The strange, the un known, the different strike a certain terror to our hearts and we are in awe of what we cannot understand. And it is this dread of the unknown that is at the root of all the cnjel prejudice nation feels for nation and race for race. I am going to quote from a letter I have received from a girl who has bitter pride aJid is ashamed of it and who feels the aloofness of prejudice and criticizes herself for it—and yet who is not quite able to rise above her feelings. "I am much in love with a man. and yet am not willing to marry him. Can you show me how to conquer my feel ings and be happy?" writes Alma J. "I come from a light-haired northern race, and his is a southern nationality. I have a feeling of superiority that I hate myself for having. And yet he is more of a gentleman than my other friends, and is better educated and more refined. But some of his ways seem queer to me, and I can't quite make up my mind to stand the smiles of the friends who are of my own people. But I never knew a man so line and worthy of lo\ e. His is of Spanish descent and I am of Nor wegian blood. I love him and I am ashamed of my love, and in the next breath T am ashamed of myself for being ashamed. What shall I do?" My dear Alma, do one of two things. Either say to yourself, "I can not dream of marrying this man.

I came of those whose horizons never change. I like only that to which I am accustomed. "I have not sufficient strength of character to stand the criticism of people who will ridicule me out of the notion of accepting what I really want, and then will offer me nothing in place of that which they influenced me to resign.

