While the western poultryman gets
30 per cent more for his eggs and poul-
try. he has to pay just about the same
per cent more for the ration he feeds
his hens. and, while he gets more eggs
In winter, he has to fight lice and
mites harder in summer. SO all In all
1t is about standoff.
In the vast majority OF cases the de-
liberately unruly pupil comes from
home where the parents are neither re-
spected nor exercise any wholesome
authority. And quite often 1t is the
parents of just such pupils who back

years go by should try in every way
possible to increase the manure output
Of the farm. This will mean the keep
Ing of more cattle. horses. sheep and
hogs. more generous use of straw In
the bedding of the pens and stable, and
lastly. what comes to the same end, ths
putting of the manures which are pro
diced on the land as soon as possible
following their accumulation.
