BEST PAYING PULLETS!
OPPORTUNITY OVERLOOKED FOR
EARNING NEEDED CASH.
Average Farm Hen Producing an Az.
erage of Eighty Eggs Annually
Returns No Profit - Three
Most important Points.

Raiser.)

Poultry rightly handled is the best
paying live stock farmer can keep
with the added advantage of COM.
paratively small investment in build.
ings and of both quick and constant
cash returns. This is not true, how
ever, of the average farm iocks,,
which produce no eggs in the fall and
early winter and average, according
to the last census, less than eighty
eggs each in year. Hens so kept
pay no profit whatever if the cost of!
their food is considered.
1t is pullets that produce an average
Of $50 eggs each in a year and produce
a fair proportion Of those eggs in late
fall and winter, the season of highest
prices and best profits, that are the
money makers. 1t is remarkable that
the farmers who would be most adj
vantaged by steady cash return from
a flock of good hens are the most neg
lectful of this opportunity.
Good pullets which will produce an
average of $50 eggs each and pay their
owner a net profit Of $2Aeach in a year
are not the common scrub hens of the
farms; they are thoroughbred pull
let's, bred and reared for egg produc-
ton, and so reared that they attain
laying maturity in the first half Of
October. To the farmers who are
used to getting no eggs in the fall and
early winter this will seem an i'm
possibility, but the thousands of farm
ers who are easily accomplishing it
prove the fact.
To accomplish this the three chief
points are to have the chicks Matched
the first half of April, to keep the pull
let's steadily growing SO that they
reach laying maturity the first half of
October and then that they be kept
steadily laying by good care and good
food. Six months is the normal time
Of growth Of healthy pullet. Six
months forward from the first half of
April is the first half of October, and
the rightly handled" pullets will be
fully mature and laying before cold
weather comes upon them. The chicks
Matched one or two months later are
checked in growth by the strong heat
of summer and are about half mature
when the cold Of coming winter over
takes them. Such pullets lay the bulk
Of their eggs during the months of
lowest prices and pay little or no
profit. Thousands of farmers are max
ing So apiece profit yearly on their pull
let's, buying all Of the good, and as the
demand. for fresh laid eggs increases
more rapidly than the supply there
is always room for others.

STATE employees LET OUT
Appropriation for the Railroad Com
mission Made by the 1913 Legisla-
ture Is Not Sufficient to
Carry on Work.

Madison.-A large number of "extra"
employees and two regulars in the office
of the railroad commission have been
"let out" temporarily, due to the fact
that the appropriation made for the
department by the 1913 legislature is
not sufficient to carry on the work as
it should be carried on. The appropri-
alton is $4,000. 1t is explained by
Chairman Roemer of the commission
that it has become necessary to put a
large part of the force of the commits
sion upon work in the engineering de-
partment and that, inasmuch as the
extra" help could not be employed in
this work, the present action was fol-
lowed

A young turkey is like a cat; its

You are never sure that it is dead.
They can often be picked up, to all

comes a gasp and a return to life, and
the bird is quite ready for breakfast

Chicken Feeding.

low. Dry feeding generally results
first in increased reproduction, the
birds appear to be in fine health and
it is only after this kind of feed has
been continued for a long time, that
the bad results appear.
1t is a fact therefore, that if birds
seem to thrive at first on dry feeding,
it is not to be taken as indisputable
evidence that they are thriving and
can do without green food.
It is much more important to supply
the birds plenty of green food along
with dry grains and meat scraps, than
when wet mashes are fed.

BY FRANKLIN p. MERRiCk,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna-

PARIS, Oct 31-Despite the heavy
losses they have suffered, the Ger
mans are taking a sharp offensive
along the battle front from the coast
to Arras, according to an official
statement issued here this afternoon.
The allies have lost some ground
south of Ypres, but have advanced to
the east of Ypres.
The unofficial statement follows:
Yesterday was marked by gener-
al offensive on the part Of the Ger
mans along the entire front from Nieu-
port to Arras, and by violent attacks
at other points on the line of battle
from Nieuport to the Canal of La
Basse There were alternate advanc-
es and retreats. South of Nieuport,
the Germans who had taken Rampska-
pelle have been driven back by a
counter attack.
ITO the south of Ypres we have lost
some points of support, Hollebeckes
and Sandworde, and we have ad-
vanced to the east Of Ypres to the
Paschendele forest.
Between La Bassee and Arras all
the German attacks have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses for them. In
the region of Chaulnes we have ad-
vanced beyond Lihons and we have
taken Quesnoy-En-Sa Santerre.'

PREDICTS
DOUBLED STRENGTH
FOR PROGRESSWES
Candidate for Representative
Says Beveridge Will Garry
District by Good Vote
Expects Own Election.

Ebert Russell, Progressive candi-
date for representative in congress
from the Sixth district, returned to
Richmond today from thorough can
vass of the district and in state
ment predicted his election by a con-
siderable plurality. Mr.. Russell based
his prediction on his own observations
and reports made to him by nearly
every county. city and township work
er In the district. He also said Mr..
Beveridge would be the districts
choice for United States senator.
The most significant feature Of this
campaign in the Sixth district has
been the large number of doubtful
voters. Poll books of all parties have
listed this class as numbering from
eighteen to twenty per cent of the vote
in each county," said Mr.. Russell.
These voters have now swung to the
Progressive party and have assured
the election of myself, a surprising
plurality for the Progressive state tick
ct and the election Of various Progress
sive candidates for county offices in
each of the eight counties. These men
who were listed as doubtful have paid
strict attention to the discussion of the
issues by the various party speakers
and the big bulk of them have been
convinced that their best interests are
represented by the Progressive party.
SO they are going to support it.
Party Gains Votes.
| The Progressive party in the dis
trict has not only held the strength II
had two years ago but has nearly
doubled it, for the most part at the
expense of the Democrats. Finly
| Gray knows this and he Is a badly
! frightened man. His political appoint
| ments have left sore spots all over
| the district and the Anti-Taggart ele
ment of his party is against him al
most solidly These Democrats will
support Mr. Beveridge and myself
Republicans know that James f. Wat
son dictated the nomination of p. J
Lynch for representative in congress
and / know that the strong antiWat
son faction of that party will vote
against him. Beveridge and myself
will get the bulk of this vote because
these Republicans won't support low
tariff Democratic candidate.
| The splendid organization We have
| will also be an important factor in the
| Progressive success in this district
Every township is thoroughly organic
ed and there is county ticket in the
[ field in every county. Two years age
we did not have county tickets in
| Union. Rush and Henry counties. We
I have a reasonable prospect of electing
! two or more county candidates in
every county and in Wayne we will
| elect our whole ticket
