4 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN Why We Quarrelled "T alnav* piny >rrnnil fiddle," aald my hnahaad. Virginia Terhnne Vnu de Water. Cpyrlght, 1915, by Star Company. • I am almost ashamed to confess the matter about which my husband and I quarrel niost bitterly is our boys. There are two of them —fine chaps of fourteen and sixteen. I fancy that if they were girls we would have fewer disputes about them. For. to be frank, my husband is, I really believe. Jealous of our sons. I mean he is jealous of my love for them. He would he furious were I to ac cuse bin of Ibis. But it is neverthe less true. 1 do not mean to Imply that he is not fond of his boys, for he Is— fond and proud of them, especially when they do well at school. Perhaps if they were girls the mail's sense of chivalry would make him love them better. Perhaps then I might'be .leal mis of his love for them. Who knows? But X do not think 1 would, for a moth er loves a child better than a father does. 1 made this statement to my hus band once, and he resented It hotly. "Just because 1 do not humor the kids as outrageously as you do, you think that 1 do not care for thein as much as you do!" he declared. Well, I do! But 1 do not think that they are little tin gods! And now that we are on this subject I will warn you that .you are In danger of turning out Into the world the worst spoiled pair of chaps that ever came down the pike!" 'They are dear, devoted children,'' I protested. "They always do what I ask them." "Of course! Because you never ask them anything they don't want to do. And they adore you because you sac rifice yourself, your own Inclinations, even me. to please them." A Hitter Accusation I was shocked and Indignant. What wife would not be at such language" For his accusation was false. T 11m a conscientious and loving wife, but my boys need my guidance and companion ship more than my husband does. When they want me lo go anywhere with I hem. I feel It is my dutv as a mother to comply with their wishes. 1 knew that my husband was re membering something that had oc curred the previous evening, when the Iwo boys had Invited me to a moving piciure show. It was I'Viday night, and they had no studying on hand. 1 accepted at once, and the lads turned to their father with— "You'll come, too, won't you. Dad?" "No. thanks." he rejoined, f don't earn for movies." "What are you going to dot?" I ask ed. "1 had planned." he said, "to have n quiet evening' at home and a gamie of cards with you. After which, as I am tired, T meant to go to bed earlv." I knew he wanted' me to stay at home, and I hesitated. I wa.s 'sure that my boys had set their hearts on having me with them, if I were to DAI'PHJV I.KT STATE TEST DOG ACT IN COI HTS Following a conference yesterday with Dr. Joseph KaJbfus.

They might even fancy that I did not care to accompany them. And at their age must a mother not ksfP lads close to her? Why couldn t tneir father see this? "Oh. do come, too, dear!" I urged. "It will do you good." "I tell you I hate movies. ne ex Cl l lr con'sldered this an unkind speech, as the lads had invited us bot.i. anu I suppose 1 looked my displeasure.

"I suppose I am not to be considered —eh?" lie Is Made Indignant "You could go if you want to," I re plied. "Moreover, you were very dis agreeable to the boys when they Invit ed von. Does it ever occur to you that If you made companions of them I might not have to leave you as often as I do to be with them?" "As often as you want to, you mean." he retorted, "i do not need to be re minded that I must always play second fiddle where the boys are concerned." "Oh, Tom!" 1 exclaimed, tears rush ing to my eyes. "How can you be so unkind! You know very well why I go with them. If 1 don't keep them close to me they may seek evil com panions and drift away from me. They need me." "And don't 1 need you?" he demand ed. "Not as they do. Your morals and tastes are already formed; theirs are not." "And because 1 am a reputable mem ber of society, I can be neglected Is that it?" he argued, irrationally. "Why not apeak the truth —that you love your sons better than you love your husband?" I bit back the hot words that sprang fo my lips. In my mind the thought was creeping—"Would it be any won der If 1 did love them better? Do they ever make me suffer as you are male-, ing me suffer now?" But I saM nothing, only went quiet ly from the room. The boys were happy all the evening, and T tried to seem happy, too. Yet there was a lead-like load on my iieart. When we reached home at eleven o'clock, my husband was in bed and asleep: but I could not sleep for won dering—as 1 often wonder—liow a man can be jealous of his own flesh and blood. These are his sons as well as mine. Why. then should he resent my giving them the truest devotion of which a mother is capable? Having brought them into the world, do 1 not owe them this?

