PROPER HANDLING OF
EGGS IS ESSENTIAL
SELECT MEDIUM SIZED, WELL
SHADED EGGS FOR HATCH
ING PURPOSES
U. S. Dept of Agriculture
Figs can not be expected from
tii's and neither can a full hatch
of strong chicks be expected from
poorly - .selected, carelessly - handled
atching eggs. The hens may be
faithful sitters or the incubator, if
one is used, be on its best behavior,
but the best of incubation can not
oveieome the handicap of poor eggs.
Many a person who gives the chicks
the best of care as soon as they are
out of the shell, bestows on the eggs
he is saving for hatching only the
most cursory attention and then when
only a few birds hatch out is surpris
c 1 and grieved at his poor luck. Luck,
those who know say, doesn’t enter
into successful poultry raising. It is
eternal cure and vigilance on the part
of the owner of the flock that spells
success or failure.
Breeding Stock Need Varied Diet
Strong, fertile eggs are the prime
essential in good hatching. These
can only be obtained from stock
properly mated and kept under the
b. st possible conditions to secure
is aith and vigor. Eggs from over
fat breeding stock do not usually pro
duce a large percentage of strong
chicks. If breeders are confined they
should be fed a varied supply of
grains, meat, and green feed. The
green feed assists in keeping the
fi vis in good breeding condition. The
range is usually an important factor
M.~.> in the production of hatchable
eggs.
From 8 to 12 females of the Amer
.1. an. or general-purpose class, and 12
i • 15 of the Mediterranean class car.
be mated with one mold, depending
on his age and vitality. Abundant
ventilation in the house is a groat
help in lumping the stock in good
breeding condition.
Abnormal, .mall and poorly-shaped
i v g; should be discarded. Do not r. it
eggs which have thin or very porus
appearing shells Eggs should be set
when fresh, if possible, and it is not
advisable to use eggs for hatching
which are over two weeks old, al
though stale eggs will frequently
hatch. Selecting unifi rmly large eggs
for hutching, which are of the same
color, is one of the quickest ways
u secure uniformity in the offspring
and increase the size of the eggs.
Dirty ergs should be cleaned by
rubbing lightly with a damp cloth,
i ut care should be taken not to rub
"tf any more of the natural bloom of
the egg than is absolutely necessary.
Broken eggs in the nest may coat the
r< t with albumen. If this is not
was',.. 1 otT the hatching qualities will
l>e imparied.
Do Not Allow Eggs to Uhill
Eggs for hatching should be collect
ed two or three tin.es a day in freez
ing weather to prevent chilling.
Broody hens allowed to sit on eggs
in the laying nests all day may hurt
the hatching qualities of the eggs.
Eggs from different varieties of
the same class of poultry may be
incubated together, but it is not ad
visable to mix white eggs with brown
eggs as white eggs often hatch
little earlier than brown eggs.
Neither the hen nor the incutator will
hatch strong chicks from weak germs
or from eggs which have not receivtd
proper care.
MI ST MAKE RETURNS ON
INCOME TAX BY MARCH 15
It was announced from the office of
Jack Walker Collector of Internal
Revenue, that the federal income tax
is now due, and from now until the
night of March 15 the annual return
covering incomes for the year 1919
must be made, together with paymcri
of tax due.
The burden of fulfilling this obli
gation is placed on the taxpayer. Ev
ery person must determine for him
self whether his net income for 1919 i
was sufficient in amount to requir,
a return.
If he is single, a return is required
if his net income for 1919 was $100*) ;
or over. A widow or widower i
classed as a single person.
If he was married and was livirg
with his wife a return is re
quired if his net income was $2,000
or over. In his net income he murt
include that of his wife and his minor
children, if any.
If a tax is due on his income he
must make payment with his return.
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least
one quarter of the tax must accom
pany the return. The filing and pay
ment must be done before midnight
of March 15, or he is classed as a de
linquent and is subject to severe pen
alties.
It is urged by the Internal Reve
nue Buerau that taxpayers obtain
their blanks at once. Failure to have
a blank form at hand for an eleventh
hour return will not relieve a person
of penalty for failure to comply with
the law.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return, and
these should be carefully read and
strictly observed. There is also pro
vided a “work sheet” which should be
used for making the original eompr
tations, and which should be retained
and preserved by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case,
should bring such matters to the at
tention of the nearest Deputy Col
lector or Revenue Agent, who will
render every necessary aid without
charge.
DF.LUO MAN RETURNS
FROM BIG CONVENTION
.1. R. Hcasley of Calico Rock spent
Friday in town en route home from
Little Rock, where ho attended a sales
and service convention held by the
W. I’. Calloway Co., Delco-Light Dis
tributors for the general sales terri
tory of which this county is r. part.
Practically all members of the dis
trict sales and service organization
were in attendance at the convention,
and took part in a program which
covered sales, advertising, financing,
service and other branches of the
Delco-Light work. The list of speak
ers and the program included, besides
the heads of this territory, several
representatives from the factory at
Dayton, Ohio. Among these were
R II. Grant, general manager of the
company and others representing the
sales, advertising and service depart
ments. The convention was closed
with a banquet on Wednesday night.
In speaking of his trip to the con
vention Mr. Ileasley said "These sales
and service conventions are periodic
and fairly frequent affairs with us.
And they’re based on just one idea,
that of better electric service for the
farm home. We believe that our
I business should include a lot more
than selling Delco-Light plants to
farmers. When we visit a man who
is interested in Delco-Light for his
farm we want to be able to thorough
ly analyze his particular electric ser
vice problems, to answer all the ques
tions in his mind, to advise the best
possible way for him to make use of
the Delco-Light service. And after
he has Delco-Light and is enjoying
the conveniences of electricity, we be
lieve that it’s our business to see that
he keeps right o?i being well satisfied.
“So we get together every once in
a while, talk things over and get the
latest information from the district
headquarters and from the home of
fice at Dayton.
“I never come away from one of
those meetings without feeling that
I'm about one hundred per cent bet
ter able to give farm folks in this
community the kind of electrict ser
vice they want and need on their
farms."

*JVo Rheumatics*’is a Mighty Poor
Reason for Wearing a Wooden Leg
NO sting or '.of bumm’ is a mighty weak-kneed

bacco is mild \r.< ■ * r nd yet as full of “fun” as a
barrel of mon! ..y -well, that’s another story—that’s
Velvet
And ’cause why?
’Cause Velvet is brought up—not jerked up by
the hair. It’s r carefully as a favorite child.
It’s cured in the t >; fresh air. And it mellows away
for two years in wooden hogsheads ’til it’s smooth
and rich as crea n. The wonder would be if Velvet
Wasn’t a whacking good pipe smoke.
“Let Nature mellow yo’ to
cco ap' that tobacco will shore
r. allow yo’ nature,” says Velvet
Joe. And he’s pretty nearly
right.
NATURE-AC «NG in the wood does more to
make rob > r. Ity than any camouflage you
can cover it wit' unit you forget it See, taste,
smell, feel the in Velvet Why,
you can almost c - the tobacco you can
judge with you md specs on.
There's a whole ;. in v cure's way of making
good tobacco L ,tw. And it’s all in Velvet
Here's to a fe' pipe and a friendly one.
