Egg Laying Contest

In the thirteenth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs the 100 pens produced 2640 eggs or a yield of nearly 38 per cent. This is only three eggs more than last week but 353 eggs more than last year for the same period and 229 more than the seven year average. Not only this but the birds have produced more eggs for the thirteenth week this year than in the same period in any of the seven previous contests.
 Apparently the Leghorns have be- come tired of having the American breeds take first honors for the week for we find pen of White Leghorns owned by Andrew L. Chr, Walling- ford, Conn.,, in first place for the week with a production of AZ eggs. Another pen of the same breed en- tered by A. P, Robinson, Calverton, N. Y., and pen of Barred Rocks en- tered by H. E. Dennison, East Lan- sing, Mich, tied for second place with a production of 46 eggs each. Albert T. Lenzen's pen of White Rocks from No. Attleboro, Mass, and a pen of White Wyandottes own ed by Woodbridge Orchards, Wood bridge, Conn.,, tied for third place with a total of A eggs each. Fourth place goes to Seven Hills Farms pen of Barred Rocks from Katonah, N. Y. for yield of 43 eggs. The matching season is at hand and the following hints will be found helpful: Collect matching eggs often. Hold at temperature of 50 degrees. Do not incubate eggs more than ten days old. Operate incubator in base ' ment or cellar. Set incubator per . fectly level. Provide good ventila- tion. Avoid drafts from windows and doors. Regulate carefully before putting eggs in. Operate according to manufacturers directions. The four leading pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows: PLYMOUTH ROCKS Seven Hills Farm-Barred 4O9

Agricultural Study Courses
 Pranarad Ene Rural

Prepared for Rural Schools
 State departments of educationI desiring to introduce agricultural courses of study into elementary schools are taking advantage of the assistance given by Federal and State authorities in the, preparation of suitable courses. The Office of Agri- cultural Instruction of the United States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the various State departments of education and State agricultural colleges, has prepared outline courses for Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland, Virginia, Arkansas, and North Carolina, and has a similar course under preparation for Okla homa. The aim of such courses is to assist the teacher of agriculture in presenting the subject matter to the school pupils. They are used as seasonal guides in connection with bulletins and other material now employed in teaching agriculture in the elementary schools,

What Is Egotisn1 and What Self-KnoWledge?

(She did not mention Lloyd George
"As a rule the British are very re-

But Mrs. Asquith wouldn't go on:

Let us examine her book. Mutually:

After a careful reading of Margot's
diary, believe her critics are unfair.
She is self-conscious. self-esteeming and
self-searching, but hardly an egotist.
For instance. she quotes herself as say
ing: IF you want TO discuss me, am
always willing to listen: there is MOTH
ing / enjoy SO much as talking about
myself" The true cgotist is unaware
that he is talking about himself. :.
Again, she relates that she spoke with

or not.
Though Margot quotes many letters
praising herself. she includes many
which are certainly not iattering. such
as the letter which accuses her OF al
lowing too much love" and another
letter from the unemployed" who, on
hearing of her engagement to Asqullh'
wrote that. knowing Asquith had no
sympathy for the unemployed. he hoped
Mrs Asquith would be one Of the worst
tartars possible" Most damaging OF all.
Margot relates how lady rebuked her
for unconventional unchaperoned visits
to the bedside of a sick man, and finally
declared that she (MargoD had no
sense of right and wrong.
With an almost pathetic self-search-
ing. Margot is anxious to note down
everything bad about herself as wei
as good, and il she finds more good
than bad. why not? Her swift, clever
characterizations, her keen thrusts and
talented sketches are something OF
which to be proud, and a woman does
not make lifelong friendships with great
personalities unless there be something
great in her own mind ard soul
Yet Margot has the reputation Of De-

woman in the modern world l have
heard no end of remarks about her con-

an unassailable social position. . g.
How unconsciously these contribute to
La grande maniere" The
king can do no wrong. If Margot is
scolded for unchaperoned visits to a
mans sick-bed, the beau monde laughs
and says. How original" Did not DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler himself intro
duce her at the lecture haI?. But If lit
tie Mary Jones is criticized for unladylike
behavior would DR.. Butler introduce her?
Here. indeed is a profound psychological
problem. Perhaps some of our leading
psycho-therapists can predict what he
would do.
Speaking of psychologists. doubtless
Margot's book will be soon Freudlanized.
1t is easy to pick out the passages the
Freudian would seize upon. About If
teen pages are devoted to ecstatic praise
of her father and the fathers
"transference' is described as "He was
proud of his children -. our
praises were stuffed down newcomers
threats till every one felt uncomfortable.
He sometimes introduced me with emo
tional pride to the same man or woman n
two or three times in one evening"
How the Freudian will enjoy Margot's
reference TO her mother: Fond as we
were of each other and intimate over all
my love affairs, my mother never really
understood me; my vitality. independent
happiness and physical energies filed
her with fatigue" And further on !:
Few women have speculative minds nor
can the deliberate. Mamma was
in all these ways like the rest of her
sex" There are many passages of
great significance to the searchers for
the father complex. When Margot was
worried about love sTair. she admits /:
Worse than ttat, IL brought me up
against my father, who has often said
to me: You will never r,arry that man
Margot talks much of love but did she
ever really love? Some friend wrote
her: You ought TO put stop to the
temptation of making people IoUe you.
You need not be afraid Of not
lovin0 Asquith intensely"
And further on there Is the pathetic
confession of most neurotic tempera-
ment (p. 26S): 1 am fundamentally
nervous, impatient, irritable and rest
less. These may sound light shortcom-
ings, but they go to the foundation of
my nature. crippling my activity. lessen
ing my influence and preventing my
achieving anything remarkable :"
q. am driven along by my tempera-
ment till I tire myself and every one
else"
On next TO the last page Of her diary
Nargot writes: But, after all. what
can one say of ones inner self that cor
responds with what one really Is or
what ones friends think one is?'
Verdict Mrs. Herbert Asquith Is not
an egotist She is seeking self-knowl
edge. Standardization. She ends her
book with the hope that perhaps she will
not die but live to be an improved self.
She wanted so much to analyze herself
she had 10 write q book to do Il In.
Everything in her life had to be de-
scribed. puzzled over and dissected. She
had to write about herself to find out
what others thought. She wanted the
truth. so she tried TO be truthful. :.
The Diary Is an evidence OF a powerful.
talented ego seeking creative expression,
seeking naturalization.
Anyway. as Walt Whitman says.
"Egotisn suffuses all"