About j seven years ago an enthusiastic fan cier, knowing the economic and deco rative value of the real Silver Cam- I pine, Imported and bred some speci- . mens of this fowl possessing real merit. He used plenty of printer's j Ink and made many exhibits of the fowls, together with their eggs at the j large poultry shows. For many years Silver Campine eggs have won virtu ally all prizes offered on the best white eggs at the Boston poultry show, t a feature that has probably done more ' to popularize the breed than its beau- 1 ty of plumage. The Silver Campine is a native of I Labor-Saving Systems Solve Problem of Profits With Hens on Large Scale Hatching and Handling of Tens of Thousands of Birds Made Easy By (J. R. Smith Author and Practical Poultryman The small flock Is profitable. Tens millions of small flocks of hens all over the world are sufficient evidence that they are paying propositions. The question now Is, CAX THE BIG FLOCK BF: MADE PROPORTION ATELY PROFITABLE? Tlic fanner's flock of fifty has ceased to be thought of as a necessary nui sance. It Is recognized as one of the small but very relinblc sources of in come. Yet the average farmer Is not fully convinced of the posMlblllfy of BIG BL'SIXKSS with flic IJITTIJE Hen. He Is Interested but skeptical. He is ready to be shown but Is con servative. It Is well to remember at tills point that immense progress has been maile in methods of poultry culture (luring the lust few years. Wliat was alto gether ini|>osslble, even at the opening of the present century, lias become easy of achievement now because of tliese improved systems. Improved processes of incubation prove that the poultry industry is mov ing: forward at an amazing pace in its methods of operation—like every other occupation—from making 1 pins to carrying on a gigantic steel wroks. The difficulty of getting the eggs hatched in sufficient numbers lias made large operations practically im possible until quite recently. The miracle-working machine has come to (he front here as everywhere, and the work is made easy. By the use of modern incubating machines thousands of chicks can now be hatched at once where a few years ngo only hundreds could be hatched. One company advertises machines with capacities from 1,200 to 20,100. The manipulation o fthem is exceed ing simple. Hot water heat is used. A little coal fire at one end of the long incubator heats the water for the hatching of the tens of thousands of eggs at, one setting. In the process of hatching the eggs must be turned every day. The ma chinery has been so Ingeniously ad justed that ten thousands eggs can be turned in 30 seconds. Such a device saves an enormous amount of labor over the handturntng method.

It has been the fowl gen erally bred throughout the country for centuries and is found there in both sringlo and rose oomh varieties. It was imported rrom Belgium to England, where those ardent fan ciers improved it both in color and production, and from England it jour neyed to America. It is a fowl of the Mediterranean type,small of bone and body, active and nervous and a heavy layer; great claims having been made for it in this direction. For markets demand ing white eggs, Campines furnish eggs that command top prices. The plumage is silver white, mark ed by broad bands of glossy greenish black. The, legs are blue and the skin white, which are the only drawbacks to its popularity in America. Campines are handled the same as They are of about the same size and will stand confinement equally well. * man can In this way take care of the hatching of a vast number of chicks. Fifteen eggs are as many as a large lien could cover, even in warm weath er. It Is plain therefore, that a giant hatching machine with a capacity of 10,000, is equal to more than 650 hens all sitting at one time. This Is one of the reasons why the poultry Indus try is taking rank with the dairy busi ness, fruit culture, or even with gen- I eral farming, as a possible source of | large profits. On one poultry farm 1 ; saw an incubator cellar with a total output capacity of 48,000 baby chicks | every three weeks. Brooding System I Hatching is not the only trick to be turned. Suppose the chicks by tens i of thousands are out of the shells — what then? A short time ago I saw forty-flve hundred newly hatched chicks taken out of a 6,000-capacity incubator. How can such a horde of fluffy tender things be cared for? The care of the young chicks has been as serious a problem as the get ! ting of them. The "brooder stove" makes this task comparatively easy. These stoves are a modern inven tion. They are built in different sizes and with capacities ranging from 300 jto 1,500 each. Such are the listed capacities of the stoves. Any one will readily recognize, however, that there is large risk in massing as many as 1,500 chicks in one flock. It will , be much safer and wiser for all except 'those who are expert in such