Io,ua Hen Female
Of Vast Importance
to Ha,Dkeye State

Absolutely accurate figures on the
are, of course, impossible to secure,
but from the best estimates given 1T
is plain that the Iowa hen is a fe-
male of vast Importance to the state
Her lay is a liberal one as well as
tuneful. Estimated by the popular
and acceptable unit of measurement,
she dollar. it amounts to more than
the-annual wheat crop of the state. OF
which cereal Iowa produces good
many bushels Back III 1899 Uncle
Sans census enumerators claimed to
have counted Iowa hens and their
produce. The latter was estimated at
103, 273,505 dozen. Whether the job
was too strenuous or whether for lack
of time. there appears to have been
no count made since, later statisti-
clans either accepting the 1909 count
or simply contenting themselves with
estimates which, to be accurate, is
more or less guesswork; however,
Suesswork is all right-when it hits.
In 1912 the assessors of Iowa esti-
mated, the number of poultry upon

That included all varieties, chickens,
turkeys, ducks, etc. The egg yield for
that same year was estimated at o.
o49,731 dozen. Striking a sort of aver
age between the 1909 count and the
1912 estimate we may assume the an

from numerous maternal duties by the
evolution of the incubator and brooder
she is enabled to devote her entire
time and attention to the duty Of the
hour, egg production.
One hundred million dozen eggs in
single heap would be sight worth
seeing. just for the purpose of fauci-
full figuring, let us imagine the good
people Of Iowa denying themselves
their customary soft boiled and their
ham and for a period Of twelve
months. Let them also accept their
johnny-cake and custard pies eggless
during the interim, that the entire out
put OF eggs may be sent into the mar
kets of The world. Now an ordinary
shipping case of eggs contains thirty
dozen. Four hundred cases make a
carload. At this rate the reader will
observe that it would require more
than 5000 cars to haul a single years
crop Of eggs TO market. 1t seems in
credible of belief, but figures tell the
thruth. This is by no means as fanci-
full either, as it sounds: instead 1t is
an array OF facts. That many eggs are
actually produced each year and the
people of the state receive their actual
value in one way or another. Long live
the Iowa hen! May her sun never set !
and to date he hever has.

NOW rs TIME TO CAN RHusARe,
II Makes Good Combination With
Fruits For Jam


Fruits For Jam.
Early June Is a good time TO can
rhubarb for winter. according to the
home economics teachers at Iowa
State College.
When rhubarb is to be canned for
sauce. it is best to remove some of the
oxalic acid from it first. This may
easily be done. Il it is to be canned in
syrup. by blanching it for two min
utes. II the cold pack process is used
by packing the rhubarb in cans, set
the jars under the faucet and let cold
water run over the rl1ubarb for abou;
twenty minutes before sealing the
Jars.
II the pink color is desired, the rhu-
barb should be jut up with the peel on.
Then after canning, the jars should
be wrapped in paper to prevent
bleaching, before being stored away.
Rhubarb may be used in combina-
ton with other fruits in making Jam,
say the home economies teachers at
Ames. Some Of the pleasing combira-
tons that are recommended are rhu-
barb and strawberry Juice; rftbarb,
raisins and chopped nuts; rhubarb and
peaches bT1e
