husband being charged with sending
his wife into the provost marshals
room to hold him up.
Mrs. Manners is now an actress en-

KEEP YOUR HENS UNTIL AT.
TER SPRING LAYING
SEASON

Washington, D. c., Feb. l1.-Over
150,OOO,O0O eggs will be lost to the
food supply of the United States if
the old practice of sending hens to
market at this season is confined.
Figures compiled by the poultry spec
ialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that more
than 100000 laying hens, each ca
pable of producing 80 eggs, are sent
to market from the Southern States
in the winter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore, is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting a divi-
dend for keeping the hen through the
winter. The specialists point out that
when hen is sold for meat early in
the spring, the farmer gets no egg
return for feeding and keeping her
through the worst months of the
year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable as
poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs. Poultry in May bring
Z cents pound less than it does in
February, but they point out, the 80
eggs produced by the hen, largely
from wastes, more than offset any
reduction in the price offered for live
poultry.
An energetic egg-saving campaign
to prevent early slaughter of the hen
that lays the golden egg" is now be-
ing conducted throughout the South
ern States. North of the Ohio river
farmers have long appreciated the ad-
vantages of getting the spring crop of
eggs and marketing their hens after
the laying season or in the fall. They
believe that adoption of this plan bv
Southern chicken raisers will be
profitable and will materially add TO
the TODD supply of the Nation.
