1t has always been the writer's opin-

containing matter of permanent value

FORCED MOULTING.

For several years a good deal has
been said and written about forcing
the moult of fowls, thereby cutting
down the time consumed by the bird
in renewing it's plumage and increas-
ing proportionately the egg yield.
good many hard headed poultry rails
ers had begun to take notice and con-
slider whether there might not be
something in it and several within
the writer's circle Of acquaintanceship
had tried it though, so far as can be
ascertained, without favorable results.
One in particular, a Tacoma fancier,
lost a splendid cock bird by forcing
his moulting in order to get him ready
for an early show. True this incident
has no bearing on the question
whether forced moulting increases the
egg yield.
The Cornell University Experiment
Station has recently made public the
results of an experiment in forced
moulting. In this experiment 215
birds were used, divided into six
focks, there being two pens of three
year-old birds of which one pen was
starved" or forced" and the other
fed as usual. The other flocks con-
sisting of two two-year-old and two
one-year-old focks were similarly
treated. Unfortunately our space will
not permit giving complete details of
the experiment but the summary of
results will be found interesting. Here
it is:
General Conclusions.-The findings
would indicate that with the methods
employed, with White Leghorn fowls,
one, two and three years old, it does
not pay to force molt,' by starvation
method and that apparently it is good
policy to encourage hens, by good care
and feeding, to lay during late sum-
mer and fall rather than resort to I'M
usual means to stop laying in order
to induce an early mott, with the hope
Of increasing productiveness during
early winter, a season which is natur-
ally unfavorable for reproduction. In
short, it appears wise, when hens want
to lay, to let them lay"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
1. Will early Matched pullets that
have laid heavily during the winter
make good breeders or will their vi
tally be impaired by their heavy lay
ing uniting them as breeders?
2. What is considered the best
mating: hens with a cockeral or pull
lets with a cock bird? Pc. J. B., Wen
atchee, Wash.
Ans.-1. Certainly not There can
be no better proof of splendid vitality
in a hen than heavy laying. That
idea that a bird, to be good breeder,
should suspend egg production and
rest up thorough the winter is enough
to give a real poultryman the fantods.
Never breed from the "resters" of the
flock.
2. | don't know; either makes

DDS myself and can see little difference
in results.
1. I am newcomer to Puget Sound
and would like to have you tell me
what breed Of fowls you think would
be most profitable for me to keep
Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks
or White Leghorns?
2. Do you consider the fireless
brooders a success in this section?
3. Is the dry or wet wash the best
for fowls in this part Of the country?
4. Which breed is best to raise for
broilers??
5. Are white eggs preferred to
brown ones in the Puget Sound mar
kets?
6. What style of laying house do
you recommends. L. M, Belling-
ham, Wash.
Ans.-1. can't answer that ques-
ton, though of course have an opin-
ion, but would advise you to figure out
carefully what breed of fowls will pay
you the best and keep that breed. 1t
won't take you long to come to a de-
cision once you are familiar with the
conditions here.
2. Yes.
81 don't know.
4. The Wyandotte makes the best
broiler of ordinary size. The Leghorn
makes the best SQUAD" broiler.
5. No. There is but one grade of
fresh ranch eggs in the Puget Sound
market.
6. I don't recommend any; you
must study out your own conditions
and needs and build accordingly.

AN AFRICAN IN THE WooDPILE.

"A contributor to one of our ex-
changes from the Pacific coast is CIV
ing that paper series of articles on
the crimes of the poultry world. AS
crime two he discusses the ignorance
Of the poultry editor. The gist of his
charge is contained in the following:
"'There is no question but that the
greatest shortcoming of our papers is
their failure to cover at the appro-
pirate time subjects that would prove
interesting to all of us, and on which
instruction is vitality necessary to the
beginner, who, in my opinion forms
the majority of the subscription list.
1t is lamentable how many papers fail
to deal at the proper time with such
important subjects as incubation,
brooding. advanced stage of chick
rearing, care of breeders, etc.
The subscriber to a poultry paper is
entitled to have this information fur
nished him by his paper and at the
proper time He probably subscribed
with the expectation of getting 1T. The
fact that the information he needs was
published by the paper a year or two
ago, and is familiar to the older sub
scribers. does not help him. He is
paying for his knowledge, and it should
be given him. but in too many cases
the season runs along, the paper
comes out month after month filled
with biological discussions, show re-
ports, free readers, and uninteresting
and irrelevant gossip, and he is obliged
finally to write to some more expert
enced poultry raiser, and ask for the
information desired
THAT charge presents an opinion
common among people who have con-
sidered the subject from single point
of view. 1t does not represent an in
telligent opinion-thOugh shared by
not a few intelligent men. No man,
however intelligent and we'll informed,
can know all phases of every question.
This charge displays failure to under
stand some very simple things-and
first of all, lack of apprehension OF
the function Of a periodical. 1t is not
the prime function of poultry journal
to Systematically give instruction to
beginners. 1t may make such instruc-
ton a feature for a period, as this
paper did with it's Lessons in Poultry
Keeping, a few years ago; but 1T can
not go over the same ground again
year after year, If the work was done
with any approach to thoroughness in
the first place. Nor is it necessary
that it should Matter of permanent
value may be issued in book form,
and in that form is more convenient
and more satisfactory to the reader.
A we'll considered treatment Of such
subject in a book brings the knowl-
edge of the subject up to the date of
publication. The province of peri
odical as it relates to matters appro-
priately treated in such a book, is to
treat of their growth and advance. The
book may be compact, concise, con-
densed the periodical does it's work
best when-without straying too far
beyond bounds it allows considerable
attitude in discussions. A good many
writer's of books have missed their
mark because they failed to see that

