Agriculture In First Place
A writer in the agricultural press
vs that agriculture is right now
the important problem in this. coun
try the problem of the manufactur
er and the merchant, the banker and
general public, just as much as
it is the problem of the farmer. He
believes that agriculture, above all
industries, is entitled to some con
structive publicity. "It needs boost
ing," he says. "It can not get along
without it and still keep up with the
times.

Life of the Typical American Woman
in Her Thirties Is a Tragedy.
By W. L. GEORGE. .British Man of Letters
1
To mo, the lif ) of the American woman in lipr thirties is a tragedy.
When the novelty of married life ifc gone she instinctively hogins to want
something else to fill her life. What she desires above all olys is love and
companionship and theso are the only things on earth lier'huclmnd denies
her.
One hears of the devotion of' the American husband, slaving from
early morning until late at night, denying himself all social pleasures
and directing all his energies to "making his pile." It is usually between
the ages of thirty and forly-livc that his "pile" is made.
He loves her no less. hut. like the Russian peasant and his ikon, he
forgets his adoration in his business and consequently the wife suffers.
Until the American husband rcajizes this essential and overwhelming
desire of his wife and giv.'s hor love and companionship at the 6aiiie time
she will continue to suffer.
CULL YOUR FLOCK
(From Farm Bureau News)
This is the season of the year fpr
farmers to cull out the hens that are
unprofitable. Upon investigation jti
will be found that some hens have
already started to molt. It has been
found from trap nest records that
the hens which , molt between May
15th and September 15th take longer
to shed their feathers and grow new
ones than the hens that are late
molters. Late molting hens, be
tween November 15th and January
1st, usually .drop most of their feath
ers at about the same time and new
ones take their place almost imme
diately; often within six weeks, al
lowing the hen to resume her egg
production with a minimum of lost
time. The early molting' hen she'ds
her feathers, Merv slowly and spends
her time singing and preening her
new clothes in the sun instead or
working for exercise and for food
production
Too frequently when hens are de
pended, .on, 'to' hatch in the, jpnnfr,Uhe lay bones should Jie .thia-ajind
trnisl6sttandomeintch'esuno
come off until June. Pullets from
these lato hatched broods have to
combat the hot weather, lice, mites,
and chiggers, therefore they are not

Official Proceedings of ilie
Hoard of CoiuuiiHioner.s
Dnkota City, Neb., July 25, 1921
Board of county commissioners met
pursuant to adjournment ith the
following members present: Will H.
Rockwell, chairman; Nels Andersen
and J. J. Lapsley, commissioners;
Geo. W. Learner, county attorney,
and Geo. J. Boucher, county clerk,
when 'the following business was
transacted:
Clerk was directed to advertise for
bids for rent of poor farm and hoard
ing paupers for 1922.
The following resolution was adopt
ed in regard to proposed deviation in
State Road south of Homer:
"Resolved, that the State Engineer
be requested to survey, locate and ap
prove a deviation in the State High
way south of Homer, leaving the
Highway as now located, north of
Thacker's, going north, and pass over
high ground west of old dam site, re
turning to the Road just north of
old Combs grove. The deviation
asked for the following reasons, in
part:
1. It will ooviate the necessity of
crossing the creek twice, savinironc
new bridge at tho estimated co-jt of
$0,000, and doimr awav with another
j bridge that Is too light for State
uiKiiwuy uiu wuuiu nuvo in nu re
built,
2. It will obviate tho necessity of
crossing flat where It was proposed
n nave spillway, or to throw up a
high grade that would bo constant
mature when cold weather comes on
and maturity is halted. The pullet
loafs around the flock as a runt until
the next siin.-g, when she lays a few
eggs npd calls it a year's work.
Since these lato hatched pullets are
not profitable it is best to cull out
these runts at this time of the year
to save money in food consumed and
oliminute the weak birds which aro
usuajly the ones first effected witli
uisease.
All crippled and unhealthy birds
should lie removed because they not
only do not lay enough eggs to pay
for their keep but if they are kept
over, their eggs are too apt to get
into the hatchings and poor vitality
is hnrided down to the pullets that
are to be kept for egg production.
Body enpneity lias a great deal to
do with egg production, since room ia
noee.ury to hold food in sufficient
quantities to produce eggs. The
hotly capacity is shown by tho length
and breadth of the back, distance be
tween the en 1 of the breast bone and
the lay bones, or pelvic arch, and the
depth of the body in front. In the
small breeds, tho distance between
tho breast bone and tho lay bones
should be nt least three lingers and
plnced between them.
In summarizing, the following ta
ble should be of benefit to the cull
ing work:
