One of the by-products of n reduce houses baying eggs on grade Is 'he addition of the term "pullet ggs" (as used commercially) to the knowledge and vocabulary of farm folks. Many have felt that the produce houses were using the classification of "pullet eggs" to take an unfair advantage of producers. Whether me city market Justifies the share distinction we are unable to say. but It does seem unfair to pay 20 cents for eggs weighing 24 ounces and more per doien and only 10 or 11 cents for those welehlne ud to 22 ounces, which la vhm man houses have done this year. It seems that those produce bouses that classify all eggs under 22 ounces per doien as pullets have pushed the limit higher than general gen-eral practice tn egg buying In the United States. Either eggs weighing 20 to 22 ounces per dozen should go In the second class of hen eggs or pullet eggs averaging 20 ounces with a minimum of 18-ounce eggs should not be cut so severely In price. J.

Make every year consist of 13 months of 28 days each. The additional month should come between June and July and be called "Sol." Every year there will be one day left over ana this Is to be considered apart, possibly as a kind of international holiday. Every four years (leap year) there will be an other day to be disposed of in a similar manner. The proposal of this plan has brought forth the following arguments in its favor: All months have the same number of work days, Saturdays and Sundays and are directly comparable. Each month has the same number of whole weeks. Fractions of weeks at month ends are eliminated. ' The shifting of -week-day names to different dates in every succeeding year and month is avoided. The fixing of permanent dates for pub lic meetings, court sessions, educational sched ules, etc., would be facilitated. Periods of earnlne and spending would be co ordinated; family and business budgeting would be simplified. All months would be comparable without any adjustments being necessary for unequal number num-ber of days or weeks. Split-week payrolls would be avoided. A great amount of clerical work would be eliminated, and expense saved, in the preparation prepara-tion of accounting and statistical reports In nolentiflc. health and home affairs. As there would be 13 monthly settlements dur- inir the year there would be a faster turnover of money; the same business could be nanaiea with less money. Holidays would always occur on the same weekday. (For the Interest of Dotn inausu-j and workers. It has been advocated that, irre- snectlve of where the anniversary dates ran in the week, the holiday Itself be transferred to Monday, as now when It falls on fcunaay, me anniversary dates not being changed.) The 13-month plan would revise the calendar scientifically, completely and permanently. The arguments which have been advanced against the 13-month calendar are these: The number 13 Is not divisible by 2, 3, 4, or 6. The quarters of the 13-months year do not vintnln a whnl nnmhpr of months. There would be 13 business closings Instead nt 12. Involving increased bookkeeping. In general, a greater number of adjustments in . comparing past statistics and dares womu be required than in the 12-month system. The introduction of a year of 13 months implies im-plies comprehensive change in long established on stoma. Superstitious regard for Friday the 13th, oc-enring oc-enring every month, is difficult to overcome. It interrupts, once a year and twice in leap years, the regular occurrence of the itn aay auu Aam r Knhhatti Haw itt rest- There would be complications and expense In volved In calendar change. Believing that the International fixed calendar, al and International adoption, a group of Amer leans organized as the World Calendar associa tion, have offered the world calendar plan, revised 12-month device. In Its behalf they ad vance these 12 points: L The world calendar regulates the 12-month . . . . a 1 X 1 1 . year. It is Daiancea in structure, perpeiuai m form. 2. All holidays are stabilized and placed on Monday whenever possible. Christmas remains the same as it naturally falls on Monday, De cember 25th. 3. Religious customs are respected and op- held with Easter falling regularly on an estab lished date. 4. Astronomical conditions are recognized. It acknowledges the Importance of the solar year over the lunar cycles. 5. The ouarterly divisions of the year con form to the four seasons as they do now. This is important for agriculture and certain season able businesses. 6. The 12 months are multiples of halves and nnarters. The equal quarters consist oi months; the first month has 31 days; the re-malnlne re-malnlne two have 30 days. These quarters also comprise 13 weeks or 91 days, of which 13 days are Sundays and 78 are weeK days, wen monia has 26 week days, Sunday Is always tne nrst day of the week, whereby the continuity of the u-ppk li maintained. 7 The odd 365th day of the year is interpolated between December and January; tne swtn aay of Leap year is set between June and July. ThA dava are known as Tear day and Leap day and have a week-day name, Saturday. They f.ll nn the second flay or tne aouuie oaiuruaj, the last day of December and June.

