough for
distribution to their fellows. Spain
was appealed to in vain to take action
and after waiting year an American
man-Of-war proceeded to Fort Bar
rancas, destroyed the fort and its am
munition and dispersed its garrison.
Florida had become an unbearable
nuisance.
Now, by the treaty Of 1905 between
Spain and the United States, the for
mer power had solemnly agreed that
the Florida Indians should not be al
lowed to attack the United States,
Spain not having kept that clause of
the treaty Generals Jackson in 1917
was ordered TO call upon the govern
Ors OF Tennessee and Georgia for SOL
diers, to organize an army and to
adopt necessary measures to termi-
nate conflict which 1t has been the
desire Of the president to avoid, but
which is now made necessary by their
settled hostllties."
The British parliament and people
cried out for war. Spain wanted to
know If the United States was at war
with her. If not she demanded the
surrender of the captured places and
the punishment of General Jackson.
The French minister offered himself
as intermediary and diplomatic dis
cussion went on until on November %,
Secretary of State Adams sent an ulti-
matum to Spain. Jackson would not
be even censured: the captured places
would be restored when Spain gave
guarantees for fulfilling treaty obliga-
tions; the Spanish officials In Florida
must be punished for neglect of duty
and an indemnity paid the United
States to cover the expenses of the
war. And he added: I'VE shall hear
no more excuses from Spanish officials
of their inability to perform their
duty"

was continued and England was wait

to hold up his finger to place the Unit
ed States and Great Britain at war
again. Nevertheless the ultimatum
of Mr.. Adams cleared the atmosphere.
Spain was making little or no progress
against her revolted colonies in South
America and Mr.. Adams and the Span
ish minister, Don Louis de Onis, began
| navotiotiona which wpra soon tranS-

finally resulting in the signing at
