Gasless Sundays

NJ. L. ReQua. director OF the oil divi-
sion of the fuel administration, who de-
livered an address before stationary
and marine engineers at Cooper Union
Saturday night, talked about the fuel
oil shortage, including gasoline and
kerosene. While there is a shortage in
both these oils. the cause, Mr.. Requa
said. was not so much due to the excess
of consumption over production as to
the lack of ships to bring oil from Mexi-
co. In other words, if allied tonnage
were not carrying other freight, or if
enough Of the tonnage could be diverted
TO oil Carrying, the shortage would dis
appear quickly. "At present and for
some time past" said Mr.. Reoua. I'VE
are getting only about 100000 barrels of
oil day from Mexico. Had we the
ships we could bring easily 10000 bar
rels day, which would correct the
shortage. What we need most is gaso-
line and next. kerosene. the kerosene
largely for farm tractors. The gaso-
lineless Sundays win not last much
longer. We asked the people to refrain
from using motor vehicles for pleasure
on Sundays. and the response has en-
abled US already to send to France 10
cargo boats carrying 5000 barrels each,
and that helped lot. l think the gaso-
line situation will be so well in hand
that the gasolineless Sundays will end
about the middle OF October."-Bath

Last year the production Of perish

cent greater than normal. Notwith-
standing the large output, the market

than In former years because Of the
effective efforts of the people through
out the country, assisted by federal
and state agencies, to conserve these
products for future use by canning.

department is again actively assisting
in the conservation of perishables. rs
it did last summer, and is able to rem
der more effective assistance with Its
largely increased staff. More effective
assistance also Is being rendered In
the marketing of perishable products
through the greatly extended daily
market news service of the bureau of

Ducks for Meat and Eoos.

The Pekin breed is kept almost ex-
clusively by producers of green ducks,
and also on many farms where they
are grown for meat. They fatten rap
idly and may be fed on rations recon-
mended for chickens, but better re-
suits are usually secured by feeding
more green and vegetable feeds and
u larger proportion of mash.
For the general farmer who is more
interested In obtaining eggs than pro-
ducing meat the Indian Runner is a
good breed. This duck holds the same
relative position i'm the duck family
that the Leghorn does I'm the chicken
family. 1t lays good-sized white egg
considerably larger than n hens egg,
and is declared to be small eater,
good forager, and hardy. The intro
duction of this breed is helping to
build up trade of first-class duck
eggs. These eggs should be marketed

A well-drained site should be select
ed for the hog house and, If possible,
there should be sufficient elevation to
give the hogs climb In reaching 1t.
Ii practicable the house should occupy
the south side of hill.
Principles of construction: -Four i'm
portant things should be observed in
hog house construction; namely, light,
ventilation, warmth, and cleanliness.
Light is provided by placing the house
along north and south line and by
putting in suitable doors and windows.
Doors, windows, and roof ventilation
furnish proper interchange of air.
Hogs need good ventilation as well as
people. A well-constructed house with
good floor and bedding provides sufii-
cient warmth.
Make Quarters Comfortable.
Let it be remembered that the hog
has little natural protection from cold ;
hence the necessity for comfortable
