Since December LIST the Seattle yards
have turned out ship every ten days
most of them $500 tonners-and by
March 18TH this record will be broken,
as by that time the plants will be in posi-

efficient workmen have been secured in
large numbers, principally from Kansas
and the Middle West. These workmen
are receiving the highest wages ever
known in the shipbuilding industry or
any other manual work. Homes will be
constructed for them near the yards.

LAYING HENS NEED
FRESH AIR !.

The first three months of the year
are the months that demand efficient
poultry house ventilation If the stock
is to be healthy and if egg production
Is to be kept at maximum, according
to the poultry authorities at the New
York state college of agriculture.
| Proof of insufficient ventilation usu-
ally is found in damp or frosted walls
damp litter, close or impure air, flock,
with consequent low winter egg pro-
duction. The body of the hen con-
stantly gives off moisture, and this
accumulates unless there is enough
movement of the air to carry it away.
Dampness fosters colds, and when a
cold is contracted, the body is too
weak to resist the attack OF a con-
tagious disease such as roup.
It is stated further that the house
should at no time be tightly closed.
The exercise of judgment, and few
trials, will show how much to leave
the windows open at night. Windows
should be removable so that they can
be taken out during the day, if it is
not storming. Experience indicates
that the birds will not suffer from the
cold if they are not in draft. if they
are kept working, and if they are not
'overfed.
Plenty of air, may best be had by
fitting windows in at the top, as this
will not let in the rain nor put drafts
directly on the floor. There should
be wide board at each edge of the
window to keep the rain out; strip
of wood sash-plug, or nail on this
strip will mold the window at any
desired angle. Both upper and lower
sash, where there are two, should be
arranged in this way to get the best
circulation.

Enemy Of the Dog Figures
High Cost of Keeping Pet

A dog hater in New Hampshire, slim
ulated by the campaign for food con-
servation, sharpened his pencil and this
is what he figured
One person in 20 keeps dog; that's
100000 dogs. 1t costs ten cents
a day to feed dog, or $3.50 year
for one, and 1882, 100000 per annum for
all of them. With -four at SIS bar
rel, this sum would buy II, 1885, CO bar
rels of flour. If loaded II barrels to
each motortruck, 100000 trucks
would be required to load the flour, at
one time, and they would make pro-
cessiOn 2,272 miles In length.
The figures seem to be all right and
unquestionably impressive. but who
can estimate the heart pangs and per-
sonal loss of 100000 small boys If
deprived of their dearest treasured

Farmers Getting Aroused.

For several weeks prepare tions have
been in progress for a gathering of men
from the farms, at Washington, and for
audiences with President Wilson, Mr.
Hoover and heads of departments, the
purpose being to find out just what was
going to be done for and with the men on
the farms. Realizing the seriousness of
the situation there, this delegation pro
posed to cut all red tape and theories and
get right down to brass tacks
Enough had been done for the ''up-
lift" of the farmers the time has arrived
for them to get some real help.
Last week this meeting was held, and
80 men from 40 States were present,
Maine not being represented. For five
days these men conferred together, got
together on common basis, and then
they put up their demands.
They askedsthat all boys drafte from
the farms be paroled for farm work, crops
being as necessary as fighting. 1t was
decided that if there was any further
price fixing, it should apply to what the
farmer must buy as well as SELL An ex-
tension of the credit system, including
short loans and available cash, to carry
through the season, was insisted upon,
also pledge of prompt shipment and de-
livery of all fertilizer, seeds, foods and
machinery.
Finally, and this is most important, the
appointment of nine men from the farms,
representing different sections of the
country, to sit continually at Washing
ton and advise the President as to the
facts on the farms east, west, north and
south.
In presenting these demands to the
President, careful consideration was
pledged, but final action not indicated.
AS representatives, it was decided to
make the first week in March a national
implement inspection week, for necessary
repairs, that when the time comes for &C
tive duties, everything will be in order
Here is time-and money saving meas
ure of vital importance, and this national
service week for the home farm may
we'll be observed everywhere.
The individual reports from different
States all told Of serious conditions, the
absolute impossibility of getting compe-
tent help, total failure of the movement
last year to put out boys or unskiiled
labor, and the evil influence of short
hours and big pay in all industries, while
this is impossible on the farm.
Rightly these farmers insisted that dur
ing the war, unionized labor should be as
patriotic as farm labor, and give as many
hours to service for the country. Now,
for the first time, we have something
definite and tangible to work on and from
Red tape and visions have been cut, and
the President knows Just what the farm
ers are up against. If the reasonable re-
quests are granted, a new life will be felt
on all the farms, for there is no want of
patriotism here. The slackers are in the
ranks of those grabbing everything and
giving as little as possible, not out on the
farms. We wait with profound interest
the outcome of this important gathering.

Oriqin of the UkuIeIe.

