Money is as nec- < ossary as soldiers, as rifles, as ships, t Tho Liberty loan of 1317 is the med- , ium of that service. , The United States never was in a ' better position financially to absorb ! such an issue of bonds.

It It can be done 5lc hefore hatching and done accurately, the Talue of Mr. Plumb's discovery an hardly be estimated. 0DI Briefly speaking the theory is this. a 1 Is the chick approaches complete derelopment In the shell It becomes 1 more and more responsive to the laws ere >f gnvlty. It will continue to right vel Itself In the shell when the egg Is wa turned. Therefore If the egg after the , eighteenth day le placed In a basin of )n? lukewarm water the chick la placed In caf in upright position within the egg. In Coi attempting to right Its position Its movements cause the egg to move up ^ and down with a series of quick Jerks, mc Ohloks of strong vitality cause the egg bo' to rise and sink nearly one-fourth the diameter of the egg while those of weak vitality scarcely move the egg This Is a simple test and can bo (lone| with no Injury to the eggs.

Giv The reason for the great mortality n poultry Is not hard to find. Chickins are unhealthy and die because i hey are the most neglected stock on and he place. A hen, In herself, rcprc- vlt< ents a small value, and this being of rue, the loss of a hen, occasionally, or the . sick hen seen In the flock occasions ^ 10 uneasiness on the part of the ownir. Yet, did the owner but consider j ils yearly losses from chickens dying, wri te would soon see that his losses are tali iot so trivial. It Is estimated that ful- pie y 10 per cent Of the mature chickens the; if the country die of disease, or are Oth estroyed by predatory animals each 'ear* cat! The reason for this great loss can ^ isually be attributed to neglect and In- falI ttentton to details. Most of the poul- Hull ry booses on the farms arc not kept daii i a sanitary condition. The farmer, Sag rho takes pride In keeping his stock you arn clean, probably cleans his poul- sag ry hones but once or twice a year. ls 1 )lrty, filthy poultry houses ore the ? auses of many diseases, and not a __ ew deaths. When a hen is compelled _ 9 sleep In a room, the air of which D i constantly filled with odors from de aylng, damp manure, It could hardly e expected that she would keep In a ood vigorous state of health.
