Poultry keepers may plan to hatch
all their pullets early, but it always
happens that a good many pullets are
not nearly grown in September, or
even by the first Of November. Obvi-
ously these will never make early
winter layers. They may make profit

WATCH THE MILK SEPARATOR
Expert of Missouri College Offers sua-
gestions on Proper Operation
Of Machine.

Is the separator running all right?
If not it should be looked after at
once. L. w. Morley Of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture Of
fers the following suggestions on OPP
Grating the separator: Be sure that
the machine is level and securely
fastened to a firm foundation. Re-
member that the speed of the separa-
tor is an important factor in it's eff
fciency. If the crank is turned too
slowly an excessive amount of fat will
be left in the skim milk. The milk
should not be allowed to enter the ma
chine until full speed is attained.
A temperature of 80 degrees Fahren-
heit is best for separation. If milk is
cold when separated there is too much
loss of fat. If the milk becomes cold
it may be warmed by placing the can
of milk in hot water. 1t is preferable,
however, to separate the milk soon
after it is drawn and before it becomes
cold.
The separator should be kept clean

be washed with warm. water and then
rinsed in scalding water, after which
they should be allowed to dry.

One of the most effective methods
adopted by food officials has been the
enlistment of women's clubs and other
civic organizations to aid in cleaning
campaigns. It is possible under the
best conditions for food inspectors to
visit any n store but a few times
each year. The members of local or
CARNATIONS and the housewives who
visit the stores daily can exert an eff
fective influence for cleanliness once
their interest is aroused and the i'm
portance of the work pointed out to
them. AS soon as the proprietor Of q
food shop realizes that his customers
will leave him unless he complies with
reasonable sanitary requirements he at
once falls in line.
Federal, State and City Cooperation.
Federal, state and city food officials
cooperate in enforcing laws applicable
to foods and drugs, and in conducting
educational campaigns for cleanliness.
At a recent meeting Of the Association
Of American Dairy, Food and Drug
Officials plans for closer cooperation
were worked out. City food officials
were admitted to membership in the
association and arrangements were
made for the organization of state
associations of food control officials and
for associations Of sectional groups Of
federal, state and city food officials
who have common conditions and COM
mon problems.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not confer authority to regulate
directly the sanitary conditions Of
stores and shops where food is put up
or sold. However, if food becomes
contaminated in an insanitary store,
or in any other manner, and is after.
ward shipped into interstate COM
merce, the party responsible for the
shipment may be prosecuted under the
federal law, and the contaminated food
may be seized.

Feeding Tests Made With Laying Hens

Scarcity of beef scrap, together with
its high price, has led poultry special
lists of the United States department
Of agriculture to conduct feeding tests
with laying hens in which cheaper and
more plentiful kinds of protein feed
r tried. In these tests feeds rich
in vegetable protein have been used in
connection with beef scrap to make up
the laying ration.
One pen of hens, fed q mash con-
tanning 20 per cent beef scrap, pro-
duced the greatest number of eggs,
but a second pen, fed a mash consist
ing of 10 per cent peanut meal and
10 per cent beef scrap, produced an
average Of only 10 eggs less during the
test period Of 5h winter months.
Washes made with soy-bean meal, cot

In combination with beef scrap, have
been fed with fairly satisfactory re-

Strange Power of Metals.

The Importance of the remarkable
surface actions that distinguish metals
generally was noted in a lecture by
Sir William Tilden at the British scien-
tiflc products exhibition. The property
of platinum of causing the combina-
ton of oxygen gas with hydrogen and
other combustible substances was dis
covered by Davy just 100 years ago,
but other metals show still stranger
powers. One of the most valuable is
the power possessed by nickel of caus-
ing hydrogen to combine with heated
oil, converting it into a fat that is
solid when cold. A substance acting
by its mere presence in this way is
termed a catalyst, and catalytic actions
are now turned to account on a large
scale in making sulphuric and nitric
acids and ammonia, in the surfa ce COM
bustipn Of gas, in obtaining fats from
whale oil and in a variety of manu-
featuring processes. A great field is
open In the study of catalytic effects.

