HATCH CHICKENS EARLY

1t probably has never occurred to the
average person that hens take an annual
vacation, and that they require it as
much as do children. This holiday,
with the hens, is technically called the
smolting season.. It begins during
the late summer, when the hens stop
laying, and shed their feathers which are
replaced with new ones. This process
requires from three to four months.
During this period eggs are very scarce,
and as result high in price.
There is a remedy for this, however,
and it is up to the farmer and poultry
raiser to change this unfortunate feature
of the egg market. The first step is to
have chickens Matched early, so that the
pullets begin to lay when the hens, begin
to mott. This is not difficult. Pullets
of the American breeds begin laying at
about Z months of age. 1Leghorn pullets
begin when about months old. North
of the Ohio River this means that all
Matching must be over by May 1 at the
latest. The best plan is to have the
chickens coming at intervals during
March and April. The earliest Matched
pullets will, of course, begin to lay first.
II any of them begin to mott, their
places will be taken by the later ones
and steady supply Of. eggs will be
more certain. j.. ii. ..,- RI, ~. sz.s4ys.~
The difficulty in Che way of the
practical application of, this matter is
that so many poultry keepers are Deepen
dent on hens for Matching. AS long as
we have late Matched chickens we will
have late settlers: The poultry keeper
Who wants to, change from late. hatch
ing: to-. early must therefore either get
broody hens from some one else or use. an
incubator: After he: has Changed the
dates" on his flock he will have no trouble,
especially with the American breeds. I.
Every progressive poultry raiser who
has tried it, every agricultural college
and the Government, have data showing
that early Matching will produce fall
and winter layers. In the Government
flock during the past winter the pullets
OF the entire flock averaged over 20 per
cent in egg production, and some pens
made IS per cent That means, in
plain language, that the egg production
for all the pullets was one egg daily for
every five hens, and for some pens one
egg daily for every three hens. This,
too, when fresh eggs sold up to Is cents
per dozen in Washington. This could
not have been done except by early
Matching. w. .-

WASTE NO FOODw This should
be our motto from today until the
end OF the war.
Remember mat food is wasted:
When we eat more than our bodies
need Ior growth and repair and to
supply energy Tor our work
When IOou IS burned or spoiled in
cooking
Wnen too much food is prepared
Tor a meal
When too much food is served at
4 meal
When anything edible is allowed
to go to the garbage pail or allowed
to spoil for lack Of proper handling
Wnen food is handled caeTlessly.

purchase, prepare and serve the TODD

Gent food supply. ] am going to
demonstrate thrift in my home, to
make saving, rather than wasting,
my household standard"
Then at the end of a month care

we are greatly mistaken, you will not
only be proud of what you have done,
but you never will be satisfied to go
back to the old wasteful methods.

from Europe. Twenty eight days aft CT the drawings were started the new engine was set up. This was on July 8.
 With the need for speed as an incentive, tools for building the first engine were made even before the drawing were finished, on the assump- tion that they would be correct.
 Parts of the first engine were turned out at l2 different factories, To- cated all the way from Connecticut to California. When the parts were as- sembled the adjustments was perfect and the performance of the engine was wonderfully gratifying. This in itself demonstrates the capabilities of Amer jean factories when put to the test and when thoroughly organized for emer- gency work of this sort.
 One of the chief results outlined at the beginning of the designing work was that no engineer had been per mitted to introduce construction which had not been tried out. There was no time for theorizing. The new engine is successful because it embodies the best thought of engineering experience to date. Representatives in the United States, of England. France and Italy co-operated in the development of this motor
 
 the first engine preliminary tests jus tified the government in formally ac- cepting the engine as the best aircraft engine produced in any country The final tests confirmed our faith in the new motor in every degree
 Both the flying and altitude tests of the new motor have been gratifying One test was conducted at Pikes Peak, where it performed satisfactorily at this high altitude One of the engines, in an airplane, broke the American al titude record in a recent flying test.
 While it is not deemed expedient to discuss in detail the performances and mechanics of the new motor, it may be said that standardization is a chief factor in the development of the governments motor. Cylinder pistons and every part of the motor may be produced rapidly and economically by a great many factories operating in all parts of the country"

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 12.-A riot in which it is estimated more than 1000 striking packing house employees and their sympathiZers participated, took place tonight at Armour and com pany's plant in Kansas City, Kas,, with the result that one man was fatally injured and two other were injured.
 All saloons in the packing house dis trict, fifty-three in number imme- diately were closed by the police, who finally succeeded in restoring. order. The trouble was the first of a serious nature in connection with the packing house strike. which has been in pro- gress almost week, resulting in the idleness of several thousand men.
 Tonight's disorder is said to have occurred when the crowd of strike SympathiZerS assembled before the Armour plant and began milling as six hundred of more employees who had not joined the strike came out of the gates. While the milling" was at it's height some one threw a brick which sturck Ora Wood, a switchman, fracturing his skull. Bricks then were thrown freely.
