under pleasant conditions. Hence the
improvements in lofts and factories
even to the extreme or supplying mu-
sic to accompany work.
Good schools are recognizing the
fact that children do better work
when they enjoy what they are do
ing. Hence the project system in
modern primary education which
makes little children's work into a
game.
There is no interest, no hobby, no
fun. like work, provided it is the work
that is fun to us. And the most for
tunate people in the world are those
who have the work they like or who
can like the work they have. For one
of the most substantial pleasures in
life and one which grows with age is
the constructive joy of work.
That is something important for
parents to remember. with regard to
their children. And to parents who
are agitated about discovering the ma
ture of genius or talent possessed by

and don't worry about the rest.

TIME NOW TO PLAN
FOR PROFIT MAKING
Selection of Breeding Hens
Important.

For hen to be a high producer
poultry farmer she must mature early,
lay well during the winter months and
continue this production during the
hot summer months.
'"The factor causing the birds to lay
for long periods is referred to as the
quality of persistency and is inher-
tied or passed on from the dam and
sire," says c. j. Maupin, extension
poultryman at North Carolina State
college. Therefore, if breeding hens
are selected in the late summer or
early fall and winter this quality can
be noted and only the late molters
selected"
Those birds molting in June, July, or
before August 15 are lacking in this
quality and should never be used in
the breeding pens. The best hens con-
tinue to lay through September and
lay much later, and from this group
should be chosen the next years
breeders.
| Mr.. Maupin states that good males
are also necessary for continual high
production in the flock and that at
least one or two pedigreed males
should be secured for special mating
pen of the best hens. These birds
should have a pedigree record with
female ancestors laying 200 eggs or
more. He urges, however, that only
those birds of known pedigree be
bought and that these be secured from
reliable breeder.
Records of four of the best flocks
In the state last year showed an aver
age production of 100 eggs hen with
average returns above feed costs Of
| $2.70 hen. On the other hand, four
of the flocks having the lowest return
produced an average of only 1918
eggs a hen for a net return above
feed costs of only So cents bird.
Producers do not have much con-
troll over egg prices but they do con-
troll the breeding and feeding practices
and in this way can improve produc-
tion and secure greater profits" says
Mr.. Maupin.

replied Peter, trying very hard to re-
member when he had last seen Light
foot.

Lightfoot. 81 know it because l have
been hiding in place you never
visit"
"What have you been hiding for"
demanded Peter.
"For my new horns to grow" re-
piled Lightfoot. "When my new horns
are growing | want to be away by
myself. l don't like to be seen with
out horns or with half-grown ones.
Besides, l am very uncomfortable
while the new horns are growing and
want to be alone"
Lightfoot spoke as if he really
meant every word he said, but still
Peter couldn't, he just couldn't be-
lieve that those wonderful great horns
had grown out of Lightfoot's head in
a single summer. "Where did you
leave your old horns, and when did
they come Off" he asked, and there
was doubt in the very tone of his
voice.
''They dropped off very early last
spring, but / don't remember just
where" replied Lightfoot. II was too
glad to be rid of them to notice where
they dropped. You see they were
loose and uncomfortable and l hadn't
any more use for them because
knew that my new ones would be big
ger and better. I've got one more
point on each than had last year.
Lightfoot began once more to rub
his horns against the tree to get off
the queer rags hanging to them and
to polish the points. Peter watched
in silence for a few minutes. Then,
all his suspicious returning, he said !:
"But you haven't told me anything
about those rags hanging to your
horns"
"And you haven't believed what
have already told you," retorted Light
foot. 81 don't like telling things to
people who won't believe"

Overcome Chick Vices

Chick vices of feather picking and
cannibalism cause tremendous losses
each year. Four principal causes ac-
count for much of the loss-over.
crowding, overheated brooder houses,
too much sunlight in the brooder house
and empty mash feeders. Each Of
these causes can be overcome. The
number Of chicks to each house should
be controlled carefully. Heat of the
houses should be as low as possible
and yet secure satisfactory growth.
The problem of light in small house
is harder to control because it is nee
essary to have the windows open for
ventilation. Usually, however, the
windows can be shaded. Ample feed
ing is not a difficult problem. More
or larger feeders will take care of tk-
needs of the birds.

LIGHTFOOT'S NEW HORNS

DETER RABBIT was puzzled. He
wee bit suspiciously. Lightfoot had
just shown Peter how very fierce he
could appear when he wanted to, and
now Peter had discovered what looked
like bits of old fur hanging to Light
foot's horns. "Have you been tear
ing somebody's coat?" he asked. He
didn't like to think it of Lightfoot, of
whom he always had thought as be-
ing quiet as gentle, harmless, and
timid as himself. But what else could
he think?
Lightfoot slowly shook his head.
"No." said he, Il haven't torn any

"Then what are those rags hanging
on your horns?" demanded Peter.
Lightfoot chuckled. "They are what
is left of the coverings Of my new
horns," he explained.

Vitality Important

depends on the degree of vitality pos
sessed by the parent stock, and we
cannot expect strong and sturdy chicks
from poorly fed hens and cocks, win

fact that chickens from ill-fe1 fiocks
suffer from an all too common dis
ease, recognized by the incomplete

Tabulating Cost

According to the Massachusetts ag-
ricultural experiment station where
over 5000 eggs were incubated and
3,200 pedigree chicks were produced.
the labor required per chick for incu-
baton and pedigreeing was between
six and seven minutes. Up to the
age of ten weeks the labor cost in
brooding was .43 hours per chick. One
experiment estimates that under COM
inercial conditions where large num-
bers are raised it requires 500 hours
of labor to grow 1000 pullets.

THE BEAUTY OF

BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

I HAVE seen lot OF people who
were homely. in way;
Some were thin and some were portly.
some you couldn't hardly say.
There was something wrong about
them, as so frequently appears,
In the way their noses titled, in the
angle of their ears.
But you suddenly forgot it, whether
fat or whether thin
For no face was ever homely when 1t
started In to Grin.
Though they didn't have the beauty
of Adonis and the rest,
They'd another sort of beauty that
was brotherhood expressed.
For lighthouse may be builded, build
ed nobly, builded right,
But to make the house lighthouse
it will have to show light.
And you neighbor wants neighbor,
not a walking photograph;
They may talk about your beauty, but
they want to see you Laugh.
For fellow is a failure, with the fea-
lures of a Greek,
If he hasn't any sunshine in his sys-

homely, in way,
But the world forgot about it when