HAPPY IN POVERTY

Educators Pathetic Story Of Mother's

fully Put Aside.

A Japanese educator tells the story
of brothers in the agricultural college
of Sapporo, in the northern island of
Hokkiado. One day one of these boys
appeared wearing a woman's yellow
and black striped padded coat, with
q velvet neckband, showing that the
garment was ordinarily worn to sup
port a baby carried Japanese fashion
on the back. There was much litter
ing among the other students at this
strange garb and the instructors found
their classes somewhat demoralized.
At noon the young man vas called into
the faculty room for an explanation.
His father was dead; his mother made
q bare subsistence out Of a small farm;
she had managed to save enough to
send her boys to school with clothes
for the summer season, and nothing
more. When winter came the mother
wrote that in vain she had tried to
ave enough extra money to buy them
the necessary winter kimono; that in
spite Of every economy she had been
unable to manage it-such was the
story.
$50 I am sending you my own XII
mono and coat" she wrote. "You must
have your thin cotton ones washed
and mended, though I know they must
be nearly worn out by this time. Wear
my heavy kimono," the boy went on.
"When I a I will send you some
money to buy new ones"
"But though I have mended my old
kimono," the boy went on, ut is too
ragged. There was only one thing
to do-wear this one on the outside"
He was asked why at least he had
not removed the telltale black velvet
band.
Last night" he replied, II took the
scissors and began to rip, but suddenly
I remembered how my mothers hands
had sewed those stitches, and how she
had taken off her warm coat to send
me, and how she was always working
for us and thinking Of us here, lonely
for the sight of our faces, and I could
not rip out the stitches of my moth
er's hands. I am sorry, sensei, but
I had to wear it as it was"
Those same boys were later invited
to live free of expense in a small DOR
mitory donated by an American lady,
Gertrude Emerson writes in Asia
Magazine. The younger boy came to
thank her, but to explain that accept
ance would be out of the question.
"My brother is very proud" he said.
"Besides, you do not understand. It

PLAN FOR POULTRY SUCCESS
Suggestions Sent Out From Washing
ton for Benefit Of Practical
Chicken Grower.

Government poultrymen are appeal
ing to the American people, both in the
country and in the cities, to increase
poultry production as much as posi-
BILE. The following nine suggestions
have been offered as a means to attain
ing this end:
1. Keep better poultry; standard.
bred poultry improves the quality and
increases production.
2. Select healthy, vigorous breeders
to produce strong chicks.
8. Hatch early to produce fall and
winter layers.
4. Preserve eggs when cheap for
home use.
s. Produce infertile eggs, except for
Matching.
6. Gull the flocks to eliminate un.
profitable producers.
Z. Keep a small backyard flock to
supply the family table.
8. Grow as much Of your poultry
feed as possible.
8. Eat more poultry and eggs to con-
serve the meat supply.

English Grown BelIadonna.

Belladonna, which before the war
came almost exclusively from Ger
many, is now being cultivated at Dork-
ing on a scale that will prevent any
possibility of dearth in the future, and
doctors, who partially discontinued it's
use, may now prescribe it as freely as
they did before the war, says the Lon
don Times. The first of the Dorking
plantations was started Immediately
after the war broke out, but the diff
Guilty OF obtaining the seed, and more
especially the slow growth Of the
plant, in the initial stages, prevented
the drug being produced in large guam
titles until this year. Next year a still
larger quantity will be placed on the
market. Practically the whole Of the
plantations are on waste ground that
could not possibly produce food. If
the seed is sown in the open, it takes
four years before sufficient herb can
be cut to make a paying crop.

The Importance Of securing the
greatest possible return from the man.
ure supply Of the country can hardly
be overestimated at any time. It is
infinitely greater when the production
of food is so vital to the nation as
during the present crisis.
In localities where leaves are OBJ
tainable at small cost as compared to
the cost Of straw, a condition which
exists in some sections, it would seem
advisable to make use Of this material
for bedding instead of straw. 1t is q
well-known practice in the wooded Sec
lions Of the South to use leaves for
bedding. Frequently land has been
built up into a high state Of fertility
when this was practically the only
means Of supplying humus to the soil.
