Opposed To Chicken Law
To the council of the t,

To the council of the town of Ozark.
 Gentlemen:-I hear there is talk of passing a law to compel all fowls inside of the in- corporation to be kept up. and l find it is going to give a great deal of dissatisfaction and 1 am not at all surprised that it does. If you will think how many peo- pie there are who have chickens and no room to fence them in and if they had room are not able. They had better sell them than to feed them and get hardly enough to pay for the feed. besides. you being out all your trouble. If you will con- sider the matter fairly you will find that it would be much less trouble to fence two or three dozen flower gardens than two or three hundred poultry yards. And that isn't all. the people that have flowers. most of them. are able to fence them in. There are numbers of people that get quite lot of living from their chickens. and with such a law passed would be forced to sell them. l have the flowers on my place fenced in and chickens out, and 1 am sure that most of the people that are complaining are more able to fence than I.
 Yours Respt.

The farreaching effect of the European war was emphasized and brought home to us recently by the receipt of the news from Germany that a brother of Cris Stremple was killed in front of Verdun, France. Mr. Stemple tells us us that out of about 2500 people who live in the town from which he came more than 400 have been killed. He thinks the number of men killed in the war has been much greater than newspaper reports indicate.

 Corn planting is on in earnest and some think they will have to plant over as early planting has not come up to a good stand so much for planting in winter.
 Wheat is improving and look. ing reasonably well. Oats con- ing to good stand. There is good prospect for bread and horse feed.
 Fruit seems to be all right so far and bids fair for a good crop. We will feel proud to see the peach ripen. There will be more corn plant ed this year and less cotton. So much the better for the farm- CT to raise something to eat for himself and stock and then some cotton for expense money.

MATCHING EGGS IN
 0LO FASHION WAY
TIMELY SU00ESTioNe IN eELEo- TON OF EGGS, MEETING PLACES, AND FEEDING CHICKS BY A POULTRY SPECIALIST.

When matching eggs with hens, 1t is always desirable to select quiet place and make a nest of clean hay or straw in . shallow box or ' barrel laid on it's side. It is preferable to have this nest on the ground if there is no danger of floods during rainy weather. Make the nest big enough O the eggs can net be rolled out easily. In deep nests there is danger of breaking eggs when the hen leaves or gets on the nest.
 Select quiet hen that has been broody for several days and place her on | nest with . few cull eggs or nest egss in it. and allow her to stay on these eggs for two or three days before giving her the eggs to bs hatched
 It Is especially advisable to make sure that the hen is free from lice. Lousy hens stand on the eggs and pick instead Of keeping the eggs warm. II the hen has lice dust her freely with Persian insect powder or take bit of blue ointment the stse Of pea and rub it on the skin under the vent. Both remedies can be bought at any drug store, and are sffeotAve. Repeat the treatment after nine or ten days to Kill the lice that hatch. Provide feed and water whore the hen can leave the nest and get to them easily. Cracked corn aud wheat make . good feed.
 Selecting Eess.
 The eggs for matching should be carefully selected from freshly laid sGgs that have not besn chilled When hens are not laying many sggs 1t is aAvlsabls to put the sGgs in dry braA. small end down. leaving the up per end or air space uncovered. Place the box in . cooi place that will not drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit Sc. lect eGgs Of uniform size. as they will not bs broken as easily in the nest. Do not pick the largest eggs. Select the average sizes. avoiding thin. thick or irregular shells. Use nine to l6 sSas. depending on the size of the hen.
 Test the eggs about the tenth or fourteenth Aay. This oan bSA done by holding them before . lamp light a d dark room. if an egg tester is not avail able Remove all clear eggs and sucn dark eggs xs show the contents to be Auid, as these eggs will decay and if broken in the nest will prevent oth ar eggs from matching.
 Remove Dad eses.
 It is advisable to remove sll un- hatchable eggs, as 1t allows a better chance for the fertile ones, When hatching begins, generally on the t~enty-first day for hon eggs. if the hon is quiet. leave the chicks until all are hatched unlsss the hen has . tendency to leave the nest with the nrst few matched. It is decidedly tho best to give the chicks water. but with held feed for at least 4S hours
