SELECT YOUR EGGS FOR
HATcHlNc CAREFULLY

One OF the most important items in
poultry production is the careful se-
lection Of eggs for Matching accord
ing to ]. w, Sanborn. extension poul-
try husbandman OF the Utah Agrical-
tural college, Mr.. Sanborn has drawn
up the following suggestions regard
ing egg selection for the benefit of
poultry production.
Set only good sized eggs uniform
In size.
Set only good colored eggs uniform
in color.
Eggs weighing less than two
ounces should not be used for hatch
ing.
Larger eggs hatch larger chicks.
Larger chicks grow faster than the
smaller. they are marketable as broil.
trs earlier, they mature younger and
they begin laying sooner.
These facts apply to all breeds.
The comparison are made between
small and large chicks In the same
breed. Careful selection of eggs for
Matching pays. Don't neglect IL.

FARMERS UNION A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION
(Spokesman-Reyiew.)

In the management of it's ware
houses in Washington and Idaho the
Farmers Educational and Coopera-
tive union, now in annual convention
IN Spokane. sets a gratifying exam
pie OF successful cooperation by
farmers.
Evidently the farmers union is
alert and progressive. for the ap-
pointment of a committee has been
authorized to visit alberta, Saskat-
chewan and Manitoba, to study the
operation Of farmers elevators in
the Canadian provinces, where there
are said to be 780 grain elevators
operating under the central manage
ment.
The Spokesman-Review has long
been convinced that cooperation is
the best and readiest means OF bet
tering farm conditions in this coun-
try. The very obstacles that have
made farm cooperation difficult
the comparative isolation of the
farmer from other farmers in number
make 1t all the more imperative
that he should have cooperation.
Alone he can accomplish little for
the betterment of farm life in the
state and the nation. No matter how
great the effort that is required, the
farmer should strive for ever-increas-
ing growth and improvement of his
cooperative organizations. He should
not be discouraged If, at times. pro-
gress is not as rapid as he would like
it, but rather reflect upon the truth
that without cooperation his voice
would be feeble and his influence I'm

RURAL SCHOOL LUNCHES.

"Oh, Mother" cried little Ann,
bursting into the room with lunch
box and books. 1--WE had the most
fun at school today. AT recess we
took the potatoes that Miss Brown
asked us to bring and put them way
down in the ashes under the FIRE.
Then when noon came we took a
lstick and dug them all out. They
were all brown and we ate them with
the butter and salt we had brought.
Oh, they were good"
"Yes. and we had cocoa, too, that
Miss Brown let the big girls make.
Here comes Margaret, she'll tell you
about that. And Mother, didn't feel
so tired and sleepy this afternoon, SO
l guess Miss Brown was right. She
said we could study better If we had
something hot at noon. Hope we
have it every day"
Then Margaret, a tall, quiet girl of
IA, told her story of the hot lunch.
This morning Miss Brown gave us
each little book-bulletin, she call
ed it-about Rural School Lunches,
and let us read it at reading time. 1t
has lot OF interesting things in it
about making food, the making of
hot dishes. and the equipment need
ed In the back are. recipes for good
school lunches. We made cocoa to-
day by the recipe that we found on
page 13. and it tasted SO good with
our cold lunch"
Miss Brown let us big girls put on
our aprons a little while before the
noon bell rang, and put the milk on
and get the cocoa and sugar ready.
We had to serve the cocoa and clean
up the dishes and pans afterward."
SO that is why she wanted you to
bring aprons and towels!
''Yes, and we are to have regular
cooking lessons that way. The boys
will help too. They wiped the dishes
and swept the goor today. The bulie-
tin came from the Extension Depart
ment, University of Idaho, which is
at Boise. and anyone can have one
who writes for it. Miss Brown says
that they publish many other bulle-
tins, and that we can learn SO many
things from the specialists there
about food. clothing, poultry, and
good health.
"The new clothing bulletin will tell
just the proper clothes for children
to wear. and will give suggestions for
cleaning and making over dresses
and suits. You can send your name
in and they will send their new bull
letins as they come out and any
already printed. Perhaps we can find
out a way to make over that green
dress of mine that hate SO the way
it is.