There are 10000 Portuguese in the
Hawaiian islands, and it is charged
that these people, and not the ma
tives, are responsible for the ukulele.
1t has long been matter of common
knowledge that the instrument was in
troduced into the islands by Portu-
guese, but that is not really the ques-
ton of greatest moment. So long as
the ukulele was confined to Hawaii it
was almost as harmless as banjo,
the guitar, or the mandolin. Nobody
then had a word to say against it. The
point that needs to be cleared up is:

Ten Rules for HouSehoIderS
To Obtain Greatest Heating
Efficiency and to Save Coal

The efficiency with which the house
holder operates his heating plant de-
ponds mainly upon the type of furnace
and the conditions under which it is
installed and operated. In the inter-
ests of fuel conservation during the
present extension division, co-operat-
ing with the state council of defense,
puts out the following suggestion:
l. The base Of the heater must be
tight and must make an alright con-
nection with the floor so that no air
can leak into the ash pit.
2. The chimney and all connections
into it must be tight. A burning match
or candle held close to all joints will
indicate leaks.
8. The chimney should be high
enough. The top should be at least
2 feet above around surrounding OBJ
jects.
4. The smoke pipe from the furnace
to the chimney should be straight,
short, and should grade up to the
chimney.
5. The CRATES must not be warped,
must move easily and should have no
holes or broken places for unburned
coal to drop through.
6. All basement piping, heater sur
faces and smoke pipes should be COW
cred with asbestos covering.
z. A shut-off damper should be pro-
vided in the smoke pipe to control the
intensity Of the chimney draft and a
check draft damper is required in the
smoke pipe beyond the shut-off damp
er.
8. There should be a lift or slide
damper in the fire door and draft
damper in the ash pit door.
8. For highest efficiency, some type
Of automatic draft regulator such as a
thermostat should be provided.
10. All doors and windows in the
house should be as tight as possible.

Declares CattIemen Facing
Large Deficits-Government
Alone Can Save Bankruptcy

Cattle feeding is manufacturing
business. The farm with it's buildings
and equipment is the plant. The steers
digestive apparatus is the machinery.
Corn silage, cotton seed meal, straw,
hay and fodder, the raw material to be
converted into beef. So many pounds
of corn, silage, cotton seed meal and
forage passed through the machinery
of a steers digestion turns out 1OO
pounds of beef, the finished product,
writes Wymond ]. Beckett, in the In
dianapolis Star.
The amount of feed, when properly
combined, required for 100 pounds OF
gain, remains practically constant. The
cost of feed known, the cost of 100
pounds of gain can be easily determin-
ed. This has been worked out at agri.
cultural experiment stations, and on
the farms of the country by actual
demonstrations. Cost of beef is not
absolute, but relative, depending Who'll
ly on the cost of feeds. The cost of
100 pounds Of beef normally, bears
direct relations always to the cost OF
the feeds which enter into its produc-
ton. Every business man understands
that the cost Of the raw material and
the expense of operation determines
the cost of production. These same
items determine the cost of agricul.
tural production. Then it should be
comparatively easy to determine the
cost Of 100 pounds of beef and what 1t
should sell for on the market to yield
the farmer a reasonable profit for his
labor and investment. Is the cattle
feeder today getting even the cost price
for his finished product? If not, why
not?

Battle Planes for France.

rba first American built battle planes
-s On route to France. In making this
anoouncement Secretary Baker said the
erst shipment, although it is not large,
umarks the final overcoming of many
sNculties met in building up this new
and intricate industry"
uThese planes" he said, "a re equipped
nth the first Liberty motors from ma
.h,ne production. One of them in a re-
.sot test surpassed all records for speed
and climbing for planes of that type
Fopne production which began month
400 IS now on a quantity basis and the
-ssL of production will be reached in a
ss.uo made, as developments abroad have
made it wise to concentrate on the high
lowered engine instead of the 8-cylinder. !"
Optimistic as these statements appear,
.bs Secretary said they should not be
.xapGerated and should be considered in
,h, light of these facts: That after three
,esrs of warfare the total number of
lanes able to take the air at any one
t7e on either side of the western front
has not been more than $500.
That 40 men are required on the ground
f.- every plane in the air, making total
n 15, 900 men needed for the present
Maximum of $500 planes.
That for every plane in the air there
r.ls be two replacement planes on the
ground and one training plane for every
blot who eventually reaches the front,
,yth a spare engine for each plane.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that mad to be overcome in getting the
aircraft production program under way.
Mir Baker said the great problem now
-emaining is to secure the thousands
o skilled mechanics, enginemen, motor
repair men, wood and metal workers,
etc.. needed to keep the planes in perfect
gnlltion and without which the ma
shines turned out soon would be useless
suJ the flyers helpless.
Al best" said the Secretary, 'the
-e of a plane is but two months and the
sa-ne must be overhauled after Is hours,
while pilot on plane allowed to leave
f'c hangers in imperfect condition is
helpless as a bird with broken wing.
Now that American battle planes are
going overseas a great increase in the
aunteering of skilled mechanics is both
essential and expected.
Iuring the past month, Mr. Baker said,
esponsive channel of communication
aaI the Allies has been opened, the latest
yl-s of foreign machines have been
ilgted to American manufacture, the
niustry increased at least twenty fold,
Oh. aiming plane problem solved and the

Some Honey

At meeting of the Western Maine
fruit growers few days ago, Studying
the Bee" was outlined by Mrs. Ella N.
Stockman of Auburn. She began to
study them years ago. Like others she
had bee fever. Since 1870 she had studied
them and read all the books she could get
hold of on the subject. Last August
while in Brooklyn she saw 1000 tons Of
honey going to Europe. The entire
amount raised in the United States is
said to be 200, 900, 600 tons. Millions of
dollars is invested in making honey prod
ucts--Lewiston Sun.
Let's see, that is about 2 tons of honey
for each person in the United States.
