Roanoke, March %. wiz Nc
Craw, who recently shot and killed
Jasper Allen, in q mountain cabin
near Mount Air, N. c., yesterday
afternoon told of the circumstances
leading up to the killing for the
first time. McCraw's. defense will,
according to his story, undoubtedly
be based on self7defcnsc.

~ don't knc.y what he hit me with.
Whatever it was fell out OF his hand
when he hit me. Wesley Edwards

a gun one day when ! was not armed.
I am not gun-totcr and have never
been a blockadcr or sold liquor"
Asked if ne though there would
be shooting at Hillsville Courthouse
when he was brought to trial, Nc
Craw said: "There will be trouble if
they don't guard ME. There is a lot
of those Aliens up there and they arc
all hot-tempcred.'
McCraw refused to stat: whether
or not Allen was armed al the time
of the Killing or in what position the
two men were when the shots were
fired. Pending the. securing Of coun-

evaporating through the shell. The
higher the temperature and the more
circulation of air there is the faster
the evaporation takes place. Eggs
grow stale in warm poultry houses, in
hot kitchens, on the farm or in the
cupboards Of the consumer. Egg deal
ers count that three stale eggs are
equal to rotten egg and pay accord
ingly.
Gather your eggs daily and keep
them in cool place. Market them as
often as possible-at least once a
week-better twice a week.
$15,0oo,ooo Annual Loss.
Fertile eggs cause great loss-a
loss estimated by the government ex-
perts at $15,000,000 year.
Two years ago the United States
government experts conducted an ex-
pertinent in Kansas to compare the
loss from fertile and infertile eggs.
How Experiment Was Conducted.
Ten thousand eggs, collected from
different farms, were used in the ex-
pertinent. Half were fertile and half
were infertile, and every egg was alb
solutely fresh when ii entered the ex-
pertinent.
These eggs were kept on the farm
under ordinary farm conditions. Some
were stored in parlors, some in kitch-
ems, some in cellars and some in pan
tries. Some were put In nests, some
rndar In vfnO hans ond co,,,a ,,ndar Sft
ting hens. The same number of fertile
and infertile eggs were always put un-
der exactly the same conditions. In n
week the eggs were collected and sold
to the local grocery store where they
were candled. They were then shipped
TO st. Louis, where they were again
candled.
Results Of Experiment.
While on the farm 20 per cent OF the
fertile eggs were spoiled for food, as
compared with only 16 per cent of the
infertile ones. On the way to market
IL per cent of the fertile ones were
spoiled as compared with per cent of
the infertile. This makes a total of
43 per cent of the fertile eggs unfit for
food as compared with only % per cent
Of the infertile ones-a difference of 10
per cent. Notice that the greatest loss
in both fertile and infertile eggs is on
the farm.
Fresh air is as good for hens as 1t
is for people. If you have an open
front or a partly open front poultry
hOuSp Won need NOT worry ohout tho
ventilation.
Fresh air does not hurt hens, but
drafts are injurious. The north, east
and west sides of the coop should be
tight to prevent drafts.
Get the habit of cleanliness and you
need not fear lice and poultry dis
eases.

POULTRY AND EGG CROP
BY PROF. P. G. HOLDEN,

Almost every farmer keeps some
poultry. The trouble is he doesn't
make the poultry keep him. Too many
of them are rOOsters. A lot more are
old hens that lay but few eggs and
then want to set. Whenever the price
Of eggs gets high, the old hens go on a
strike. They lay in the henhouse when
they please, but too much of the time
prefer to lay their eggs out in the
fence corners. That means they are
not gathered until they are stale-and
in consequence a low price for the
eggs.
The average farmer considers pOul-
try raising a "side ISSUE" a job for
women and children-a sort of neces-
sary nuisance in order to provide fresh
eggs and toothsOme roast or fry. But
after ALL this "side issue" branch of
the farming business, poultry, nets an
annual return in the United States of
over $600000,000 or enough money to
build two Panama canals every year.
The Panama canal has been written in
to the pages of history as one of the
greatest achievements of modern times.
In its construction our greatest minds
in the science of engineering, art and
medicine were employed. Yet the farm
hen with little or no care closes her
yearly account with balance Of more
than half billion dollars. Only a
very small portion of this vast sum of
money is earned by the well-cared-for
commercial hen. Ninety per cent OF it
goes to the credit of the much neglect
ed fiocks ranging at liberty on the
farms of the country.
Hen Not Appreciated.
None of us half appreciate the
money-earning possibilities of the hen.
For example, the cotton growing states
during n recent slump in the cotton
market due to the European war,
Joined other cotton producing states in
an appeal to congress for federal aid
to tide them over the financial diff
Guilty. The appeal was for $150,0OO0O0
TO be distributed in the South through
the medium of the federal reserve
banks. II these One-crop states had
reckoned with the farm hen they
would have saved themselves the hui
initiation of asking Uncle Sam for help.

