ovER-FEEDrNG OF POULTRY.
A Frequent Source Of Loss in Marketing
of Fowls

To correct frequent source Of loss in
marketing poultry, the state food ad
ministration requests producers not "a
oyer-feed fowls just before offering them
for sale. This practice is especially bad
in warm weather, when it often causes
sickness and even death.
Feed given poultry closely confined in
crates should not exceed one ounce OF
grain or other dry feed for every two
pounds Of live weight, Persons are some.
times tempted TO feed fowls heavily just
before marketing, in the hope of receiy'
ing poultry prices for the feed contained
in the birds crops But in actual prac-
tice, this is a loss both in money and
food. Birds frequently die in farmers
wagons, but more often shortly after
they are delivered In either case loss
is sustained which is ultimately reflected
back to producers.
Poultry in crates is unable to exercise
More than that, the watering cups are
seldom adequate for all the fowls in the
crate, either from lack of attention, eyap.
oration,. losses from spilling or several
of these causes combined.
Feed consequently cakes in the over
full crops, causing sickness and death,
In warm weather, heavy feeding also re.
suits in over-heating and is another
cause of mortality.
The food administration points out
the desirability of more water and less
feed for poultry just before marketing.
Experienced poultry handlers have recog-
nized the soundness of this request and
during hot weather give their fowls an
abundance of ciean water but mere
maintenance ration. This practice has
greatly reduced losses in handling live
poultry

Landing at French Port.

The rescued men were hurried to this
port, where they were transferred
from the destroyer to a lighter which
is used to bring troops ashore from
the transports to the dock. 1t was an
impressive and rather pathetic sight.
The lighter, which ordinarily is
crowded with men perfectly equipped
in khaki. was now loaded with blue
Jackets hatless and coatless.
Many of them wore overalls and life
vests and a, few carried p-ecious per-
sonal articles. Fully half of the crew
seemed to be ba-efooted. In sections
they formed on the dock and marched
a few steps to waiting trucks. Hos
pital ambulances and base cars dis
tributed the officers among the hotels
and took the men to the marine bar
racks, so that in a few minutes the
dock was cleared.
In the chateau there was a great
stir in finding quarters for the guests
and supplying them with clothing and
food. No one ate until all the survi-
vors were well supplied. Brother blue
Jackets even gave soap and towels to
the newcomers. Each regular in the
barracks adopted a survivor Just as
the marines on the land front adopt
French orphans. On the steps of the
chateau a Navy band played stirring
music, which cheered the sailors as If
by magic. 1t caused their countenances
to relax from the strain, and the
men even smiled as they applauded the
ragtime melody. 4

AT A FRENCH SEA PORT, July
11.-Additional details of the shaking
by a German submarine of the United
States ship Covington July 1 may now
be given with the consent of the CEN
sorship, after a weeks delay. 1t was
just at dusk a week ago Monday that
a wireless message was received at
this port announcing the disaster.
Since the message said that the ship
was still afloat, though listing heav-
lily, all the Americans in this port
hoped to see the vessel towed into the
harbor. as in the case of the Finland.
Unfortunately the Covington sank de-
spite the efforts of the captain, who
remained aboard until the last minute.
The crew acted without reproach
and manned the boats in good order,
launching them all safety. There were
few men in the water aside from some
who were safe on RATS.

"The United States has been COM
pelled to conserve certain mmodities
indispensably required for its own use
and for the use of the governments
associated with it In the war. which.
in normal times, would be Permitted
to be freely exported from the United
States to Mexico. but as result of
the efforts of the United States govern
ment to stimulate production, the list
of such conserved articles will grad
ually contract, and conditions of trade
and Intercourse between the two coun-
tries will, 1t is hoped, soon become
normalized.
I'm taking this friendly position to-
ward Mexico, tho United States gov
ernment has no doubt that the Mexi-
can government will continue to al
low commodities not imperatively
needed in Mexico to be exported to the
United States, and will not permit the
commodities of food received from the
United States or similar commodities
and food to be exported to other coun-

DO NOT WASTE MILK.

