why More Honey Is Needed

Honey produced in the United
States. if divided would be less than
three pounds a person-about 3 per
cent of the sugar consumed by the
average individual.
Not much of the crop goes to the
family table. 1t is consumed in bak-
cry products or used in drug COM
pounds.
The demand for honey can be east
ly and tremendously increased. The
war proved that.
The demand for honey is not con-
slant because the supply is not con-
stant Few sirups ars as satisfactory
or as palatable as honey. A little ad-
vertising will sell it.
Experience during the period OF
sugar shortage prove that honey pro-
duction may be vastly increased with
out fear of over production. There
was not enoungh honey then to sup
ply a fractional part of the demand,
and if the efforts of beekeepers at
that time had suddenly increased the
crop to many times its usual volume
there still would not have been
enough honey to supply the demand.
But beekeeping is a complex bust
ness. The United States Department
of Agriculture, while it believes in
increasing the honey supply, thinks
that the increase should result main
Iy from better methods on the part
of the 100000 people who now own
bees rather than by a large increase
in the number of beekeepers.

When the chicks are few days old
il is well to begin to feed a little
grain. Millet seed, finely cracked
corn and wheat, 'pinhead" oatmeal,
and broken rice may be scattered in
the litter or short grass about the
-, coop or brooder. 1t will pay to sift
the cracked corn and wheat through
sleeves, so as to remove both the meal
and the larger pieces. A very good
mixture of cracked grains for chicks
is parts wheat, 9 parts ''pinhead'
oatmeal. part corn, part rice, and
/ part millet seed. Another good
mixture is 10 pounds cracked wheat,
4 pounds cracked corn, pounds mil
let seed, pounds cracked hulled
oats or pinhead oatmeal, and l pound
line beef scraps. There are also
many prepared chick feeds on the
market which are very good.
Young chicks should be fed lit
tie at q time and often. They should
be fed early in the morning and just
before going to bed at night, and not
less than three times in the interven-
Ding period. For the first two weeks
they may be fed three meals of soft
feed and two OF hard, and after that
age two of soft and three of hard,
feeding less soft feeds as they grow
older. No more moistened soft feed
should be given at one time than they
will eat up clean. If any is left it
should be removed, for nothing
causes more bowel looseness and dys-
EMERY among young chicks than
sour feed. The finely cracked grains
may be safely used from the start,
but the chicks do not as a rule grow
as rapidly when a part of the feed
is ground. When the chicks are from
four to six weeks old, the frequency
OF feeding may be decreased to four
times day

FARM DEPARTMENT.

one of the most important in the
poultry program. Early Matched
stock, they say, produce well-matur-
ed. vigorous pullets, which will begin
laying in the fall and early winter,
and it is only from such early-matinG
pallets that the best production and
greatest profit can be secured. Early
Matched chicks also mean hens which
grow broody earlier the next spring
and these in turn allow early hatch
ing to be continued to a greater de-
gree when natural methods of incI-
baton are relied upon. This cam.
paign has been pushed vigorously
over the entire country during the
past year, and it is being taken up
again this spring. Reports indicate
that early Matching is being practiced
much more generally this spring than
ever before. Fewer early Matched
pullets were marketed last fall than
in prvious years. indicating, the spe-
cialists say, that poultry raisers re-
alize the value of their early Matched
pullets and have held them for their
own use.

Washington's Birthday.

Ques. Can you explain why We

Feb.22 when he was born Feb. IL
Ans. Present chronological system OF
reformed calandar which was intro
duced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1882
was not adopted by England until
1852. Consequently in that country
and in English colonies dates prior
10 1852 were reckOned according to
older system. To distinguish between
old and new systems, dates according
to Gregorian calandar were called
new style" and previous calculations
were called "old style. Washington
was born Feb. II, old style, but This
was Feb. % by the new system.

NEW RULE MADE

A discharged soldier who desires

under new instructions issued nv the
War Department and being sent out
to all army recruiting officers. The
necessary blank forms being sent to
all recruiting officers were received

listed men entitled to $50 bonus who
do not wish to forward their dis
charge certificates to the Zone
Finance officer, Washington ID. c..

the following conditions.
The copy will be a literal full and

contain both printed and written mat
ter of every nature and description
of both sides of the original discharge
certificate. This complete copy, with

Boys Swat Dogs, Buy Sheep.
For every dog kept a loss of $3.50
must be pOcketed every year. For
every sheep kept a profit of S27.GO
may be pocketed every year,
At least that is the way the propo-
sition was itemized on the blackboard
of the mountain school house by Il
farm demonstration agent in Kentuc-
ky And the figures were cOnvinc-
ing. There was not a sheep in the
district at the time the figures were
placed on the blackboard. Somebody
said there used to be one sheep-a
wether--"down the mountain lit
tie ways" but the dogs ate him.
A few weeks from the time the
agent placed the figures on the black
board IS boys each had contrived to
buy a sheep. Eleven dogs had been
killed. Several other families,
pestered by their small sons, but still
unwilling to kill their dogs, were try.
ing 10 give the brutes away.
Similar movements We're started at
other schools. Now, in that district,
there are 622 boys who are members
OF the sheep club. Among then!
they own nearly 1865 sheep BY the
tax returns the dog population APP
pears to have increased also, but the
agent says this is not true. Former
ly there was no sentiment for en-
forcement of the dog law he says,
but now there is very strong senti-
meni that way, and while there has
been a considerable decrease in the
number of dogs. there is an apparent
increase, because people who former
ly evaded the dog tax now have to
pay il.
