Gull the Flocks.

Much Of the poultry now raised on
the farm and in the backyard flock Is
not as profitable as 1t should be. The
estimated production Of the average
hen In not over S5 eggs per year. Dur.
Ing 1915 about 1900 hens under close
observation In contest In this country
laid on the average 151 eggs. Since
these hens varied from nothing to Si4
In their production, 1t is evident that
the l5l eggs are not the maximum oh.
taInable. All poultry raisers should
Gull their fiocks and keep only the best
layers. A study Of the principles of
breeding. care and feeding will enable
poultry keepers to accomplish this
result.

Good Manners Tested.

Bad manners often jar severely on
people who are well hammered. A
boor is not likely to suffer much from
the booriahness of others. A sensi-

keenly conscious VI lapses In others

POWDER PACKING PLANT
TO CEASE OPERATIONS

The powder bag loading plant Of the
government, located 1T Washington ak,
y j., has ceased operations rs far as
filling bags with powder is concerned.
There arc very few employees now at
the plant and they are all engaged in
cleaning mp and packing away the fixtures,
machinery and material No decision
has been arrived al by the government
as to what will bc done with the plant
An Of the buildings arc beng locked up
and II bcglns TO look like deserted
village. There are about thirty girls
and fifty mon employed at the plant
now in cleaning and packing mp, and
hv next Saturday most of these Will be
done. The guards Will be kept on for
some timr as there is quite a lot Of powder
and other material in the buildings
The plant cost in the nelghborhood
at two million dollors, and very little
of the powder placed in bags reached
France Most OF it was stored away
There are twelve dormitories there that
cost $1,000 each II is the general
belief that the buildings will be sold
and dlsmantlcd, unless they are used
for caring for wounded soldiers or in
structing returned soldiers in some
work. Work on the plant started last
March and the actual work Of filling
bags with powder started in July, and
at one time 1000 girls and 1000 men
were employed and all were paid big

NEED OF BETTER PAY.

The annual reports Of government
departmental heads are almost unit
in a demand on Congress for funds
with which TO increase salaries. Before
the war clerks could be induced to begin
at 5000; there seems fair agreement that
it will now be necessary To make the
general entrance salary 81 200, though
some 81 900 clerical positions of a minor
sort may be continued.
MIR. McAdoo, referring 10 the painful
situation of heads of families who receive
81 400 or less, estimates 80 per cent in
crease i'll the cost of living since 1914.
In view of housing costs in Washington,
this If conservative. MIR. Rcdfcld speaks,
of salaries of 81 800 or less having been
''cut IN hall within the last two years by
the advance IN prices II is possible for
both man and wife in many families
To serve IN government departments
without great injury to home life. But the
government does an injustice TO itself and
TO it's servants il II continues the meagre
wage of pre-war days.-New York
