HATCH CnlCkENS EARLY
FREsR EG0s WILL BIZ SCARCE NEXT
FALL. AND wINrER-REMHDY
IS IN HANDS OF THE
POULTRY NAN.

Did it ever occur to you that
nature requires her children to
take an annual vacation? She
does, and nowhere do human be-
ings puzzle their brains over this
fact more then when the hens
begin their yearly holidays. This
vacation is technically called the
melting season. It being
during the late summer. The
mems stop laying, aud change
their suits of feathers for new
ones. Usually they consume
three or four months in the pro-
cess. Most of us know this per-
fectly we'll, but are apt to over
look the fact that a very impor-
tant feature of the moltiug period
is that egg laying stops. We
are unreasonable and expect the
hens to lay all the time. When
the hens take this vacation new.
, laid fresh eggs are scarce and
remain scarce until the pullets
Matched during the preceding
spring begin to lay.
THE REMEDY.
The remedy is very simple
and is under the control of tn,
poultry man. The first step i.
= to have chickens hatched early
so that the pullets begin to lay
when the hens begin to mott
This is not difficult. Pullets o
the American breeds begin lay
ing at about months OF age
,lLeghorn pullets begin whe1
about 6 months old. North o
;. the Ohio River this means tina
all Matching must be over b,
may l at the latest. The bes
plan is to have the chickens com
ing at intervals during Marc
and April. The earliest hatche
pullets will, ofcourse, begin t
= lay first. If any of them begi
:, to mott, their places will be take
e by the later ones and a stead
supply of eggs will be NOR
certaiu.
Il THE DIFFICULTY.
The difficulty, in the way OF til
practical application of thi
j. matter is that so many poultr
b. keepers are dependent on her
% for Matching. AS long as "
t. have late Matched chickens W
Is will have late sitters. The pou
,e try keeper who wants to chang
from late Matching to earl
Matching must therefore eitht
lie get broody hens from some or
Of else or use an incubator. Afts
~ he has changed the dates" O
IS his flock he will have no troubl,
At especially with the America
D. breeds.
CAN'T BE DONE d?
Every progressive poultr
!" raiser who has tried it, ever
> agricultural college and til
Government, have data shewin
that early Matching will produe
fall and winter layers. In til
Government flock during til
fpast winter the pullets of til
entire flock averaged over 20 pe
: cent in egg production, and som
pens made IS per cent. Tha
: means. in plain language, tina
the egg production for all tn
lpullets was one egg daily 70
every five hens, ard for som
lpens one egg daily for ever
three hens. This, too, whel
fresh eggs sold up to Is cent
Iper dozen in Washington. Thi
could not have been done excep
by early Matching.

treason means loyalty to patriotism
at the risk of ones life. Acts of war
treason are acts done by the inhabit-
ants of an occupied territory, on behalf
of their native country and their fell
low countrymen, for which the Ger
man military code prescribes the PEN
atty of death.
Edith Cavell and her companions
had done such acts and well knew
what awaited them If they were dis
covered. 1t was in this that their
heroism lay. But the German govern
ment knew, on its part, that whatever
1T might lay down in its military code,
the execution of Edith Cavell for what
she had done was an outrage which
would arouse the Indignation of the
civilized world. That is why, during
the whole course of her trial and to
within few hours of putting her to
death, the German authorities at Brus-
sells kept the American legation at
arms length by representations, pre-
varications and lies. When interven-
ton was no longer possible, they hast
ened to proclaim their achievement to
the population of Brussels; for, as the

affairs. Herr Zimmerman, explained
to AN American journalist, "the SER
tence had been carried out to frighten
those who might presume on their sex
to take part in enterprises punishable
with DEATH"

WHAT WE ASK FOR THE PUBLIC.

\M| intend to insist with all the vigor at our COM
That the people of southern Idaho be told whether
they can depend upon adequate supply of coal
for the coming winter.
That they be informed before it is too late to
apply protective remedies.
That if positive is given an adequate
supply will be forthcoming later in the season.
the coal be delivered at prices prevailing earlier in
the instead of at advance in price due solely
to failure to make earlier delivery.
We realize that the Oregon Short Line is now put to
severe test to meet traffic demands and to store
sufficient coal to insure the running of it's trains in the
event OF any disaster on the line But query this
After those requirements have been reasonably
accommodated will the public get coal at price not
in of that fixed for summer storage-the time
when it should be shipped but for the unusual cond
tons to which we have made references
If such assurance shall be given, then the public will
be satisfied to wait.
There some things with which the people can dis
pense but they cannot get along without food and fuel
To summarize, here is what ask on behalf of the
people of southern idaho:
That, in view of the fact coal is plentiful at the
mines, the Oregon Short Line and the coal operators
enter into binding agreement with the people to
supply them COAL and if furnished later in the sea-
son that it will be under conditions that will not force
raise in price wholly because of the beated dev-
ery;or
That the Oregon Short Line divert cars for coal
carrying purposes without unnecessary delay to SUD-
ply southern Idaho earlier in the summer with coal
for storage purposes at prevailing storage rates; or
That the Oregon Short Line canddly tell the peo-
pie cannot give this service and tell them SOON so
protective steps can be taken before it is too late
We do not believe this is unreasonable.
