A SIMPLE PROBLEM
ABOUT OUR SUGAR.

he American people send abroad
over slOO,Oo0,000 year to paw for
imported sugar. To meet this hin
requires the wheat crop of over
lloO,OOO acres. But all the sugar
now imported could be grown on
1''oO,OOO acres in beets or cane.
In other words we are throwing
away the product of approximately
o'4oo,o0O acres of land by not grow
ing our own sugar.
The sugar, bill of American ueople
Is million dollars day
AT present more than a half the
enormous amount of sugar which
this represents is brought from a.
broad.
Growing all this sugar at home
Will give employment to hundreds
OF factories, tens of thousands of
farmers and hundreds of thousands
OF workmen.
Use sugar made in the United
States.

TAME HENS LAY MOST EGGS
Poultry Keeper Must Be on Good
Terms With Members of His Flock
Make Friends With Chicks.

When a man says his hens don't
lay or pay, or both, little observs-
ton will usually disclose the fact that
his hens are too shy and nervous to
stay on the nest long enough to lay
an egg. Have you ever watched the
successful poultry keeper, the one who
is making poultry keeping pay, how
his fowls run after him whenever he
has occasion to enter the poultry
yard? The best results cannot be OBJ
tanned from hens that are wild and
shy. The poultry keeper must be on
good terms with his hens or his hens
won't lay as they should. A hen that
is so wild that she will fly off the nest
or roost whenever anyone enters the
poultry house cannot be a good layer
She is in a continual nervous state for
fear someone will come within sight
of her and hasn't time to think Of
laying eggs.
But there is another disadvantage
beside the one that directly affects
your pocketbook in having wild"
fowls. 1t isn't conducive to good
temper to have your fowls start cack-
ling and Growing every time you hap
pen to get near them, nor is it very
convenient when you have to chase a
longlegged cockerel all over the
place every time wife wants chicken
for dinner. Viewed from any angle
the tame hen is by far the more de-
sirable. It isn't hard to tame chick
ems. On the contrary, it is the easiest
thing imaginable. 1t is simply mat
ter of being friendly whenever you
are around the fowls, instead of throw
ing stones at them every time they
get near you. But the fowls are by
far the easiest to tame when young.
Start making friends with your chicks
this summer and your next hens will
be tames ones.
