SEvENTY-HEN EGG FACTORY
AS a BACKYARD VENTURE

The illustration above shows an
intensive backyard poultry plant
which is making a very important
food contribution to a Nation that
needs more eggs and poultry flesh.
Practically the entire backyard is
occupied by houses and covered
runs and about 70 hens are car
ried. Each house is by IA feet
and is divided into pens with a
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 feed in the
cellar Of the dwelling house of the
owner. Chicks, too, are raised in
this basement.

backyard poultry business, write to

hshed standard breed kept up on every
vacant home lot in the country would
mean millions of meat and eggs for
this country for which our govern
ment is calling and pleading upon
every side. We can do very worthy
part if we will get busy, and at the
same time without loss to ourselves
In fact, if we'll managed, it will mean
profit. The chances are that we
have some old shed in the back yard
which can be converted into a good
roosting place for our hens without
extra expense. For easy yarding it
will be a good plan to take up some
one of the heavier breeds which are
not given to high flying
There are number of these which
are producers of lots of good meat
and at the same time among the best
layers. These are any of the Ply
mouth Rocks. any of the Wyandottes,
Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and
Javas. From this array of form and
color one can make the selection to
suit his own fancy and still have the
best that can be found. The chances
are that you will be the means of
getting your children interested in
some of this work and thus have no
trouble in keeping them off the street
as you desire, at the same time be in
sitting in them thrift that will mean
much to them in after years. No mat
ter whether they are so much inter-
ested in the business as business but
the fact that they will become accum-
toned to the details of a small bust
ness and its attendant income as re-
suits. II you will but take hold of
this matter as we have simply out
lined roughly we will warrant that
you will never regret a step taken in
this direction. It will result in good
from start to finish and may be the
means of improving your health If
need be, taking you away from the
worries of business for time each
day. Try it and see for yourself

STANDARD BRED POULTRY FOR
THE BACK LOT FELLOW

(EY judge E. j.

We do not attempt to say that good
mixed hens are not better than to
have no hens at all but in these days
one cannot really afford to fool away
his time and good feed upon an I'M
certain quantity like a bunch Of mon
grel hens. Who has any idea what
will be the egg production from this
kind of stock? One thing sure they
will lay eggs of all colors which will
not bring as much in market as those
of uniform color and shape, The
standardized hens viii give you eggs,
more eggs, and better eggs, than the
average scrub, to say nothing of the
pleasure of handling and looking after
bunch of fine, even -colored hens all
of one kind and quality, and noting
the improvement from time to time
in their breeding If some attention is
paid to this part of the matter, as it
is usually the case when one becomes
interested in good stock. The interest
grows FROM time to time so that one
soon becomes an enthusiast Many
of YOU who have a little back yard
room and have not been keeping any
chickens should get busy and see what
you can do towards producing some
good eggs. 1t will pay you to thus
turn your refuse from the kitchen
though it be small into something TO
eat, This stuff with a little good
grain will keep few hens in good
laying condition.
The chances are that some of your
neighbors will soon become enough
interested to want some of your stock
or eggs for Matching. If YOU can sell
to them you will make little spare
change TO help pay the feed bills be-
sides doing the good act of getting
them interested in the good work of
producing more and better poultry. 1t
is not so much the increased produc-
ton of the great poultry farms of this
country that is going to help out on
war time products, so much as. that

taking care of dozen or more hens
who has never been doing it before
will take hold and do their part. A

When first frozen the comb and
wattles retain their normal color, eX-
cept for slight whiteness of the skin
of the frozen parts. After the affected
parts thaw out they turn dark in color
and there is more or less Inflammation
in them and the adjacent parts. Treat
ment is most beneficial if first applied
before the frozen parts begin to thaw.
At this stage the best treatment is to
rub with cold vaselire or lard, manip-
ulating gently with the fingers to
draw the frost gradually and restore
circulation. When the frost is out
anoint the parts with a mixture of
tablespoons vaselira. tablespoons
gIycerine / tablespoon turpentine.
Apply this two or three times day,
keeping the bird in cool mot cold
place If the frostbte is not noticed
until thawing has occurred, omit the
first rubbing.
The thin wattles of males are most
susceptible, especially when they are
wet as the bird drinks. In severe cold
weather it is best not to give males
access to open drinking vessels except
during the warmer hours of the day.
The combs are usually frosted at night
when the birds are on the roosts. A
curtain of burlap or Of cotton cloth
hung before the ToOst will often keep
the space back of it warm enough to
prevent any frostbiteS If it is more
convenient the males may be removed
TO a warmer place for the night Rub
bling vaseline on the combs and wat
ties of the males makes them more
frost-resistant.

"Borbary Sheep' WiH Be Shown ct Coliseum T'OniQbt.

At the Coliseum theatre com mencing tonight, Elsie Ferguson nfaEes her motion picture debut in fBarbary Sheep" for Aircraft pie tures.. One of the most prominent opponents of the true dramatic art, Miss Ferguson brings to the screen a rare personality and adds greatly to its potency as high-class amuse- ment. Miss Ferguson career on the stage started at the bottom. Through characteristic persistency and hard work she has become one of the most popular actresses of the world. Her characterization in such well known theatrical hits as Shirley Pays" Such a Little Queen" "Outcast," and "MaKrgaret Schiller" won her particular prom thence among the hearts of Ameri- can theatre-goers.
 In "Barbary Sheep" adapted from Robert Hichens most popular book since "The Garden of Allah" Miss Ferguson is given a vehicle that not only is particularly adapted to her capabilities, but one that offers her a most lavishly artistic back ground. Under the direction of Maurice Tourneur, the well known French producer, some of the most elaborate sets ever staged for a photoplay are presented in novel
