Win the War With Wings

Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.
In 1908 the Wright brothers were
bobbing along the North Carolina
coast like sandpipers, trying to fly,
and folks said it was old Darius Green
and his flying machine over again.
Two years later the first long-distance
air flight was successfully made at
Dayton, o. Today there is a demand
for 100000 airplanes to be produced by
the United States to conquer Germany
by land and by sea and the Wright
aircrafts are to help do it. A bill has
been introduced in Congress for the
establishment of department of
aeronautics, with cabinet officer at

When war conditions started grain
yard pouItrymen were frightened and
began disposing of their focks, think
ing that profits were impossible with
the soaring price of feed. This brought
about an over supply of poultry on the
markets, consequently prices were
made even lower than usual The Sc

The backyard poultryman and the
owner of the farm flock are today in
better. condition for the economical
production of poultry than the big COM
mercial poultry farm because they are
working under conditions that allow
of many real economics. Economy must
be made the keynote of today's poultry
management If we are to succeed in
making a profit, but the poultry raiser
must not deceive himself as to what
constitutes real economy
Reducing the flock Of layers or cut
ting down the number of young stock
raised this season is not a real econo-
my, because it only reduces the chances
for profit, and really gains nothing. The
trouble with most poultry raisers is

ECONOMICAL FEEDING

The next thing in line of real econ
omy is the feeding of the flock. Here
is where the backyard poultryman and
owner of the farm flock have a great
advantage over the big commercial
poultry farm.
First of all. let us discuss the pos
sibilities of the backyard flock. There
are few families who could not keep
from six to dozen hens upon the
table waste of the house. OF course,
this necessitates the careful saving oil
all kitchen waste. but surely 1T is
worth while when we consider that a
backyard flock of such size as the av-
erage households kitchen scraps would
maintain will supply that family with
their eggs and poultry at little cost
beyond the labor of saving the mate
rial. With such a flock some little
grain would. of course. be necessary
to add variety to the ration, but this
need only be a small amount.
In growing poultry products fol-
market the owner of the farm flock
really has the greatest chance of max
ing a profit. During the summer
months the farm flock If allowed free
range can pick up at least so pei
cent of their own living from off the
farm. and when it comes to winter
feeding the farmer again has the ad-

and one that can make or break the
poultryman. If the pullets are to prove
worth while as winter layers they
must be from such matches and have
such care as will bring them to the
age of laying by October. .Pullets that
weigh around two pounds by October
should be disposed of as broilers, for
the poultryman can be sure that such
small stock will not lay until spring.

The Biggest Locomotive


From the Popular Science Monthly
The greatest steam locomotive in the
wrold has been put into service by the
Baldwin Locomotive works. 1t is 50
gigantic that it's boiler had to be
made flexible at three different joints
so that the locomotive could turn
around a curve! 1t is over 100 feet
long and weighs some 420 tons. TWEEN
ty-four driving wheels. each standing
as high as an average size man, afford
it traction. The driving wheels are
distributed along the length of the
locomotive in sets of four pairs, the
wheels of each set being coupled to-
gether and driven by two giant steam
cylinders. Under full steam the loco
motive can exert an S3-ton pull on
the cars behind (which means that
it can easily haul freight train two
miles long and $4,000 tons in weight

average speed of Ia miles an hour and
possibly more Bad roads will retard it
