gun which he kept in a handy place
to be used in soaring away the
thieves should they return. While
Mrs. Pierson and her babe were alone
in the house Friday evening it is
supposed she heard someone about to
help themselves to their coal and
grabbed the gun, which in some man
ner because discharged, the entire
charge striking her full in the breast,
at the same time taking away most
OF the infants arm, which she held
in her arms.
The dead body of his wife and in
fant daughter which died in short
time, were thus found by Mr.. Pier
son upon his return home about
eleven o'clock.
At the coroner's inquest held the
next day nothing more definite than
as reported above was learned and
the jury rendered verdict of acci-
dental death. Mrs. Pierson was a
former resident of Lewistown, being
the daughter of wealthy pioneer res
idents of that place. The remains
of both mother and child were taken
to Lewistown Sunday where inter-
ment was made.-Plentywood Herald.

Do you want to "do something" for
the food supply and eggs
even if only in !: small way? Keep
some hens. Not a new idea, Of
course, bpt until now it never was
quite so necessary or mandatory to
grasp every food-making opportun-
ity. Try it in the backyard, begin
ming wisely on a small scale-say
ten hens. How about New Years
resolve on this?
Let the table scraps help make
eggs and meat. In every household,
no matter how economical the house
wife, there is a certain amount of
table scraps and kitchen waste which
has feeding value but which, if not
fed, finds its way into the garbage
pail. The saving medium: Some hens.
Poultry is the only class of domes-
tic animal which is suitable for con-
verting the kitchen waste, right
where it is produced in the city: into
wholesome and nutritious food in the
form Of eggs and poultry meat.
Here are some safe figures about

THE DEVIL RESIGNS TO THE
KAISER

The Devil sat by lake of fire,
On a pile of sulphur kegs.
His head was bowed upon his breast
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face.
And sparks dripped from his eyes
He had sent up his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
'I'm down and OUT the Devil said
He said it with sob
There are others that outclass me
And l want to quit my job.
Hell is not in it wit hthe land
That lies along the Rhine.
Pm has been and a piker,
And therefore l resign.
One ammunition maker
With his bloody shot and shell
Knows more about Damnation
Than all the imps of hell.

The author of this war
He understands it better,
A million times by far.

what can be expected of a backyard
flock. Each hen in her puljet year
should produce 10 dozen eggs. The
average size of the backyard flock
should be at least 10 hens. Thus
each flock would produce in year
100 dozens of eggs which, at the con-
serYative value Of rs cents a dozen.
would be worth $25. But the 100
dozen is more important than the $25.
BY keeping a backyard poultry
flock tn. family would not only help
in reducing living costs but would
have eggs of a quality and freshness
which are often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little,
as the fowls are fed largely upon
waste materials.
Even as few hens as six or eight
should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for a family Of
four or five persons throughout the
entire year, except during the mott
ing period of the fall and early win
ter.

