HOW TO PICK THE
MONEY Y-MAkiNG HENS

Do you know which chickens in
your flock are producing enough eggs
TO pay for their feed?
Can you tell the hen that lays thirty
eggs n year at a time when they sell
at retail for rs cents dozen, from
the hen that lays six times that num-
Der. many of them in the season of
high prices?
Can you tell the steady layer from
the "boarder" in your flock without
first opening her and looking at the
egg sack?
These are some of the questions
that puzzle poultry farmers the coun-
try over.
The hen that produces three or four
eggs a week. and is on the job nearly
the year around is the hen that is al.
ways hustling, according TO ]. G. Hal.
pin OF the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

regularly twice day when the range
food is gone, and give all the sour
milk that can be spared. See that they
have no lice, and that their roosts are
free from mites. They should be shell
tered in an open shed. but better roost
in the trees than in the chicken house
unless conditions are unusually favor
able and ventilation good. Turkeys
are very susceptible to bad air and
poor ventilation. They will come down
with roup II allowed to roost over
damp droppings in dirty house.
Do not try to fatten in confinement.
II they are to be marketed. let them
eat corn with the pigs, and see that
they have all they can eat for the
three or four weeks just before
Thanksgiving. A dose of epson salts
given once a month is good for the
flock. Give teaspoonful to every two
birds in the mash. Provide plenty OF
grit and charcoal and all the onions
available-tops and bulbs as well.

the fish with the crumbs so prepared.
Do not put any water on the fish. Set

fish. Do not bake too long. When

Frank w. Foote, chairman of the

Mr.. Foote will lay before the COM

of making an early trip to New Or
leans for the purpose of laying before
pthe Jackson Highway Committeeman
of that city the advantage of the Mis-
sissippi route and If possible persuade
them to take a stand in favor of this
route.
81 see no reason why New Orleans
should not come out squarely for this
route" said Mr.. Foote today, "once
the matter has been presented to them
| from the New Orleans view point. OF
course, we can appeal to their patriot

as closely as possible the old Jackson
trail. But we can appeal to them also
from a business standpoint.
I "There can be no question, | think,
that New Orleans would be vastly
more benefited by the road through
this section than it would if the road
lcame down through Alabama and the
coast route. Mississippi is new Or
