F. W. Kaxmeier. poultry husband-
man of the extension service of the
A & M College, gives the following
information to poultry raisers:
Every farmer and poultry raiser
should make it a point lo closely cull
his flock in the fall of each year. It
is often possible to discard a third of
the number, or more, thus reducing
ffH'ii bills without noticeably affecting
egg yields. The following proven facts
should enable anyone to detect the
best layers:
1. Hens that molt late, and quickly,
are the best layers. By this is meant
hens molting during the latter part
of September. October and November
are better layers than those molting
earlier It is poor judgment to keep
those birds molting early and sell
those molting late although this is
done on many farms. Experiments
have repeatedly proven that 200 egg
hens do not begin to molt until Novem-
ber.
2. Individual hens with pale color-
ed shanks, in such breeds as the Rock,
Wyandottes. Reds and Leghorns, are
considered better layers than those
with bright and yellow shanks. This
indication is true only when applied
in the fall of the year, and among
breeds with yellow shanks.
3. The above principle applies also
to the color of ear lobes in breeds
with yellow, creamy or yhite lobes.
The many varieties of Leghorns can
be divided with this indication. The
Rocks, Wyandottps and other Ameri-
can. Asiatic and English breeds have
red ear lobes, hence this Indication for
these breeds is valueless. Experience
has shown that leghorn varieties with
with ear lobes in the fall are better
layers than those with yellow or
creamy colored ear lobes.
4 A constitutionally strong bird,
one that passes through the molt
quickly and easily, is a better layer
than one that develops all kinds of
ailments during this period.
5. Hens that show the least brood-
iness are better than those that are
broody a large part o f the time
6. A bird with closely worn toenails
is considered a better layer than one
with long toenails.
7. A hen that goes into the molt
with worn and ragged plumage is a
better layer than the bird with no such
marks that bespeak hard work during
the preceeding year.
8. A bird first off the roost in the
morning and the last to return to It
at night Is considered a better layer
than the one that spends the major
portion of her time on the roost, or
stands around with a "humped-up" ap-
pearance in a corner of the pen or
basks all day In the sun.
9. A singing and working individ-
ual is always a better layer than the
quiet and laxy kind.
10. Hens that go to roost with a
full craw are good layers, herfee the
saying: "A heavy eater is a good lay-
er." k
11. A fowl must carry a little fat
In order to be in laying condition. A
poor or lean hen can never be a lay-
ing hen.
12. Rather large comb and wattles
for the breed is considered another
characteristic of a good layer.
13. Some breeders insist that leg-
horn* with rather high tails are bet-
ter layers than those with very low
tails. %
14. Pullets that commence laying
early are considered better layers than
those that mature late, hence the
statement: “Keep the early laying
pullets.”

Teutonic allies are responsible for the

Washington, worried by war and I
weather, pacifists and prohibitionists,
contractors and conscripts, slackers and
suffragists, aviators and alarmists,
food and firearms, loans and liabilities,
taxation and talk, the cabinet and con-
gress, has not enjoyed a good laugh iu
a long time, or, rather, felt in the
mood of indulging in ope. Here and
there, however, the development of war
preparations has brought to the surface
Incidents that show that American hu-
mor is not to be suppressed, even by |
grim visaged war.
There is, for instance, the case of I
young Mr. X., who took his troubles to
the White House aud related them al-1
most tearfully to Mr. Tumulty, the sec-
retary to the president.
“I am a slacker, Mr. Tumulty, and 1 j
Just can’t help it,” said young Mr. X.
“I can’t fight, and I know it. it isn't I
here.” pointing to his heart. “1 couldn't |
hold a gun in hand aud shoot a man.
and I would run like the dickens if any-1
body shot at me. If they grab me afld
put me in a trench I will Just die. |
that’s nil there is to it.”
Haa Been Drafted.
"Have you been drafted?” asked the |
president’s secretary, with solicitude.
“Yes,” replied the honest slacker. I
’’and I've got a feeling that they’re |
going to nail me.”
"Oh, I wouldn't lie too sure about I
that,” said Mr. Tumulty consolingly.
You look to me to be a little bit under |
the prescribed height.”
‘No; tlmt’s where my hard luck I
comes again.” said young Mr. X. dole-1
fully. "I'm just a half inch over.’
“Oh, well, they’ll find something the I
matter with you,” reassured Mr. Tumul-
ty. “How about your general health?”
‘Not a chance,” mournfully said the
honest slacker, wiping perspiration
from his brow. “My health is fine.
Honest, Mr. Tumulty, there ain't a
thing the matter with me except l am|
afraid. 1 tell you 1 can’t flghf.
wake up in the middle of the bight |
and see myself under a pile of flead
men, with the cannon blatting - alii
around and every bullet coming my
way. It isn’t that I don't want to be
a soldier, but I Just haven’t got the ’
goods; that's all.”
Well, what do you want me to do?" |
asked Mr. Tumulty.
“I don’t know. I just want you to I
get me out of it some way. I thought]
maybe you could drop ’em a note tell
Ing ’em to stick me in some place. I
counting cans of beans or signalling tip
in the Rocky mountains or something
like that so long as it’s as far away
from the firing line as possible. I Just|
can't fight and I know It."
Mr. Tumulty'* Advic*.
'Well. I'll tell you what you do.” ad-|
vised the president’s secretary. “Just
write a frank statement of your case
to the exemption board of your district]
and they’ll let you off.”
“No; I don't want to do that," remon-
strated young Mr. X. "Because if 1|
do all the boys and girls I knoW will
get on and hand me something worse
than the kalser’a millets. I thought I
maybe you had a place around here
handy that I could fill. How about
running erranda for the president or
doing something like that where I'd be|
safe?”
The case of young Mr. F. of an Ohio [
town furnishes a study in military
psychology. He applied for admission |
to the training camp for reserve offi-
cers “because he looked well in uni-
form” and some Of his girl friends |
“dared him to get into the army.” Hel
got In and Is in a fair way of being |
promoted to tbo grade of first lieuten-
ant.
Less than a mouth’s discipline, how-|
ever, has taken al) the martial spirit]
out of him, and for three weeks he has ]
been pleading to officials of the govern-
ment hy telegraph and letter for per-1
mission to quit. Tho report of his su-
perior declares that he is fitted in ev- j
ery way to he a suitable officer, and the
indications are that he will continue to |
“look well in a uniform.”
The case of Mr. K., who conies from |
a “family of fighting Irish,” shows that
he has Inherited the spirit of bis tribe. |
Starting nearly four months ago, young]
Mr. R., whose home Is In Massachu-
setts, haa been turned down hy the tna- ]
rlne corps, the array officers’
corps, the aviation sections of both the ]
army and navy, the signal corps, the
quartermaster's division, the Red Cues |
and a college hospital unit
Tha chief objections to the fighting]
Irishman .at* that one of hia lungs is
bad, hia sight la not good, hs haa rari-
seat veins and has hardening of the
arteries. All this has been made qu'
;1«ir to young Mr. K. by Impartial i
leal examiners. But, bless your heart,!
it hasn't discouraged him the leeat hit.

timism, determined to "beat my

Warm weather and the season
for light wearing apparel of all
descriptions has not nearly pass-
ed, but these goods must now
make way on our shelves for fall
and winter supplies. We prefer
to unload at a discount rather
than box and store them for an-
other season. There’s plenty of
time yet to get good value out of
Summer goods and yet have them
left for much wear another year;
We have reduced the prices to a
point that would justify their use
for the balance of this season only
