Billboard Revenues.

One hundred and fifty dollars a
month! That is the revenue Los
Angeles derives from the myriads of
billboards that convert the beauty of
the town into ugliness.
Five dollars a day! That is the
sum total of the payments made by
all the vandals here engaged in the
business of desecrating the charming
homes of Los Angeles. For that rev.
enue the city bestows its permission
on the billboard builders to destroy
values in the residence section; to
maintain nuisances that are fragrant
ly Objectionable and highly injurious
to hundreds and hundreds of men
and women who spend time and
money and labor in making their
homes beautiful. It is an outrage!
And it is an outrage against which
all the powers of this municipal gov
eminent should be promptly EN-.
ployed.-Los Angeles Express.

The secret of success in the winter
season, whether in producing eggs or
in raising little chickens for early
broilers, is to provide the conditions
in existence during April and May
the most favorable months, naturally,
for such work.
1t is not definitely known what
causes some hens to produce an occa-
sional "pigeon-sized'' egg. 1t was for
a time thought that these were the
last few eggs of the litter, but this
theory has been exploded.
Sell off all the surplus ROSTERS and
all old hens. Keep only hens under
three years old for laying, and not a
single rooster more than is necessary
for breeding. Feeding useless birds
soon eats up the profits.
Don't forget the chickens need
pure. fresh water in the winter just
as badly. if not worse, than they do
In the summer. And it must be con-

The best way to "cure" all kinds of

clean, to feed good feed, and to give
daily opportunity for exercising.
Those are the cornerstones to success
with poultry.
Turkeys are great rangers and as
1t IS part of their very nature they
should be given opportunity to take

Big. fat hens should not be given
as much corn as those that are in

GOVERNMENT IN END TO
CONTROL WATER POWER
ConsoI.d alton a Preliminary, in
Opinion of Geological Surveys
Our Country Behind Others.

Consolidation of water-pOwer con,
troll in the United States is inevitable
but the ultimate control will be in
the hands of the Government. This
is the assertion made in bulletin on
the subject just issued by the United
States Geological Survey.
7 Marshall O. Leighton, chief n.y.
drographer of the survey, in a pre-
face to the bulletin, says there is a
| menace to American industrial lead
| ership in the present situation of
American unpreparedness to meet the
! new questions involved in power de-
velopment in the United States in
connection with the great advance
made abroad in this direction.
He said certain great consultations
of water-power interests have taken
place during the last few years,
which, with the appearance of the
names of few persons among the
officers or in the directorate of a
large number of water-power compa-
MES, point Enthusiastically to concen-
tration of ownership in several
groups that might consolidate or at
least effect community of interest.
This Nation, he says, now has no
water-power policy worthy of the
name. 1t must, therefore, he de-
clares, either meet the situation with
some such comprehensive plan as that
recommended by President Taft in
his conservation message to Congress
or else give way to countries which
have we'll defined policies.
Certain European countries, not
ably Switzerland and Italy, are far
ahead of America with respect to the
water-power problem, and advanced
action in the matter of Federal regu-
lation already has been taken, accord
ing to report in the bulletin from
M. Rene Tavernier. Chief Engineer of
the Department of Public Works of |
France. NJ. Tavernier says that these
now recognize water power
as public utility.
Leighton urges the need. for con-
certed State or National action. He

the Federal Government to control
water power on navigable streams
and tributaries and to make charges
for water power.
The water-power sites of Europe,
be says, are close to the great mar
kets of the world and the cheapest
sources of energy are going to be
used without reference to any partic-
nlar flag. He asks if there is any
one in the United States so confident
If this country's leadership as to as

He ends with the declaration that
he solution of the problem lies in
legislative regulation of water-power
development. ,

know the relative proportions of the
several substances in foods, but he
should endeavor to learn by expert
ence what to give his flocks, what to
avoid, and how much and how often.
The two principal substances in food
desired for poultry are nitrogen (for
nesh, albumen, etc., and carbon (for
fat. The nitrogenous foods are corn,
rat meat, grease, rice, ETC. If a hen
is fat she needs no food excelling in

Ii the hen is poor give grains at
night. All foods, however, contain
rat and also some nitrogen. 1t should
be borne in mind that the more quiet
and sluggish the disposition the less
corn or heating food is required. A
laying hen should never be very fat,
for the accumulation Of fat is very
injurious to reproduction. If too fat
the hen may not lay: she becomes
egg-bound, breaks down, and soon
proves unproductive. Any fowls that

fed heavily a hen will either lay or
fatten in a short time, and if the
hens are Asiatics and cease to lay the
feeding must be done cautiously. 1t
Is even better to get them down to a
poor condition rather than permit
them to become too fat. An excellent
mode of feeding is to allow plenty OF
bulky food, and to give each hen an
ounce of raw chopped meat in the

COST OF PRODUCING EGGS.
A bulletin from Cornell University

i've. the record of a large number OF
poultry keepers, which shows the av.
rage cost of eggs per dozen in win.

ost no money; but townspeople who
lone would be about 11@12c per

sting question now that they are re-
