 Probably the most prolific yield in flesh is from Pekin d from which yield of 10000 pounds per per year has been obtained plus four pounds of grain for each pound of flesh The Belgian hare about prolific and needs less ground to in than the ducks
 To much increase the total quantity of flesh foods by ras ing cae would require several years But by the of smaller creatures the total be speedily increased
 There certain misconceptions about the economic ducon of flesh foods It is not for instance profitable to calf to maturity if this requires sacrifice of milk good Jersey will produce edible proens food values less food than required bring maturity.
 Many experiments have been made with chickens. It takes under conditions pounds of food produce pound of fowl and 2 pounds to produce the pound Seven pounds will be required the third pound four and fifth pounds will need IS and 19 pounds of specvey Fortylve pounds of grain will thus produce IA pounds of chicken brought to two pounds each but only five pounds, if used in feeding fowl.
 These facs well enough understood by specialists far from being property They prove that production is still on a most unscentific basis.

He was eighteen when he left Canada to em- bark in newspaper work in the south ern side of the international bound ary. He served his apprenticeship in journalism under the gifted editor and noelist, Ed Howe of the Atchison Globe. MT. Howe yesterday cele- brated his sixty-fourtA birthday. Lat CT Walt Mason worked on the Lincoln, Nebraska, State Journal, the Wash ington Evening News and other pa pers, returning to Kansas in 1907 to join the staff of William Allen Whites Emporia Gazette. MT. Mason is a writer of prose poetry, but little be- comingly modest about his success and inclined to be boastful of his achiev- ments as a "hoss'' trader. His great est feat in that line was when he started with venerable and decrepit animal and. after making a dozen swaps" in two weeks, finished with the horse he began with and eighty dollars in cash.
