Bookkeeping for farm flock owners

producer personally to keep accurate

IN n word, all branches of farming are
reaching highly developed status

must be eliminated, or Mt least limited.
and this can best be accomplished by
the medium Of the account book.
Systems of poultry accounting must
be extremely simple, while they must
not involve too much time. The United
States department OF agriculture rec
ommends some such form OF con-

Drinking Helps laying.

A plentiful supply OF clean, fresh
water must always be available to
hens. The fowls drink freely, es-
pecially when laying heavily, and
should not be stinted OF such a neces-
snry and cheap material as water.
The water pan or dish should be kept
clean.
In the winter, when the water may
freeze. II is best that the pan be left
In the house. where II should be raised
about a foot above the floor so that
the hens will not kick II full of straw
or other litter when scratching for
their feed. When the nights nre cold
enough so that the water Is likely to
freeze the pan should be emptied each
night and refilled in the morning.

A good-sized flock Of laying
hens is one OF the most valuable
assets the farmer can possess.
Always there is a demand for

there is a top price" for the
commodity.
The unusual conditions now
prevailing and which inevitably
must prevail for an indefinite

farmer materially to increase
egg production, thereby not only
adding to his income, hut also
supplying another important Cog

ator Reed of Missouri, who has told his

Ford in the Senate" This statement
summstizes the opinion of the better
class of senator's.
In fact the one Ford venture in which
we are deeply interested just at present,
is the investigation of the Eagle Boat
contract, which was ordered by the Sem
ate at the instance of Senatd, Lodge.
Until the investigation committee has all
the evidence in it would be highly impro-
per to pass judgment on the contract,
but if a friction of the original charges
are sustained we very much fear that
Mr. Ford will require more than one page
Of the Independent to explain to his read
ers his position in the matter. Possibly
he had something Of this sort in mind
when he started the paper. Possibly not.
We do not pretend to know. He hasn't
taken us into his confidence lately.
When Mr.. Ford first accepted govern
ment contracts the public was led to be-
lleve that he was doing a patriotic SER
vice and had absolutely refused to con-
slider profits. We didn't believe it at the
time and said so. 1t now transpJ,es, if
the charges are true, that he not only de-
mlanded profits, but very gross profits on
boats that would not float. They appear

DIR. HORACE FLETCHER

The necessity Of eating food has long
been recognized by mankind, yet the art
of eating food has never arrived at per-
fection-and possibly never will. There
have been, and stilt-are, many schools
which would teach us to eat our food in
such manner as not only to obtain the
greatest possible nutrition therefrom,
but also to render the practice in the
highest degree pleasurable.
One of the most notable masters of
these schools OF nutrition was DIR. Hor-
ace Fletcher The death at Copenhagen
last Monday removes from the world
scientist whose following mounted into
millions. AS the originator of FLETCHER
ISM" he set hundreds of thousands of
jaws at work which had been merely
passive before.
One word alone made up DIR. Fletcher's
message to the world: "Cheww With
that command, however, DR.. Fletcher
counseled cheerfulhess.i His entire Cos
pei on this head may be condensed into
single paragraph. 1t reads:
Eat very slowly and chew every par
ticle of food infinitely, until it almost
melts in the mouth. Anger and worry
greatly retard digestion, so, at the dinner
table, tell your wife how beautiful she is
and do not talk of the amount of her
dressmaker's bill. In the Intervals of
agreeable talk, chew, chew, chew your
food. If you do this, you will not need
nearly SO much food, so you will save
money. You will improve in health and
gain greatly in physical strength. re-
peat, 'masitcate, masticate, masticate.'
In pursuance of his idea, DIR. Fletcher
sought in his cheerful way to teach the
working people and children how to pre-.
serve their health, and for the purpose he
established school of proper nutrition.
His writings on the subject enjoy an ex-

