EARLY HATCHINe is DESIRED
at will Increase Number and Size Of
Fowls and to Farmer II Means
Much Larger Profits.

%Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
To the country at large early hatch
ing by every chicken raiser means
much. Early Matching will increase
the number and size of fowls and the
number Of eggs produced next year.
1t will mean bigger birds and birds
that will lay in the winter months.
ITO the Individual farmer 1t means
more profit. He will get more chickens.
as a larger proportion will live; he
will get more actual meat, not only be-
cause more win live but because his
chickens will be larger; and he will
get more eggs, when eggs are scarce,
for early hatched pullets will lay in
the winter.
The recognized Importance Of food
In the greatest war makes 1t seem that
the hen must take her place among
those who are helping to win 1t for the
forces of democracy. This place viii
be an important one in proportion to
the response this year to the call for
increase chicken and egg production
TThe hen, Of course, always has shown
"a willingness TO do her duty, and
doubtless she is willing now. All that
Us to be done is for her masters, the
FARMERS of the nation and the city
dwellers who are helping on back
yard scale, to make sure that the hens
opportunity win not be neglected.

GET EGGS AND MEAT
FROM KITCHEN WASTE

D., (Prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
In every household, no matter
how economical the housewife,
there is a certain amount of ta-
BILE scraps and kitchen waste
which has feeding value, but
which If not fed, finds Ats way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of do
nestle animals which is suitable
for converting this waste mate
rial, right where it is produced
in the city, into wholesome and
nutritious food in the form of
eggs and poultry meat.
Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs.
The average size of the back
yard flock should be at least ten
hens. Thus each flock would
produce in a year 100 dozen eggs
which, at the conservative value
of 25 cents a dozen, would be
worth $25.
By keeping a backyard poul-
try flock the family would not
only help in reducing the cost of
living but would have eggs Of
quality and freshness which are
often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced
by the backyard flock cost very
little, as the fowls are fed large
ly upon waste materials.

Chippy Chappy said this with a sly
little wink. But Sharpy did not notice
It. He was feeling hungry himself.
"Come along, afternoon or not, wen

So they went to Sharp's hole, and of

"You say steal, and you say I don't

And they began to fight. AS a mat.

RECORD POTATO CROP MUST
BE CONSUMED OR WASTED

Our potato crop last year is
estimated to have been 1885,
600 bushels--the largest ever
produced in the United States.
This crop cannot be carried over
the 1913 season. 1t must be con-
sumed or wasted. The food situ-
alton throughout the world de-
mands that 1t be consumed eff
fectively to relieve the existing
strain on the supply of cereals.
1t is the one great food resource
of the world upon which there ia
now danger of heavy loss.
The department of agriculture
Is Of the opinion that the situa-
tion demands that farmers sell
freely; that the larger dealers
move their stocks rapidly; that
the retailer content himself with
the smallest possible margin of
profit. realizing that he is now
the most important factor in
speeding up potato consumption;
and that consumers buy and eat
literally Of this plentiful food.

SAVE A LITTLE
SUGAR TO-DAY.
Use Sweet Fruits.

Sugar consumption in many
households can be easily low
cred not only by giving prefer
ence to dishes which contain lit
tie sugar or with which sugar
is not usually served, but also
by the use Of sweet fruits. For
instance, fresh fruits or baked
apples may serve instead of
sweet puddings, or a salad in
place of dessert. Sweet, dried
fruits such as dates, raisins or
igs served with breakfast ce-
reals will reduce the sugar
