CARE OF THE NAILS
HE nails are a part of the skin.
They were developed In some ani-

and as natural weapons of defense.
Under natural conditions, they are
kept short and sharp by use. A cat will
scratch at a tree or a log to “sharpen
its claws.” In animals living under
artificial "conditions, where they do not
use their nalls, the claws may grow so
long as to be a hindrance,
Among the Chinese, long nails are a
glgn of breeding and gentility, indi

do any manual labor. They are care
fully protected by nail shields of gold
or silver The longer they are the
greater the aristocracy of thelr owner.
Finger nalls are better cared for now
than formerly, as shown by the mani
cure shops in almost every village. The
long. pointed, highly polished nulls of
the society matron or the show girl
are as unnatural as the six-inch nails
of the Chinese mandarin.

Size of Egg Not

Poultry Breeder Must Rely

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
If you are one of the many who be-
lleve that the long. slim, heavy hen
eggs are the ones which hatch out
the male chicks, and that the smaller
eges are the ones which give hirth to
the future layers of the flock, you need
to revise your opinion on the matter.
You may as well leave your tape
measure, scales, calipers and other
units at home when you go forth to
purchase a “setting of eggs” from your
poultry breeder, and rely solely on

The prime factor In brooding chicks
successfully Is to keep them comfort-

sanitary and free from vermin, At

and as the weather moderates, this
may be gradualily reduced though not
entirely discontinued. as the chicks
would then be apt to pile up on cool
nights, and heavy losses result.
