The very time to be pleasant is when the other people are cross. ' _____________ A soft answer turneth away wrath but has no effect on a book agent. The parcel post will do most anything but darn socks and rock the baby. An exchange savs that gossips have motor cars beaten to a fraz zle when it comes to running people down. A man doesn’t discover that there is a boundry line between his own lot and his neighbor’s until the first snow falls and he has to clean the walks. It is remarked that the mail order houses have not relaxed their efforts to get business just because a few dull months in the year appear. They everlasting ly keep at the advertising end of their business. If you have made up your mind to live in a town, then stand up for it, and if you know positively no good, then silence is golden. Do all you can to help along every man who is en gaged in legitimate business. Do not send away for every thing nice you want and still ex pect the home man to suit the whim of one or two possible pur chasers. The success of your fellow townsman will be your success. No man liveth to him self and no man does business independent of his fellow busi ness man. Take your home paper. Do not imagine that the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many little crevices of good cheer, social sunshine, per sonal mention, in the home paper that the big dailies do not print. Then do not abuse your neighbor. The main difference in the num ber of his faults and your own is that you see through a magnify ing glass as a critic. The ill- omened, the croaker, can do more harm in a minute than two good citizens can repair in a month. One of the latest of the sci ences, in fact the latest great division of science, is sociology. It is the study of the associated life of humanity. Being a very abstract, though highly interest ing science it might not be ex pected to produce any very start ling results. But it has. It has produced at least one result of very great practical importance. Out of the study of sociology grew a great idea which is spreading all over the country and is creating some remarkable changes. That is the idea of community development. A great many towns in this country have undertaken plans for self-development. They are doing it in the belief that the destiny of communities may be c o n s c i o u s l y and purposefully shaped by man according to the same laws which have uncon sciously and blindly shaped them in the past. Sociology made a study of those laws and revealed them to the world. Now it is the business of man to employ his knowledge of them and work them to his advantage. To believe that the social and economic forces operating in a community can he controlled by man is no vague fancy. Those fancies are created by man, and it is well within his power to control them, provided he goes about it with a foresight based in knowledge. When all, or even a majority of the towns of this country go about shaping their own destinies then will the milennium be several strides nearer. ADVICt TO YOUNG ME N.

Physician and Surgeon and Mating Fancy Fowls. If the breeding pens for the coming season have not already been mated up, it should be done as soon as possible. And they should be mated at least ten days before eggs are saved for hatching. And if the young are to show an advance in quality over the parent stock, care must be exercised in selecting the breeders. First of all, do not tolerate in the breeding pen any bird which is not strong and vigorous, and well grown. A weak, under sized bird will produce under sized young which are lacking in vigor which is so necessary to proper development. If you haven’t a copy of the Standard of P e r f e c t i o n , you should by all means secure one before trying to mate up your breeding pens. Raising Standard bred poultry without a copy of the Standard, is simply working in the dark; unless you are thoroughly fami liar with what the Standard re quires in the breed you are handling. If you have a number of fowls to choose from, first select the male and build the pen on his qualities. Bear in mind that the male is half the flock, and every chick raised from the pen will bear the stamp of his in dividuality. So select a male as nearly perfectas possible, and if you are buying, I advise putting half the money in the purchase of the male and divide the re mainder among the females. Study the male carefully, and note every quality and every de fect. In selecting the hens, have them particularly strong in any points in which the male is weak, and of course they should have as many good points in common with him as possible. The basic principle underlying the mating of fancy fowls is the law of nature that like begets like. Not however in the same degree in all instances, for one chick may bear a close resem- blence to one parent, and an other to the other. One may have the good qualities of both parents, and none of the defects, while another may have the de fects of both parents and none of the good points. Still another may have qualities or defects that neither parent shows, but which can be traced back to some former generation. This shows the importance of always selecting the best birds obtain able. Remember that breeding to gether two birds with a common defect will serve to intensify that defect in most of their progeny, and the defect is liable to crop out for several genera tions after the mating which fixed or intensified it. However, since there has never been a per fect specimen of any breed or variety, it is necessary to use birds with some defects. It is only by persistent selection of the best that we are able to show any advance. Excellent results are often se cured bv mating an extra good male with as good hens as are obtainable with the funds avail able, and the following season mate the best of the pullets back to the cock. While many people have a horror of inbreeding, there is little danger in it if it is not carried to extremes, and if all fowls used are strong and vigorous. Of-course mating to gether two weaklings is certain to produce weaklings with the weakness intensified. The novice should, if possible secure the services or advice of some person who is familiar with the variety he is taking up, or study the Standard until he knows the points to look for. There are many little points which he is apt to overlook which an experienced breeder would notice at first sight. And it is the little points that count. Any one can breed stock scoring eighty points, but each addi tional point is harder to secure, and the value of stock increases rapidly in proportion as each point is added. Often a beginner will buy eggs for hatching from an experienc ed breeder and will produce stock which will win, and will keep what he considers the best of these birds for breeders the following season, and will not produce a single winner. N atur ally he is discouraged and thinks he has been treated unfairly by the judge, but the trouble lies in the fact that he mated together birds having defects in common which he overlooked, und which has come out in the young stock in an aggravated form. So if you would breed stock that will win, study your Stan dard and study your birds. Dick Holscher, from David’s hill, was in the Grove Monday. John Matthews and Lloyd Mc Nutt are painting the N. J.
