Pound Broilers
And Fryers Best

3 Washington, D. C.-Housewives who
wish to help relieve the meat situation
will buy three-pound broilers and fryers
and refuse to use SQUAD chickens weigh
ing a pound, one-half or less, say the
dressed-poultry specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The serving Of underdeveloped or SQUAD
chickens in hotels, restaurants and homes,
they regard as unpatriotic because such
chickens. il kept for four weeks longer,
Including two weeks of crate fleshing,
will weigh about three pounds. Moreover,
under proper feeding. the chicken makes
the extra flesh largely from such by
products not ordinarily used for human
food. as buttermilk, sour milk, skim milk
and low grade, grains.

the Snakes
And Hawks and Owls
(By James n. Collinal

(By James H. Collinsl
A Kansas. farmer recently. printed In
the Abilene Register, that state. the fol-
lowing advertisement: A
"NoticeH have put q bull snake in
my alfalfa field north Of town 10 catch
the gophera. Please do not bother him or
shoot at him, as he is a good, well-be-
haved snake and harmless except TO goph'
ers and mice"
Whereupon Eastern newspapers clipped
IT'S as a piece Of humor.
But there Is q very definite food-saving
idea here. All over the country we have
harmless snakes, capable Of rendering the
utmost service provided they are left
alone. But even country people find II
difficult to let harmless snakes follow,
unmolested, a snakes legitimate business.
There is a certain big black snake
throughout the East common in fields and
around f~arnhouses. He is not only harm
less but whenever one sees him about
the premises he is diligently at work
catching mice or cleaning up refuse. But
he looks deadly enough to the inexperi-
enced eye, and moreover. has an unfor-
tunate curiosity. When he hears a horse
coming down a field row hitched to a
cultivator, guided by a boy, his natural
desire to know what is coming leads him
to raise a quarter of his length from the
ground and look. and nine times in ten
the boy stoys the horse and vfrtuously
~slaughters Mr.. Snake. thus killing a mou-
ser capable Of catching far more rodents
than any tAbby cat
1t is the same with hawks and owls.
The owner Of a flock Of hens sees an enor-
nous hawk sailing over the barnyard and
brings it down with a rifle, believing that
he has destroyed an enemy. But only two
varieties of hawks in this country prey
upon hens, and neither Of them sails over
the barnyard in that manner, for their
line Of attack is stealthy, through trees
and brush.
Likewise. with owls. which arp most
persistent destroyers OF small hnimais
harmful to crops and foodstuffsA There
vas a campaign Of owl and 9hwk kill
ing through the East some years ago,
which went far enough to upset the bal
ance OF nature locally and bring on a
perfect plague Of mice. When disease
reduced the number of coyotes in the
Northwest, some years ago, the farmers
joy at what they considered relief iftom q
pest was soon turned into alarm, as a
plague of jackrabbits and gophers FOL
lowed, the chief food Of the coyote.
In the conservation of food we need
these helpers, not merely in war, but per
:nanently, IN the production and conserva-
ton Of food.
II the snakes, owls and hawks were
able to write and vote, they would prob.
ably undertake a campaign of education
on their own behalf, for better public IN
Outstanding, or seek protective laws IN
As man is the only writing
and voting animal, it is clearly his duty
to understand the snakes. owls and hawks

ILLINOIS CAMPFIRE GIRLS ACTIVE

There are $4,000 Campfire Girls In the
state Of Illinois. and the new war program
which they have recently issued has had
the approval Of President Wilson. The
girls have achieved important practical re-
suits in knitting wooden comforts for the
soldiers, the wool having been supplied
mainly by the Red Cross, and the fin
ished garments returned to that source.
The Campfire girls or Chicago have con-
trihuted between $500 and $1,000 for Red
Cross work within recent months. The
Chicago girls are divided into three groups
and each group is caring for a Belgian
family for five years.
