the season Of incubation by beginning
It earlier, thus making better use of
incubation and brooder equipment, II
also makes use of more eggs for incu-
baton purposes, which is conceded to
be better practice for poultrymen
The early Matched Leghorn cock
erels, most of which are surplus are
ready for sale as broilers In early
April when prices are at their hest
These early broilers help TO offset
lower prices which usually must be
accepted for the same type of broll-
ers that are Matched In April and are
not ready for the market until June
or thereabouts. In view of these adj
vantages 1t Is believed that poultry.
men should make money on their Feb
ruary-hatched surplus of Leghorn
cOcllerels.

Eggs are worth money In that summer
period, and as the older hens are
falling off in egg production at that

with leaps and bounds.
In the later nineties the cannas
came to the front. In the parks and
the private lawns appeared the
round and oval beds of cannas,
Tall ones and dwarfs with improv-
ed flowers and different colored
foliage
Then the Dallas came to the
front, great coarse things like the
Japanese chrysanthemums in
hundreds of shades aud many
new varieties. New varieties
brought ridicuously high prices
for a while, but like the others,
the dahlia fad has had its day, and
folks with refined taste realize
that this flower has little to com
mend it and its popularity is fast
waning.
1t is not 50 with the lilies and
the roses. Tlese have been loved
you might say, from time immem-
mortal. They have been enshrined
il the hearts of the people of the
world and have lived in song and
sentiment in the ages past as today
and whatever new flower the
plant wizards may evolve, these
will never be superseded. 0thes
flowers may command attention
for while but the lily and the
rose will live on and be loved as
long as the old sun shines and
flowers bloom.
Narcissi and tulips have held
their own during the past, and
though short-lived, they cheer the
heart for a month or so, while the
roso and the lily will give forth
their fragrance and beauty, not

When the next national emergency
arises the American doughboy probably
will be armed with a semi-automatic
shoulder rifle that will increase his fire.
power and insure him more protection
than the present service rife.
The new semi-automatic rifle is being
tested. Maj. Gen. Robert H. Allen, chief
of Infantry, advised Secretary of War
Davis in his annual report, made pub
lie yesterday.
These tests indicate clearly the
practicability of an eventual replace
ment of the present magazine rifle with

Experiments with motor vehicles for
cross-country transportation of Infan-
try units under field service conditions
were carried on during the year with a
degree of success. Large units are to
be equipped with cross country motor
cars and trucks for further tests.
Gen. Allen recommended the issuance
of more and better uniforms to infan-
trymen. He added that the present
system of expecting the soldier to main
tain his company recreation rooms, his
major sports and his moving pictures
