the industry. For example not only

allow 1t to be readily moved from
place to place. The reason for this
is that Uncle Sam IS making study

The Government also goes to ex-

watch on all the conditions that have
to do with the health and laying Abil-

Uncle Sans flock are exponents Of
the fresh air cult, being practically
raised out Of doors and good many
of them enjoying free range. but that
does not mean that the Federal poul-
try fanciers do not have weather eyes
for changes Of temperature and cli-
matte conditions that might exert In
fiuence upon the poultry. To this end
there are stationed throughout the
poultry plant. thermographs which
mechanically trace . record on paper

these glorified thermometers Installed
in the poultry houses but they do
