is greater she is probably laying. In
measuring the spread the size Of the
hens of different breeds with the cor
responding difference in the spread
must be kept in mind.
The distance from the rear end of
the keel bone to the pelvic bones In
creases with a consequent increase in
size of the abdomen. A spread of three
or more fingers in the smaller breeds,
as the Leghorn, and four or five fin
gers in the larger breeds. such as the
Plymouth Rock, indicates that the hen
is in laying condition. A spread of
less than two fingers in the smaller
breeds and less than three fingers in
the larger breeds indicates that she is
not in laying condition.

HOLD PRODUCTIVE HENS

All hens mott in the fall and
early winter. During Ills molt-
ing season, which usually takes
about three months, the hens
lay few Or no eggs. 1t is advis-
able, if well-matured pullets can
be purchased ut n reasonable
price, to kill and eat the hens as
they begin to mott, replacing the
flock with newly purchased pull
lets. The hens should not be
killed, however, until they begin
to mott and their combs begin to
lose size, color and fleXibility,
for If these changes have not
taken place the hens will prob
ably still be laying and Mt a time
of year when eggs are especially
valuable.

MORE ATTENTION
GIVEN CHICKENS
Substantial Increases in Twenty
eight States as Result of
Federal Campaign.
MORE EGGS ARE PRESERVED
In Some Sections Farmers Were In
duced to Dispose of Poorer Stock
and Raise Purebreds-chicks
Matched Earlier.

Reports Of poultry increases during
the past year have come from % of
the 80 states in which the United
States department of agriculture and
allied forces started a "more poultry"
campaign 10 November, 1917. The
gains range from Is to so per cent.
The maiD increases were on farms, al
though village and city back yards
shared in the upward trend. Prospects
for further increases also were report
ed.
Cooperation in the poultry cam
paign was given to the department of
agriculture by many agencies, notably
the state agricultural colleges and civic
ind patriotic organizations. In some
sections hundreds of farmers were in
duced to dispose of poor stock in favor
Of pure-breds. Because Of the high cost
Of feeding. poultry keepers are re-
spending rapidly to this method of in
creasing profits. AS an example, in
Green county, Missouri, on August 2S
more than 300 farm flocks were culled
through the efforts of the local leader
organizations.
SOy-Sto iitSNo Sosd
A large number of chick hatcheries
reported, as a result of this and other
campaigns, that they had sold more
day-old chicks the past season than
ever before. 1t is believed that at
least so per cent of poultry producers
Matched earlier this year than in pre-
vfous years as a result Of the efforts
for early Matching.
Thousands of families in cities and
towns all over the country were in
duced to keep q few hens in their back
yards to utilize table waste and supply
the home with eggs. In a number of
larger towns and cities ordinances pro-
hibiting keeping poultry within certain
districts We're overcome by getting Of
icials to allow backyard flocks within
the city limits as a war emergency.
Egg Preservation Shows Increase.
Big demand for water glass through
out the country is taken to indicate
that more eggs were preserved than in
any previous year, and new sections
were reached by the advice to produce
infertile eggs.
Other phases of the campaign have
been efforts to encourage the growing
Of all possible poultry feeds, consump-
tion of poultry and eggs to conserve
the meat supply, better methods of
housing. better management of poul-
try and better methods of marketing
products and buying feeds.

work and four district supervisors,
with headquarters at Chicago. Kansas

GREEN STUFF FOR CHICKENS
sprouted Oats Are Excelient-Hens
Also Relish Cabbage, Turnips,
Beets, Manuels, Etc.

The hens should be furnished some
form of green stuff when they are kept
up. Sprouted oats are probably the
best, but cabbage, turnips, beets, man.
gels, ETC.. will be readily devoured by
the hens and will answer the purpose
for green feed.

usual method is to place them on the
market unplucked.

We can supply the hens with animal

Divers WORKING
! TO HAUL TUGBOAT
FROM MUD Berth

Since an early hour yesterday morn
ing corps of divers and wreckers
have been working on the tugboat
Isis which, sank yesterday morning
at the dock of the City Coal & Ice
Co. while her bunkers were being fill
ed with coal. At noon today Commo-
dore Robert Ferret of the Bridgeport
Towing Co., announced that the YES
sci would be again in commission by
tonight and would resume her work
of towing coal barges from New York
to this port.
The quick work Of the engine room
crew of the tugboat prevented her
from being a total wreck when she
foundered, as they stuck to their posts
at some considerable risk in order to
draw the fires and let off the steam,
thus preventing the explosion of the
boilers.
Fortunately the Isis sank in about
five fathoms of water so that the
work of the divers was not hampered
by the difficulties which beset them
while working on hulls in deeper
water. They were able to adjust the
cables in record time and it was not
long before the hull of the vessel was
in a position for the pumps to start
getting the water out of her.

BILL IN SENATE

Washington, April 19-Passage of
the bill introduced by Senator Cham

cases involving violations of the es-
pionage law, is imperative for the
protection of aliens in this country,
Norman H. White, BrookIine, Mass,
of the military intelligence section of
the army, told the Senate military
committee today.
"The non-passage of this BILL" he
said, "only means a few more items in
the. newspapers daily telling of the
tarring and feathering of aliens and
riding of women on rails and hanging
perhaps of innocent aliens
The department of justice, Mr..
White said, is overworked with the
ordinary criminal work incident to
the war.
Aliens are beginning to laugh at
the military authorities because of
their lack of authority, Mr.. White de-
clared.

employees of customers, prospective
customers and competitors customers
as an inducement to them to influence
their employers in purchase of var
nish and kindred products" The
gratuities included money, entertain
ment, liquor, cigars meals and per-

the complaints the companies admit
ted the truth of the charges and ask

taking testimony.
The commissions action in the cases
of 26 companies clears up all but 10
