Eat More Chicken

Increase to Supply Meat
for the Home Table

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
As a matter Of business foresight
and economy, as well as of patriotism.
farmers who increase their production
of poultry and eggs this year should
plan to use considerable part Of the
Increase on their own tables. Much
Of the benefit of increasing the supply
Of products capable Of very rapid In
crease, but perishable and bulky, will
be lost If producers adopt the policy
Of marketing all the increase. In that
case there would be no substitution
on the farm Of poultry products for
the cured and compact meats which 1t
is desired to reserve as far as possible
for. military use and shipment to the
allies.
Many farm families could easily use
several times as much poultry as Is
now consumed on the average farm.
Analysis Of the figures of the last GEN.
sus shows very light consumption Of
poultry and eggs on the average farm.
For the whole country the average
yearly consumption Of eggs per farm
is only 1875 dozen-2.6 dozen per
week; Of poultry, 60 head-or one
bird every six days. The highest aver.
age consumption Of eggs in any state
Is pip dozen-four dozen week.
The highest average consumption Of
poultry in a state IL 1246 head-one
bird In 20 days. Such averages indi
cate that farmers who use poultry and
eggs freely on their own tables use
from six to ten dozen eggs and four to
six head Of poultry weekly. In view
Of the extent to which large hocks can
be made self-sustaining during the
greater part Of the year on most farms
this liberal scale of consumption of
poultry products would seem practical
generally.
The consumption Of eggs on farms
still receive the benefit of good prices
for fresh eggs in the season of scant
production and give consumers the
benefit Of larger supply and more
moderate prices. If all farmers who
can do SO will preserve as many eggs
when eggs are cheap as they can use
at home when eggs are dear. The av.
erage farm price Of eggs in the United
States in April, May and June, 1917
was % cents dozen in October, No
vember and December, 3S.7 cents. In
1916 the average difference in farm
prices in the periods compared was
1913 cents dozen. There is periot
Of from five to six months in every
year when the average price Of frest
eggs on the farm is about ten cents q
dozen more than the average price
during the season of heavy production
Innsmuch as eggs can be preserved
in water glass, or in lime water. ant
kept in perfect condition for from 81,
to nine months, and usable for a veal
or more, farmer who preserves eggs
when they are cheap for his own use
can use eggs freely the year rount
and still have eggs to sell all through
the season of high prices.

How Whiting Saved Food.

Demonstrations Of food drying
spread last year over Kentucky as a
part Of the national food saving work,
according to the q. s. department of
agriculture. and in that state 1900
homemade driers were constructed.
Here Ia one reason: The home demon
stration agents preached the need for
drying SO earnestly that many men
who had been whiting on street cor
ners to while away the time became
interested. They whitfield for a pur-
pose and made homemade driers. In
Kentucky alone 100000 pounds Of
dried products were saved last year.

Continued Fight
Against Tuberculosis

The Red Cross had always been iden-
tilted with the fight against tubercu-
losis, and in France this disease was
threatening to take all which the war
spared; it was marching through the
devastated areas, where families lived
huddled in cellars; it had invaded the
trenches, and soldiers were carrying it
back with them to districts which
might otherwise have been measurably
immune.
But the Red Cross-working in this
field in cooperation with the Rookie
Teller Foundation-has established a
system which will eventually include
three hundred dispensaries through
out France, with visiting nurses at
tached, and q system of sanatoriums
for the treatment of advanced cases,
This has taken upward of two millions
OF American volunteer dollars.
One would like to tell of the recon-
struction of entire villages-many of
them, alas, wiped out by the latest
