Early Birds Have Advantage
Over Those Hatched Late

The early bird--referring to poultry
not only gets the worm but seems
to have every other advantage over
the one that is hatched late. Upon
early Matching largely depends the
success of poultry keeping, say speci-
,alists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Early hatched
chicks, they say, produce we1l-ma-
tured, vigorous pullets, which will be-
gin laying in the fall and early Win
ter. 1t is only from such early lay
ing pullets that the best production
and greatest profit can be secured.
Early hatched chicks also mean hens
which grow broody earlier the next
spring, and these in turn allow early
Newark post., 1921-04-27

matching to be continued to a greater
degree when natural methods of in
cubation are relied upon.
For several years the department
specialists have conducted early
Matching campaigns. The movement
has been encouraged by State officials
and county agents until now such
campaigns are conducted early in the
spring over practically the entire
country. Reports from poultry spe-
cialists and other sources indicate
that early Matching is being practiced
much more generally this spring than
ever before, the favorable weather
conditions being largely responsible
for this fact.

Which Will Last Longer
. Split or Round Fence Pos

:. ANONAAO Ol1SC / OSCS
Some people believe split fence
posts last longer than do round ones
Probably as large a number hold the
opposite view. The Forest Products
Laboratory of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says that one
Will last about as long as the other if
the percentage Of heartwood and sap
wood are the same in both. If the
percentage of sapwood is increased by
splitting, the split post will be less
durable than the round one. Excep-
tlons to this should be made if the
posts are of spruce, hemlock, or any
OF the true frs, whose heartwood and
sapwood are about equally durable.
/ II the posts are to be treated with
creosote or some other preservative,
the round post is preferable to the
split, because Of the comparative ease
with which the sapwood can be
treated. Experiments at the labora-
tory demonstrate that the heartwood
faces on split posts do not, as a rule
absorb the preservative as we'll as
does the sapwood.

BOARD OF HEALTH
ADVISES CONCERN
ING MAD DOGS
Tells Symptoms and Mode of
Procedure in Such
Cases

The recent mad dog scare in this
vicinity when one was killed on the
Raglan farm, makes pertinent a warm
inc issued by the State Board of
Health with regard to the handling
of such animals.
The State Board of Health in it's
Bulletin, published in November, 1919,
advises that no dog that has bitten
human being should be killed by the
owner or by any other person until at
least 10 days after the person was
bitten unless the physical condition of
the animal makes it plainly apparent
before the time that it is suffering
from rabies; and that every person
having in his possession or having
knowledge of any animal affected
with or suspected Of being affected
with rabies should notify the local
board of health at once in writing in
sufficient detail so that such animal
may be located. They say further
"the infection of rabies may be trans
mtted by a dog for several days be-
fore the animal shows any symptoms
of the disease. If the dog does not
develop rabies within ten days it is
safe to assume that there is no danger
of rabies from the bite, but if the
animal is killed at once the laboratory
examination may be negative and
there is no definite way of determin-
ing whether or not rabies may have
been transmitted. The only safe pro-
cedure in such cases would be for the
patient to take the Pasteur treatment
whereas if the dog were kept alive the
expense and trouble of the treatment
would not be necessary if the dog did
not develop symptoms of rabies within
few days. 1t should be clearly un-
derstood that every dog that is held
under observation after having bitten
a person must be securely fastened
with a chain so that he cannot escape
if he should go mad and that veter.
marian should be called Immediately
as soon as any unusual symptoms
develop"

Will Test Grain
Cleaning Device

An aspirator to be used in clean
ing wheat by removing smut dust and
foreign material at the time of
thrashing is being developed by E. N.
Bates, Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Tests with preliminary model re-
suited in the removal of approximate
lv One-third of what is ordinarily
classed as dockage, and the investi-
gators are optimistic as to the posi-
bility Of increasing this amount.
Farmers and thrashermen who have
seen the model work are quite pro-
nounced in their favorable comment.
1t remains to be seen whether it can
be brought to a degree of efficiency
comparable with the commercial
cleaners furnished with thrashers
sent to foreign countries. There is
objection to these latter on account of
the cost, weight Approximately 1000
pounds), the necessity of additional
power, and the fact that they are an
obstruction on the deck of the thrash
ing machine. The aspirator being de-
veloped by Mr.. Bates is attached to
the head of the elevator, hence, causes
no obstruction to the deck of the sep
arator. 1t weighs approximately 100
pounds and requires for operation an
additional One-half horsepower only.
Cleaning grain at the time of
thrashing and thereby saving the
farmer the additional expense for
cleaning his grain after it has been
put IN the bins, or saving the charges
Tor cleaning at the elevator, is a fac
TOR IN efficient marketing, now being
developed by the Bureau of Markets.
Arrangements are being made to give
the new device try out in the spring
wheat section of the Central North
west during the coming thrashing
season.

Americans are Poor Savers

vi the practice of national thrift,
tne American people, given over
through long years to proverbial
spending, have never been shining
examples, says the Boston Transcript.
Dollars have come to us with COM
pafanYe ease; and they have been
spent with a corresponding reckless
uhconcern. Hence we need not be
surprised at the relatively poor show
ing Of the United States in the
statistics recently collected by the
savings Banks Association of New
iofk' These statistics show that,
whereas 28.9 per cent of the worlds
savings are held by depositors in this
country, only 8 per cent of the worlds
uepoSltors are Americans.
As BELTS our total wealth, we have
soodly number of large depositors'
nut the rank and file of Americans
nave not yet acquired the habit OF
SYSTEMATIC saving, even on a humble
scale. We haye large savings, but
lew depositors. With US, 1t is a
matter Of pay as you go; with the
savings appropriation, in the budget

'hVfely or crowded out at the last
moment to give way to the insistent
uemand for luxuries.

A "Possumist"

In the early days of his struggling
at Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington
called a meeting of his neighbors, in
the endeavor to secure their interest
and cooperation. After an address
of explanation and vision he asked
for comments by his audience. The
first to respond was a colored deacon
who said: Brother Washington and
gentlemen, Ah'm an optimist on dis
heah work. All think you-all are do
ing big thing foh US cullered folks.
Yessah, Ah'm an optimist-a sho'
optimist." Then up rose a sour look
ing farmer and rasped out: "Ah'm a
pessimist. All sho' don't like to be
mean but All reckon you-alls jist
wasting yo' time on cullered college.
How come we want any higher eddi-
cation? All don't nohow. Niggah
heap sight better without any higher
eddication. Ah'm a pessimist on de
hole blame bizness. Yessah, pessi-
mist OBJ dah most pessimistic kind"
| Booker was somewhat taken aback by
this outburst and, nobody else offering
to rise, hastily called upon friendly
neighbor for a few words. "Ah've
been lissening to de prebius speak
ers, sah," began this worthy, "an
Ah'm sayin' dat All doan rightly know

The horseshoe in its most primitive
form is of great antiquity. An old
and very popular superstition, almost
universally prevalent among peasantry
ascribes to the horseshoe Especially
to one which has been found in the
road by chance) the power of barring
the passage of witches. For this pur-
pose the shoe is nailed to the door of
the threshold, and Hone in his "Year
Book" says, Mailing of horseshoes
seems to have been practiced as well
to keep witches in as to keep them
out. In Monmouth street. London,
many horseshoes nailed to the thresh-
olds, were to be seen in 1877: in 1913
Sir Henry Ellis counted seventeen
horseshoes in that street, but in 1852
only eleven remained The great Mel
son was of superstitious turn, and
having great faith in the luck of a
horseshoe had one nailed to the mast
