GOO hens were culled. That this cull- ing was successful Is shown by the following figures: 19 birds were culled from flock of 54. and in the next seven days the culls laid only 70 eggs 200 birds were culled from floeks to- taling SAG and in the next seven days laid % eggs. Of the entire number of hens culled in Maine, the percentage of egg production for the entire flock was 323, for the hens left after cull. ing 40.7 per cent, and for the culls 4.5 per cent.
 The number of poultry owners in Structed in Maine was 3.0i3 and In Texas 5000, many of whom afterward culled their own tlocks. The estimated savings represent only part of the total value of this work. As result of the demonstrations in one section in Maine. 70 persons eliminated 1,420 birds as culls, while in Texas the cull. ing that resulted from all demonStra- tions was valued at $125,o0o.
 The extension agents not only dem onstrated that the producing hen could be eliminated but explained the method of culling so thoroughly that those present could go home and put it into practice nearly as effectively as the demonstrators themselves.

RIGHT CULTURE OF CABBAGE
Rich Soil Encourages Fast Growth, Large and Solid Heads-chi.
 nese Variety Differs.

The history of the development of the cabbage gives the key to its cul- ture. The richer the soil and the and solder the heads. It must be grown fast to head fast. If through lack of fertility or drought its growth is checked, there is either no real head or loose, very inferior one, the whole strength of the plant going to develop such leaves as it had produced before the check. The Chinese cabbage is an entirely different species from the com mon cabbage and its brothers.

one OF the greatest sources OF hu-
man happiness is work. And this
is truth that could be more widely

Too many follow the rule that the
more work they can avoid the great

There is no true happiness in idle
ness. Waste OF bime is form OF
thriftlessness that is as destructive
of rightful pleasure as waste OF
money or waste of health.
Work alone brings happiness, be-
cause work IS creative and upbulld-

All the instincts of the human race
which have been responsible for hui

their fulfillment only In work.
In every realm OF mans activity.
whether It be spiritual. mental or
physical, human experience has
shown that progress alone has come

This does not mean that there Is
no rlghtful place in life for play. or
that diversion Is not in accordance