Trap Nest Solves Problem of Loafers and Laying Hens Copyright 1914 BLACK LANGSHANS By I.ouis Paul Graham Gives Valuable Information as to Types and Breeds That Are Best Producers Can Be Used With Very Little Effort and a Minimum of , Time By .Michael K. Boycr Poultry Editor of the Farm Journal Copyright 1914 The only way by which ess pro ducer can be surely known is by the use of trap nests. Their value has been known for twenty years anil to day they are Indispensable on a well regulated farm. The trap nest tells not only which hens are the layers, but which par ticular type or breed is a producer, and what kinds of eggs thej produce. Accurate, scientific knowledge is In this way obtainable and hit or miss methods are eliminated. Many a pouU tryman has been put on the road to profit by the use of this unique de vice. The trap nest is a Yankee notion now in practical use for about twenty years. It is the only method by which the actual layers can be known, and the only way to tell the color of their eggs, as well as the size and shape. It enables us to find the hen that gives strong fertility, and the one tht gives poor. It picks out the winter layers; it arrests the egg-eater: it pre vents broken eggs in the nest; it hakes hens tame. It is more profitable to have a dozen selected layers than double the num ber of doubtful ones. The labor in at tending to traps should not exceed ten minutes for fifty nests, providing they are conveniently nrranged. A pullet that will lay 140 eggs from November 1 to June 1 is a phenome nal layer; 123 eggs is very good lay ing and no pullet should be retained for breeding that will lay less than 100 oggs in that period. I have known of traps being used thirty years ago, but it was not until the last twenty years that their value has been acknowledged. A trap nest is a device that allows the hen to readily enter, but which does not per mit her to leave until released by the attendant, who makes a note of the number on the band that is placed on Iter leg. In this way the actual num ber of eggs to her credit can be as certained. As to Kgg Types 1 believe that by examination of the pelvic bones it is possible to determine which are layers, but we do not know bow good tliey are. Neither do we know what class of eggs they lay. Some hens lay a dark brown egg, ■ some a light brown, some a pure white jand some a creamy white. Suppose we are aiming for dark brown, or for pure [white eggs, how can we best secure I that object when we are unable to |pick out the hens that give us what we want? It is true that we can gradually bring about that condition by using only the dark brown or the pure white eggs for incubation, but it is a long road to travel. If we can pick out those layers, and keep only such, we arc more sure of our results. But there are more important uses of the traps. We can pick out the hens that lay deformed eggs, or those that lay eggs of undesirable shape. We can know which hens give us the best fertility, and which the poorest. We can know which hens lay best at the season when eggs command the high- 1 i est prices, and we can pick out the heavy summer layers. We discover which are the drones, hens that do not pay their board. We are thus able to arrest the egg-eater. We catch her right in the act. We have less broken eggs in the nest, generally due to sev eral hens crowding in at one time. We can tell which hens lay the small eggs, and which the larger ones. We know how many times individual hens be come broody, which hens are the best for incubation and brooding. We know the exact time our pullets started to lay, and how regularly they deposit their eggs. Better Posted on Flock Then, too, by this regularly hand ling of hens we get them more tame. They do not become execited by hand ling. We also readily denote their condition—whether they are too fat, or too thin, or If they are starting scales on the legs, or if there is some other trouble. The trap nest affords a dally Inspection and consequently wo are better acquainted with our stock. When trap nests are used the hen takes the first available one, but in open nests it is not uncommon to have the hens select only one or two and i never use the others. Eggs allowed I to remain in the nests until night are j often staled by a number of hens set- j ting on them during the day. With the use of trap nests this trouble is overcome. Trap nests give us a system weeding out which no other method affords. This system means a saving of feed and room. A dozen selected layers will give a greater profit than double the number in which are good, bad and in different. Is it not worth the little extra labor necessary to attend to these nests? I have proved the fact that I can secure 20 per cent, more eggs with 25 per cent, less hens, by breeding only from my best layers. I have in one of my yards White Wyan dotte yearling hens that were hatched from eggs laid by hens that, as pul lets, gave a record of not less than 200 eggs each. These ten hens dupli cated the work of their dams. To these hens is mated a male bred from a 200- egg hen. In this way I propose to grow until every hen on the place is a 200-egg hen. Can It be done? I be lieve. in fact, T know. It can by the use of the trap nest, if I can get 100 hens to give me the same number of eggs thst formerly 200 hens gave me, look] at the saving I will have in feed and | house room. Is not such an object j worth working for? Will not this saving more than compensate for the I extra time required in attending to' those nests? 1 Very few cgga are laid before $' HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH o'clbck in the morning and after 3 o'clock In the afternoon. If a nest Is allowed for every three hens in the pen. It will not be necessary to look after them oftener than four times a day—but even if it would be necessary to pro around every hour during that laying period, it would be time profit ably spent. If the traps are conve niently arranged, one inan can look after fifty nests in ten minutes. Trap Nost No liuesser The trap nest is no guesser. It de velops a positive fact. It tells the truth. Tho cackling hen caught in a trap is proved to be either a layer or a liar. There are too many of the latter class in almost every farm flock. I do not follow trapping the year round. I am more anxious to have strong winter laying than I am year round records. I prefer starting my traps November 1 and discontinue their use May 31. This gives me seven of the best months, and I know that 140 eggs laid in that period show the hen to be a 200-ogg per year layer. I also feel that 125 eggs in those seven months would about equalize a 200-egg layer. And any pullet that will lay not less than 100 eggs in that time is one worth breeding from. I want eggs when prices are high. By breeding up my strongest cold-weather layers I can get them. I do not like trapping during the remaining five months (June 1 to No vember 1 > for the reason that it is the season for much broodiness in the flocks ,and the weather during the summer is too hot. Shortly after the Celestial Empire was opened to foreign trade in 18(i2 many of its distinctive breeds of fowls and animals were imported to Eu rope. chiefly through England. From the Eangshan district in China came the big beautiful black fowls which bear the name—L.angshans—and as such they were known until in later Importations some - 'lite and some mottled Ivangshans w« e found. Then the first Langslians Were distinguished by prefixing Black. History does not record their date or manner of origin. Inquiry among the Chinese brought nothing more than "I do not know; it was always so." They are peculiar to the L,ang shan district, and have been from time immemorial. The great size of this breed and its wonderful laying qualities made it an immediate favorite In England. Its fame spread to Australia and the United States and the fowls followed their fame. Many weer imported to America from England and many were imported direct from China. These all possessed the same good qualities and for many years were very popular. Valuable Utility Fowl The American breed ifi the United States and the Orpington in England and Australia had much to do with their decline in popularity, but they are yet widely esteemed and bred for their valuable utility qualities. in Australia within the last ten years, a pen of LanKshans in a laying: competi tion extending: over one full year, with all varieties of poultry represented, won first place with the highest total of eggs laid. In America they are widely bred in the South and probably some of the very" best specimens exhibited In our poultry shows are from that section. This fowl belongs to the Asiatic family, which it resembles in size and weight. Full-grown specimens weigh 8 to 10 pounds for females, and 9 to 12 pounds for males. The hens do well either in confinement or on free range and are good winter layers of large, rich, brown eggs, and all ages make splendid table poultry. Their rich, glossy, greenish-black plumage contrasts pleasantly with their bright combs, wattles and ear lobes, and the plumage does not show the soli when the fowls are kept In small quarters. Chicks grow rapidly and reach broiler size at an early age, while the mature young fowl is much esteemed for roasting purposes. Importance of j Poultry Shows I Nearly 1,500 poultry shows are held annually in the United States I and Canada. This alone is signifi cant of the importance or these ex hibitions and they are growing more and more popular. | The advantages of such shows are too numerous and obvious al | most to mention.

So cautiously did jthe foodahip proceed that the short : distance from Falmouth to Rotterdam required six days, making the entire 'voyage consume twenty-two days. It was reported also that a guard of two British war vessels convoyed the Thelma to port. The mercy ship carried to the Rot terdam docks a cargo of 1,800 tons of flour, beans, barley, sugar and canned vegetables. its value was about $105,000, of which $90,000 rep resented cash contributions and the rest merchandise. The amount was raised in lour days by Philadelphia and ilarrisburg people after the char tering of the vessel by John AVana maker. The unloading of the Thelma began as soon as the American Commission for the Relief of Destitute Noneom batants had been notified of the ves sel's arrival.
