Market Price.

On account of the scarcity of red
meat. which logically creates brisk de-
mand for other forms OF flesh. such as
poultry and fish. and owing to the ex-
tremely high price Of feed. IT is abso-
lutely essential that every surplus cock
erel and inferior pullet should be fat
tened for market and disposed OF at the
earliest possible moment in order to
keep down expenses. Useless young
stock that IL allowed to run with the
rest Of the fiock until late summer or
early fall. develops into birds that are
neither broilers nor roasters. and as a
consequence are placed In the mixed
poultry class when offered on the mar
ket.
The price for this kind of stock is
much less than that offered for good
broilers. frye-s or roasters. This loas Of
profit con be eliminated by culling the
young stock soon after the weaving age.

Fattening for Finish.

A great many poultry keepers make
the mistake Of shipping surplus cock
erels and other stock Just as they
come from the f1ocks at culling time.
It is only in exceptional cases that
such birds are in prime market condi-
ton at this time. therefore consider
able profit Is lost by the failure to put
these broilers and fryers in the pink
OF condition through special feeding
for ten days or two weeks. The grower
who Is willing to go to this extra
trouble and expense will be fully re-
paid for his efforts. 1t Is by doing
things a little better than the other
fellow that one gets in on the high
market.
Whenever there is a considerable
plan is to confine them to colony
houses and small yards, and follow
what Is commonly known as pen feed
ing. The sanitary condition Of the
yards and houses must be carefully
looked after. as 1t is essential to con-
in order to limit undue exercise. The
best method Of feeding to insure quick
gains in weight Is to give three times
daily a ration Of ground grains mixed
to the consistency of thick cream
with skim milk, buttermilk or water.
poultry grower will not want to fatten
the cockerels in quite the same fash
ion as that described above for the
larger establishments. Most Of the
backyard birds are consumed at
home. which calls for plan Of feed
ing that will keep them in good con-
dition Of flesh for period OF two or
three months. This may be accom-
plished by giving light feed Of grain
in the litter for the morning meal;
table scraps and ground grains a.
noon and whole grain wheat at night.
If all the whole grain is fed in
deep litter. the birds will obtain sum.
Gent exercise to keep them in good
physical condition for an indefinite
period. The noon mash may be COM
posed Of equal parts OF bran and corn
meal, mixed with scraps from the
table, or 10 per cent Of meat meal.
waste vegetables from the kitchen
and garden can be used to supply
green food. Plenty of water and grit
must be supplied at all times. No
yard or run need be provided. unless
there is space enough to permit 1t.

How to Gull Flock.

II selection for health and vigor Is
made the important issue In culling the
young stock. there Is little danger OF
serious mistakes on the part of the
poultry keeper. even though he be a
novice. 1t matters not how perfect a
birds comb may be nor how beautiful
its plumage, II 1t does not possess health
and vitality It Is a mistake to retain II
for laying or breeding purposes II is
not difficult to discriminate between
vigorous and physically unfit specimens.
II is not necessary to discard birds
that have disqualifications such as i'm
properly colored plumage. poor combs
and the like. unless the object is to
breed prise-winning specimens. Such
birds Will produce as many eggs a. those
that are perfect from the standpoint of
the show room, and should be retained
as layers, provided they are not used
later in tho breeding pens.
The backyard poultry keeper who
raises q small flock should fatten the
cockerels and pullets that. for one or
more reasons, are not suited for laying
purposes. By following such a plan the
birds can be utilized in the home In
place Of red meat. and the ''backlotte-"
will thereby add his or her "bit" to the
ever-increasing effort to conserve the
red meat which is SO urgently needed
BY our allies.

WIfH THE FIGHTING ALLIED

six hour battle with the Germans late
last night and early this morning, the
Americans captured Bouresches, all
important town, and on front OF six
kilcmeters advanced their line dis
tance Of two kilometers. The attack
followed the fight OF yesterday when
the Americans advanced and strength
ened their lines.
Last nights advance maybe measured
by the fact that when II started our
line was on Lice lie Bocage, and now
il extends along just south TO Belleau
through Bouresches, south to Triangle
and then on slightly irregular line
eastward to Chateau Thierry. This
fighting was done by United States
marines, whose slogan, first to fight,
they consider is now justified because
they played a creditable role in the first
big battle in which the Americans were
concerned, Orders to advance were
given at $ o'clock yesterday afternoon
Advance Was Difficult.
The advance started at once over q
difficult terrain, swept by German ar
tllery and machine guns fire.
The fighting was especially difficult
Though the Bois De Belleau. Here

Experts in the office OF the commits

claim that the new rates made effective
by the company were necessary on ac-

work. The testimony was completed
two weeks ago and the decision Of thu

is in contempt for increasing its rate
will probably be made known late thi
