Gull Out Old Hens and Increase Egg
 Production of Flock.

Experiments carried on at the Col lege of Agriculture, University of Ar kansas, under the direction of Dean Martin Nelson show that farmers too often keep their old hens too long, and as result of this practice, the production of eggs decreases almost in proportion to the number of old birds retained. However, enough yearling or old hens should be kept to produce eggs for matching. Chicks matched from yearling or old hens are stronger and more vigorous than those matched from bullet eggs. Quite often the bullet eggs are infertile. The small eggs produce small chicks, the size of the chick being almost in proportion to the size of the egg matched. One should save about one third of the best yearling hens for breeding stock and dispose of them at the end of the second year. The trap nest is the best means of locating the good individuals.

P|G CLUB CONTEST
 FEBRUARY ] AND s
Cash and Scholarships Are To Hc Given as Prizes For Best Pig
 Club Members.

The State Boys Pig Club Show and Contest will be held at Little Rock in connection with the Livestock Meet ing and Sale on February 7. and ,. Three hundred and fifty dollars fur nished by the Swine Breeders Record | Associations of the country will be given in cash prizes and the State Bankers Association offers $l5000 scholarship in any agricultural school in the state to the best pig club mem- Der. The points to be taken into con sideration will be determined entirely by the judges. The bankers and bus mess men who have been financing the pig club members will assist d number of worthy boys by furnishing the express charges on their pigs to Little Rock. MT. H. K. Sanders, in charge of the pig club work of the state, says that the county agents are cooperating in every way to assure ! the success of the pig club contest and that at least 50 good pure bred pigs have already been pledged for | the Little Rock show
 Every boy who has a pure bred pig which he wishes to enter in the con- | test should get in touch with his coun- 1 ty agent as soon as possible so that there will be no difficulty or disap- | pointments experienced by these 1 young farmers at the last moment. 1 Fathers are urged to write to Dr. R. M. Cow, secretary of the Arkansas Livestock Growers Association, who has promised to take care of all pigs after they reach Little Rock The force with the State Serum Plant have agreed to assist Dr. Cow in bringing the pigs from the depot and in seeing that they are cared for dur ing the show. They have also agreed to vaccinate with serum alone any exhibited hogs that have not been inn munized from cholera. This leaves only the express charges from the county from which the pigs come to be paid by the owner or by the inter- ested bankers and business men.
 ] In speaking of the contest, Dr. Cow gays: "The first annual pig show and contest in Little Rock should be of interest and value to all of the farm CTS of the state. We want at least one good pure bred pig from each of the pure breeds represented in every county in the state on exhibit. We will not limit a single individual to one entry and anyone who has moro than one breed of pigs can enter pig for each breed of hogs owned. The exhibit of the pigs owned by the Pig Club boys of the state should not only attract a great deal of attention, but these pigs along with the pigs ex- hib1ted by adult hog breeders of the state should furnish an excellent op. portunity for farmers who are inter- ested in pure bred livestock to study types and breeds at this time to ask i questions concerning the care and management of pure bred pigs and to gather a fund of information in general which should prove very bene- ficial.' In addition great many pure bred cattle representing the An. gus, Shorthorn and Hereford breeds
 will be sold during the show; how ever, these animals will be on exhibi- tion three days before the sale, con- sequently affording a good opportun-
 ity to study beef cattle also.

LET FRESH AIR HELP
LICK THE GERMANS,

Fresh air is needed IL one is to
keep in the best health. Especially
is IL needed in the sleeping room.
No one can stop breathing; IL has
TO go on all the time, showing that
the lungs must have a continuous
supply Of air and fresh air Is what
the lungs need and not foul air. IL
one should try to keep up a IRE by
feeding the air from the chimney
back into the fire he would soon see
the fire fail. The fire takes out OF
the air just the same substance that
the lungs takes out 81 the air and
puts into the exhausted air the same
things that the lungs do. When 9
blacksmith wants TO make the hre
burn faster he pumps in air and
when a person works hard he has
to breathe faster and the body be-
comes warmer. Just as the black
smith feeds fresh air INTO his IRE
so should We provide fresh air for
the lungs IL we want 10 keep the
lungs and the rest Of the body in
good health and in condition for do

Mrs. Rudd has the advantage Of
first hand knowledge of her import

herself and living there until ten or
twelve years ago. Her Russian home
was in Odessa. and ever since the
beginning Of the war. until the recent
upheaval: she has been In close
touch with conditions in Russia.
Mrs. Rudd emphasized strongly
the superstition which she cited as
taught to the people by the orthodox
Greek Catholic church Of Russia, also
the poor conditions OF the Russian
peasantry as tolerated and partly
caused by the influence which that
church had over the people, keeping
them ignorant and inundated. She
stated that many Of the crimes COM

were with the sanction of the Greek
Catholic church. as the church and
state were one. Among the crimes
thus referred to were punishments