work, | to handle a much smaller number. As ; skill is developed the flocks may be enlarged. This colony brooder system bears i the same relation to the raising of the i chicks up to 10 weeks old that the l great incubating process bears to the i hatching of the chicks. With these two modern improvements in poultry culture it is plain that the possibili ties of the business are multiplied 10 fold over what they were a few years ago. Suppose we take a brooder house 14x28 feet as a unit of operation. It may be divided Into two rooms 14 feet square. In one of these rooms a brooder colony stove is placed in the center. Seven or eight hundred new ly hatched chicks may easily be cared for here until three or four weeks old, when they may be given the run of both rooms. This is the most critical period in the young chick's life. Get the little tender things through the fourth week in capital condition, and you have them practically out of the danger zone. Modern brooding on a big scale, therefore, is the second great step to ward possibilities for big business in poultry culture. A third is: The Large laying Flock A quarter of a century ago the highest authorities allowed only fif teen fowls in a flock. The average floor space allotted to each laying hen was not to be less than 10 square feet. These conditions were insisted upon as essential. Steadily, however, as experiments proceeded, the flocks were enlarged, and the average floor space for each fowl was reduced. At the present time laying hens are kept in flocks of from 100 to 1,500. On the largest poultry farms where the aim is most ly for the production of market eggs, the number usually runs from 250 to 500 in each laying pen, This large flock principle has been found to work well in the hands of skilled poultrymen. The danger from disease is much greater where many birds are massed together. But the man who knows the vital import ance of cleanliness, fresh air, and the right kind of a balanced ration every day In the year, will not be running great risks. The labor-saving factor here Is immense. For example, I visited one big plant where 500 layers are kept in each lay ing house. One man was attending to the feeding of seven of these flocks, or a total of 3,500 fowls. IJad they been divided into pons of 15 fowls each, according to the old method, he would have had 233 pens to visit at each feeding. Thus it may be seen that the wages of several men are saved by this dis covery of the large laying flock prin ciple. Besides, the space required for each fowl on the average is not mora than one-third of what would be re quired under the old system of from 12 to 15 hens in a pen. It is true, a smaller percentage of eggs will be produced under the extensive method of operation than by the inextensiva •system. But the loss sustained in this way will be small In comparison with the »ain in the saving of labor and space. Markets and High Prices The great cities are constantly in creasing their population. The large towns are rapidly growing into cities. The consumer Is multiplying in the land much more rapidly than the pro ducer. The rush from the rural dla MAY 13, 1916. trlota to the city la still under full drive —«o the experts tell us. The millions of mouths in New York, Phil adelphia, Chicago and a thousand oth er centers of population must be fed, and no article of diet is more attrac tive or necessary than the product of the poultry yard. The "Chicken Dinner" will never be surrendered so long ns there Is a sup ply forthcoming. However much of a luxury an egg is, it is at the same time a necessity. Where is the house wife that will cook without eggs! It would be interesting to make an ex hibit of the endless ways in which the products of the poultry yards are used in the thoroughly down-to-date American kitchen. Winter and Sum mer the demand is the same, absolute ly inexhaustible. Prices vary im mensely at different seasons; but the cost of production and the bulk pro duced also vary in like proportion. Cold storage also, while it has wrought havoc at times In the mar kets, will more and more hjive a steadying influence on the prices through the year. at the matter from any possible point of view the prices and the markets for the poultryman's products appear prac tically certain to continue everything that is desirable. During at least half the year strictly fresh eggs com mand readily from 40 to fiO cents a dozen. The demand even at this price is never supplied in any portion of the northern United States. During the 10 years from 1900 to 1910 the quantity of poultry in the United States increased about 17 per cent. At the same time the value per head of all kinds of poultry greatly increased. The number of eggs pro duced the first decade of this country of all poultry the goose is hardi est, and there Is t« certain reliabil ity about her that should commend Itself to poultrymen and farmers generally.
