Farmers. as a class. are failures as
poultry raisers, in spite Of the fact
that a large portion Of our poultry
and eggs come from the farms. On
nine out Of ten farms poultry must
either rustic or partially starve. and
often both.
great many farmers pay so little
attention to feeding their poultry be-
cause they look upon 1t as only a
side line to save waste and not as

will give for the same care In feed

SCOUTS ASK FLAG RESPECT.

The San Francisco Ad club. with the
cooperation of the San Francisco Boy
Scouts Of America. has launched a
movement to make expressions Of re-
spect to the American flag more gen
eral in that city, particularly on public
occasions.
According to President Samuel p.
johnson Of the club. some men fall
to remove their hats when the flag
passes In a public parade.
Asked by the club for assistance. the
boy scouts promised to conduct q cam
paign to ask men to don their hats
when the national banner passes. At

the boy scouts are to march In sd-
vance. distributing cards asking men
to do this reverence to the flag.

MORE EAGLE SCOUTS IN TEXAS

San Antonio now has four Eagle
scouts, and this noteworthy achieve
ment was reached when the court Of
honor completed tests that qualified
three scouts as Eagle scouts.
Lewis Kayton. who is In the first
Eagle scout In San Antonio, was pre-
sented with his badge In the summer.
The three new Eagle scouts are
Charles Henning, Fay Smith and Sell
don Nye.
The court Of honor compels each
test to be thorough in every way, and
It has taken weeks and months of hard
work for the scouts to attain this
honor.
In order to get the Eagle badge. a
scout must take 81 merit badge exam
nations and several of these take
months Of preparation. The Eagle
scouts won these honors only by the
hardest work and by deep study and

RETURN EMPTY CASES
Many Containers Are Made in
knocked Down" Style.
When Returned Postage on Those Still
In usable Condition Is Less Than
Cost OF New Ones--Consumer
Is Interested.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Many shippers will doubtless find II
desirable and economical to have the
customer save the containers and re-
turn them after a sufficient number
have accumulated. When so returned
the postage In empty cases still in us
able condition is less than the cost of
new ones. The customer should re-
ceive credit for the postage required
to return them. Many of the contain
ers are made In "knocked-dOwn" style,
1. e.. to take apart and fold so they
can be made into a much smaller pack
age or parcel. Containers which are
knocked down to be returned should
be packed On such way that there
will be no edges or points projecting
without support or protection. as such
projections are likely to be broken or
crushed In the mails.
The cost of the container Is neces-
sarily included In the price of the eggs
to the consumer. 1t Is therefore to
the interest of the consumer to take
proper care Of containers and to save
for return all that are In disable con-
dition. Since the return Of containers
will have some effect on the price Of
the eggs, the proper spirit Of thrift
should cause the consumer to take care
Of all returnable empties and to send
them back In accordance with what
ever agreement or understanding may
exist between the producer and him.

The successful use of the parcel
post for marketing eggs imposes the
need Of great care on the producer.
Only such eggs should be shipped as
are produced by healthy fowls kept
under proper sanitary conditions and
supplied with sound, wholesome feed.
II possible, only noD-fertile eggs
should be produced for market; fertile
eggs deterlorate rapidly and are the
cause Of much loss. A broody hen on
the nest, or exposure TO temperature
from other sources sufficient TO start
incubation, causes all such eggs TO be
rejected when they are candled. Eggs
should be cared for carefully, begin
ming with keeping the fowls under
such conditions that the eggs viii not
be soiled in the nest by mud from the
feet Of the hens or otherwise; they
should be gathered at least once day
(twice would be better), and should be
stored In a well-ventilated place, which
must be kept as cool as possible.
Eggs intended for high-class trade
should never be washed, as washing
removes the natural mucllaginous
coating Of the egg and opens the pores
Of the shell. Eggs which are soiled
should be kept for home use or dis
posed Of otherwise than to a parcel
