BREEDS FOR BACKYARD FLocKs

For the family that wishes to keep
poultry for home consumption rather
than for the market, the sO-called gen.
eral purpose breeds are better suited
than what are known as the egg-lay-
ing breeds. Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orp-
ingtons are all good varieties for the
average person who does not intend to
60 into the poultry business on con-
siderable scale. These breeds are
good layers and they also make good
table poultry. Furthermore, they will
hatch their own eggs and brood their
own chickens, whereas the LeghOrns
and other breeds of the egg-laying
class do not sit, and the use of expen-
i've incubators and brooders Is neces-
sary in order to perpetuate these
fiocks.

tensive backyard poultry plant which
is making very important food con-
tribution to Nation that needs more

IA feet and is divided into 2 pens
with covered yard of the same size.
There are about Is 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 13 hens in
one Of these pens laid 2,163 eggs in
year. Oats are sprouted for green

Feast of chanukah.

Beginning with this (Thursday) evening, Nov. 2s, the Festival of Chanukah, which means rededieation will be celebrated in Jewish homes throughout the world. After the lapse of almost 2.0o0 years the Jews still celebrate the defeat of the great army of Antieehus, the madman, who in- vaded Palestine to spread the spurious Kuitur of Syria. This much heralded Kuitur consisted of the worship of the statue of Jupiter. practice that offended the intelligence of the Jews, and the indulgence in baeehanalian orgies that disgusted the moral sensi- bilities of the stern old Puritans of Judea.
 A curious feature of the present day festival is found in the practice of lighting one candle on the first even ing, two on the second, three on the third, etc, until the eighth day is reached. This is based upon an incl dent in the capture of Jerusalem re- lating to a legendary cruse of oil that ordinarily lasted but for one day but on this occasion miraeulousiy burned for eight days until the supply could be renewed.
