stated. The pier property taken over by
the Government for war purposes covers
nearly a mile of water front and fur

HOUSE HENS NOW
PulIets Should Get Accustomed
to Winter Quarters Early.
ID. p. Beaudry Will Discuss
Problems Here Monday Night.

A meeting of the Topeka Poultry
association will be held Monday even
ing, November IS, at the Chamber of
Commerce. Anyone interested in
poultry raising is invited, and ques-
tions will be answered from those
desiring information on methods OF
chicken raising.
d. p. Beaudry Is the local represen-
tative for the government poultry
campaign being carried on by the
United States department of aSricul-
ture in cooperation with the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
House Pullets Now.
Beaudry, advising poultry ralsers'
says:
lat this season of the year the main
point Is to have strong, well matured
pullets housed in their winter quarters.
SO that they may become accustomed
to their new quarters before time Tor
them to begin laying. Moving the birds
from place to place has a tendency TO
retard the egg yield. Early housing
more profits and early spring hatch
ing. 1t Is the early Matched chickens
that pay, and the early housed pullet
that lays.
Even tho the war is won. our boys
and our allies will still need our best
efforts in food production. The pro-
duction of eggs and poultry meat Is
curtailed ~ ailments which attack
chickens and which could be avoided
by care in keeping their quarters clean
and sanitary. Every known disease
and pest Of poultry can be avoided by
cleanliness.
Give Them Fresh Water.
Drinking water should be Kept
fresh and put out in clean and fire.
uuently scalded vessels. Weakhngs
should not be kept in the flock. They

Questions regarding any phase OF
poultry raising will be answered al