Perhaps near- 75 per cent of the droppings produced are collected on the dropping drop-ping boards. By cleaning the boards regularly once each week It Is possible pos-sible to gather almost pure drop pings that are fresh and full of fertilizing value. To get full value from them they should be spread at once on the ground to be fer tilized and If possible worked Into the soil. To preserve and Increase the value of the droppings as well as to make the cleaning an easy Job It well to sprinkle the dropping boards with sifted dry earth, sand or land plaster after each cleaning Any of these will serve as an ab sorbent to aid in drying the drop pings and prevent them sticking to the dropping boards, in no case should lime be used on the drop ping boards, because It releases the nitrogen as ammonia and destroys the fertilizing value of the drop pings. POULTRY HINTS Mental Growth Achieved by the Effort i Bodily hunger has driven man to find ways of getting food. lie has pushed back the shadows of forests and planted fields and gardens. He has drained marshes and Irrigated arid regions, tie has Invented hoes and plows and harvesters to take the place of naked hands In gathering gather-ing sustenance for himself and his family. There Is no more Impelling motive to effort In all the range of human existence than hunger except ex-cept the sight of a starving child for whose nourishment one has a responsibility. rrofessor Jacks has called atten tion to another kind of hunger which Is general la mankind an urge to something even beyond what one has achieved, a craving for skill. It Is the repeated satisfaction of this hun ger, ever renewed, that results In mental growth and the highest sort of happiness. It is often questioned whether education has Increased hap piness In the Individual. It may be that the mere addition of information does not contribute to the making of a happier human being. But the continuing struggle for higher skill In some worthy field of human effort "creative activity" Is the phrase most often used to describe it not only brings nourishment of spirit and hap piness but adds to the wealth of the world In terms of human Intellectual values. The greatest skills of the greatest number may determine the greatest good of the greatest cum ber. Certainly It would If the choice of skills were wise and that does not mean if the skills merely pro duced materially valuable things. Plutarch remarks, In his essay on Pericles, that he who busies himself in mean occupations produces. In the very pains he takes about things of little or no use, an evidence against himself of his negligence and Indisposition Indis-position to do what Is really good. But the something which one does with Infinite pains may be of good in the development of the Individual who does It, even If the product Is not of valuable substance. Ismenlas could not have been a "wretched being," be-ing," for he was an "excellent" piper. Alexander the Great need not have been ashamed, as his practical fa ther, Philip of Macedon, thought he should have been, for playing a piece of music so charmingly and skillfully. Leisure "hobbles" are for Increasing numbers who cannot find tn the nar row range of their vocations their salvation. The mind's desire for excellence In something Is a mystery, but It. does after all suggest the course which our education must take In the de velopment not only of the child but also of the man and woman to the end of their lives. And with this sort of training should be given, as Doctor Jacks suggests tn his three "reforms," a larger place to physical education and the appreciation of beauty. New York Times.

At the beginning of the year 1931 there were 20,000,000 chickens, valued at $19,944,000, on Pennsyl vania farms.

Jr., and this leads us back Into history. his-tory. Primitive prototypes of Yale's invention were In use In Mesopotamia and Egypt as early as 2(XK) B. C. These were huge wooden affairs requiring re-quiring cumbersome keys, as we may gather from the Blbllcan passage (Isaiah 22:22) "And the key to the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder." This key, or muftah as It was and still Is called In the East, Is a stick of wood from 15 to 30 Inches long, 2 to 4 Inches brond and 1 to 2 Inches thick. Into the face of one end are set a number of wooden or Iron pegs about an Inch long. These pegs correspond with as many holes In the wooden bar or bolt which loiks the door and can only be lifted when these pegs enter the holes and lift a corre spondlng series of pins which drop home by force of gravity and keep the bar locked until pressed up by the key with Its pegs. Such huge keys opened the way Into the mighty pal aces of Ninevah and Persepolls and admitted to "hundred-gated Thebes Today In miniature and more refined fashion, the small key that enters the cylinder lock pushes tip the tittle brass pins Inside and permits the opening of the door.