Record Of Eighteen Ohio Farm Floeks
Two years ago the Ohio experiment
station made a study Of the profits in
farm poultry. Records of 18 typical
farm flOcks were carefully kept.
These flOcks ranged in number from
SO to $40, some were purebreds others
were mOngrels. They were kept, fed
and tended just as the farmer had been
caring for them before the experiment
station asked him to keep a record.
Here are the results of the investiga.
ton. For the sake of comparison, we
have figured the profit from each flock
on the basis of 100 hens in a flock.
The best five fiocks yielded respect.
lively $247, 1854, $153, $1O7 and $1O4
per hundred hens, while the poorest
five fiocks yielded $67, $66, $63, $62 and
$15 respectively. In no case was there
loss. The average profit per hundred
hens of the Is flOcks was $S7.
Poultry Profits.
One hundred hens are worth a hun.
dred dollars-just about the price of a
good dairy COW. Records of the COW.
testing association in Iowa show that
the average dairy COW makes profit
of $33. Which would you rather do
milk two or three cows or take care of
hundred hens?
Most of us fail to realize that poul.
try is profitable-the wife pays the
grocery bills and every now and then
gets a new piece of furniture or a new
dress with the Chicken money" But
probably not one farmer in a thousand
could tell just how much his chickens
are paying.
You probably have about a hundred
hens-that's the average size of the
farm fiocks in the United States. How
much profit are they producing? Ar
they above the average or below? Ara
you getting $247 or S15?
Produce Eggs When Price is High.
Sixty per cent of the eggs are pro.
duced in March, April and May. Then
the number drops gradually until only
one per cent is produced in November
Production remains low during Janu.

Why nor take better care Of your
hens and have them working for you
during the winter instead of keeping
them at a loss during this period?
You can produce winter eggs. Put
your hens In warm, comfortable, we'll
ventilated house, give them nitrogen
Gus food and furnish water, grit and
oyster shell.
OF course, il will be some trouble to
increase your egg production. Don't
expect results If YOU go at things spas
medically, doing one or two things and
letting the rest go.
Fowls need animal protein food
Bugs and worms furnish this in the
summer; butterlnilk and beef scrap
make good substitutes in the winter.
This chart gives the results of an
Ontario experiment. Twenty-Five hens
receiving buttermilk in their ration
made $11 profit in eight months; II
similar flock fed beef scrap made $40
profit, while flock receiving no meat
or milk was kept at loss of SO.
A similar experiment in Indiana
shows that hens fed skim milk or beef
scrap made profit of 81 per hen an
nually, while those receiving neither
beef scrap or milk were kept at loss
of four cents per hen.
If you feed beef scrap, get good quail
ity, testing 90 or 65 per cent protein.
BE careful not to feed too much.
Few people understand that eggs are
almost as perishable as meat or milk
They belong TO the same class of food,
but just because they are inclosed I'm
hard shell. people think they will
stand almost any kind of treatment.
Government experts estimate a loss
of $45,000,0O0 every year from bad
eggs. This loss can be prevented by
better handling and marketing.
Loss From Shrinkaee.
Five per cent of the eggs in the
United States are lost through shrink
age. The shell of an egg is porous. II
is made this way so the developing
chick can get air during the incubation

Why not produce eggs in the winter?

In january eggs sell on an average
for about 30 cents per dozen. The
price decreases until in April eggs are

OF eggs are put in cold storage at this

What the average
farm hen produces

We will take Arkansas to illustrate the
point.
The average county in Arkansas con-
tains about 5000 farms. II on each
farm there had been 100 hens, each
laying through the year eight dozen
eggs, only about quarter of an egg a
day, and the eggs had sold for 20 cents
q dozen, the income per farm would
have amounted to $160 At this rate
the 1900 farms in each county would
have produced $4S0000. Based on these
figures, the state of Arkansas with her
"a counties, would have produced near
ly a $4,000, ,000-dollar egg crop. This
sum is far I'm excess of the money Ar
kansas would have received as her
share Of the federal loan and more
than half Of the value of the annual
cotton crop.
This $35,000,O00 distributed among
