At this time when thousands OF

regular employment to the training

II is essential that there should be
the fullest conservation Of the man

tied up in less essential operations.
In the present emergency, the coun-

SELECTING HENS FOR LAYING
Idea That n Fowls Are Compelled to
Mott Early They viii lay in
Fall 10 Wrong.

Laying hens should be allowed to
mott naturally. The common idea that
II hens are compelled to mott early
they will quickly feather out and COM
mence laying early In the fall IL err
roncous. An early mott Is not "a sign
of early fall production. Usually the
late molting hen Is the heavier produc-
er. In fact n lack of feather growth Is
suggested by q. w. Hcrvcy OF the Uni
versity of Missouri college Of ngrlcul-
ture as n of the points to consider
when selecting hens for winter laying.
Very often show birds are forced
into u summer mott by IA restriction OF
feed. This IL done so that the birds
may be In full feather once more
for the early show season. This should
never be prncticcd with utility stock.
II will cause production to stop and
weaken the hens ut a time of the year
when full strength Is needed. II Is
unwise to change the general character
of the feed. The addition Of some oil
carrying ingredient, however, such as
sunfiower seed. will aid In the develop
ment Of new feathers.

An Aztec Grain.

At the time OF the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain. finer than mustard
seed. was made into paste for molding
into religious idols and was an impor-
tant food In those times Of scarcity Of
maize. This grain. known to the Az
tees as "huauhtli." was among the trib-
utes paid by the pueblos to Mon.
tezuma. The botanical identity Of the
seed was long unknown, but the COL
lection Of DIR. Edward Palmer In the
states Of Sineola and PallscO included
~fish-egglike seeds Of ar %anaranthus.
The plant wns found both wild and un.
der cultivation, n paste Of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name Of
"suale." DR.. w. Il. Stafford Of the
department Of agriculture has recog.
nized In these specimens the sacred
''huauhtli" of MOntezuma's time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated in favorable situations.
Closely allied plants are cultivated In
India, Tizet. South America and Al.
RIGA as grain crops.
