Euu Production Depeads Largely
on Method Of Feeding.
Where Forcing System IS Employed
Hens Are Kept Confined In Small
Yard and Given Only Egg.
Producing Ration.

The age at which a hen is most prof
table for egg production depends
largely on the method Of feeding and
the purpose for which the bird is kept
in the opinion of N. L. HArris, super
Intendent of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
If the object is heavy egg produc'
ton, without expectation Of using the
bird for future breeder the forcing
method Is adopted. By this method
the hens are kept in a small yard or
house, and are given a ration which is
high in reproducing elements. By
this method the reproductive system is
worked to its highest capacity. 1t is
seldom that a bird will be able to
stand up under such feeding condi'
lions for more than one season. This
system Of forcing is followed by large
commercial egg plants, the object be-
ing to get the greatest possible income
from the hens in the shortest time.
The forcing habit has given rise to
the statement that the pellet year is
the most profitable of the life of the
hen. As the great majority Of hens
F, are kept on the general farms, where
the production Of eggs is merely a side
line, forced feeding Is not practical
the general plan being to allow the
hens free range, and feeding them so
as to produce only the normal amount
Of eggs. Cared for In this way, hens
Of the small egg breeds will produce
nearly, but not quite, as many eggs
the second season as the first. Those
breeds which have a tendency to put
on fat readily usually become unprof'
table the second year.
Hens that are to be kept as breed
erS should never be given highly con-
cenrated feeds. II this should be the

DON'T CROWD POULTRY HOUSE
Allow From Two to Four Square Feet
Of Floor Space for Each Bird
Of Small Varieties.

Do not crowd the poultry house
From two to five square feet of floor
space per bird should be allowed. The
exact ratio should depend upon the
breed and the extent of the yarding.
AS a rule 1t will be found advisable
to allow about four square feet for
the lighter breeds, such as the Leg
horns.

special service, and there are over
1000 such associations in this coun-

Under normal conditions the an

department amounts to $S50,000. A
special war budget has been raised
for our war with Germany. The de-

American soldiers we're there.
The mobilization plans include be-

can find it at Y. M. G. A. hut. And
there are 429 Y. M. c. A. huts in
France alone.
A Y. N. c. A. hut is normally a
frame structure Of one or two rooms
which serve for almost anything from
cafeteria to dormitory. But in its
variations the Y. M. C. A. hut takes
strange forms. Sometimes it is a
ruined barn. Sometimes an old mo-

Getting closer to the firing line,
you find the Y. M. G. A. established
in cellars and dug-outs. There are

This instruction will deal with the
intellectual, physical, hygienic and

probable that when the soldiers are
stationed at any particular point for
a considerable period Of time indus
trial and general educational classes
will be organized.
But chief among the elements OF
education will be the physical and
moral training for military prepared

kind Of preparation and it has the
hearty endorsement OF this phase OF
its work from the chief officials in
the army and navy. 1t is believed by
the association that only as a soldier

be ready for the most effective SER
