SELL COCKEREI.S AS BROlLERS.
We learned by the experience of last
year that it was more profitable TO mar
ket our surplus Cockerels as broilers,
than to hold them over for roosters.
The longer they were held the smaller
the profits that were made on them. 1t
was the experience of many roultrymcn
that cockerels held over until the fall
were sold at a loss.
The following table shows the number
of pounds of grain necessary to produce
each pound of gain in growing hroilcrS

LIST ID. of gain uses lbs. Of grain.
I'd III. of gain uses 80 lbs Of grain.
Sd lii. of gain uses 60 lbs. of grain.
4th 10. Of gain uses 1913 lbs. of grain.
9TH lb. of gain uses $50 lbs. of grain.
From the above table it can be seen
that for each additional pound OF gain it
requires a larger amount of grain. You
Will discover on figuring the cost of
grain that the broiler will return you
about the same profit as the rooster.
but with less than half the labor. and in

canism. In citing these reports, Mr.
Garvan recalled that Wagner had
published a half-page advertisement
offering a reward of $4,000 to any
one who could produce evidence that
his ships had been supplying Ger
man raiders and at another time Of
fered $4,000 to any one who would
prove the American Transatlantic
company was German-owned.
Sought to Arouse Ill-Feeling.
Three of Wagner's ships were
seized by the British and one by the
French during 1915 and in the prize
courts testimony indicating German
backing for the American Trans-At-
lantic company was aired
"These seizures" said Mr.. Garvan
were made the basis of a master ef-
fort of Bernstortf's German propa-
gandists in the United States. Resort
was had to every device to arouse
hatred and ill-feeling in this country
against Great Britain. Under the
direction of Won Bernstorff, the agi-
tation assumed nationwide proper
tons. Wagner insisted the ships were
purchased with American money and
claimed that the American investors
in the company were entitled to pro-
lection and left nothing undone to
take advantage of this agitation
against the British"
Wagner, coming on from Milwau-
kee, where he was born under the
name of Wagenknecht, Sc years ago,
the son OF a German father, went
to Germany in December, 1914, and
visited Hugo SHINES, the wealthy
German shipowner and coal opera
tor. Then he went to Copenhagen,
where he saw Albert Jensen. his
cousin, manager of a coal concern
owned by SHINES. He made arrange
ment with Jensen to purchase fleet
of neutral merchant vessels, Jensen
to provide the money and Wagner
to return to America and have them
placed under the American registry
through an American company which
he would organize. While in Ger
many he tried to buy an uncom-
pleted tank steamer and induced Am
bassador Gerard to cable the United
States commissioner of navigation as
to his attitude toward placing the
ship under American registry.

rF ONDAY nights audience at the

AVA Ben Welch. the star OF his own
company. Mr.. Welch after donning
his costume and makeup went out
through the stage door into the al
ley theater to enjoy short smoke.
The door mans back was turned
when Mr.. Welch went out. When
Welch had finished his cigarette he
knocked on the stage door for ad-
mittance, whereupon the doorman
looked out to see who was there. In
the semi-darkness. he failed to rec
ognize Mr.. Welch and gruffly remark
ed to him: "No tailors allowed to So
licit business here" slammed the
door and refused to again respond to
the frenzied rapping OF the star. The
outcome was that Mr.. Welch had to
walk around the block in his makeup,
all OF which, made his entrance bit
late.

that even then the portrayal has not
