TT WAS foreseen that the Chinese
problem would be the most trou-
blesome for the conference, for obvious
reasons. At this writing 1t seems to
have come to q question whether the
Anglo-Japanese treaty will be abro-
gated, and If so, whether some sort
of a tripartite agreement will be sub
stltuted for It, Unless the former is
done, probably the discussions will be
fruitless; and unless the latter is
done, 1t is likely Great Britain will
not consent TO the former On Mon
day the eight powers sitting in the
committee on the Far East adopted
a program submitted by Elhu Root
by which these points were made
sure:
There will be no Intervention by
foreign powers in the present polit-
ical struggle in China.
The territorial and administrative
integrity of the Asiatic republic is as
sured.
Japan and all the other nations
agreed to refrain from a greedy scram-
BILE for commercial rights and privi-
leges there.
The "open door" finds new defnl-
ton.
Baron Kato won q decided victory
for Japan when he persuaded the
committee virtually to recognize that
Manchuria, though an integral part
of China is so thoroughly in posses
sion OF the Japanese that the status
quo should be maintained there. There
Is divergence Of views among the
British, French and Chinese as to
how the Root principles are to be
applied to specific matters. At the
close of the week the Chinese pro-
posas for lifting foreign restrictions
on China's customs revenue were be-
ing considered by subcommittee.
One concession had been won by the
Oriental republlc-permission to in
crease its tariff rate from per cent
to 1914 per cent. So far as is now
apparent. the idea of restoring to
China the various parts OF her ter
ritory now held by other powers has
gone into the discard. That question
is complicated by the fact that Rus

1t is advisable to allow the hen to

eggs need more moisture than hens

ducks much longer to get out Of the

All duck eggs should be tested at
least twice during incubation, prefer
ably on the seventh and fourteenth
days, and the infertile eggs and those
with dead germs removed. Dead
germs in duck eggs decompose very
rapidly and are often detected by their
odor and should be removed from the
incubator.
Duck eggs having pure white shells
can be tested as early as the fourth
or fifth day and the infertile eggs
sold TO bakers for use In the kitchen.

SELECT EGGS FOR SETTING
Avoid Those That Are AbnormalIy
Small and Poorly Shaped
stick to One Color.

Eggs that are abnormally small and
poorly shaped should not be uesd for
incubation; neither should eggs that
have thin or very porous shells, say
specialists Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture. If possible,
GIGS should be set when fresh, and It
ais never advisable to use for hatch
ing eggs that are more than two weeks
old. One Of the quickest ways to OBJ
tain uniformity In the or spring Is
TO select uniformly good-sized eggs
