'0-HEN EGG FACTORY
AS BACKYARD VENTURE.

The Illustration above shows
an intensive backyard poultry
plant which is making a very inn
portant food contribution to a
nation that needs more eggs and
poultry flesh. Practically the en-
) tire backyard is occupied by
houses and covered runs and
; about 20 hens are carried. Each
. house is 6 by II feet and is divid-
ed into pens with a covered
. yard Of the same size. There
are about 10 hens to pen. The
. houses are raised from the
ground so that the hens can run
. under them and the soil in the
runs is renewed four times a
: year. A flock of Is hens in one
of these pens laid 2,163 eggs in a
: year. Oats are sprouted for
/ green feed in the cellar of the
+ dwelling house of the owner.
]. Chicks, too, are raised in this
I basement.

Treat Before Thawinq.

When first frozen the comb and wat
ties retain their normal color, except
for a slight Wilderness of the skin of
tire frozen parts. After the affected
parts thaw out they turn dark in color,
and there is more or less Inflammation
in them and the adjacent parts. Treat
ment is most beneficial if first applied
before the frozen parts begin to thaw.
At this stage the best treatment is to
rub with cold vaseline or lard, manipu-
lating gently with the fingers to draw
the frost gradually and restore circu-
iation. When the frost is out anoint
the parts with a mixture OF table
spoOnfuls vaseline. . tablespoonfuls
glycerfne. 1 tablespoonful turpentine.
Apply this two or three times day,
+. keeping the bird in a cool (not cold)
place. If the frostbite is not noticed
until thawing has occurred, omit the
first rubbing

The thin wattles of males are most
susceptible, especially when they are
wet as the bird drinks. In severe cold
weather it is best not to give males ac-
cess to open drinking vessels except
during the warmer hours of the day.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES
WERE WELL ATTENDED

The people of Tarpon Springs GER
tainly proved yesterday that every
thing has not gone to the "bow-wows. 7
There are still left few who are the
seed of the faithful, and who know
how to take hold of the promises Of
God. The services were all well at
tended, even the early morning call
to prayer began in full vigor, led by
DR.. Albaugh, in the absence of Rev.
G. H Northrop. The numbers kept
increasing at all the services until at
night there was an overflow audience,
and Rev. A. M. Dagger went over the
top" with a great message. We sure
ly had q good day, because we re-
sponded to the call of our leader, we
heard the message from the church
we are going to respond, and wait
with patience while we work for the
answer of God to our prayers.

About twenty men in Louisville alone
are said to have become wealthy as a
result of an advance of approximately
$3.50 per gallon in whiskey prices
since September / of last year.
One man, long identified with the
whiskey business, said that whiskey
owners and dealers who have held
supplies have made money so fast that
they hardly know what to do with it.
One of them, he said, has made ar
rangements to provide annuities for
certain of his older employees.
Retailers say the consumer must set
/ tie the bill and that the over-the- bar
customers are not only paying more
in cash in many cities, but are getting
less for their money.
One Louisville plant had 10000 bar
rels when prices began soaring. If the
lowners have retained it they will real
ize profit of about $3,525, 900. An
Eother distiller is reported to have 50,-
900 barrels, which at present prices
would yield him S5,S75,O0O, and sever
| al other dealers have quantities which
would net them several millions of
dollars each.
The report of the internal revenue
department shows that there were in
bond in the United States on July 81,
1917, 93,673,0 900 gallons of whiskey.
Of this total there was in Kentucky
108,S21, 723 gallons. March 1, of this
year there was in bond 178,404, 900,
98,492,000 gallons of this being in
Kentucky
Last September the price of whiskey
in bond ranged from so to 60 cents a
gallon; later in the fall it rose to 81.
