If they can't, they shouldn't be "drafted" for another year of service in the "army" of egg layers, because chickens, like soldiers, are playing an important part in the present emergency.

Orders have, been issued to have the eagles face" right in future, in accordance with the traditions of heraldry. Farragut, Dewey and Sampson didn't know how incorrect they were. Fortunately, it is comparatively e$Ay to distinguish layers from nottlayers by the culling method, after a little practice. Bald-headed as they often are, good layers are usually tight-feathered over the rest of their bodies. The feathers generally are dry, frayed and "washed-out," and good layers,are active, good feeders, and have good dispositions. The head of a good layer is usually clean-cut, well-balanced, of medium length and depth, and the eyes are $uite large and prominent. Be suspicious of the laying ability of the bird with a thick or coarse head or the bird with a crow-head. And the back of a good layer should be wide over its entire length and free from hard fat. A narrow spring of ribs or a back that tapers decidedly or slopes sharply to the rear indicate* sfnall feeding capacity. The body should be deep, but flock Owners shouldn't be fooled into thinking that birds have body depth just because the feathers are long and loose. Depth of the body can be measured by placing the thumbs on the front end of the keel bone and the middle fingers on the rear of the keel bone. Depth of the front and rear can be measure^ by spanning the body from back to breast with the thumb and middle finger .and sliding them along the keel and back. If the bird is a good layer, her comb, wattles and earktbes will be large, plump, smooth and waxy. If the comb is limp, the bird may be laying, but when the comb is dried, especially at molting time, the bird is not laying. Sunday with open house.

Scientists believe that some day important industrial products will be found in peach stones. In colonial days, peaches were ustd tor cider and brandy and were preserved by drying. Forsythe's fa mous fruit book of 1803 reports that peaches ripened from July to November and the great surplus was "applied as food to hogs." When canning methods were perfected, the fruit grew in favor and now ranks next to the apple. From ID to SO million bushels are grown annually, {n \h$ Pacific states, 90 p$r cem of the 20-million-oushel crop is canned. Some commercial pectin is derived from the peach skins. California, Georgia, Arkansas, North "Carolina and Virginia produce peaches by the million bushels. Important areas are along the eastern and southern shores of the Great Lakes in Michigan and Ohio and around the Finger Lakes in New York. There in the spring, the heat absorbed by the lakes retards blooming and lessens the danger of frost. In the winter, the heat released from the water moderates the temperature and prevents wood and bud injury from freezing. Nowhere, except in America, are poaches grown commercially. In England and on the continent, the (ndft is a delicacy, grown under glass or trained on trellises. The results are excellent, but costly, and peaches there are a luxury only for the rich.

Because fluorescent tubes give 2 to 2H times as much light for the same amount of current when installed with proper equipment; because their shape lends them ^readily to modern streamlined lighting; because they CocT; and bccauie they can produce daylight or vivid colored light efficiently, the question naturally arises: "Is it practical to use fluorescent - lighting in homes?" Even a year ago, the answer would have been: " There is tittfe, fluorescent equipment for homes or kno#* ' ' ledge of its effects". But today, as the result of continued research, investigations and experimental installations, much progress has been made^ particularly in fluorescent lighting for ' kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, basement recreation rooms and workshops. Dining room and living room fixtures are also now available, and some fluorescent floor and table lamps ace beginning to appear on the market. -- In addition to the development of equip*-- ment, many interesting things have been learned about the effects of home fluoref^ cent lighting. Here some of them: Colors appear changed under fluorescent light, some more than others. Whether you like the change depends on you, the color of fluorescent tube used, and the nature ti of the enter anahgedew. Naturally theif .are more possibilities in getting desiie4 color effects when a new home is planned for fluorescent lighting from the start, bug in any event a satisfactory color arrange* ment can often be obtained. _ When fluorescent lighting is used in dining room, color changes of foods are«: disturbing :o some people, but the avera^. adult overlooks the.n jfttr a few weeks ^ !use.
