THE LIVING PROBLEM.

Although sorely beset by the
problem of meeting the increased
cost of living, as Is the country at
large today, there is little reason
for the real farmer to feel the
strain, for as producer be stands
to reap q measure Of profit from
the skyward trend of foodstuff
prices. 1t is, as noted, but to a
degree that the farmer shares in
prevailing high prices, for unfor.
tunately the distribution problem
is such that the middlemen garner
most of the profits on the smaller
crops, and by market manIpula.
ton manage to get supplies from
the producer at less than true
worth and sell at unduly high fig.
ures.
Sensible farming means, prima
rily, providing ample supplies Of
all the foodstuffs that can be rals-
ed at home, and the coming year
we should see more thorough pre-
paration than ordinarily for the
growing of vegetable and fruit
crops, and of poultry and hogs,
notwithstanding tho temptation to
grow every acre possible in the
chief money crops that now com.

forclbly brought to attention, in
this issue of Modern Farming, by
Mason Snowden, State Agent,

Food for man and feed for live
stock are the basic factors Of farm
operation. In making cotton or

SELECTING BREEDING
STOCK FOR The
SPRINGS CHICKS.
BY &. e. Conkey.

While the time for the average
poultry owner to hatch any chicks,
is still several months off you
must begin selecting your breed
ing birds now if you want to have
strong, healthy and vigorous
young stock.
Upon the wisdom of this selec-
ton depends not only the general
health and stamina of your chicks,
but to a large extent their size,
future habits and laying qualities.
This may not have occurred 10
you, as many people have never
stopped to analyze the Importance
of Matching eggs from only the
best hens in the flock, or those
possessing such qualities az would
make them the most desirable for
breeding purposes. However, |
am sure that as you read the rest
of this article, you will realize
that fully one half of the average
flock Is wholly unfit for breeding
purposes and that the proper Sc
lection of breeding birds Is a very
important matter. Without this
care progress along any line will
be quite impossible.
1t is the very Importance of this
particular phase of poultry raising
that, to me, makes it 30 wonder
fully interesting. 1t is hard to
imagine anything more fascinating
than to pick out certain parent
birds with the idea of reproducing
certain qualities in the offspring
and then eagerly awaiting the re-
suits which Will show the sound
ness of ones judgment.
The experienced poultry raiser
is continually making mental notes
of his birds in anticipation of the
final selection that is to be made
later, so that when the time comes
for actually mating up the pens 1t
is largely a matter of making good
use of the knowledge he has gath
cred regarding each bird. 1t is
best to have the breeding birds in
their own house shortly after Jan.
uary LIST and when they are once
mated, they must be kept entirely
separate from the rest of the flock.
That means, too. that you must
have clean, dry quarters ready to
receive them.
In selecting breeding birds,
your aim should be to take only
those that will be most likely to
give you all-round good chicks
chicks that will possess rugged
health and stamina, that will ma,
ture in reasonable time, that will
make good layers and that will
possess good qualities in general.
This makes it necessary for you
to watch your flock very closely
each day and pick out only those
hens that are strongest, most
healthy and vigorous. 1t is also
desirable to choose hens that you
know are good layers or that show
indications Of being good layers,
as they will be most likely to pro-
duce chicks that will mature into
good layers. However, do not
forget that hens that have been
laying regularly are likely to be
run down and should not be used
for breeding purposes until they
have been put in good condition
by getting a good tonic along with
their feed. No hen should be Sc
lected as q breeder that Is known
to be poor layer.

high. If most food for man and
provender for beast be bought and
not raised on the farms, it will be
found that the unduly high range
of prices OIL the staple crops is re

farmer. And with the uncertain.
ty of staple crop prices, especially

N-HEARTED
o. Since you did not love the
plain man enough to marry him,
your love for him now is purely
imaginary. For the sake of your
happiness and your husbands you
must forget the man. The best way
to do this is to keep your mind oc-
cupied. Unfortunately homework is
not sufficient to accomplish this for
some women. If you cannot forget
your unhappiness while going about
your work at home, get work away
from home. A year of work in an
office might give you a better per-
spective of home conditions and help
you to see that you have all that
makes for happiness and that if you
are unhappy the fault is within your
self l sincerely believe that you
would have been just as unhappy if
you had married the plain man, and
you would have wished a thousand
times that you had chosen the man
who Is now your husband. Let your
thoughts beautify that which you

PLANS FOR BABY WEEK.

Plans for the nationwide Baby
week proposed by the General Fed
Grafton of Woman's club for March
4 to II, have extended beyond the
United States. A woman's club in the
British West Indies has just written
to the Federal Children's bureau for
information about what Baby week
means, and expects to initiate local
campaign. Several Canadians have
been heard from, too, including the
Saskatchewan commissioner of public
health.
The Philippines will take part in
the celebration if the plan of a Ma
Mia woman's club is carried out. By
special request the children's bureau
has sent its Baby week bulletin to
Valdez and Nome in Alaska, and to
two of the Indian reservations in
western states.
The local plans for Baby week vary
in the 2,029 communities from which
the Children's bureau has had in
quiries. For instance, Wisconsin has
instituted a statewide campaign in
which special emphasis is placed on
adequate nursing care and instruction
for prospective mothers. In Nebraska
child's welfare exhibit is being pre-
pared by the women's clubs of Omaha
and Lincoln, which will travel among
| the clubs throughout the state after
| the Baby week in those two cities is
over. One town in Maryland which
is going to have a birth registration
day announces that an enterprising
merchant has promised to give 3
toothbrush to every mother who goes
| to the city hall to find out whether
her baby's birth is registered! An
other community is having competi-
ton for the cleverest window plan
