If you have good looks, there is no lack of competition there are plenty of other good-looking people. There are also plenty of smart men to "see through" your schemes when they are wrong. If you have things to sell, there Is a man down the street who at least claims he has a better stock, and does a pretty good job of proving his claim In newspaper advertisements. But the man who Is polite, well-Informed in his trade, Industrious, safe as a citizen, and pretty generally travels the right road in everything, has surprisingly little competition. Imitate him and you will find the going easier. Try and make your conduct as good as that of a telephone girl while she Is on duty. Of all the well-behaved, I believe telephone girls are most notable. nota-ble.

I think the great trouble trou-ble is the people are too smart: Smart Alecks. The brown men of the Samoa Islands Is-lands will not be disturbed by anything any-thing women do. The women, the brown men say, have their habits, all well known. Why be disturbed by them? t White men are pot equally wise. They say women should act thus and so, and are always greatly disturbed because they do not And, since suffrage, the white man's burden is worse. " Homer, rated a very great man, says anger is sweeter than honey. So far as I am able to judge, this Is rank nonsense.

Your first duty is always to yourself; your-self; to make your body, mind and conduct as efficient as possible. Progress In these respects can only be accomplished by behaving better. You cannot make your conduct per-ect, per-ect, but you can make It better than t has been. Such duty as you owe your God. your family, your country, your neighbors neigh-bors and yourself, you can best pay by becoming an upright clean useful, worthy citizen. Don't waste time preaching good things; make progress by practicing them. And always remember that In the end the useful and successful man lives an easier and more agreeable life than the failure.

"To make progress In breeding poultry poul-try for egg production, a poultryman must be able to select breeding stock that will transmit to its offspring the most desirable egg qualities. These qualities are correct size, shape, color, aryl shell texture of the eggs, and a tendency to lay a large number of eggs," said Prof. G. O. Hall of the Cornell poultry department, speaking oo breeding poultry for egg production produc-tion recently. "In any breeding program there are three fundamental principles which mt?t be kept In mind. They are first a standard of excellence or ideal ; second, sec-ond, constant breeding toward that Ideal; and third, courageous culling from the time eggs are selected for the Incubator until the time when males and females are put in the breeding pens. "Aside from the personal element of the poultryman himself, two sets of factors control results. The first ret can be grouped under the term, 'heredity' those causes which are internal in-ternal and relatively hard to control. The characteristics of an individual due to this set of factors are possessed pos-sessed by the individual at the time of birth, although they may be Influenced Influ-enced a great deal by the second set of controlling fajctors. Inherent char acters are dependent,' In part, upon this second set of factors, environmental environ-mental conditions and Influences, un der which a bird lives, feeding, housing, hous-ing, and general care and management manage-ment fall under environmental conditions condi-tions and influences. "The most accurate method of controlling con-trolling heredity Is by the use of a system of Individual pedigree hatching hatch-ing and progeny testing. Such a system sys-tem requires trapnestlng and carefully-kept records. Birds to be pedigreed pedi-greed should be carefully selected and only such mating or lines which show progress towards the des-Ired goal should be continued from year to year. "When it Is impossible to do individual indi-vidual pedlgreeing, pen mating may" be used. In pen mating, from three to five males may be used In as many pens with 12 to 20 selected femnles each, and the progeny from each pen may be marked so that the different lots can be identified later. The offspring off-spring from each pen can then ha observed, ob-served, and the male lines continued from only those birds which show best results. "Egg production may be Improved also by selecting the best Individuals, both males and females, and matin them by the flock or mass method. This Is the most common practice among farmers1. Progress with It Is slow, however, and after a time a point is reached where the average egg production Increases little, If any, from year to year." Skim Milk Is Excellent Feed for Young Turkeys Sweet skim milk should be the first feed given to poults (young turkeys), according to "Turkey Talk," a University Uni-versity of Minnesota bulletin on raising rais-ing turkeys. It is first fed at thirty-six thirty-six to forty-eight hours of age, and continued as the only liquid for several sev-eral weeks. No water Is recommended. recommend-ed. A pound of dry skim milk In four or five quarts of water will give the fresh, sweet product desired. I Poultry Facts $ Feed grain liberally when using lights. Be regular In management and the use of lights. The hen's comb Is a good Index to the activity of the egg organs. ' Oat hulls should be eliminated from chick rations on account of their indigestible in-digestible charactei. Finely ground oats cannot be handled han-dled by young chicks, as the hull Is still too bulky and Indigestible. Geese should not be used for breeding breed-ing purposes until they are two years old. A gander may be used the first season. f Mixing 10 or 20 per cent of whole oats in the all-mash feed was very satisfactory la recent tests at He Ohio experiment station. Many poultry keeper? regard oats as an important part of the ration for laying hens, providing a satisfactory way of feeding this grain can be found. Little chicks are like children In the respect that disorders of the bow els and digestive apparatus are quite common among them. Early chicks should, If possible, be reared In Indoor brooders, placed in bouses which may be well ventilated and which have ample sunlight The addition of finely ground oats to the mash . mixture Is a popular r.t"! hod of feeding with some poultry wn. but they often find it difficult to get th na's finely ground.
