TO INSURE GOOD EGG YIELD
Nothing Of Greater Importance Than
Green Feed Of Some klnd-iens
Relish Alfalfa.

Necessary as meat feeding is to in
sure a good egg yield, 1t is no more
important than feeding some kind OF
green feed For this nothing is better
than cabbage, small enough to be
eaten by the hen in one day. This
should be hung up where the birds
can peck at it without jumping up.
Mangels or beets cut open and
placed on nails will usually be eaten
greedily. Onions may be cut up and
fed about twice a week, though they
should not be given for a day or two
before the birds are to be killed for
eating, on account of the disagree
able flavor produced in the meat.
Hens, though having a variety OF
grains and a proper amount OF meat.

RIGHT MARKET FOR POULTRY
During Holiday Season Many Poulter
ers Shove Stock Forward, Ieav-
ing Their Pens Bare.

The holiday season offers the larg-
est market for oil kinds OF poultry.
but then. too. the supply is also very
large. as many poulterers shove their
poultry on to the market then. lsav-
ing their pens bare for further selling.
This has its advantage IN closing up
that part OF the business and getting
the price In the pocket and into use,
but sometimes AL poultry is not In
it's best condition at that time.
There often happens to be late poul-
try. even In pretty well regulated
poultry yards. This late stock Is not
as large and plump as the Older stock
Is. and hence It VIII not fetch the
price the heavier viii. unless it may be
chickens that are ready for hroilers.
These nearly always net a big price
per pound. although the numbers OF
pounds is hardly plural, a pound and
a half being about right.

POULTRY
HOUSE FOR GROWING FOWLS


The house accommodation for the
growing birds are very important
The hSuse should, OF course. be OF the
open front type 20 insure fresh air
and dryness through good ventilation.
Il Is very desirable to have the house
large enough and high enough for
man to enter. This win guarantee
plenty OF afr space and make It much
more convenient In cleaning OF catch
ing the birds. II Is also highly de-
sirable that the house be portable so
that II may be moved about. In this
way the young fowls can be isolated
from the older stock, which is a desir-
able plan. The birds can then be
moved out on a pasture. stubbie field
or orchard, and thus have the ad-
vantage OF clean ground where they
will not be so liable to contract dis
ease which might be among the old
flock or on the ground occupied by it.
Then. too. the young stock is inter
fered with considerably at feeding
time and do not have a fair chance If
larger fowls are about.
II colony laying houses are used on
the farm, these same houses, II por-
table, can be used for the growing
chickens. Or, good growing colony
house could be built oxs feet in size
with an ordinary shed roof and open
front. This honsa could be nsad later
as a laying house to accommodate
about twenty hens.

DEAL MADE WITH UNIONa
Lloyd d-Ge0rge's Labor Scheme 70 Be
Put Through.

London, Jan. 3-An account of the
conference. held Eriday, evening ha--
tween Premier Asquith, David Lloyd
George the Minister of Munitions,
and deputation from the Amalga-
mated Society of Engineers, which is
the most influential trade union body
and includes most Of the trades con-
cerned in the manufacture OF muni-
tions. issued last night by the press
bureau, shows that the Go; arnment
has decided to acquieSce in all the de-
rlaads Of the trade unionists in re-
turn for their consent to Immediate
introduction of Mr.. Lloyd Georges
scheme of labor dilution.
The press bureaus account Is made
up for the most part of excerpts FROM
Mr.. Asquith's remarks to the reputa-
tion at the conference, which lasted
three hours, but includes also the
statement that the deputation agreed
before the conference was closed, "to
accept on behalf of the membership OF
their society the scheme of dilution
and to cooperate acticely therein"
A bill covering the union demands
will be pushed through as soon as
possible. The demands mainly concern
labor for unskilled workmen and wo-
men introduced under the dilution
scheme. The Government had al
ready agreed to restore the status
quo after the war.
Premier Asquith's appeal to The
delegation was along familiar lines.
"From the point Of view of the
state" he said, "the great point l
want to impress on you is the impor-
tance Of putting this dilution into
effect and at once 1t is an urgent mat
ter to meet the necessities of the war
1t is important also that the output
of munitions should as far as possible
be domestic, not foreign. because the
financial problem before US is very
serious-an obligation to pay either
in exports or gold to America and
countries like her for munitions which
we are getting there.
"Thus your immediate consent to
the dilution scheme means an enorm-
Gus gain both in military efficiency
and financial stability. No doubt it is
difficult to persuade men. who re-
gard the priorities and privileges oi
skilled labor as almost gospel, to fore
60 for time those privileges and ad
NIT unskilled men into the class oi
work which the skilled have been i:
the habit of doing. They have ma
tural fear that when the war end:
it will be impossible to re-establisi
the old conditions and that all tn,
generations of trade unionists vii
have been undermined.
"The only way that these suspicion:
can be eradicatea is by the unions eX
crting all their force to influence
porary process"
