CAOEFIILDREEOICeis o;:ly FooATion FOR E66 PRODUCTION

Careful breeding is ' a good founda

tion) upon 1 which to build" successful ' egg production; r- - The r poultry depart- ' ment at Purdue university : has been ) keeping; 'careful records of their 'Stole Comb White .Leghorn during the ! last five . years, and by , using ' pedligrees In .. selecting' the" breeders, ; some good 4ayersbave, been' produced. In the, first ' four year ; of work at the t experiment station only.: two Leghorns . produced r 200 or more eggs in one year. In 1915 -a.' dozen pullets have exceeded: the '.200 .egg: mark' by October 1. - - This good, production is thought ,tft be, due .to : careful matingMany people fear the term 'Inbreeding,", believing, that breeding of close , relationship , will surely : prove "detrimental to the flock. Line 1 breeding, commonly known as '. careful ; inbreeding, has been the ; source t of : much good results in breeding.. . Only, by it can blood. ' lines ' be ' concentrated or the characteristics of , the parents exist ' in the. offspring in percentage greater .than onerbalf.,;: ; , The.trap.nest is the; only, sure means of measuring a taen,s egg production. Continued trapnestlng . for more than one year .will often, bring' surprises. Following , are ; two . examples of the value of line breeding and the use of the" (rap 'nest." " ' " ' " V - ," ' , Hen No. 1416 laid only 49 eggs as a pullet, ' but " inthe tollowlng four years laid 174; M4r 147. 167- eggs. In 1J12 she ' was mated to her son; No. 1015, and 'produced No.'- 720 ' who laid 106, 131 ' and 210 eggs , In - her. first three years of: life! J This hen mated back to ' 1015 - produced No - 3001, that has laid 211 eggs. This pullet mated back to 1015. produced" four daughters that were. laying by September 15th. Male No. 1015 contained one-half the blood of his dam No. 1416. No. 720 had three-quarters; No. 3001 had fiveeights, and' the pullets nine-sixteenths of the blood of No. 1416. Thus four generations after the hen - was first mated , there , existed several pullets with a predominance of her blood. Another Interesting mating is with 1 he famous hen v Miss Purdue. This bird laid 224 eggs as a pullet and 219 eggs a. year old hen. : Her-number was 272. Mated to Male No. 2154 she produced; Male No. 572. ; This male mated back to No. 272 produced Pullet No. 3019 -who has laid 202 eggs. This hen mated back to No. 672 produced a pullet that' was laying by September 16, 1916. f This means that the pullets hatched in 1915 are fiveeights of the blood of Miss Purdue. Other - pullets - from Miss Purdue's blood that are laying well in 1915. are No. 3015 with 209 eggs, No. 3013 with 211' eggs. ."' Pedigree breeding with poultry is as practical as with cattle, and is the only sure means of breeding up high egg production.-

TABLE TALK CENSURED BY HARVARD PAPER

CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 11. Harvard students are- accused of being frivolous if not worse, in their table talk by the Harvard Crimson', every one of the thousands who eat in Memorial hall being included in the .criticism. The editorial -says: "One thousand men are each wasting three hours a day in intellectual dejection which might profitably be spent in " cultivating intelligent thought.

"Women, the war.- athletics and

personalities comprise the range of

subjects. Among the first ' namea.

virtue is apparently unknown. The weaker sex is subiect to slandering

remarks whose 'sole aim is - to fill a

eaD in the conversation.-

"When the talk wanders to the war some one says, "I hope those damned act licked.' and- the subject is

closed. Even on athletics, where the

interest is keenest, desultory remarks and blashnhemies . on Tale are the

main element. Interspersing ... every'

thing are biting personalities on another's physical or mental qualities. A tone of affected cynicism crowns the whole."

For the second time this summer, the Economy postoffice was robbed. Burglars blew the safe last evening and escaped with ; $400 1 In l stamps, $16.60 in money and a . number of blank postal money orders. -7 The robbery occurred at . about 1 o'clock. The telephone operator .: in the town heard the- noise and confusion, but according to her statement to - Sheriff Steen this morning, she was too frightened to arouse anyone while the robbery was . going on. No

one else in tne town knew or toe robbery until 6 o'clock this morning

when several men saw that the safe

had been blown. - They notified Postmaster Ray Daugherty, who immed

iately notified Sheriff Steen. : They

arrived on the scene ' about . 7:30 o'clock and the only trace that could be found was the tracks of a wagon. . It is believed that the robbers made their escape : along - the "Economy--Hagerstown road. The postoffice detectives' were' notified' this morning and will ' arrive immediately to take up the 'case.' Two months " ago; robbers entered the postoffice and made a successful escape. . It is believed by Postmaster Daugherty 'that the same persons are responsible for V- the robbery ' . last night.'. ; The sound ' of the explosion was muffled with carpets. The entire door was blown from the safe and according to Sheriff Steea, it appeared to be the work of experts.

