What 100 Fowls on Every Farm in United States Would Mean to Ma tion's Food Stock-War

(Prepared by the United States Depart

 There should be 100 hens on every farm in the United States. We should obtain 100 eggs from every hen. With approximately 6000,000 farms that would mean 600,000,000 hens and 60,- 000,000,000 eggs per year. That mum Der of eggs constitutes a military re- source not to be ignored.
 One hundred hens on every farm is not particularly big contract. There is hardly q farm in the United States but could support that number of hens practically on its waste materials and without materially added cost. One hundred hens to farm is considerably less than the average number of hens to farm In many of the better poul- try-producing sections of the country. It is an average that could as easily be maintained in the sections of the country where the average per farm is now lower than 100 hens. One hun

GOOD MAINTENANCE OF EWES
Siage Rouehage Alone Is Dangerous Feed for Pregnant Animals-Give
 Some Grain.

Sheep feeding experiments, with spe- cial reference to the maintenance of breeding ewes. have been conducted by the Pennsylvania State college for four years. These experiments have shown that silage as a sole roughage is a dangerous feed for pregnant ewes. A combination of corn sllage and alfalfa hay proves very efficient in vigor of lambs produced and the cost of pro- duction. In the experiment grain mixture consisting of five parts she'll cd corn, three parts oats. three parts wheat bran and one part oilmeal, was fed to breeding animals during the winter with good results.

MAYOR TAKES sco0T OATH.

An event of unique interest was the taking of the oath of the Boy Scouts of America by Mayor Hunter, of Terre Haute, Ind, as part of his inaugura- tion ceremony. It is undoubtedly the first time this has been done in the history of scouting in the United States.
 This will mean more than q mere curious distinction for Tsrre Haute. It Is a part of the heralding to the whole land that Terre Haute has shak- en off its old mantle. The principles of the scouts are universally recog- nized, and the fact that the incoming mayor of Terre Haute has pledged himself officially to these principles speaks significantly to the world of what Is to be expected of Terre Haute from now on.
 As soon as the applause subsided q scout stepped forward and presented Mayor Hunter with a reproduction of the Mckenzie statue of a boy scout as a reminder that the boy scouts of Terre Ilaute were always ready at the mayors service fin his efforts for new and better Terre Haute.

 estates are called upon to help by digging out and destroying this spread CT of stem rust.
 How serious the black rust is to the bread supply of the nation may be judged from the fact that this disease was the principal factor in reducing the yield of wheat alone in North Da- kOta, South Dakota, Montana and Min nesota by nearly 200,000,000 bushels in 1916.
 . The common burberry bush Ser heris vulgaris), including the purple leaved variety, nurses the black stem rust through one of its stages, helps It develop, and enables it to spread to the grains in the spring and early summer. The most direct method of attacking this rust is to keep common barberry bushes out of wheat growing regions.
 The effect of single barberry bush may extend for miles. They should be dug and destroyed throughout the upper Mississippi valley, especially in the following states: Montana, Wyo- ming, Nebraska, South Dakota North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
