, FOR POULTRY
GROWERS

Don't forget that the hen is under
unnatural conditions during the win
ter, and that summer Is ideal weather
for egg production. Try to initiate
this condition as nearly as possible.
Do everything within your power to
make the bird comfortable. Don't
merely house her; give her a home and
care for her.
One reason why many poultry keep
ers fail to get eggs is because they
fail to interest their birds. BY that
is meant they fail to give them sufi-
cient litter -on the floor and to feed
them their grain in this, so as to keep
them working for 1t all day. Keep
their minds as well as their bodies en-
gagged, and the hens will be happy,
contented and will produce more eggs.
The ideal method for feeding is to give
them little feed frequently in the
litter, to keep them constantly alert
and active. The feeding of a little
stimulant, such as onion tops or occa-
sionally feed of hot, wet mash, or a
change to some sprouted oats, fresh,
green-cut bone, or In fact. anything
that the bird relishes, acts as an appe-
tizer, and not only is effective in pro-
ducing more eggs, but also actually
develops the interest Of the caretaker
or feeder to the point that he will give
his birds other care. Know the indi.
viduals in your flock and try to satisfy
their needs. Remember. they are un-
der artificial conditions during the
winter.

American Farmers Should
Follow Scotland's Plan to
Eliminate Food-Eating Rats

The canny Scots Of West Perth
shire district are living up to their
reputation. They have organized in
an active campaign to exterminate
rats and save the food and property
which they waste. They have demon
strated that 1t Is cheaper to kill than
to feed rats. According to a report
from the American consul at Dundee,
which has just been received by the
United St9tes department of agricul-
ture, a campaign to exterminate rats
In the district mentioned, for which
$1,479.41 was appropriated, resulted
last year in the killing Of 100000 rats.
The board Of agriculture appropriated
$486.65 for the campaign. 1t is said
that one rat in the course of II months
caused damage estimated at $2.43, and
as there were approximately two rats
to the acre, the amount of damage
done was equivalent to the average
amount of rent paid by the tenants of
West Perthshire. The campaign has
been so successful and the people so
pleased with the results that COM
munity cooperation to exterminate
rats Is to be continued another year,
according to the report.
|, American farmers, who have long
suffered losses from these food raid
ers, should follow the example set by
this district and organize community
campaigns to get rid Of rats. In many
sections Of this country where similar
campaigns have been conducted re-
suits always have been gratifying.

Words of Wise Men

Choose the just man. The
partial man may not always be
partial to you, but the just man
is always just.
The great man expects every
thing of himself; the small man
expects everything Of others.
A man should never be
ashamed to own he has been In
the wrong, which is but saying
In other words that he Is wiser
today than he was yesterday.
