Americas Opportunity

In after-war conditions America will
find her golden opportunity, as France
found hers after the Prussian war.
The French, as a nation, always
have been habituated to regular, IL
modest savings. From infancy a
Frencf citizen is trained in sane and
systematic savings-"saving for sue
cess" in newest American parlance.
No French business man or Household
der would feel self respecting, solvent.
whose daily or weekly account book
showed no steady increase. Every
wage earning or commercial French
family has its little store OF savings.
its little package of government bonds,
tucked away somewhere. One of the
bitterest black marks registered by
the working people OF France against
the German invaders represents the
frequent finding and confiscation Of
these precious, well hidden boards.
Government bonds long have been
available to French citizens of mod.
crate or even small income. The well
eSsAAS1 fSocch VI 6obCAuniSnt nANcSl-
ment by the people has proved of
greatest recent value to the nation.
The French Liberty loans have been
subscribed, sometimes oversubscribed
promptly. with patriotic enthusiasm
and with keen business acumen.
The lesson France long since learn
ed America is now learning. The peo-
pie of the United States have had
great opportunities offered through
War Savings Stamps TO employ the
small sums too often wasted. War.
time conditions have taught Ameri-
cans how easy it is, the sane saving
habit. once established, to do without
many things once considered neces-
sary and never miss them. After war
conditions should teach the people Of
the United States to carry on the safe
and sane saving game daily and to its
logical, legitimate conclusion. War
Savings Stamps render the opportuni-

Fattening Ducks For Market.

Ducklings to be marketed should
be fattened for two weeks before
killing on ration made Of three
parts, by weight, of corn meal, two
parts of middlings, one part of
bran, one-half part of beef scrap,
with per cent grit and 10 per
cent green feed added to this mash
or mash CT three parts cornmeal,
one part low-grade wheat flour,
one par bran, IA part beef scrap
with the green feed and grit, and 3
per cent oyster shell added. Feed
this mash three times daily, giving
all the ducklings will clean up in
half hour. The green feed is
sometimes left out of the ration
during the last seven days of fat
tening, as it tends to color the
meat and may produce a slightly
flabby, rather than firm flesh;
however, it is easier to keep the
ducklings in good feeding condi-
tion on a mash containing green
feed.

poultry producers in warm weather to
keep nests clean and to provide one
nest for every four fowls in order that
the nests will not be used too often and
soil the eggs; to gather the eggs
twice daily; to keep the eggs in cool,
dry room or cellar; to market the eggs
at least twice a week, and to pen or
dispose of all roosters as soon as the
Matching season is over.
Hens isolated on range and pasture
from the male birds produce infertile
eggs of desirable market quality. In
general, about two weeks after the
ROSTERS are removed from the flock
the hens will again yield infertile eggs.
Occasionally hens running with male
birds produce infertile eggs, but as a
rule this results from the fowls being
ronfined too closely. being overfat, or
no. HAVING access to enough green
feed.

Finger Prints" For Hens.

1t is practice of some poultrymen
and farmers tc maintain old hens in
the flock and to Gull the younger hens
and pullets because of the difficulty in
distinguishing between the birds after
the pullets have matured. Farmers
should avoid such confusion by mark
ing the young chicks in the web of the
foot with toe punch before they are
transferred to the brooder or the
brood coop. A system such as the
following offers practical means of
identification for chickens:
The bird without any holes punched
in the web of either foot. should bc
known as No. 1; No. 2 has a punch
mark in the right half of the right
foot; Nc. 3 bears a marke in the left

No. 5 similar mark in the left half

this issue of the Banner-News is one
day late again this week. This paper
like that of last week, has been set
up by the editor himself, who can fill
in on the machine when necessity
compels. Next week we will have
our old Linotype operator, Francis j.
Magin, with us and while he may have
lost some Of his speed and familiarity
with the machine during the time that
he was hunting Germans IN France,
we think that it will not be many
weeks in the future before things
will be running along all right and

the Matching season, if the hens are
not properly and regularly fed, if the
nests are dirty and crowded, if the
eggs are gathered only once every
other day, and if thereafter the eggs
are stored in warm, ill-ventilated
quarters. and if marketing is defer
red until enough eggs have collected

Bad Eggs Preventable.
Bad eggs are not the result of acct
dent; they are examples of neglect,
slovenly management, and shiftless-
ness. 1t is just as easy to produce
and market good quality eggs as it is
to offend consumers with stale, fertile
eggs. Farmers lose approximately
SOC, 100000 wear from bad methods of
producig and handling eggs. One
third of this less is preventable, be-
cause il is due to partial Matching of
fertile eggs which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin to
incubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile
while the fortified egg produces the
blood rin~ which is the partial devel-
opment of the chick. The rooster does
not increase egg production. he mere
ly fertilizes the germ of the egg, and
hence he should be allowed to run
with the flock only during the hatch
ing season. After the Matching scr
son is over the male birds should be
confined. killed or sold.
Heat the Enemy of Eggs.
Summer heat has the same effect on
fertile eggs as the hen or incubator
The fertile germ in hot weather
quickly develops into a blood ring
which spoils the egg for food or mar
ket purposes. Heat is the great en-
envy of eggs, both fertile and infertile.
On this account specialists of the u.
s. department of agriculture urge

Green Stuff For Hens.

When open range is not available
and hens must be confined, poultry
specialists recommend the division of
the hen yard into two lets, so that
green stuff may be grown on one side
while the other patch is being grazeo.
AS soon as the gree feed is two to
three inches high the hens may be
turned on it, while the other lot may
be spaded up and sown again. This
plan provides plenty of green feed
throughout the year fer the average
backyard flock.
The green crops should be suited to
local conditions, those suggested be-
low being adapted to moderate eli
matte conditions. For the extreme
north or south the planting dates
should be modified Thickly sown
crops furnish succulent feed and sum-
mer shade. From April l to July l
on growing yard 1-oats, chard or
lettuce, clover or vetch, sunflowers.
cowpeas, rape may be grown. For
feeding purposes on yard 2-winter
rye, winter vetch, sweet clover may be
grown, as we'll as crimson clover in the
latitude of New Jersey and south.
From July to October / the oats,
chard and lettuce, clover or vetch,
cowpeas and rape on yard l may be
fed, while buckwheat, dwarf Essex
rape and flat turnips are grown on
yard 2 From October l tc April l
the growing crops on yard / should
consist Of oats, winter rvs, winter
vetch, sweet clover and crimson clover
while at the same time in feeding yard
buckwheat. dwarf Essex rape, flat
turnips and soy beans are grown.

the left side Of the left foot, while
No. IL is marked on the right side Of
the right foot and the left side of the
right foot.
This system of marking may be
continued indefinitely according to the
ingenuity of the idividual poultryman
in mapping out footprint schedule.
1t provides means of identification for
fowl as efficient as the Bertillon sys-
tenn of finger-print records of Grim
inals. ~
Chickens will not give adequate re-
turns in eggs or growth when kept UNI
der insanitary conditions.
Here is a suggestion for good dry
mash: parts by weight of cornmeal
and part beef scrap. Still another
ration may be made up of pound of
wheat bran, pound of wheat mid
dlings. 1-2 pounds of beef scraps and
16 1-2 pounds Of corn meal.
