present season strongly urging the
farmers to feed their hens this win

The old saying that n hen must be

hen must be in good physical condi-
ton to lay. The farmers flocks are
usually Rarred Rocks, white Wyan-
dottes or Rhode Island Reds and all
old hens of these varieties have n

egg production is concerned. during
this period.

on too much fat begins and The thing
to do IS TO first weed out and market
all broken down hens or fluffy plum

The test is to keep birds of all varie-

Canning OF POnltry.

Good business management requires
that the improbable birds he culled
out of every poultry flock at this time
of feed many persons wish to reduce
the poultry flock more ;han usual this
year. According to statistical reports
there is shortage of human food in
our country. IT Is believed that this
condition and the shipping of large
quantities of food abroad will causc
food prices to soar very high during
the winter. The home economics de-
partment OF the New Jersey State Ag-
ricultura1 College, therefore, advises
the canning of this surplus poultry in
stead of selling it, as the prevailing
practice had been in former years.
Chicken may be canned by partially
cooking 1t before sterilizing It in the
jar. but the flavor Is superior II ~ Is
packed into the jar In ths raw state
and then Sterilized. The following
recipe for canning chicken is given by
the home economies department:
Kill fowl and draw at once; wash
carefully and cool: cut into convenient
sections and pack in sterilized jars; fill
jar to overflowing with boiling water;
add level teaspoon Of salt to the quart.
Place the rubber and lid. partially seal
and cook in boiling water four hohrs.
Remove jars, tighten covers. Store In
n ccol place.
Chicken canned by This method will
be Just as palatable next January and
February as the freshly-killed poultry.

PROTEST
VALUES
ON LAND

Attorneys for the county ran
into their biggest battle In the
Camp Lewis condemnation suit
Friday when they began for the
first time to introduce testimony
to show the total value of the
properties appraised.
Heretofore during the case var
ious county appraisers who went
over the different features of the
property. such as buildings, inn
provements. soil and timber. have
been called to the stand to de-
scribe their appraisals.
Friday morning when ]. G..
Taylor was summoned to give the
lump figures showing the basic
values OF the property. attorneys
for the defendants nearly mobbed
Judge Clifford, objecting to the
county's method of procedure.
They argued that Taylor, in
giving estimated totals of the
amount the property owners
should receive, had no right to
refresh his memory from docu-
ment prepared after consultation
between the various appraisers.
when they combined their figures
to make up total.
They complained that such
testimony would come from each
one OF the appraisers, and not
from the witness on the stand.
The Judge held that the only
way Taylor could possibly give
figures on the totals would be to
refer to the separate figures ar
rived at by all the other apprais-
ers.
