CULLING OUT FLOCK
Non-Laying Hens Should be
Away and Nothing But
Producers Kept.

Ability to choose between the
laying hen and the nonlayer is
easily developed by poultry own
ers and should be put into prac-
tice in culling the flock if the best
returns in both eggs and meat are
to be had. In any flock some hens
will be found which are such
poor producers that they are I'M
profitable, and these should be the
ones to eat.
All hens molt in the fall or early
winter. This molting characters
tic is easily observed and, when
it starts to take place, means that
the hen has about finished her
laying season and is turning her
attention to growing a new crop
of feathers for a vacation before
she starts her next years work.
If it is desirable to use a part of
the flock for meat, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the early molters are the ones to
select for eating first because
they are laying very few eggs or
no eggs during this Noting sea-
son which usually lasts about
three months. The hens in the
flock which have not yet started
to mott should be retained for
egg production. They should not
be killed until they begin to mott
and their combs begin to lose size
color, and flexibility, for if these
changes have not taken place the
hens will probably still be laying
when eggs are especially valuable.
AS rule hens of the general
purpose breeds are not profitable
layers after they are 2 years old,
and Leghorn hens rarely lay pro-
fitably after three laying years.
Many of the hens should be culled
before they reach these ages and
replaced by well-matured pullets
in the fall.

INJURE SEED POTATO
Growers Must Exercise Care
in Digging and Housing
Next Years Seed.

A great many growers OF pota-
toes, when harvesting and gath
ering their seed, fail to use neces-
sary precautions, and results show
them damaged seed when ready
for planting time.
Mechanical injuries to- a tuber
are sources for the entrance of
infection which rapidly spreads to
other tubers which come in con-
tact with the injured one. If the
crop it grown on land which con-
tains many small stones the tu-
bers are almost certain to be more
severely injured than when grown
in a sandy loan soil. Hand dig
ging is not always feasible, but
it is believed that where small
stones abound in the soil it will be
desirable to- harvest the home seed
plot by hand. Much injury will
be avoided if the seed stock de
signed for planting the field plot
for the ensuing year is picked
directly into crates in which it is
allowed to remain throughout the
storage period
Storage conditions necessary to
insure vigorous seed at planting
time are more easily provided in
the North than in the South. In
the former region a well-con-
structed cellar, pit, or cave serves
reasonably we'll. The main thing
is to keep the room temperature
sufficiently to retard termination.
The ideal seed tuber is one which
has not wasted any Of it's stored
up energy by excessive los S
through sprouting. 1t should be
firm with the first sprouts just
showing. Such tubers can be de-
pended upon, if suitable conditions
prevail, to- start quickly when
planted and to make a vigorous
growth.
The general practice among
southern growers of securing seed
from the North involves, in the alb
sence of suitable storage condi-
lions, one of two things: Either
getting the seed potatoes late
in the fall and holding them over
in dugouts, pits or cellars, with
consequent sprouting before plant
ing, or the risk Of having the seed
chilled, frozen, or overheated while
in transit in midwinter. In the
opinion of department authorities,
the greatest need of the large
southern truck grower at present
is that of suitable facilities for
handling fall shipments of seed
potatoes. This would do away
with the risks of midwinter ship
ment and enable them to buy seed
in the fall when the price is US
ually below that of later ship
ments.

A consignment of oak was sent
to Europe. 1t was found to be
wormy and there was no market
for it until the consignor happen
ed to visit an antique furniture
factory. The manager of the fac
tory was busily engaged in manu-
featuring antique" grandfather
clocks, boring the wormholes by
hand. He was very glad to buy
the wormy oak and paid a much
better price for it than for sound
oak. A profitable connection was
established between the exporter
and the antique manufacturer.

CIGAR EVOLVED
THAT WON'T
BREAK
Dream of Heavy Smokers Re.
allied At Last by Lehigh
Professors.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Sept. A.
Carrying about a cigar in the
pocket without fear Of breaking It
under ordinary conditions is g. cher
ished dream Of every smoker. After
whole year Of research two pro-
fessors of chemistry at Lehigh Uni
versity, James s. Long and Henry
Ullman, have Just completed expert
ments making this reality.
The Lehigh professors concentrat-
ed their attention on the binder Of
~" 0igar, which In it's main
strength. The binder holds the
filler and is Immediately beneath
the wrapper. It was found that to-
bacco stems which are left. over
after the tobacco leaf is stripped
and which are thrown away by
most cigar manufacturers would
make a very tough paper-like ma
terial resembling a tobacco leaf
when rolled out on a paper pulp
machine. To preserve its tobacco
odor a liquid pressed from tobacco
leaves was mixed with 1t when 1t
was rolled out. This served as a
very desirable binder but could not
be used in the cigar because when
smoked this substance would give
off a burnt paper odor.
It was the problem of the chemist
tn rem, ne the burnt paper odor Of
the binder when the cigar was
s'rrke" and tn substitute the origi-
nal tobacco odor. Removing of the
obnoxious odor could not be affect
ed by any technical means such as
creating a draft through the cigar;
it had to be done chemically. This
was not only a chemical but also
""al problem, for the law will
permit the use Of only a limited
number of chemicals in a cigar.
After numerous trials extending
over the greater portion of a year
the substance made from the to-
bacco stems was so treated cheni-
cally as to make a perfect binder.
Hence the unbreakable cigar.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-An >un.
expected catastrophe, such as the
earthquake in Japan. plays havoc
| with the diagrams which have
chartered Dramatically the future
course of trade. ~
The business man in this world
OF reality faces a paradox. He
| must have theories about the
future to formulate his business
program ard, on the other hand,
he realizes that the future is to a
large extent unknowable.
Assumption Of Risks.
Seeking out in his minds eye
the. course of future events ~
affecting the particular enterprise
at which he is at the helm is the
special task Of the enterpriser; 1t
is q Job which makes ell business
speculative, in varying degrees. In
the present economic organization
OF society one OF the principal
functions of the owners OF business
enterprises-or the secuEitieb there
offs the assumption of risks.
With the present fragmentarv
nature of the information from
Nippon and the lack thus far Of e.
program Of reconstruction, it ID
not possible to state precisely what
the reflex on American trade will
be. The decline in Japanese bonds
was more definite reaction to the
Japanese situation that the slight
slump in prices Of stocks of AmeEi-
can corporations, which responded
also to other influences.
incidentally the Japanese i'm
pefial government bonds seem Sc
cure. Well informed Japanese
sources recently let 1t be known
that the gold deposits of the i'm
perfal government in London and
New York were large enough to
retire the 1925 maturity.
Other Loan Due BY 1881.
The other Japanese loan which
is held in this country falls due
in 1881. The city OF Toxic obnga-
lions fall due in 1852. and, despite
the fright shown in the early sell.
ing, 1t is likely that the city will
be able to build up its credit within
a reasonable time.
II Japan should seek to draw its
gold balances from New York and
London there would be q marked
Tightening Of the money market at
both centers, but quick wholesale
Withdrawals are not to be expected.
Japan win need balances here and
in London to pay for purchasers
of raw materials used In the recon
struetion of the devasted cities. It
was suggested in the financial dis
trict, for example. that when mat
ters become stabilized Japan will
perhaps be a large buyer Of steel
in this market.
New Loan Expected.
Bankers would not be surprised
to see the imperial government
come into the market for a new
loan to finance the rebuilding Of
destroyed districts and there Is lit
tie doubt that new financing could
be arranged.
The disturbance win be reflected
In all markets which do business
with Japan. but the occurrAnce Is
not likely to become a major factor
in American business.