woman past 40 Is no longer to be class
ed as young. Naturally there is a Wig
orous protest, and many Of the men,
bers threaten to resign. OF course
there is no disgrace in old age-rather
honor in 1t. Age is one of the very
few things over which we have no con-
troll whatever, and for which we are
neither to be blamed nor credited. Old
age is honorable because it is the re-
suit Of long right living. The vicious,
the careless and the slothful never at
tain it.
1t is by right living, by obedient
observance Of the laws Of nature, that
we not only live to be old but seem
to be younger than we really are. 1t
Is just as much a matter Of pride for
one to look and feel like 40 at 60 as
1t Is for one to be hale at 90. Though
there Is no disgrace In growing old
there ia decided Inconvenience in it,
economically, physically and socially
The woman who feels 40 naturally does
not like to be classified and associated
with women who feel 80. If she is
bright and young in spirit she wants to
continue to be SO regarded by bright
and young people. Vanity really has
very little part in 1t. The woman's
happiness and her sympathetic rela-
tionship with the young and vigorous
depend on it. She has a right to in

through enterprise and originality than
through economy that financial success
may be attained.

E1CHC10O MOI 1OF "VAA~AAs
A famous physician Of late has been
calmly pointing out to women the fool
ishness Of physical exercise as means
Of resting the mind. He says emphat-
ically that the old theory is is all non
sense-that the mind cannot rest when
the body is tired. He says that the
practice of taking a long walk at a
fast trot when one has done a hard
days work is entirely the wrong thing
to do In his words, "It adds one
fatigue to another" He does not be:
lieve in strenuous exercise for men
tally overworked people.
Another belief of his will cause more
excitement and discussion than any
other. women" he says, who do not
indulge in physical exercise live longer
than men," He does not think women
need exercise. This is a daring state
ment to make In the middle of gener-
alton that is absolutely given over to
the exercise fad. He is not alone in
women who have gone to rack and ruin
through physical exercise agree with
his theory. Too many women have be-
come useless burdens through over-ex-
ercising for this statement to be en-
tirely denied. The theory that athletics
gave grace to woman has been dis
carded and there is quite good deal OF
support given in high quarters to the
new theory that heavy exercise units

The doctor says that plenty of fresh
air day and night and one hours walk
Is enough for any woman. Regarding
the subject Of the annual vacation for
women the doctor says: mine out of
ten women feel worse after a vacation
than when they started and are unable
to resume work properly. A woman
does not need long rest, but a great
number Of short ones. 1t is better to
rest four separate half hours day
than to 60 like mad through the week
and rest sixteen hours on Sunday. 1t
Is better to divide the twelve months
Of work into stated half holidays rath-
er than take two months after ten

The Beet Sugar Industry.

One of the most important of the in.
dustries developed in recent years is
the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory work was
done on sugar beets as far back as 1867.
In 1892 only six factories were in oper.
alton in this country, the combined out.
put of which was little over 27,OOO,.
900 pounds of sugar.
According to the National Magazine
there are now no less than sixty-four
factories in operation, with combined
output Of approximately 100000 short
tons of sugar manufactured from beets
with a factory value of $45,OOO,OOO.
One most important factor has been
the production of a high grade sugar
beet seed. For many years American
growers have been dependent almost ex.
clusively on foreign countries for our
sugar beet seed, but for three or four
years past the department of agricul.
ture has been encouraging the success
full growth of sugar beet seed in this
country. 1t has shown that the seed
can be greatly improved by breeding
tests of beets from American grown
seed running as high as II, 10 and
sometimes 20 per cent sugar.
The department is also continuing in
vestigations to determine the best 10.
calities for sugar beet production. When
we remember that less than one-ffth of
the sugar consumed in this country is
produced in the states it is plain that
there is abundant opportunity for de.
velopment; and it is certain that wher.
ever sugar factory is located labor is
Immediately in demand at higher wages
and the value of farmlands increased

Rubber-sOled Shoes.

Women who are good walkers and
who do not fear the roads or pavements
In any kind of weather, have rubber
soles put on their walking shoes. This
also prevents fatigue, as rubber is light
er to walk in than the ordinary heavy
rubber sole. Rubber caps are also
added to heels to make walking easier.
They are said to prevent a constant
vibration to the spine.