As a matter of conservation and to encourage the dairy industry of Arizo- na the Food Administration is encour- aging the use of milk as a substantial article of diet.
 There is an abundance of milk at this season of the year, it is pointed out, and not a drop of it should be wasted. It should be made into cot tage cheese. Cottage cheese is as much a food as beefsteak and is not merely a relish. Here is one way to make it:
 Heat one quart of sour milk to 100 degrees, luke warm) and turn into a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Pour over one quart hot water, and as soon as water has drained through, pour over another quart, then repeat Gather cheesecloth around curd to form bag, and let hang until curd is free from whey. Moisten with melted butter and heavy cream, and salt to, suit taste. Shape into small balls.

 Open air schools to the number of nearly 800 are now maintained all over the United States. Some of them this winter in the northern states will hold sessions when the thermometer is down to zero or below. Others will enjoy the balmy winds of Southern California. Louisiana or Alabama

The Story That PriUate Leach Told

 Good old chap" said Private Leach. You've been knocked about a bit yourself, eh?" He touched the dogs ear where a recent hurt had left a scarcely healed scar.
 And then the rascal had seized Pri vate Leach's cap and made of with it toward the lines, paying no serious attention to the wounded mans re- monstrances.

 Private Leach sat on a sunny bench in the small courtyard of the con- valescent hospital and explained mat ters to a compatriOt, likewise recover ing from the effects of bOche courtesy.

T say, there" called Private Leach, sitting up weakly, "where you goin' with me blinkin' 'at?"
 The dog cast a look back across his shoulder, wagged his tail pleasantly and continued to trot away, carrying Private Leach's cap in his jaws.
 IFS got a bloomin' cheek, not 'alf" observed Private Leach and lay down again. What difference did it make? He had clicked a bullet in his righ thigh, and, what with the loss of blood and pain and hunger and all, chap might as well "go west" without a cap as with one. Now that he'd managed to get a dressing on the wound and a bandage to hold the dressing in place, the bleeding was less, but the end of the smashed bone was grinding in the torn flesh. It wasn't a bit cushy, out there in No Mans Land, six hours in a shell hole with busted leg.
 The dog had popped up from no- where at all, with his alert eyes and sensitive, searching nose. Girt tight ly about his body was the broad white band bearing the flaming sign of the Red Cross. He stood quite still while Private Leach painfully unfastened the first aid package from his back and, still more painfully, applied the disin- fectant, gauge pads and clean cotton tincture.

Nearly $2. JOOOOG has been raised b, 1 Red Cross Christmas Seals in the las!

 the charity stamp idea originated.
 | It was war that brought forth the charity stamp-our Civil war Of 'G1 tl

 selling stamps at fairs for the benefit
 of the relief funds for the soldier; i hospitals in Brooklyn. Boston and |, elsewhere. Nearly S1.OOO.O0O was rais-
 ed in this way before 1SG5. After the
 war this method of raising money was
 discOntinuSl in this country for a gen

 Russia, Sweden and other European
 countries. There are now several
 thousands of different types of charity

 Stamps or seals were first used to

 1904. To Jacob RiiS. the we'll known social worker of New York. and to Miss Emily r.

In 1907 Mir RiiS's interest was aroused by the receipt of Christmas tuberculosis stamp on letter from Norway. He published am article about this queer looking stamp in the Out look and suggested some possible uses for it in this country.

Chairman Rosenberg has requested all persons to cooperate with the Liberty Loan committee in the imme- diate removal of all literature pertain ing to the Third Liberty Loan.
 This is a pertinent point that should be observed by all in regard to the placing and removal of advertising matter, as the coming and going of the different campaigns should be pointed out and they cannot be if the old posters are allowed to remain in the many windows and places of business. Therefore it is the urgent request of the committee that all persons will please remove all advertising matter in time for the different campaigns that will arise in the future.
