False Statement
About Prohibition

The organization opposed to equal
suffrage sends literature in dry coun.
ties in West Virginia which attempts
to prove that where women vote the
states invariably go wet" At the
same time this self same organization
Is sending to wet counties pretended
statistics showing that these most
versatile women always vote dry" In
both instances these facts" are wilful.
ly distorted. 1t is true that all women
do not always vote dry" But it is a
fact that In five suffrage states which
have voted one the prohibition CUES.
ton in the past IS months four Of
them have gone dry" and only one
went wet"
In 1914 California, Colorado. Wash.
ington, Oregon and Idaho submitted
the prohibition question to the voters.
In each state the women voted in
large numbers. Four Of these states
voted dry" and only one-California
stayed In the wet column. But in
the Golden State there is a most ef-
fective local option law and at the
present moment 43 per cent Of the ter.
rttory Is dry. Utah is also attacked
by these circulars for hot prohibiting
liquor. Under her local option law
% per cent OF Utah Is dry. At the
last local option election in Illinois
over 400 towns voted out liquor. The
number Of dry towns and cities in CAL

VALUE OF GREEN BONE AS A
PART OF RATION.


Green bone for poultry is fresh
bone and meat as 1t comes from the
butcher, cut up and given while 1t is
sweet. There are two methods of
obtaining green bone: one is to buy
the waste product from your butcher
and grind 1t in your own cutter; the
other ts to purchase the product
ready cut for you. Green bone is
given to balance the grain side of the
ration, to give needed variety and to
induce exercise. Many poultry rails
ers who are giving meat scraps, says
DEN. w. Sanborn, ask, "Why bother
with green bone?" It hardly takes
the place Of meat scrap, for II given
In quantities to supply the needed
protein you will be giving too much
waste fat with 1t. l would use It to
helpito maintain good health, to sup
ply something that the stock wants.
and as food that does increase
growth Of chicks and get larger num-
bersi OF eggs from the layers.
In buying bones for hens get those
OF beef In preference to mutton or
pork. Soft bones are easier to cut
than the lang fiinty ones. The bones
otLthe lshankbone the round ends of
thesknee Joint, make the best for our
purpose. In buying bones O often
get the trimmings of the meat as It
10 prepared for customers. Clear
meat Is worth more for feeding than
isltheJ fat. Often you must take lust
what Is in the box or do without any.
Algood bone cutter is essential.
II you start out with the idea OF
making the supplying Of cut green
bone as q part Of your animal food
you will like 1t better. There are
two plans Of feeding that work out
we'll in actual practice: first Is to
give all the green bone that the fowls
VIII clean up in ten minutes, giving
1t as O noon meal three times a week;
the other plan is to find out how
manySpounds Are required In q week
for this way Of feeding, and then d.
vide the amount into seven parts, one
TO be given, each day.
o~yer-feding Of green bone will
cause bowel ilooseness. Giving green
bone that has spoiled is likely to
make the birds Ill. often in a way
that points to limberneck ptomaine
poisoning. I like the plan Of feeding
three times q week, az then you pre-
pare and give the whole amount of
bone that you buy. The sooner you
give green cut bone after 1t comes
into your possession. the better for
your flock. Age adds no value to
green bonett adds danger. Green
cut bone helps to get winter eggs In

Leg weakness is more common in
brooder chicks than in chicks that

good erason we can give for this is
that chicks brooded by the hen get

should supply a deep litter of clean

Is that the players are trying to call

took its name.
By feeding large quantities of fat

bone and muscle food without any
exercise or large enough range for

LEG WEAKNESS AND SOME OF

BY ]. Gaylord Bla

Overlooking your birds and using
bad methods OF feeding is really
worse in my opinion than not feeding
enough. You a trace some very
bad troubles to improper feeding and
one especially Is leg weakness. This
Is sledom seen In old birds, but in
young chicks up to six months of age
and in the heavier breeds such as the
Asiatics, American and English
classes. Where you try to increase
the size and weight Of q bird at the
expense Of time you are bound to get
into serious trouble and leg weakness
is usually the result. When this is
done the weight Of the body is hea-
vier than the legs are able to support

HEN MUST SHOW
"FAMILY ROOST" OR
SHE GOES TO AXE

Columbus, Ohio, April ll-lt's up
to the hen to go III Tor eugenlcs. The
word has gone out from dealers that
only eggs OF a certain size, color.
shape and weight are desirable. Hens
belonging to chicken families not pro-
ducing according to these plans and
specifications are to get the axe.
"Who were your father and moth
err" Upon the hens answer to that
will depend her chance Of living. Ohio
egg experts declare the dealers will
have nothing but eggs of color pop
ular in their particular section and
uniform in size for packing purposes.
There's no difference in the taste or
food values Of the different eggs, but
the color must satisfy the the whim of
the buyers and the size must fit the
.craes.
New York won't take eggs with
brown shells, and Boston wont accept
those with white shells. The experts
have agreed that dozen eggs should
weigh not less than "a and not more
than % ounces. The egg should have
large diameter one and one-fifth
times the smaller diameter and should
not be short or round or long-pointed.
They should be uniform in color, have
strong smooth shells and be free from
cracks and transparent spots. And
the hens had better follow these rules
the experts say, or they'll certainly
be massacred.

richer today by inadvertently leaving
his office safe unlocked last night. A
burglar entered the mill office and
tried to work the combination on it
the safe but instead of opening it,
locked it. An effort was then made to
blow it open, without results.
Mr.. Hagarman, who is a bank d.

leaving the safe unlocked, with the
checks and money in it and trusted to
luck that it would not be molested.
The contents, amounting to about
$4,000 were not molested even though
the safe was considerably married.
