LETTER FROM
ALBERT BRACEWELL
France, August Z, 1918

France. August Z, 1918
Ny dear Mother:
1 do not know what you think of
me for not writing for so long but
circumstances have been such that
it was impossible If l had written it
would not have gone out This will
probably have to wait awhile.
We have had some strenuous days
lately, but we are behind the lines
now and are soon to get our long
looked for and well earned rest, for
we hayYe had almost six months con-
tinuous work in the trenches and
the later part was nightmare.
There are about half of us left. Ar
thur Linck was wounded; two pieces
of shapnel lin his leg, but one was
Just under the skin and l don't think
the other broke any bones as l help
ed take him to the hospital. Bill Ho-
man is all o. K. and l think that is
all the boys you know that We're
with me.
The Y. NJ. C. A. truck just came
I'D and of us had IL cans of peach
es and as many packages of cookies
so l may have the 'tummy' ache soon
1 have been a litter bearer up I'M
til the last few days, carrying the
wounded off the lines, but am now
our Luit. runner. That is to carry
messages etc.
l have been getting your letters
quite regularly, also a good many
9th rs from friends. Certainly am
thankful for that, for they are the
only connection with the world it
seems at times. l hear from a lady
in Boise who writes very interesting
letters and sends me some maya
zines. 1 wish you would subscribe for
the Literary Digest and the Outlook
and have them sent direct to me.
l get hungry for something to readt
Do you remember Bill Stroid, the
boy whom 1 am getting my home
stead with, and Shaw, dark com
plexioned boy that was on the bridge
guard with me. They were both
wounded Shaw pretty bad. Don't let
all the bad news scare you for it
Is all over for us for some time and
it may never be so bad again for
We We've fighting in open warfare
which calls for lots of loss of life
against these modern war machines.
l don't blame them for digging in.
Well, IN close for now,'
Albert Bracewell.

FEEDING AND
SELECTING HENS

/ A few weeks ago Mr.. D. C. Smith
of Boise gave a most interesting
and instructive talk on poultry at
the Fruitland High School. Mr.. Smith
has a flock of 500 hens and during
the last years has steadily increas-
ed his holdings even tho everything
has to be purchased. 1t has all been
made from the profits resulting from
careful feeding and constant culling
OF many fowls.
FEEDING y
Mr.. Smith finds the U. Jersey feed
formula best adapted and tries to
closely follow it. Hens require a Ger
tain amount of protein to build the
egg whites and where he buys every
thing he finds beef scrap the best
for this. The complete formula is
corn or wheat lob, oats Bib, alfal-
ia leaves or bran 2-lb., beef scrap Il
lb. or total feed unit of 1e-Ibs., cost
ing between &c. and 4c per pound.
with alfalfa leaves so important in
poultry feeding the County Agent I
would suggest that these be gather
ed from around the hay stack and
bagged for winter use.) This practi-
cal poultryman says that selection Of
fowls Is cheaper than high priced
feeds. In selecting keep the follow
ing rules in mind:
1. Discard those slow to feather
and lacking in vitality.
2. Keep the pullets which mature
quickly and start laying first.
8. Keep late moulters.
A. Keep the birds with rather
arge plump combs and wattles.
5. Hens with pale vents, beaks,
and legs have been good layers.
6. The best layers possess soft
abdomens
Z. The pelvic bones must be thin, :
straight, flexible, and at least two
fingers between.
8. Discard those with thick abdo- :
mems which hang down below the In
,oint of the breast bone.
8. Keep the hustlers and heavy 7
alters that go to roost late with a
ull crop.
10. Those with long toe nails that
how no signs OF. being hustlers are {
sually Improbable. Q
IL. If a bird meets the above re- :
uirements it should also have a +
road back, long body, stoutly built 2
nd IN good flesh. n
IL. Those not moultiDg with small \
ried up whitish combs, or with thick S
r crooked pelvic bones pointing in \
re- money losers. +
Mr.. Smith believes the poultry feed +
ituation will adjust itself by Oct. 10,
NO that good fowls will be money F
makers this coming season. He stat r
d that ranchers should grow their r
WI corn supply, sunflowers and oats.
4 this way the food supply is certain
nd at less cost than where a profit
paid to some other producer.
1t is possible that when State
oultryman Luce returns to Idaho
his month that he will give Pay
tie County much of his time and
clip toward lettering poultry condi-
ous. We certainly have secured
luch from his substitute, Mr. Smith, \
,ho gave the above facts with refer
nee to feeding and culling.
