Average Farm Hen Producing an Az.

Returns No Profit - Three
Most Important Points.

Poultry rightly handled Is the best
paying live stock farmer can keep
with the added advantage of com
paratively small investment in build
ings and of both quick and constant
cash returns. This is not true, how
which produce no eggs in the fall and
early winter and average, according
to the last census, less than eighty
eggs each in a year. Hens so kept
pay no profit whatever if the cost OF
their food is considered.
1t is pullets that produce an average
of $50 eggs each in a year and produce
a fair proportion of those eggs in late
fall and winter, the season Of highest
prices and best profits, that are the
money makers. 1t is remarkable that
the farmers who would be most ad.
vantaged by a steady cash return from
a flock of good hens are the most neg.
lectful of this opportunity.
Good pullets which will produce an
average of $50 eggs each and pay their
owner net profit of 50 each in year
are not the common scrub hens of the
farms; they are thoroughbred pull
lets, bred and reared for egg produc
ton, and so reared that they attain
laying maturity in the first half OF
October. To the farmers who are
used to getting no eggs in the fall and
early winter this will seem an i'm
possibility but the thousands of farm
ers who are easily accomplishing il
prove the fact.
To accomplish this the three chiet
points are to have the chicks Matched
the first half of April, to keep the pull
let's steadily growing SO that theJ
reach laying maturity the first half o
October and then that they be KEEP

BOILING the Silver.

1t is good idea occasionally to fill
a large saucepan with water, lather y
little soap into it, set it on the stove
with the spoons and forks laid care
fully in it with layers of grass or
shavings or sawdust. Let it boil SLOW
ly. This removes all grease. and the
silver takes a better polish. Silver
dishes require boiling occasionally for
the same reason.
Tea and coffee may discolor the cups
and jugs. A little dry salt rubbed on
removes these stains. Water bottles
may be cleaned with white paper torn
into small pieces and shaken about in
the bottle.

RECONSIDERS INCREASE
IN FOREST GRAZING FEES

While many stockmen of this part of
the country still hold the opinion that
they are going to be obliged to pay too
much for the privilege of running their
nouncement made last week by Secre-
tary of the Interior Houston through
local forest headquarters that the in
crease will be but % per cent, will be
received with qualification. 1t had
been announced previously that gen
eral increase of 33 l-3 epr cent would
be put into effect this spring, and the
reduction is in the nature of conccs-
sion made because of many protests
made to the department. There will he
no further increase before March :.
| 1918, but in the meantime local condi-
tons will be carefully studied and sub
sequent changes in fees based in ac-
cordance with facts. as found in the
individual sections.
'The timber. grazing, water power
and other resources of the national
forests which are used for commercial
purposes should be charged for at 4
rate which represents their full value, -
said Secretary Houston. eff charge
only sufficient to cover the cost of ad
ministration were made, all of the prof
it from the commercial use of the ma
tional forests would go to n compare
lively few individuals instead of to all
the people to whom they belong and
who are entitled to share their benefits.
The charge for grazing should be based
upon the real value of the forage on
the national forest ranges, as deter
mined by careful survey of all the
/ facts and not by competitive bids, as
required in timber sales.
| Whether or not the fees charged at
present represent fair value of the
forage is question to be decided. The
facts before me clearly indicate that
the present charge does not represent
the full value of grazing privileges on
| the national forests.''
Notifications of the original plan
was decided upon, the secretary said,
because of the possibility of variation
in the real value of grazing on differ
ent forests or in different localities, and
because in few instances the full
proposed increase might not be justi-
fled. A specific study, he stated, will
be made Of the existing conditions
upon each of the national forests. Upon
the basis Of the facts thus obtained,
additional increases will be made when
the real value Of the forage upon any
forest is found to be more than tho
amount charged. No additional increase
will be made before March 1, 1918.
