Why Farmers Should Raise
More Chickens and Eggs.

More chickens and more eggs
will release more meat for our
armies and the allies. They can
not get our chickens and eggs
we can, and like to eat them.
Poultry can be increased more
rapidly and more economically
than any of the meat animals.
Chickens will live largely, grow
and prosper, on waste that never
otherwise would be of use, and will
eat the infant bugs, particularly
orchard pests, before they have
had opportunity to do great harm.
Chickens require a minimum of
attention. Most of it can be gil
ven by women and children. No
heavy labor is required.
Chickens will help Win the war.

FATS ARE NEEDED
FOR MANY PURPOSES
Mons Are Great Fat Producers and
Their Number Should Be Increased.

Hogs are mentioned by the United
States Food Administrator as one OF
the three main agencies that will tend
to win the war.
Fats are very essential at the pres
ent time, and will continue to be al
ter the war has been brought to a
close, and there 10 no quicker nor
more abundant producer of fats than
the hog. Consequently 1t is extreme
" urgent that hogs be conserved and
a greatly increased production of them
secured.
This can be accomplished in great
measure by hog raisers retaining their
breeding sows and their young pigs.
Prices for hogs are high at the pres
ent time, and there is great tempta-
ton for the farmers TO dispose of them
for slaughter, irrespective of sex,
weight. age or condition, on that &C
count, evidently overlooking the fact
that prices will remain high, not only
during the period of the war. but for
some time after peace has been de-
elared.
No doubt there may be exceptional
Instances where farmers may be In
immediate need of money from the
sale Of their hogs; but where such is
not the case. the indiscriminate dis
posa of their stock. for temporary
gain only, and especially where feed is
plentiful, is only lessening their
chances for future profit by decreasing
the number of their breeding animals.
and failing to get the full benefit from
their pigs which they would do il they
Kept them until they had gained great
eS weight. and. therefore, worth more
money on the market.
Under ordinary conditions. II would
seem the better part Of wisdom to get
rid of the old and improbable sows,
while retaining the younger, vigorous
animals for breeding stock to increase
the herds; but II seems unwise to dis
pose Of the young stun for slaughter
that are under 100 pounds weight at
least.
BY adopting some such method as
that suggested, greatly increased
production Of hogs could be secured.
and, necessarily, more hog products,
Including fats, which are so urgently
needed at the present time.-W. h.

Science, Louisiana State uniysrsity.
