When Chickens Are Best.

Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, Of course, must
take first place. They are best adapted
to general conditions, take a wider
range of feeds and convert them, per-
haps, with the greatest margin Of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9TH
err class of poultry, utilize table scraps
and the general run of waste from the
Kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk.
Chickens far surpass all other kinds
of poultry In salvaging waste grain
from the stables, from the shed or lot
where the cattle are fed. and from hog
pens. During the winter months, on
farms where any considerable number
Of live stock are kept. the hens would
take their living from these sources
with only slight additional feeding
from time to time. Chickens are great
destrOyers of insects.

Wars Need for Good Cows.

The profitable dairy cow helps to
feed our armed forces and will help us
win the war, hut the lOw-producing,
Improbable scrub is little better than
Stacker. The Improbable COW may
enjoy perfect health and have a large
appetite; she may even belong to one
Of the best COW families, but IL she is
not an economical producer she should
be converted into meat.
The present, however, is not the time
to dispose of dairy herds; rather 1t is
the time to enlarge and improve them.
The city, the country, and the army
need more dairy products; the dairy
COW also assists greatly In maintaining
permanent soil fertility; and the care
fully selected, well-bred, well-fed dairy
COW may still be kept Mt a profit. Let
the slogan, therefore, be: Careful Sc
lection, intelligent breeding. and skill
full feeding.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-05-17
How Good Cows PAY.

1t Is we'll known that dairy cows, to
he profitable, must be comparatively
large producers, yet few people fully
realize the remarkable rate at which
income advances as production in
creases. Tabulations of 5,5S7 cow-test-
ing association records from various
parts of the United States, covering n
period of four years, show that as the
average butterfat production increased
from $50 to 200 pounds, the income
over cost of feed advanced from $21
to $34 that Is, gain of so pounds, or
1914 per cent, in production gave an
increased income of 81 per cent over
feed cost. The next gain of so pounds
raised the income over cost Of feed to
$50, the next to 500, the next to STA,
the next to $S7, the next to 500, and
the last to $11S.
AS the butterfat production increased
from $50 pounds to 300 pounds, the in
come over cost of feed advanced from
S21 to 1853; in other words, as produc-
ton doubled, income over cost Of feed
advanced three times. When the but
terfat production increased from loo
pounds to $50 pounds-that Is, trebled
the income over cost Of feed adj
vanced from sol to 500, or almost five
times as much.

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants Of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extenut in the EN-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the 'half-mount-
ed" (two) the gentleman every inch
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwell's soldiers, who, IL
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin Breeches," or "Squireens."
The second class was composed of
descendants Of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(fOr rebellion or other reasons), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for living. In trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbone"-comprised the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains.

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION
Supplies Food Material More Econom.
ically Than Meat or Eggs
Efficient Dairy Cow.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first Is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
err with the growth producing elements
more economically than either meat or
eggs. The second reason Is that the
dairy cow is the most economical pro-
Queer Of animal food. One great law
of food conservation is to turn inedible
feeds into edible foods In the cheap
est possible manner. The dairy COW
will utilize coarse materials, inedible
by humans. such as grass, cornstalks'
hay, ETC., and will turn them into milk.
which is suitable for human food.
Other farm animals also are convert
ers of coarse roughage into edible
foods, but are not 30 efficient as the
dairy COW.
