PROFIT IN POULTRY.
Farm FIocks Can Be Increased Without
Much Added Expense.

Increased attention given to the poul-
try industry will prove one of the
country's greatest defcnscs against food
shortage, declare the pOultrymen at
Iowa State college. Poultry can be
kept prottably on practically every
farm and on many town ana city lots,
they say. They can be more quickly
increased than any other important
class of farm animals without increased
use of valuable foodstulfs. for they utl-
lie wastes.
Adding a hundred hens to every farm
flock would involve no extra labor and
would be profitable move for every
farmer Then the adoption of better
poultry practices with flocks on hand
will tremendously increase the coun-
try's supply of poultry products and
the profits of those who adopt then.
Early Matched stock will undoubtedly
lay more eggs next winter than late
Matched, for well matured pullets make
the best layers. These eggs will proba-
bly, bring the highest price ever real

much to overcome the handicap of late

ARMY ADMITS "BANTAMS."
Ranks Opened to Men Five Feet One
Inch Tall and Weighing ITO Pounds.

Small men make as good soldiers as
big men In the revised opinion of the
war department. which has instructed
recruiting stations TO open the ranks
Of the regular army TO men who are
no more than five feet one inch In
height and weigh only 10 pounds.
The order was issued on the basis
OF a recommendation made by Surgeon
General Gorgas, who advised that
good men were being kept out by the
minimum height and weight limit OF
five feet four inches and 100 pounds.
As matter of fact, however, re-
cruiting officers had been Instructed
not to enforce rigidly the height and
weight minimum limits, and there are
a considerable number now in the
army who are below the five feet four
requirement.
The new orders will have "A wide
effect IN national guard recruiting and
probably In selections for the national
army. Regular army standards gov
ern both services In general way.

Late Matched Chicks.

Although the Matching season proper
should be considered at an end by May
/, 1t may be feasible in some sections
Of the northern and northwestern part
of this country to continue Matching
until July. Chicks hatched at that
time, with proper feed and manage
ment, will frequently begin laying In
January of the following year. The
maturity Of fowls Matched late can be
greatly increased IL the mother hens
are confined until the chicks are wean-
ed. In this way feed that is furnished

energy to follow the mother.

DRYING VEGETABLES.
How to Preserve Them Successfully
by New Method.

TOW 10 TTeSeTVo nefn successfully
by New Method.
Mrs. III. b. Fullerton and Mrs. Nellie
f. Snyder. two experts on canning and
preserving, have prepared the follow
ing formula for drying fruits, vege-
tables and other food products:
Begin the temperature for small
fruits and corn low, at 100, and gradu-
ally increase to 175, being careful not
to burn. For all other fruits and vege-
tables start at IT'S, work downward and
close at 100.
In average climates eight to twelve
hours will be required, but where the
moisture is great or much dampness
prevails longer time will be required
for drying. Usually 1t takes from eight
to ten hours to dry perfectly. Then the
products should be thrown together,
away from the heat, and stirred Occa-
sionally to go through sweat, so to
speak, and then placed in paper cartons
and kept in dry place.
Here are directions for caring for in
cubators:
After the Matching season is over for
chickens do not let incubators remain
idle, but make extra trays, have the
doors partly open and use them as dry
ers.
Sun drying can be done in the old
fashioned way, but will take from three
to five days longer in ordinary climates

Evans had Just one regret and that
was that Fisher wasn't larger. Fisher
claims to weigh 1875 pounds. Evans
thot the champion would be a little
heavier than that while he placed his
own weight at 14S.
Fisher is nothing daunted by the
difference in weight. OF the more

twelve years he has been In the busi-
ness, not fifty have been with oppo-
nents OF his own weight, the others be-
Ing welterweights or middleweights.
Unlike the heavyweight wrestlers
who have specialized on certain holds.
neither Evans nor Fisher place de-
pendence in any particular form OF
