INCREASE OF POULTRY URGED
Demand Can Be Met Most Effectively
by Introduction Of Better Stock
and Methods.

Rrom the United States Department Of
A~grlcuiture.)
An appeal to poultry raisers to Inc
crease their production Of poultry,
meat, and eggs has been issued by the
American Association of Instructors
and Investigators in Poultry Hus-
bandry, which met recently at Ann
herst, Mass. These poultry experts, in
a resolution, state that there will be
an unprecedented demand for breed
ing stock and poultry products, which
can be met most effectively by the in-
PRODUCTION of approved methods and
better stock and management In each
flock.
The association urges particular own
ers Of flocks not to sacrifice valuable
chickens simply because feed has be-
come abnormally high in price. They
point out that such a PRACTICE will
tend to reduce the supply of breeding
stock and lead to serious reduction in
output.
The members of the association,
who are the experts in poultry hus-
bandry from the several state agricul-
tural colleges and the United States
department Of agriculture, stand ready
to help all poultry producers to get
maximum results.

Nothing is much more dismal than a
leaky hen house on a rainy day; the
hens huddle in the light spots; the

Camp droppings permeates the air.
After a few days of such weather
comes the slckly smell of roup, and
the thought of getting eggs for eating

flOOred house, and scatter well-slaked
lime in the damp places. Be sure that
no Jumps Of lime remain. When the
house is patched, the windows cleaned,
and the floor renewed, the chickens
become more alert; cheerful singing
accompanies the busy scratching to

to be shipped whether the feathers
should be removed. 2
Removing Feathers,
If the guinea fowls are to be mar.
keted with the feathers on, all that
should be lone is to bleed them by
severing the vein in the roof Of the
mouth, allowing them to hang head
downward until bleeding is complete.
If the feathers are to be removed, this
should be done by dry picking. The
vein in the roof of the mouth is severed
first, to insure thorough bleeding, and
the knife then thrust through the
groove in the roof Of the mouth into
the brain. When the brain is pierced
the feathers are loOsened by a convul-
sive movement of the muscles and can
be removed easily.

It pays handsomely to fatten pOul-

envy, New York, bought a few small
chickens for 81 cents each, fed them
IS cents worth of milk and mash and
sold them three weeks later for $1.19

Hawaii Advertised By Newspaper
Progress

The Star Bulletins Anniversary and Progress
Number and the Advertisers Automobile Edition
last Saturday constituted the largest newspaper
output ever published in one day in Hawaii Each
paper printed 10000 copies. The Star Bulletin was
virtually sold out in advance and at the rate of sale
since Saturday afternoon the edition will shortly
be exhausted. Many hundred copies Of each paper
are being mailed out of the territory Looking over
the orders for mailing out the Star Bulletin num-
Der, one is deeply impressed with the wide adver-
Using which Hawaii will get throughout the states
and in Europe.
The anniversary edition Of this paper celebrating
its fifth birthday and the general progress of Homo
lulu as well, carried the largest volume of paid ad
vertsing ever assembled in one regular issue of an
Hawaiian daily. 1t also set new record in the
number Of full-page advertisements.
Perhaps the most striking feature of both editions
was the recognition that the Saturday newspaper
s one of the biggest advertising powers in the terri
torial business field. Due to steamer schedules the
Saturday paper covers the Hawaiian group better
than an Issue on any other day, and the Saturday
afternoon issue with it's advantage Of more than
u hours later news gathering, naturally commands
the situation from an advertising and circulation
standpoint. - =

their ambitions M - .=@".> =. -
The navy publicity Office also is attempting to
encourage the development Of the Italian merchant
marine, showing that country almost surrounded
by the sea should extend her seafaring interests.

managing editor has staff Of q dozen newspaper
writer's who make it their business to travel with
different naval vessels visit scenes Of disaster re-
port battles and submarine captures and write spe-
