fTelps With the Lessons At night when the children gather around the sitting-room table studying their lessons for the next the telephone often rings. A little neighboiha mile down the road wants help from his schom-mates. Children as well as grown-ups get pleasure' and profit from the farm telephone. Do you know how little this service costs and how valuable it is ? See the nearest Bell Telephone Manager or write for our free booklet. A postal will do.

' r~ i n ?? ii i Must Have Cool, Even Tempor ature and Be Undiaturbad When Kept Long. Thero are several foolish tieitefN ami NU|K'i'.s(itloii^ about eggs for hatching. Mouie of then! life pointed Old aiitl ?*x | ?ltt itwil.v by K, O. Ha v Kmltrv' husbandman of (Monism t'td* legis who further advises the correct nit't hod of k?M*plnu egj<s over a period ?'l several days before putting theiu under the hen or lu the Incubator. The yolk of an egg, said Mr. Hare In KlV'lMK f?oiuv of the Jiu>4e law* of poDb try reproduction, grows from a sinall |Kiim to full size in u ?ack attached to the ovary of the'Jieu. Wheiw tho yolk ix rfoie or at normal slxe, tho sack Is ruptured and the yolk enter* the ovi duct, a tul*> about IS or 20 Inches long that secretes the alhuraen and . two ineinhraneH (skins) inside . the shell ?lust after the yolk enters the oviduct, the germ (a sinall round s|K>t with lighter center that can he seen on the yolk) Is fertilized if the hen has been with a initio. it requires at least 20 "hours to com plete the development of an ex/ and (Turing this time the germ Is growing rapidly. However, the changes are such that a fertile egg cannot Ik* dis tinguished from an Infertile egg except hy examining the germ with a power ful ndcroHOO|H\ Some people sh.v they can break a few eggs and tell by look ing nt the "spot" whether or not the ?ggs are fertile. This, according to Mr. Hare, is impossible. When an egg is laid and has become cool, the growth of the germ or em bryo almost ceases. The little chick re mains In a dormant state until tlie ok g is heated to a temperature of 80 de grees or more. Then the process of hatching continues and If the heat is maintained according to nature's laws, the chick will emerge from lta house of shell at the end of about 20 days. It Is noeessary to k<fcp eggs thnt are being held for hatching In a cool room, at from 50 to 00 degrees, If best re sults are desired. Ileatlng and cooling eggs alternately, or turning them dally, or placing them in the sunlight miti gates against a successful hatch. i The common belief that turning eggs improves their hatching is not bprne out by results. Turning does no good and *lt frequently does harm by dis placing the contents of the egg. A warm temperature reduces the density of the albumen and many chicks will die from becoming attached to the shell membrane. Keep the eggs In a basket covered by a cotton clothe in a cool, dry room, advises Prof. Hare. In this way they will keep about 10 days and hatch well, hut It Is evident that eggs will hatch better If incubation begins within two or three days after laying. An experiment conducted by Mr. Hare at the United States Experiment al Farm hear Washington in the spring of 1913 showed that 70 per cent of the weight of the egg when incubation began was the weight of the dry chick hatched from the egg. This illustrates the imjiortancc of always setting large eggs. Do not hatch a chick from a small egg, because only a small chick can result. The big chicks grow faster and usually make better layers and breeders. Besides, one will increase the average size of eggs laid by one's flock by always hatching chicks from big eggs. The Danes, said Mr. Hare, have prac tised this system for years and their standard weight for eggs is .the heav iest in the world, being thirty ounces per dozen ? two and a half ounces per egg. The American standard weight is twenty-four ounces per dozen. Removes Regents of State Hospital. Columbia, Feb. 21.-? Gqv. r Manning sent a message to , the senate early Sunday morning annour.cing that he had removed four members of tfc<T ?hoard of regents of theState Hospital for the Intone.

The. nnnounrement was made by the ailuister of war In a re oonl Interview that the recruits due to come up this yea r in the ordinary ?X?ur*e would not be railed before the normal date In the fall. This apparent holding back from active service of good material In the shape of young men was decided on as a precaution for i In* future. The recruits of this year will be needed to form the basis )f the ucv nnuy when the. war Ls over, since tho ranks of the standing ?rn?> whenever jteftee -way be deelnr 0<l, will certainly be found to have been depleted by casualties to a liyue ex tent. To this depletion must also be added the largo number of men who will be entitled to return to civil life before the expiring of their full term of service with colors since war, ser vice will give them the right to claim their discharge before they otherwise would have been able to do so under conditions of peliee. As this will leave tfie army much below 'It* proper strength, the war ottlce has resolved to retain the younger men to hulbl the nucleus of the standing army at the conclusion of peace. On the other hand, the youths from 1G to ?JO years old, who have volun teered to serve In the arjny before reaching the regulation age for mili tary service, as well as the regular .contingent of recruits ? called up last fall, are being assiduously trained In depots in all parts of the country In preparation for transportation to the firing line either in the east or the west. The young soldiery display great enthusiasm for the field work in which they are undergoing instruction under the care of experienced non-commis sioned officers, some of whom have returned from the front suffering from slight wounds, which do not hinder them in their work. Much of the usual stift' drill of the (Jerman army has been dorte away with in order that the youths may devote more time to and make rapid progress in the more use ful warlike arts of shooting and In trenching. -Many of them were at first exercised In their civilian clothes or in old uniforms in consequence of the lack of sufficient stores to supply them, but the gray field uniform for all was soon provided. HAD MANY FINE MEETINGS. Fertilizer and Economy Day Success in Nearly All Counties. Clemson College, Feb. 28.? Wr W. Tx?ng, State agent of "demonstration and director of extension at Clemson College, expressed much pleasure and satisfaction at the reports received from all counties telling of the "Fer tilizer and Economy Day" exercises held Saturday, February 13. In some counties, the agents re?v>rted, the oc casion called out crowds that broke lo cal records for agricultural meetings. Some of the state's leading thinkers'! spoke at some of the meetings. A very valuable feature of many of the meetings was the round-table discus sion that followed the addresses. "It is evident that the farmers were eager to get just such Information and had been waiting for it," Mr. Long BAiti, W? conBiaer mo occhhioii to nnvcv been a great success." Must Not Ride Astride. Nashville, Feb. 21.? The old question Qf whether women can ride astride in parades of Confederate veterans has bom brought up by Gen. John P.
