Invariably are dropped by the French lighters whenever the duel has been fairly fought. It Is said that never a British avia tor disappears but news of Jiim is brought to his waiting comrades by ttcrmnn airmen. Such and such a thing has happened to so and so. says a note which comes plunging down out of the sky, a bullet attached to give it weight. The British do the same for the (iermans. It has become a sort of un written iawof the air. Of course there are exceptions: there are sportsmen In all contests who cheat and use unfair means. But gen erally the war in the air is clean.

Characteristics of Chickens That Make Them Ck>6d Laying or General Purpose Breeds ? White Leghorn and Barred Plymouth Rock Most Popular Varioties. Breeds of iKHiltry chu be conveni ently divided into two classes: y 1 ) tho egg breeds, and the general purpose breeds. This division is like that of cattle into beef and dairy types, and of horses Into llyht and heavy classes. In tiie okk breeds of poultry the primary requirement is the produc tion of a great number of eggs of standard size. The fowls are not ex pected to be prime table specimen*, but they must lay throughout the year, except when they have to real, and recuperate. They do not sit and hatch chickens and they lay white shelled eggs. Tho more popular egg breeds are leghorns, Minorcas, An eonas and Campines. The moat popu lar variety of theso breeds is the Sin gle -Comb White l^egliorn. All large egg farms are stocked with White l^eghorn pullets ami hens, because it is possible to obtain breeding stock In this variety that has blood lines of heavy egg produc tion behind it. Pullets from a heavy laying strain are "better layers than pullets of uo special breeding. EOii TYPE Uptf WHITS E<ktf NUtf frTVERA How can one detect heavy laying characteristic*? in a mature pullet or hon? Notice the illustration of the egg type hen. Note how her body resem bles the wedge shape of the dairy cow. Narrow and trim at her neck and wide and deep at the rear, s?he has the greater part of her body be hind her legs. A good layer has a large, soft, flexible rear end, drop ping down between lier legs and eo wide that the legs are sot far apart to accommodate it. The reer end of the hen corresponds to the udder of the dairy cow and must be large and yield ing, not small and hard. I DESTROY CORN STUBBLE1 i ! Farmers Can Reduce Damage from Corn Stalk Borer by Turning Under Stubblo in Fall. Corn stubble should not be allowed to stand in the field all winter undis turbed. The corn stalk borer Is one of the "reasons" for this. This Insect is one of the n?ost notorious corn posts of the South and evidence of its work can be seen in practically any corn field at harvest time. It is the cause of the holes that may occur in any portion of a stalk. The corn stalk borer remains as a larva, or worm, in the base of corn etubble "beneath the ground during the winter. Farmers do this Insect a great favor, therefore, when they let their corn stubble stand undisturbed in. the. fle.WL rturijvg fall wistsr. Destroying corn stubble is not very easy, except on modernly equipped far^is wher? there is sufficient horse power and the stubble can be turn ed under thoroughly. There is, there fore, some temptation to leave It un dl?turbed,_ _ But the advantages of turning stubble are such that a farm er cannot well afford not to do it. Turning it under helps very much in reducing the corta stalk borer for the next season. Where thorough turning cannot be practiced, (there, are other methods such as "busting out" the stubble and hauling it to the com poet heap for rot ting. By another method, after the corn is gathered, stalks, stubbie, and everything else may be "busted otrt," raked into heaps and, after a few weeks for drying, burned. In experi mental work a very large percentage of corn stalk borer larvae (worms) was destroyed during winter where the ntnhhle was plowed out -and left exposed to the weather. But when these methods are prac ticed by farmers only here and there, it will not help the situation very much. The control of the corn etalk borer depends upon the co-operative action of the farmers of a community. The fact must also be borne In mind that it is an extravagant prac tice to let com fields lie idle and ex posed during the winter months, not only on account ortheae insect peets, but also on account of the lose from washing and -leaching of soil* A. J. CONRAD*, Professor of Entomology, Oemson Agricultural Coll? s.

They are SiSO good lajera of brown-shelled eggs. They hatch their chicks and are the most satisfactory for those who want one (lock of purebred chickens for both moat and egg purposes. The more popular of the general purpose breeds are Plymouth Hocks, Rhode Isl and Reds, Wyandot tes and Orpingtons The most popular variety Is the Bar red Plymouth Rock. This is recog nized as the best chicken for market as it is large and well-meated and fat tens profitably when confined in I or:*. tea. PRANK C. HARE, Extension Poultry Husbandman, Clemson Agricultural College. DO NOT NEGLECT TOOLS Farmers Suffer Large Losses by Fail* ure to Care for Implements That Are Not In Use. v The farmer who puts away his furm machinery without oiling and clean ing it is certain to lo?e in the dete rioration of the machinery many times what the time to care for it would have been worth. Failure to take care of farm machinery Is a source of large lose to the American farm or annually. Moet farmers realize that they would save money by takkig>good care of their machines, but neglect to do so, either through carelessness or In difference. The most important step toward efficient machinery 1* keeping It in good repair. In spare time, each machine should be care fully Inspected and all missing, broken or overworn parts noted. Write the names and numbers of missing part* on tags and fasten these tags to the machine. All machines should have a general inspection at least once a year. A rainy day In late fall is very good for (hie purpose. Exposure to weather injures both wooden and metal parts of machines and a machinery shed ehould "by all moons be part of the farm equip ment. Every machine should be clean ed. oiled, and housed after it has been uflod. iViittting aids greatly in improving the appearance and prolonging the life of machines. It protects both woody and metal from the weather. Paint should be used freely when needed. Ou*~of-fche best -paints for all farm implements is made with red lead end llnswed oil. The use of good farm implements is in' re&slng rapidly in South Carolina and farmers owe it to themselves to b#> more oareful of their tools. In the year that has gone, they have learned some important lessons In .economy, but there is probably no more practl* eal way in which a farmer can econo m>ze than by taking the proper care of implement# repairing them, oiling them, housing them, aed painting them. ?
