1894 and 1876 caused hard
money to go into hiding and re-
suited in deluge of private coins
which passed as cents. The great

coins were issued during the Civil

QUILTING PULLETS
FOUND PROFITABLE
Send Birds Lacking Vigor
to Market.

BY T.. p. Jeffrey. Instructor II Poultry
Agriculture.-WNU Service.
In selecting pullets for the laying
house, the poultryman has only a
few criteria, but they are useful and
should be observed carefully. Gull
ing all pullets which show lack OF
vigor and selling them for meat in
stead of housing them as layers is
important to attaining good produc-
ton.
Selection on the basis of body
weight among pullets which are uni
formly healthy unfortunately has
but little value in respect to the
number of eggs laid per year.
In case the poultryman has an
excess of healthy pullets, however,
he might still profitably discard the
smallest birds for two reasons. In
the first place there is a we'll
marked relationship between body
weight and egg weight. In other
words, the small pullets will tend
to produce the smallest eggs during
the year. In the second place, it
has been observed in focks bred for
high egg production that there is
slight tendency for the large birds
to show higher INABILITY during the
pullet year.
1t is a well-recognized fact that
the poultryman doing his own breed
ing should at all times avoid small
body size when choosing birds for
the breeding pens. The reason for
such selection is that body size is
inherited, and by eliminating small
birds from the breeding pen the
body size of the entire flock
will profit.

Egg Shell Hard When Laid

The shell Of the hens egg is under
normal conditions hard at the time
that the egg is laid. The shell is
deposited by special mineral-secret-
ing glands in the upper part of the
reproductive system. The egg has
several hours to harden before it is
laid. There is a lapse of time of
twenty-four to twenty-six hours be-
tween the time that the yolk is re-
leased and the time that the egg is
laid. It is under abnormal condi-
tons when there is some physiologi-
cal upset in the reproductive organs
that the soft-shelled egg is laid.

seem to reflect this need. There
is nothing very new or startling to be

Dorothy Dix Says
Families Who Understand Each
Other Have Happy Home Lives.

THE reason there are so many male
and female philanderers and so
much divorce is because so many
lonely, heart-hungry men and women
are hunting for mates who will un-
derstand them and who won't stay
perpetual strangers to them.
Perhaps the worst phase of families
not getting acquainted consists in
fathers and mothers not bothering TO
study their children and find out what
abilities and talents they have That
would save so many wasted years. pre-
vent so many failures, keep so many
square pegs out of round holes that
they can never fill.
But parents don't trouble to do it.
When the average boy and girl con-
suit their fathers and mothers about
what occupation they should take up,
father and mother haven't an idea to
suggest. They have never observed
whether Johnny Is deft with his hands
or quick with his mind; whether
Sammy is a born trader or con-
genial easy mark; whether nature in
tended Mary for Hollywood or the
kitchen. So the poor, blundering chill
dren take the wrong turn Of the road
and throw away half lifetime hunt
ing for the short cut their parents
could have shown them If only they
had been acquainted.
What a pity people don't get &C
quainted with their own families.

By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Several weeks
ago bride-to-be wrote that there
were 500 names on the wedding in
vitation list and rather than omit any
one Of them she wanted you to say
that every one in the family could
help to write the invitations. I Won
der If your answer to this was as
disappointing to her as it was to me.
Il have the same problem staring me
in the face) You said handwritten
note Of invitation implies a gathering
Of intimate friends and relatives.
which you said might perfectly we'll
be true in her own case. And you
also reminded her that 500 people
usually meant only about 200 notes
Only! Mrs. Post. did you ever try writ
ing 200 notes all by yourself especially
when time is real factor? While I
had not expected that you would ap-
prove Of each one of her family writ
ing personal notes of invitation in her
name, thought you might suggest
that they write the formally worded
invitation which is usually engraved
Did you mean to overlook this form or
would it be positively bad taste to
write it?
Answer: Two hundred notes when
time is factor" would be impossible,
I agree-especially since such notes
may not be typewriter. Third per-
son notes could of course be written
by any one and so could invitations on
your visiting cards. The objection to
the formal wording is that it Is very
long. On visiting cards you could if
necessary, say: Sat. Nov. 6, wedding
at o'clock" I have never heard
Of an invitation like this, but it breaks
no rule when the excuse is necessity"
which seems to be the case at point.