CHINESE TRUE TO THE REPUBLIC

The reports from Pekin that Presi

dent Yuan Shih-k'ai is seriously considering the advisability of making himself Emperor and that Mr. Frank

J. Goodnow, president of Johns Hop

kins University, the adviser on constitutional questions, has recommended this change, need serious consider

ation. Definite information f rOm the

Foreign Office in Pekin says that such was Dr. Goodnow 's general opinion on a purely; theoretical question. Of course, there is a great difference between a general theoretical question and advice to be followed in a specific case.

When it was evident that the Man-

chu dynasty must fall, I was at first personally inclined to the opinion, as

were, I think a -majority of non-Chi

nese, that probably tne best plan ror China would be the establishment of a

new Chinese dynasty, with possibly, a descendant of Confucius or of one of the earlier Chinese dynasties on the throne, and with Yuan Shih-k'ai as Prime Minister. And that opinion was based on the fact, as Dr. Goodnow says that China had been an empire for

centuries. When, however, the sentiment rap

idly developed for the establishment of a republic, and it . became evident that nothing else would satisfy the revolutionary element, which seemed

to include a large majority not only

of the young men who had been educated abroad but also a goodly group

of the influential, conservative, sound

business men, that in itself put a dif

ferent aspect on the question.

There is little doubt as to the facts.

The feelings of these conservative people regarding their present government seem to be based largely on two judgments; First, one of well-founded distrust of the empire and of the

methods employed by the officials un

der it, especially the system of self-

seeking and graft; the other, confidence in Yuan Shih'k'ai as a man who

Is trying to eradicate graft, to work

in the interests of the country as a

whole, and to give heed to the wishes and judgment of the 'progressive yet thoughtful people in the republic. I well remember an experience of my own concerning the distrust of the empire. I was attempting to gather

information from Chinese bankers and business men, in order to formulate some general plan for a central bank for China. At the time I was making this Investigation a high government official was traveling through China, meeting representatives of the Chambers of Commerce and other capitalists and attempting to get them to subscribe for a government bank to be managed by government officials. He secured not one dollar of subscriptions. The Chinese capitalists, bankers and merchants in different parts of China told me they would not subscribe one dollar for a bank to be named by officials, and they could not and would not co-operate personally with government officials. Although Yuan Ehih-k'ai has found

it . necessary, to suppress the ultra-radicals and to take measures looking toward the consolidation of the new republic, he has won the confidence of these conservative Chinese business men by dlscousaging graft, even by the stern process of excuting high officials convicted of corruption, and by making it clear that he is keeping the Interests of the people well in hand. In the China of the . present generation the conception of empire stands for oppression, graft, corruption, disloyalty to the people. The; renuhii .

dmi,8tered stands for the interests

ui vuiua h i wnoie, with an increasing measure of honesty and efficiency. Moreover, It should not be forgotten that even the radical revolutionists and their supporters in America who were ready to oppose Yuan -Shih-k'ai when they feared that he was seeking power for himself, ceased their opposition and promised to send to him not less than a million dollars gold from abroad to stop the oppression of the Japanese. They , trusted -him when they needed a strong man. Japan stands for empire. The Chinese people, including these conservative business men,- fear the Japanese above all others as representatives of imperialism. - They like and favor Americans above all other nations as representatives of republicanism because the American Republic has not attempted aggression but has tried to deal with them justly. When it comes to swaying public opinion, there is much In a name; and millions of Chinese, at home and abroad, who have at heart the republic, are prepared to give their property, if necessary their lives, under the direction of a republican President, to oppose foreign imperialism; but these same men would give their money and their lives to oppose the same leader if they thought he was trying to establish in China a personal imperialism. Yuan Ehih-k'ai is muoh stronger as President than he would be as Emperor; in his position as President he is able to render to his country a far greater service. And his country needs the best service that he can give.
