National Forest Enlarged.

Acting under the authority OF a
special Act of Congress approved
September 8, 1916, the President
has, on recommendation of the
Secretary of Agriculture, signed a
proclamation adding approximately
$4,000 acres to the Whitman Ma
tional Forest, Oregon. The lands
involved are situated on the divide
between the John Day, Powder, and
Burnt rivers, in east-central Oregon.
Over 1000 acres consist of timber
lands which are included in patented
entries. AS the result of suits
brought by the United States, the
patents for these entries were can
celed by the courts because they
were acquired through fraud or
mistake, and the lands were return
ed to Government ownership. The
Cancelled claims carry total estima-
ted stand of nearly 46,000,000 feet
B. NJ of timber.
Much of the other land included
in the addition is privately owned.
It consists largely of cut-over tim
berland, on which the timber growth
is rapidly reproducing. One portion
of the Act of Congress authorizing
the addition provides especially for
the exchange of Government timber
for privately owned lands in the
whitman National Forest which may
be chiefly valuable for the produc
ton of timber or the protection of
atreamfow. Several applications for
exchanges of this character have al
ready been submitted.

EARLY MATCHING BRINGS VIM
X TER EGGS.
A Simple way for Poultry Owners to
Hroft from High Prices in
Fall and Winter.

Early Matching is the secret of
winter egg production, say special
lists in the u. S. Department OF Agri-
culture. The pullet that is Matched
early natures early and is ready TO
lay eggs in the fall when the supply
is scarecest and prices highest.
Chickens that are expected to be
revenue producers for their owners
later in the year should be out of
their shells by April so at the latest.
If they are properly cared for there
after they will begin to lay eggs at
the very time that eggs are most
wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen
of the country have overlooked this
simple fact. For one thing, birds
hatched later in the spring or sum
mer are not inclined to become
broody until late the following
season and thus an Improbable
circle is formed. Each year pullets
mature too late to produce in the
fall and winter, and they sit too
ldI0 LOT IuGlI OnSpIAu6 " oO oAJ
better. The poultryman who wishes
to get really good returns from his
lock must break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier.
There is no reason why incubators
should not be filled in March and
early April and the Matching over
',efore May 1. If no incubator is
ovailable it may be possible to secure
broody hens in the neighborhood.
That they will repay the trouble and
expense necessary to obtain them, is
Indicated by results at the govern
ment poultry farm in Maryland
there it is not unusual to get a
slaily average of one egg for every
Eve hens throughout the fall and
winter, and in some pens the average
has been as high as one egg for three
birds. If anything like this per
centage could be obtained on farm
the ordinary poultry farmer would
derive real benefit from the high
rices which eggs invariably bring
eor period of several months.
