While chicken's can be hatched at any time of the year, it is the chickens hatched early in the spring that give best results. Unless a special effort is made to hatch early on the farms throughout the country the hatching season coin cides too closely with the planting season, and hatching operations are reduced on that account. Early Hatching Gives Best Results Early-hatched chickens give the best results because they are, as a rule, the strongest and most vigorous. They are produced from eggs laid while the hens are in their best breed ing condition. After a long period of laying, hens lose something of their vitality and their capacity to trans mit vigor to their offspring, and so late hatched chickens are, as a whole decidedly inferior to early-hatched in inherited vigor and constitution. Because they are more thrifty and vigorous, early hatched chickens make quicker, better and cheaper growth GE KRTI :LD5ED E It is interesting to stop and recall how many good things you have heard of the car and how very few of the other sort.

Weak and under sized chickens often consume as much - feed as much larger and better-devl oped birds and still make no percepti ble growth. Early Chicks Withstand Summer Heat Early chickens develop before sum mer to the stage where.they can with.. stand extreme heat and the attacks of parasites, which are most vigorous and numerous and troublesome in hot weather. Late chickens are likely to be caught by severe heat just at the stage of their growth when heat is most debilitating to them. In their weakened condition they then become an easy prey to lice and mites, their growth is interrupted, and when the cold weather comes in the fall they are peculiarly susceptible to it. Vigor ous early chicks find the coolness stimulating and are not injured by dampness. Reduces Hatching Risks Early hatching reduces the risks due to the vicissitudes of hatching. When eggs do not hatch well early in the season there is time to find the reason for poor hatching and correct it before the season is too far advanc ed to get reasonably early chicks in the numbers desired. In that case I poultry production may not be re duced at all, and egg production is retarded only a few weeks.

Editorials from issues of these paeprs of February 13, received< 1ere by cable and made public tonight by the committee on public informa- It Lion, urge the statesmen of the Cen Lral Powers to endeavor to come to'< Anl understanding with the United t States. , The Nuese Nachrichten says: "The President's speech shows a !lear desire to continue the public dis ussion between Washington and the I Central Powers. * *It is important to observe how greatly Wilson differs in tone and substance from the declar ations of other Entente statesmen. To day it is easily understood why America is not politically represented at Versailles. It is because Wilson's present policy is not the policy of Clemenceau' and Lloyd George. * * * "It should not be difficult for Hert ling and Czernin, by defininging more closely their former declartaions, to come to an agreement in principle with Wilson. But the latter should al so see the justice of applying this beautiful principle to the Ententes. If 1 agreement with Ameitca can succeed 1 before war machine assumes irresis- I tible momentum, the whole Entente will be unhinged." - -o THIRD RAID ON LONDON London, Feb. 18.-Hostile airplanes,] ire attempting a raid against London ,gain tonight, making the third raid t n as many nights.
