Why not 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, it 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; buttermilk 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; a
similar flock fed beef scrap made $40
profit, while a flock receiving no meat
or milk was kept at a loss of So.
A similar experiment in Indiana
shows that hens fed skim milk or beef
scrap made a profit of 81 per hen an
nually, while those receiving neither
beef scrap or milk were kept at loss
of four cents per hen.
IL you feed beef scrap, get good quail
ity, testing 60 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 in
hard shell, people think they will
stand almost any kind of treatment.
Government experts estimate loss
of $45.OOOOOO every year from bad
eggs. This loss can be prevented by
better handling and marketing.
- Loss From Shrinkage.
Five per cent of the eggs in the
United States are lost through shrink
age. The shell Of an egg is porous. It
is made this way so the developing
chick can get air during the incubation
period.
Seventy -four per cent Of an egg is
water. Whenever an egg is in tenn
.perature above freezing, this water is

INSIST ON FREQUENT CHANGE
Winter Asserts Women Are to Blame
for the Variations of Styles
in Clothes.

Women want something new to wear
every few months. The absolute
truth of this statement is what puts
the world Of women against reformers.
1t is easy to read and write reams OF
theories as to why women should not
indulge in the caprice Of new
clothes; and, with delightful Ingenious
ness, these dress reformers put the
blame on the style-makers and shops,
ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the
women.
Those who are sincere and those
who are insincere but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places, do not go far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed of her privilege Of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
ever it is possible? What healthy
minded woman would want to go
through life wearing the same gown.
cut on the same lines and preserved,
or copied, from season to season?
Mary Garden, the opera singer, an
swered this whole question once in an
interview on the deck of steamer,
when she was sailing for Paris. It
was at the height of the great hubbub
concerning the question of American
clothes only.

gangplank. when, in your opinion,
will American women wear American

Record of Eighteen Ohio Farm FIocks.
Two years ago the Ohio experiment
station made study Of the profits in
farm poultry. Records of 18 typical
farm f1ocks were carefully kept.
These flocks ranged in number from
Sc 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 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 flock.
The best five focks yielded respect
lively $247, $154, $153, $1O7 and. $1O4
per hundred hens, while the poorest
five fiocks yielded $67, $66, $63, $62 and
SIS respectively. In no case was there
loss. The average profit per hundred
hens Of the 18 flocks was $87.
Poultry Profits.
One hundred hens are worth hum
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 a profit
of $33. Which would you rather do
milk two or three cows or take care of
a hundred hens?
Most of us fail to realize that poul-
try is pro6table-the wife pays the
grocery bills and every now and then
gets new piece of furniture or new
dress with the "chicken money" But
probably not one farmer in thousand
could tell just how much his chickens
are paying.
You probably have about hundred
hens-that's the average size of the
farm flocks in the United States. How
much profit are they producing? Ara
they above the average or below? Arg
you getting $247 or SIS?
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-

POULTRY AND EGG CROP

Almost every farmer keeps some
poultry. The trouble is he doesn't
make the poultry keep him. Too many
of them are ROSTERS. 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 low price for the
eggs.
The average farmer considers poul-
try raising "side ISSUE" job for
women and Children 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 $6O0,OO0,O00 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 it's 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 a 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 a 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 $3.50, 100000
to be distributed in the South through
the medium of the federal reserve
banks. If these one-crop states had
reckoned with the farm hen they
would have saved themselves the hui
initiation of asking Uncle Sam for help.

$15,O0O,O0O Annual Loss.
Fertile eggs cause a great loss-a
loss estimated by the government ex-
perts at $15,OOO,OOO 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 abb
so1utely fresh when 1t 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 pam
tries. Some were put in nests, some
under laying hens and some under sit
ting hens. The same number of fertile
and infertile eggs were always put I'M
der exactly the same conditions. In
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
IA per cent of the fertile ones were
spoiled as compared with 9 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 Onesa 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 it
is for people. IF you have an open
front or q partly open front poultry
house you need not worry about the
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.

We will take Arkansas to illustrate the
point.
The average county in Arkansas con-
tains about 5000 farms. If on each
farm there had been 100 hens, each
laying through the year eight dozen
eggs. only about quarter Of an egg a
day, aGa tisc aggs had sold for 20 cents
dozen, the income per farm would
have amounted to $3.50. At this rate
the 1900 farms in each county would
have produced $480,O0O. Based on these
figures, the state Of Arkansas with her
"a counties, would have produced near
ly a 35,OOO,OOO-d egg crop. This
sum is far in 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,O00,O00 distributed among
the banks Of Arkansas would have re-
lieved one of the most critical periods
in the economic history Of the state.
The earning power Of the hen exceeds
that of all other farm animaIs-the
dairy COW not excepted.
Profit in Poultry.
Let us not overlook this opportunity.
Any farmer can have poultry. He can
make more clear profit out of poultry
than the commercial poultryman can
make.
First, the care of poultry fits well into
the other farm work the investment is
small feed is cheap; the chickens con-
vert the waste products of the farm
into profits. During the greater part
