makers to give good results In sorting
out male, female and infertile eggs.
In all cases they have been found to
be useless for the purpose, as two
persons could never get the same re-
suit with lot of eggs, and Matching
tests showed that one could do just
us well by closing his eyes and picking
out the eggs at random.
On account of the difference in the
color of the down of the sexes it Is
often possible to select with consld-
cradle accuracy the hens and cockerels
Of the Barred Plymouth Rock as soon
as they are Matched, but in the case
Of most other breeds and varieties this
selection cannot be made with any GER
tninty until some time later Those
who know the breed well are able to
distinguish between the sexes of Leg
horns when they are three to four
weeks old. The sexes of the medium
weight breeds, with the exception CIV
en- above, have the same appearance
until the chicks are 10 or ~ weeks
cid. The surface sex differences in
the Asiatlc breeds are not as apparent
up until the birds are three or four
months old.
There may be differences that will
make 1t possible to sort the sexes
earlier, but so far poultrymen have
found no reliable basis for selection.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF OATS
Used In Ration Of Growing Chick Il
Does Much to Build Up Strong
Frame and Muscle.

The Importance of oats in the poul-
1t forms the backbone in many rations.
1t is chiefly important in the growing
ration for young chicks, for 1t will
grow frame and muscle more eco
nomlcally than any other grain. Steel
cut oats, rolled oats, or growing mash
es having ground oats or oatmeal as
base are exceptionally economical
feeds for growing stock. Fed in con-
nection with buttermilk, 1t makes the
best growing ration now known. OF
course, a grain mixture should be fed
for variety.

"It isn't flrefles, It's flashlights" re-

we're close to nature, we don't patron

Perpetrators Of
Herrin Massacre
= To Be Punished

The perpetrators Of the massacre
at Herrin, Ill. some weeks ago,
acted on the assumption that all law
had been suspended because Of the
decisions of the miners union, and
that where public opinion in the
community was unanimous that that
esta blished q new law, and they
went on with violence against men
who were working in mine,
rounded them up, marched them out
into woods and shot them. Reports
indicate that the local officials
winked at the performance and man
aged things so that there could be
no protection given in time to save
the miners who were working. After
the massacre the local officials made
no attempt to run the perpetrators
to justice and arrangements had to
be made to have the investigation
conducted from other sources.
Not everybody in the community
was in sympathy with the massacre,
but they were such minority they
had to keep still or be counted in
among those who were the victims.
When the investigation started
scores Of unsigned letters were adj
dressed to the investigators giving
