Eggs Ht for Hatching
Eggs for hatching should be
selected and only those having
normal shape and weighing at
least two counce8, with clean,
smooth, strong shells should be
used. Cracked eggs as well as
dirty eggs, rough shells, weak
shells, abnormal shapes,, and ex
tremely long or short eggs should
be avoided. i
There is no means of determin
ing whether or not an egg is
fertile except by incubation.
The fresher the egg, the better
it is for hatching. The vitality,
however is lowered but little
when the egg is held for 10 days
or two weeks. Extension Circu
lar No. 47, of the Penn sylvania
State College school of agricul
ture and experiment ' station
states that eggs for hatching
should beltept in a dry, cool place
(50 to 60 degrees F.) laid on
their sides, and turned occasion
ally. The germ starts to devel
op at 68 degrees F. In cold
weather eggs should be collected
as often as possible, to prevent
chilling.

hear a report from each scholar,
as to how much money they had
raised, and how they raised it
Some had raised chickens; others,

Bad Trade.
. In any town, no matter how
prosperous, there is always a
certain proportion of merchants
who complain of bad trade. They
make a melancholy report of lo
cal business conditions. Nothing
doing is the burden of their re
frain., So far as they are con
cerned, there is no money in cir
culation. Yet the currents of prosperity
are flowing by their door. Hun
dreds or thousands of people pass
their stores every day, most of
them with money in their pock
ets, bound either for some other
local place of business, or on
their way out of town to buy.
There is plenty of money and
plenty of prosperity at this time.
If business is dull or if it does
not grow, there must be some
thing the matter with us or our
methods.
Usually the trouble is that the
public has a kind of prejudice
against such stores. Somehow,
it has got the impression that
they are not up to date and are
running along in the same old
fashioned way that they did
years ago.
The trouble in such a case is
almost invariably that that store
has done nothing to bring itself
before public attention. It simply
opens its doors in the morning,
and expects the public attention.
The public is not built that way. It
does not care much to visit stores
unless it feels in advance that it
is going to buy something there.
People hate to go into a store and
then walk out without buying,
particularly in their home town
where they are known. So hav
ing this impression in their minds
a little unfavorable to such stores
they simply keep away from them
or only visit them when they
want something quick in an
emergency.
An impression of that kind can
be dispelled by advertising. In 1
a short time a campaign of pub-
ucicy gives an impression tnat a
merchant has woke up. It makes
him look like a live one. People
begin to think that after all he
may be up-to-date, and they come
around to look at what he has.
