The Leghorn fowl owes Its popu-
Iarity SO largely to its reproducing
capacity that the meat possibilities Of
the breed have been neglected by most
Leghorn breeders. Such failure to rec
ognize the potential food value Of
birds kept to produce a special food
product may have been excusable un-
der prewar conditions, but In the pres
emit need Of utilizing to the full every
capacity of every food-producing ami
NAL breeders Of Leghorns should give
due attention to the development Of
their table qualities.
Discussion of the meat value Of a
breed must note and take due account
Of the fact that the markets-that is,
the dealers and consumers-do not
recognize breed differences in poultry,
except as in few localities particular
breeds may be generally kept and may
become known locally, or In special
trade lines for excellent table quality.
The poultry breeder, therefore, in plan
ming how to make the most Of the
meat values Of his stock considers
what market demands can be filled
with poultry of the breed which he
keeps.
Average Leuhorns Too Small.
Average Leghorn hens weigh only
about pounds alive. Many of them
will dress only 2 to 2h pounds. This
is not a desirable size for a table fowl,
being too much under the weights "A
to pounds) which most people prefer
when buying fowl.
Besides being small herself, the av-
erage Leghorn produces chicks so
small that they do not remain very
soft-meated until they have reached
the size the market demands In broil-
ers, and so the cockerels cannot be

What Contrasting Showed.

The average production. of all dairy
cows In the United States is 100
pounds of butterfat a year, according
to estimates. The average production
Of all cows in 40 cow-testing associa-
lions studied by investigations of the
United States department of agricul-
ture was PAT pounds year. Careful
fluctuations of the records of the 40 as
sociations show that production Of
160 pounds of buttsrfat year gave an
income of $23 over cost Of feed, while
the average income over cost Of feed
for all the cows In these associations
was SAT. or a little more than twice
as much.
Undoubtedly the dairymen who join
contrasting associations are more pro-
gressive than the average, and own
cows and farms that are much above
the average. but the fine showing made
by association cows should be credit
ed, In. large measure, to association
work. Certainly the cow-testing asso-
Citations return many dollars more than
they cost. II is encouraging also to
know that the cow-testing association
records indicate that the large-produc-
ing dairy cows are the least affected
by the Increased cost OF feeds. There
fore, every dairyman should aim to
keep them where they win continue
the economical production Of human
food. Economical production can be
obtained not only through careful Sc
lection Of dairy cattle. but through In
telligent breeding and skillful feeding.

PORK PRODUCTION HINTS.

A large, raw-boned SOW, hav.
ing plenty of capacity and size,
but lacking in femininity and
quality, Is one Of the poorest In
vestments a breeder can make,
for her pigs will be slow to de-
velop, hard to fatten, and lack
ing both In number and In uni
formity.
The modern hog Is a highly
specialized and efficient machine
for the conversion of grain and
r0ughage into edible meat, but
to obtain the greatest efficiency,
to make the most pork from a
given amount Of feed, to make
y the best pork, and to make that
pork most economically, the ma
chine must be kept running to
capacity from birth to the time
Of marketing. Nothing is more
important than this factor.
Slightly more rapid and eco
nomical gains in fattening hogs
are made by using a self-feeder
than can be obtained by the best
Of hand feeding.
Cleanliness and rational meth
DDS of management are relied

tai deficiency, officers say Ordin. arily soldier, disciplined and train. ed for months, responds to orders automatically. It is the mission of the psychiatrist board to weed out the men who are likely to fall in critical moments.
 The testing of the students minds is going on constantly, often without their knowledge. Some tests appear foolish and provide great amusement for the students. A cadet is some times required to shake his head vio- lently from side to side six or eight times and then with his eyes closed commanded to touch his nose with his right fore-finger. Inability to touch the nose indicates lack of sense of balance in some degree. This does not imply a mental deficiency and the desired sense of balance of ten can be developed in those at first lacking it.
 Problems to test mental alertness are given for instant solution. A series of circles is made or white sheet of paper by the men and they then are ordered to draw contin- uous line over the first two, under the second three. over and then un- der and so on. A mans boise is rated by his ability to follow the directions. which are given at high speed.
 Sometimes cadet is sent on an srrand with instructions to do numer- )us things. He is rated on his abil- ty to remember them all and on the sequence in which he performs them n regard to their relative import ,nce. Often a group of men is by crowded table and or tered to record later what they ,aw on the table in their hurried glance in passing it.
