Immediate Relief Possible.

The man who has two hens to every
member Of his family will have little
trouble in solving his meat problems.
The fresh eggs that are so desirable
in every home will be his the year
round. He can renew his flock an
nually. and the surplus stock will
give the rleht kind of supplement
and in right proportions to his scant
ration of other meats.
A hen can multiply herself many
times annuallv. Allowing only so per
cent of her eggs t, hatch. it is pos

one bird in one year.
Suppose -. produces fifty
months old they will weigh eight
pounds apiece-a total of 400 pounds.
Within one reproductive season this
mother hen has produced meat equal
to fifty times the weight of her own
body. If beef COW weighing 1000
have to produce fifty beef cattle
weighing 1000 pounds apiece. or a
total of so 900 pounds of beef in
twelve months.
The ouickness of maturity of poul-
try meat is a matter of prime i'm
portance. It makes the domestic fowl
the best food friend the average man
can possibly have. She will lay one
c-~ nhc"t FIVE davs of every seven
during the laying season. He can
use the eggs as meat substitutes, or

Hope in Home Poultrymen.
A small flock is profitable even
though grain is 5 cents pound. The
fact is. the keeping of fowls has be-
come a skilled art in this country.
We do not board hens all winter in
order to get few eggs in spring and
summer. We gather eggs all winter
and all spring and all summer "and
then some"
There are literally thousands of idle
henhouses in backyards all over the
land. 1t is as much the patriotic duty
of the American people to get these
houses filled with fowls as it is the
duty of our boys in khaki to cross the
waters and risk their lives in the
trenches of the western front.
We are willing to observe meatless
meals and meatless days. It is even
largest bit in easy and delightful and
profitable production of the best meat
in the world. That means poultry
culture this year on the largest scale
We can do this Will we do it? We
are hungry, our soldiers are hungry.
and our allies are hungry, for the
meat which we millions of backyard
ers can produce this summer. Will
we do it?

HENS TO REP[EN|SH
OUR MEAT SUPPLIES
Meat Scarcity Makes Back.
Yard Poultry Plants Neces-
sary to Supply Shortage.

The man who has not felt the wide
spread and distressing scarcity of
meat during the last two years must
be a vegetarian.
Ninety-fve of every 100 of our peo-
pie have become painfully conscious
of this serious shortage. Meat was
big factor in our home rations from
our earliest boyhood.
Charles J. Brand. chief of the United
States bureau of markets. says that
1.-The most careful and conservative
estimate is that there has been
decrease since August. 1914. Of more
than III, 900, 900 head Of cattle. hogs
and sheep" This is serious when we
remember that there are not that
many men, women and children in
this country Europe has been kill
ing off her beef, pork and mutton al
most to the point of annihilation. We
have cut down our meat consumption
from Washington. But this saving
has been promptly transferred to the
starving millions of Europe.
But we must think of more than our
own home needs. Already we have
fifteen hundred thousand men in the
ITdhIlHR Camps anu oll lhS FiChtii
battle lines. The soldiers of our
allies have the same kind of appetites
as our own khaki-clad millions. Meat
must be supplied. 1t can be supplied.
It's up to America.
Poultry Logical Substitute.
The "chicken dinner" can't be
beaten the world over. The man who
will complain of lack of meat while
his plate is well filled with tender
white layers from the breast of a
juicy roaster should be branded an
ungrateful Stacker. Heretofore we
have thought of this delicious dish
as a luxury because of it's superior
quality as an article of food and the
impossibi!ity of getting as much of
it as the people have desired. 1t is
now our privilege and our duty to
produce SO many fowls that the
chicken dinner will be the common
everyday fare of the average Amer
ican.
The egg has long been necessity
to right. cookery: We have usually
in every well ordered kitchen. There
fore. when prices became prohibitive
because of recent scarcity, our house
wives became straightway not only
confused, but hot with anger. Condi-
tions have become much worse dur
ing the last twelve months. High
prices of chicken feed have driven
from so to so per cent of American
poultry producers out of the business.
Poultry and eggs must come back.
They can come back. We must bring
them back. The trick is being turned
all over the land. The flesh of our do
mestic f1ocks can easily be made
available in thousan of tons to take
the place of beef and pork and NUT
ton.

Better Behaved Than at Home.

What of the morals of this new
American Army? There are afioat in
the states stories of terrible moral
collapse among the soldiers. Drunk
enness and venereal disease are re-
ported to be devastating the men,
even as they have done in armies in
times past. Every American is keen
ly interested in this point. II our
own men have suffered shipwreck in
their characters and their bodies as
result of the war. 1t avails the
world little that we shall have broken
Prussianism. America cannot be re-
conciled to a demoralized genera
tion of young men as a consequence
of an adventure which in itself is
the knightliest expression of chivalry
in the worlds history. And il the
sensational reports to this effect are
true. it becomes the duty of an honest
journalist to say so.
But they are not true. i may sum
