NEAT SUPPLY FROM POULTRY
imperative That Productive Stock Be
Rather Largely Increased During
Current Year.

Qrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Meat can be produced from poultry
more quickly than from any other
source. one of the necessities imposed
upon the United States by its entrance
into the world war Is to produce more
meat than it has ever produced be-
fore. This is essential not only to meet
its own gre;iter needs because Of being
on Il war basis. but also to save the
countries with which it co-opcrates in
the war from defeat through lack of
food.
Meat Is one of the most essential OF
food products. OF such meats as can
be cured and kept in compact form,
larger quantities than eve before must
be sent to the armies overseas, and the
proportion of these exports TO the to-
tai production in the United States is
likely to increase steadily and even
rapidly, as larger armed forces from
this country are sent to the lighting
front in Europe.
In order to leave available for the
forces overseas as large n proportion
as possible of the output of cured and
compact meats, 1t Is desirable that
there be n decided increase in both the
home production and the home con-
sumption of white meats such as pOul-
try. To that end it is imperative that
the productive stock on general farms
and in the back yards of the nation be
rather largely increased during the
current year. 1t has always been and
will always be true that the great bulk
Of this country's poultry is produced
not on specialized poultry farms but
in the dooryards and farm lots of the
diversified farms. Establishments de-
voting their attention exclusively to
the production Of poultry have beer
and will continue to be Of rather large
importance, but they can hardly be
looked to or any very great part of an
emergency increase I'm production suf-
flcient to constitute n noticeable factOr
in feeding the world at a That de-
mand upon the nations potential pro-
duction capacity can be met, however,
by the farmers and home makers OF
the country without any sort or strain
and with compensation in poultry
profits more than commensurate with
the outlay of money and effort.

HOUSE STANDS 800 YEARS
Fairbanks Home in Dedham, Mass,
Is Oldest Frame Building In
Country.

Boston.-The enduring strength OF
wood is evidenced in the Fairbanks
house in Dcdham, Mass, built in 1875,
and believed to he the oldest frame
house now standing In the United
States, where. some time ago, men,
bers of the Fairbanks family gathered
for a reunion from all oyer the coun.
try. The house is open as n his.
toric museum, but many builders, con.
tractors and lumber men have visited
the structure and examined 1t for
something more than a historic inter
est.
The oak tImbers used in the old
house were brought from England In
about the year>1835. They are still
solid and strong and supporting. The
bricks came at that time as ballast.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jonathan Fairbanks
came from Sowerby, Yorkshire, In
1923 and built the house In 1896.

h odds that confronted King AL
bert when the Germans undertook to
traverse his territory into France were
overwhelming. He bravely faced
them, and it was the unexpected OBJ

that delayed their advance sufficiently
to give time to the French and Eng

to stem the Hun drive o Calais and

war there Is no doubt that the kaiser

assert that Paris owes her safety in
the present war and her immunity
from siege and possible capture to
King Albert. without whose resistance
in Belgium in the beginning Of August
there would have been no battle of

the Parisians have n particularly warm

Farmers and People in Cities Should
Keep Enough Hens to Supply

(Prepared by the United States Depart

If poultry is to play the part that II
should play in feeding the nation and
winning the war. not only will the de-
ficiency created during the past year
have to be made good, but there will
have to be added something to the
average as 1t stood before the 1917 de-
pletion began. The duty and the op-
portunity falls upon general farmers
and upon families in cities and towns
who have enough backyard space
and that means much less space than
may be ordinarily considered neces-
sary-to keep enough hens to supply
their own tables with eggs.
