The general features of poultry busbéfidry, it adhered to by farmers and farmers' wives, by city dwellers whd' have enough space to keep a few heéns, and by poultry specialists of the country’ will result in a remarkablo fncrease’ of poultry and egg produc- tion. 'Only a few essential things are to be constantly borne in mind. First in this list, perhaps, should come care- tul selection’ of breeding stock, in' or- der to reproduce a larger percentage of good types of profitable producers. Next to that in importance is early batching. In order that pullets may be sufficiently mature to become good fall and winter layers, the chicks must be out of the nest as early as possible. For at least two weeks .after the chicks = sre hatched mother hens should be confined to brood coops to prevent fatality to the brood from ex- posurs to wet and other - dangers. From the time the chicks are old enough to be immune from the dan- gers of wet grass and the like free range s of first importance for both growing stock and ~layers. ‘- Free range, in the first place, stimulates growth. It also stimulates egg pro- duction, and it reduces very materi- ally the quantity of dry feed neces- sary to keep the flock in condition. -Another matter of prime impor- tance is the production of infertile eggs. As soon as the breeding season is over every poultry keeper, whether general farmer, “®pecialist or city} dweller, should see that the hens are kept separate from the cocks. If this practice 1s followed it will result in the saving of millions of eggs that would otherwise become spoiled, el- ther in the hands of the producer or before reaching the consumer. When the chicks have reached a marketable age fare should be exer- cised to dispose promptly of all sur- plus ' cockerels in order to conserve feed. " As early as possible such pul- lets ‘and hens as are not profitable producers should be culled out and sold. The greatest of care should be exercised to see that profitable pul- lets are' kept as egg producers. Throughott the year care should bhe exercised to prevent the marketing of all profitable hens of the general Hens of this. kind Flock of Chickens Like This Will Pay. should never be sold until the end of their second year, and hens of the Mediterranean .or egg class should not be so0ld until the end of their third laying year. A careful check should be kept, however, on hens, and every individual that does not show herself a profitable producer should be sold for meat. BEST FEED FOR LAYING HENS " Mixture of Cracked Corn, Oats and Barley Is Recommended—Exer. cise Is Important, (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A ‘good mixture for laying hens is four parts each of cracked corn and oats 'and one part barley or wheat, if avaliable, which should be scattered in the litter. Provide four or five inches of gobd, clean litter. A dry mash composed of equal parts of cornmeal, bran, middlings, ground oats 'and beef scrap should be kept in| boppers to which the fowls have ac- cess ‘at all times. Plénty of exercise increases the egg yield, 7 Cabbages, mangels, sprouted oats, cut clover and cut alfalfa make ex- cellent green feed for poultry. ‘When wet mashes are fed be sure that they are crumbly and not sticky. GOOD QUALITIES OF ROOSTER More Apt to_Be Carried to Females Than Males—Hens Always Take After Sire. Roosters from high-priced layers are more apt to carry these qualities * to thelr young than are hens of the same breeding. This is because in all animal life the male resembles the dam more than it does the sire and _ ths femsle just reverse. GREAT EFFORT NEEDED TO RAISE FIFTH LOAN| (By United Press.) % Minneapolis, Jan. 24.—The ffth Liberty loan, which will be called the “Victory Loan,” will require greater effort on the part.of ‘every citizen to “go over the top” according to offi- ¢ials of the Ninth . federal reserve district here. today. “The boys at Belleau Wood, at Chateau Thierry, at St. Michiel and at Verdun did not stop to ask ‘Can we do it?" ” declared Theodore Wold, governor of the district. “They didn’t stop until it was done.” i “We must not . ask, ‘Can it be done?” We must do it and we will,” he declared. : A canvass of bankers, newspaper men and officials of the Liberty loan committee disclosed absolute confi- dence—backed by a firm resolve— that the Victory loan must be accom- plished and quickly. One suggestion was that every newspaper in the country prms on their first page a list of the sol iers from their town who fought in the war with the caption: “They have finished their job— now finish yours.” Attention was called to the fact by Charles W. Gordon of the St. Paul Liberty loan committee, that while the soldiers have completed the great- er part of their task in making the world a ‘“‘fit place to live in” the civilians have yet to pay the bills. “It is just like any other obliga- tion that an individual might assume —to pay for alsuit of clothes when the bill comes in, for instance. He ¢aid, “However we have to pay the war bills on a greater scale and we have more time to do it in.” MORE THAN 1.000 WERE y LIGHTED EVERY SECOND (By United Press.) - ‘Washington, Jan. 24 —Neerly 39,- 000,000,000 cigaretes 'were ‘manu- inctured in the:'United 'States! in 918. - A report issued by the department of agriculture shows that the output of cigarets has-increased more than half in the last two years.
