smiling affably, waving greeting to

She had able assistance from a tall.
smiling young fellow, who seemed to
have more than the usual complement
of hands, feet and eyes. Apparently,
he knew all about everything-and
told what he knew more than well.
Skillful shepherding landed the human

a huge marker, were heaps and mounds
and rivers of surprising things to eat

the tall fellow steadying her, and said
clearly: Listen. folks I'm going to

Half a minute and Allie stood blush

fellow, her hand in his. Miss Jerusha
smiled at them, saying fondly: Here

Early Matching Is of more Importance,
according to the comments of poultry
men, than the figures In the table In
dictate. II appears that relatively few
flock owners are familiar with the ad.
vantages of early Matching. but those
who do their Matching early find 1t a
distinct benefit. For instance, one
farmer- says, Last year all of my
chickens Matched after the first of June
were runts. Those before that were
normal and were laying In October.
The same care and feed were given to
all of them" Another observes, when
| get my chicks Matched In April and
May do not have runts In my flock"
sin another estimates that one-third
of late matches are runty. "Hatch no
chicks later than May l." he says.
or equal interest are the warnings
against ~inbreeding. I'VE have no runts
In u poultry" Is the statement OF n
Virginia farmer, who adds, I'VE buy
purebred cocks from a different strain
every year" Keep purebred fowls and
change the sire every year. Is the In
junction of another poultryman, and
his experience Is typical OF mnny others.
Farmers experiences with early
Matching tally with the results of ex-
perlments by the bureau of animal
industry Of the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture. In these expert
ments the early Matched chicks showed
n marked superiority owe those pur-
posely Matched late. There was n
n%oticeably stendy degradation In size
and type OF the late chicks compared
with those Matched early.
From these side lights II Is easily
seen that the questions Of runtiness
and good livestock management are
closely related and are tied up with
economic factors OF great importance.

tlon of runts and their remedy con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The information was obtained from
nearly 1000 farmers to whom ques-
tionnaires were sent. Although these
farmers were considered to be better
than the average, they reported that
Z per cent of their animals were under
sized to such a degree as to be called
runty. This means, II the percentage
holds true for all farms of the country,
that more than Ia, 100000 animals, not
including f%eathered stock, are runts.
In addition 6a per cent Of the poultry
on these farms was understood, which
means that there is, perhaps, eve a
higher percentage for the total farms
Of the United States.
Inbreeding and poor matings, as n
cause, are the principal factors dis
tinguishing runtiness In feathered
stock from that In other farm animals.
1t is the consensus of opinion of All
poultry owners, In all parts of the
country, that the following causes are
chiefly responsible for the runts found