GERMANY TO THE BAR

In all the political confusion in Ger
many one thing is conspicuous by its abb
sence-" there is not the slightest recoe-
milton of the fact that Germany has done
wrong. The Kaiser, Ludendorff, and
Bethmann Hollweg are despised because
they failed, not because they are interna-
tional criminals
1t is now admitted by many Germans
that the war was planned and purposed
by military, diplomatic, and other gov
ernmental dictators in Germany and Aus
trla. But this is condemned, not because
the act was an outrage against justice
and humanity, but because it resulted in
the suffering and humiliation of the Ger
man and Austrian people. Dr. Harold
Wllhams, correspondent of the London
Chronicle, writes from Berne that the
revolution" has nothing spontaneous
about it; that it is "a grudging acknowl-
edgment Of crushing military defeat"
that 1T is completely unlike the Russian
Revolution-no exultation in liberty, no
particular indignation against the auth
Nrs OF the national misfortune, no recog-
milton OF the wrong done by Germany to
the world, not the faintest sign Of nation
al repentance"
AS we write the indications are that
Ebert Ministry and its administrative
machinery is falling to pieces. Ebert as
Chancellor is the Chief of both the Prus-
sian and the National Cabinets. Some of
his Ministers and colleagues are leaving
him, it is reported Solf has resigned as
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, .Ledebour
"a Socialist) has resigned, Haase ana
Barth (both Socialists) are rumored TO
have done the same; the President of the
Reichstag is threatening to convene that
imitation Parliament. Nevertheless the
majority of the soldiers seem to support
the Cabinet-or Committee of Six, as it
is more correctly called. The Prussian
Guards the other day marched down
Inter den Linden, Berlin, playing
Deutschland uber Allies" and carrying,
the old black, White and red Imperial flag
instead of the revolutionary banner.
Large strikes are going on in Berlin, but
rather for food and for work, one judges
than for the tenets OF Bolsheyism.
Just one faction, the so-called SPARTA
cides, whose "Spartacus" is Liebknecht,
are positively and certainly enemies of
Imperialism and militarism. Nearly two
years ago Lebknecht, in an interview
with responsible contributor to the Out
look, declared that the war was "a war
for conquest" 1t may be that his perse-
cution and Imprisonment has made him
violent (the Socialist paper "Vorwerts"
declares that he is insane), but his.forp-
er utterances were Socialistic rather than
Anarchistic. The Majority Socialists
charge the Spartacus party with Russian
Bolshevism, and the charge may be true:
No authentic statement from LiebkneclG
as to his purposes and aims has been
published, SO far as We know. This and

DISCARD THE MASKS

1t would appear to be time for the
Board of Health to throw the masks into
the discards. They have done good SER
vice in the past, and still may not have
lost their virtue, but the way they are
being worn, or the way the ordinance is
being observed, makes of them fsrce
and of very little effect. Under our free
institutions it is not intended that there
be one rule for the good uns" and AMI
other for the "bad uns" and when it
comes to pass where some observe the
rule, and others violate it with impunity,
it is time to increase the police force and
get busy, or abolish the rule. AT present
the mask is farce at home, and making
us the laughing stock of our friends and
heighbors. We say discard the masks.

THE OLSON BILL

Utah employers are justly ignorant
over the proposal of Senator Olson to es-
.,ablish the industrial commission as an
arbitrary powC' in the state. The bill not
only proposes to prohibit an appeal from
the decision of the industrial commits
Sion on any matter Of fact, but seeks a
general control Of the labtr of the state.
The bill as it stands promises the en-
ploye little, the employer nothing and the
commission everything. The justice of a
reasonable worlmen's compensation law
is generally recognized by employers.
Ihdre is, however, serious objection to
radical legislation such as proposed in
the bill introduced by Senator Olson.
Manufacturing and industrial activity
has labored under handicap in Utah by
treason of discriminatory freight rates.
aWhiie this handicap is gradually being
{ overcome It i proposed to put on addi-
honal burden on them at home. If en-
acted into law the Olson bill will drive in
dustiy and business from Utah and re-
suit IN less employment in the state.
The bill means a 70 pei, cent increase I'M
the cost of workmens compensation. 1t
Likewise gives the Industrial commission
absolute control over the hours and wag-
es OF all women and minors in the state,
at the same time shutting off he source of
appeal in all questions of fact

again read the governors admonition
against radical legislation at critical
period in'the history of the state.-Salt

other questions Of internal German con-
ditions needs calculation.
Germany is at the bar. She is not
party to civil suit for damages; she
stands criminally indicted. She broke in
to Belgium feloniously; she robbed, tor
tured and slew Belgians feloniously; she
kidnapped and dragged into slavery
Frenchmen and French girls feloniously;
she destroyed crops and houses without
military purpose; she pillaged right and
left contrary to her own military laws.
She is an international felon, caught red
handed, overpowered by the worlds po-
lice, about to be tried for murder, rap
inc and piracy, ','
When the people Of Germany begin to
realize something Of this, to see the
weakness Of their plea that might makes
right, they may hope to feel their way to-
ward real democracy. Meanwhile their

Meanwhile the Allies at Versailles must
have recognized German government
with which to deal. 1t does not do in
times of revolution and abdication to be
too particular about technicalities. But
in some form the German people must
give recognizable mandate to govern

date must be based on something else
than arbitrary force or the temporary
seizure of the wires Of administration
We want no repition of what happened

mentary phrase. The constituting of our

1T behooves Germany to convoke hel Ma

form in that way or some other body
which can fairly claim toNspeak for the