Eating Kitchen and
Egg Problems-Meat,

Every family which has even a
small backyard can 60 far toward
supplying itself with eggs and pro-
ducing some poultry which will les
sen its draft on the nations meat
supply. Even in small backyard,
with the aid of few hens, much of
the kitchen garbage can be manufac-
tured into food instead of being vast
ed at time when there must be no
waste of anything that can be made
edible. Keeping chickens even on a
small scale can be made pleasant,
worthwhile recreation, particularly
interesting to a child old enough to
assume responsibility.
This article is the first Of series
of simple, practical instructions on
keeping poultry on small scale. The
series is designed primarily to help
beginners start their focks, but
should convey valuable information to
those who have had experience or
who keep poultry on a suburban or
larger scale. The facts are those
gathered by the Governments poul-
try specialists on the Department Of
Agriculture's poultry farm at elts-
vile, Nd, and from the thousands Of
private poultry yards which they
have visited and studied. These spec.
ialists will be glad to send bulletins
or furnish advice to those interested
in producing more eggs and chicken
meat during the emergency.
Should Keep Hens in My Backyard?
Keeping small flocks of hens in a
village or city backyard has proved
successful 1t is an important branch
of the poultry industry. Though the
value of the product fro meach flock
is small in itself, the aggregate is
large. The product of such flock
both in the form of eggs, and fowls
for the table, may be made at rela-
lively low cost because of the posi-
bility of utilizing table scraps and
kitchen waste which would otherwise
be thrown away. A small flock Of
hens, even as few as six or eight,
should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for family of
four or five persons throughout the
entire year, except during the molt-
ing period and fall and early winter.
BY preserving surplus eggs produced
during spring and early summer this
period of scarcity can be provided for.
Keeping pullets can be provided for.
Keeping pullets instead Of hens also
will insure production of eggs at this
time. Not only will 1.-The eggs from
the home flock materially reduce the
cost of living, but their superior
freshness and quality are in them
selves we'll worth the effort expended.
The need for an extension of poultry
raising is particularly great nthose
sections where the consumption Of
+ poultry products exceeds the produc-
tion, with the result that prices are
high.

keeping of poultry in towns and cities

REPAIR FARM MACHINERY

Now is a good time to repair the
farm machinery, so as to have it in
readiness for next spring and sum-
mer. Better result sare usually Sc
cured when the spring work and har-
vesting is done promptly and it saves
labor. The day or more spent in
waiting for extras or i nhaving a ma

MOTHER ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS SELF AND BABY

Mrs. Dan Pierson, wife of prom

and her six months old baby daugh-
ter are dead as the result Of the ac-
cidental discharge of shot gun. The

had been in the habit of helping
themselves to the Pierson coal pile

and also because of the noise made
by roosters Growing, particularly
early in the morning. In some cities
regulations have been formulated to
prevent or control poultry keeping
Where there are such regulations it
will be necessary for the beginner to
find out their provisions and to con-
form to them. The poultry flock need
not become a nuisance to the neigh
bors. If the dropping boards are
cleaned daily and if the houses and
yards are kept in a reasonably clean
condition there will be no annoying
0dors.
The male bird need not be nuis-
ance. Unless it is intended to hatch
chickens from the flock, it is unnec-
essary to keep male bird. The fact
that there is no male in the flock will
have absolutely no effect upon the
number of eggs laid by the hens.
Those who wish to produce eggs for
Matching should get rid Of the roost-
ers when the Matching season ends.
This is desirable not only to elimin-
ate the noise of the rooster, but also
to save the feed that would be eaten
by the male, and for the further rea-
son that the eggs produced after the
male is disposed of will be infertile
Since these eggs are incapable of
chick development, they can be kept
much better than fertile eggs and
consequently are superior for keep
ing, putting up in water-glass, or
marketing.
The flock, of course, must be kept
confined; otherwise the hens will
stray into neighbors' yards and gar
dens, where they may cause dam
age, and almost certainly ill-feeling.
The next article will deal with the
kind of chickens to keep, the size of
the flock, and how to procure stock.
REGULATING HENS EXERCISE
In practice it is found that if hen
gets about half of the daily ration
with little effort, and the rest with
moderate effort, she will be well-fed
and at the same time take exercise
enough to keep her in good physical
condition.
As rule, the mash-whether moist
or dry-constitutes from one-third to
one-half of the ration. This, being
fed in troughs or hoppers, the hens
get without exercise. In eating the
grain fed in litter fowls at first get
it with little effort. As the supply
diminishes they must scratch more
and more to find what remains.
Under this condition it is necessary
to feed grain more literally in deep
litter than in shallow litter; other
wise the supply would run so law at
times that the hens would have hard
work to get it as fast as they should.
The feeder is guidede as to the guam
tity of grain to give by observing
how the hens eat the mash, and by
occasionally examining the floor to
see whether grain is accumulating in
the litter.
