Very few farmers practice a SyS-
tematic plan of disposing of their
fowls after they have ceased to be
productive, although it is well known
that fowls of the heavier breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to pro-
duce a profitable number of eggs at
the end of their second laying year,
and that this holds true of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorns, at the
end of their third laying year. Con-
SeQuently, if efforts were made to dis
pose of all females when their best
laying days were over, large guam
tity of poultry meat would be placed
on the market. All poorly developed
chickens should likewise be culled out
and used as meat. This way of dis
posing of Improbable fowls would al
low the farmer to feed his grain to
younger and more productive fowls.
CapOnlZing the cockerels that are
not intended for breeding purposes
Will not only increase their size but
will place more desirable poultry
meat on the market. Another prac-
widely is that of fattening all chick
ems that are to be marketed before
they leave the farm. This can be
done easily by combining the birds for
week or ten days and feeding them
good fattening ration. They will
come to market then in better cOndi-
tion and the farmer will receive Il

Increasing Poultry Supply.
The greater production of turkeys,
ducks, geese and guineas, all of which
can be profitably raised and a ready
market found in most sections, would
Increase the supply of poultry meat
considerably. The production of
ducks especially should be emphasized
at this time, because of the rapidity
with which they grow. Ducks of most
OF the meat breeds. properly fed and
managed, frequently weigh from five
TO six pounds at ten weeks of age. 1t
is estimated by pOultrymen making a
speciality of growing ducks that the
feed cost per pound Of producing duck
meat ranges from eight cents to
twelve cents, depending upon the cur
rent prices of grain and other feeds
The number of marketable eggs
can be increased by following a few
practical suggestions. Among the
most important of these are the pro-
ductiOn of the infertile egg after, the
breeding season Is over, and the
proper handling of eggs by the farmer
before sending them to market. The
infertile egg is obtained when all male
birds are removed from the flock. This |
does not decrease the number of eggs |
produced, but 1t does increase greatly |
their keeping qualities. The produc-
ton of the infertile egg and the proper |
handling and marketing of eggs by |
the producer would increase tremen-
dously the number of marketable |
eggs each year by diminishing the
quantity that are rendered unfit for
food
Cleanliness Is Essential.
The poultry house should be clean
and sanitary and the fowls free from
insect pests, thereby preventing dis
ease and mortality. 1t Is estimated

Essentials Of Song Voice.

Many good singers only think theil
songs. These fall short of the power:
they might attain. The listeners hear
the music, but they are not thrilled
Other singers have feeling, but they
fail to display will Their voices nee
essariIy lack fiber and are too soft and
sentimental. Such singing suggests
merely passive sympathy and not the
desire to help actively.
Good, honest sentiment and the ring
OF good will, implying action, are want
ed In good music. There is no appeal
in the song voice that only wills. The
voice of authority and domination is
not pleasing. The essentials Of the
song voice embrace all the singers
powers, faculties and attributes. They
include not only will. but also thought
and feeling. and that voice is lacking
which fails to combine all three Of
these ments.-Exchange.

What Makes q Car Old.

The life of the bearings of a car de
termines the usefulness of the entire
machine. A car with badly worn bear
ings is an old car, even though 1t may
have Travelled less than 10000 miles
whereas one which has seen 100000
miles of use and still has its bearings
In good condition is, comparatively
speaking, new machine.
Wear on bearings is determined by
four conditions-the load which that
bearing carries, the speed at which the
bearing surfaces move over each other,
the nature of those surfaces and their
ability to resist wear and the lubrica-
ton which these surfaces receive and
its ability to prevent the formation Of
the destructive heat of friction.
The matter of load becomes a mat
ter of size, for with given load II Is
but natural that with large surface
over which to distribute the pressure
the load on each square inch of bear
ing surface win be less. This means
that the life of bearings will, In gen.
eral, be in proportion to their size
