FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

Egg production is largely question
Of breeding, according to Harold II.
Amos, superintendent of the Kansas
State Agricultural college poultry
farm. Eggs from winter layers should
be selected for Matching purposes.
Under natural conditions no eggs
were laid in the winter months. Arti-
fetal methods have been rnSorted to
until by proper selection and manage
ment large number of eggs can be
had during the coolest months Of the
year.
Feeding and care have great deal
10 do with winter egg production. O.
greater Importance. however, is selec-
ton and breeding. 1t has been deter
mined by careful observation that, gen
orally speaking. the hens that make
the best records during the fall and
winter months are the best all year
layers.
All hens will lay fairly we'll in
March. April and May. The poor lay
ers seldom, if ever, lay in those months
when prices are the highest. They are
not economical producers and should
not be kept as breeding stock.
Where possible breeding pens should
be maintained during the hatchin%
season. All poor layers, undavelOped
pullets, and otherwise imperfect birds
should be discarded prior to the breed
ing season if satisfactory results are
to be expected.
Early Matched chicks are the most
profitable both for meat and for egg
production. They are the most easily
raised because while they are yOuns
they are not subjected to the cloudy,
rainy weather which comes later III
the spring. They are usually more
vigorous. Later chicks have higher
rate of mortality due to the eXtremel%
hot weather and the presence OF Il
greater number of parasites.
General purpose breeds should be
Matched not late- than the last of April
if the pullets are to be developed for
egg production the following fall and
winter. The young cOckercls Gn be
disposed of as brOilers at much better
prices than those of later matches.
With strictly egg breeds, it is not
advisable to hatch before the middle of
March. as they will often begin to lay
early and go into mott about the first
Of January.

Declares United States

That the United States can inGe-

necessities after the war is predicted
by Prof. D. =. Jackson o. the Column
hia university department Of chemical
engineering. He Says that ut present
the country is manufacturing dye
equal in amount to normal cOnsump-
ton. and that the number of colOrs
produced is constantly increasing.

Professor Jackson, eve can manufac-
ture on competitive basis practical

now import. Cheap Labor s no. a fac
tor Of Importance. The tremendous
advantage which Germany had at tho
beginning of the war has taken more
than three years to cOunteract, ana thu
result has been an awakening in other
countries to the necessity of further
ing the chemical and metallurgical in
duStrieS in every possible way. The
Germans have for many years realized
the grave necessity of furtherinG the
work Of the chemist and the chemi-
cal engineer for warfare as well a:
for the necessities of industry il
times of peace. They knew that by
developing their enormous color estab-
IishmcntS they We're producing fac
tories which could readily be changed
over to explosive works in times Of
war. They realized that the indus
tries for the fixatiOn of nitrogen used
in fertilizers in time of peace also
could be used for production of enor-
nous quantities of picric acid and tri
nitrotOluol in wartime"

AMERICAN SOLDIERS may SOON DRAW
FUNDS FROM ANY D|SDURS|MG OFFICER

The soldier would have the ad-
vantage Of being able at all times
and under all circumstances 10 draw
something from any quartermaster
in whose district he might find him
self.
The proposed system would elm
mate the present necessity OF having
on hand each soldiers service re-
cord whenever he draws any money.
The service record system. designed
for times Of peace. does not take In
to account the frequent shifts which
all military men must be prepared
for. In many instances nowadays
II works hardships on individual
men who are transferred faster than
their service records can follow them
and who consequently cannot draw
their money when It Is due. merely
because the formalities cannot be
complied with.
The proposed new system appeals
as specially advantageous for camps
where there are constantly large
numbers Of ''casuals"-strays be-
longing to dozens and scores Of or
ganisations waiting to Join their out
fits yet unable to draw what money
Is due them until the service re-
cords have caught up to them.
