SOLDIERS.

In it, work Of ministering to the
social. recreational and religious vel
fare Of the boys and young men Of
this city and county who have enlist
ed in the National Army, the Y. N !.
C. A. is now expanding q total Of
81, 100000 month. These together
with other interesting figures on the
scope Of the work are contained in 8
bulletin just received from the Ma
tional War Work Council.
According to the statement Of the
Council, the "home" side of army
camp life is being maintained AMONG
the hundreds of thousands Of soldier
boys both in the United States and in
France. At the present time there
are 1900 Y. NJ. C. A. workers with
the expeditionary forces in France
and England and 5000 other workers
in American camps.
The Y. NJ. G.. A. has been asked
by Gen. Pershing to take over the en-
tire canteen system with the Amer
lean army in France, and this will re-
quire the services of more than 5000
volunteer workers alone. An effort
is now being made to secure at least
1000 business and professional men
Of high standing who will go to
France for all sorts of Y. M. C. A.
service before July 1.
1t is estimated that 100000 feet
of film are being exhibited weekly to
the soldiers at home and abroad. A
recent shipment of athletic equipment
for the troops in France consisted of
1880 base-balls, 10000 bats, 10000
gloves and mitts, boxing gloves, vol
ley balls and various other kinds of
apparatus for promoting the play
spirit among the troops in their
leisure hours.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has established
a chain of huts and dugouts along
the front lines occupied by American
troops "over there" and is meeting
the needs of the Sammies as they
take their places in the Lorraine
trenches. The Y. M. C. A. huts on
the Russian front have been de-
molished by German guns and the $50
secretaries there have retired before
the advance of the Huns and are now
established in Siberia awaiting an op-
portunity to return to Russia.

POULTRY IN
BACK YARDS
eseseessessssseseeses

Poultry and eggs have never been
cheap food for the city dweller, and
there is no hope that they can be, dur
ing the continuance Of the war and
Its necessarily attendant high prices,
even as relatively cheap as they have
ordinarily been. The only possibility
of cheap eggs for the city family, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, lies In keeping
enough hens in the back yard. where
they can be supported principally on
Kitchen waste, TO supply the family ia
bic. The keeping of hens in back
yards Is at once an economic OppOr-
tunity, for city families and an essen
tial part of the campaign for increas-
ing poultry production.
What may be done with fowls in a
back yard depends upon the size of
the yard. the character Of the SOIL the
conditions of sunlight, shade and ven
tilation, and the interest and skill Of
the poultry keeper. The smallest and
Rast favOrably situated back yard af
fords an opportunity to keep at least
enough hens to supply eggs for the
household. The number of hens need
ed for that purpose is twice the num-
Der of persons to be supplied. Hence
the smallest flock to be considered con-
sists of four hens. Where hens ore
kept only to furnish eggs for the table
no male bird is needed.
4 coop for flock of four hens
should have an area of about 20 square
feet, or about five feet per hen. For
larger ffocks the space allowance per
bird may be little less, because the
space is used In common and each bird
has the use of all the coop except
what her companions actually occupy.
For the ordinary flock Of 10 to II hens
the space allowance should be about
four square feet per hen.
With proper care the backyard poul-
try keeper can keep hens, for laying
only. combining them continuously TO
their cOopS, and have them lay well
nearly as long as they would be prof
liable layers under natural conditions.
While hens like freedom, good feed
and care reconcile them to confine-
ment, and mature. rugged birds often
lay more eggs in close confinement
than when at liberty.
If the space admits of giving the
little backyard flock more room than
Il coop of the minimum size required,
the condition of the land will deter
mine the form In which the additional
space should be given. If the soil is
well drained and free from such filth
as often contaminates the soil of small
back yards, yard for the fowls may
he fenced in, allowing 90 to 80 square
feet of yard room per bird. The OPP
portunity for exercise on the land and
in the open air which this gives the
hens will benefit them and make life
for them more interesting.
If the soil is poorly drained and foul.
the hens will thrive and lay better If
not allowed on it at all. In that case,
the best way to give them some benefit
of the extra space available is to build
adjoining the coop q shed covering
about the same amount of ground and
having the front inclosed only with
wire netting. The foul earth under
this shed should be removed and the
floor filed in few inches higher than
the old surface with fresh earth or
sand.
