USE LABOR-SAvING METHODS
Expensive Equipment Rarely Pays
Even ON Large Poultry Farms
Some Practical Devices.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Labor-saving methods can be utl-
liked to better advantage on CONNER
cial poultry farms by careful planning
of the arrangement of the buildings
and by installing simple labor-saving
devices. An expensive labor-saving
equipment rarely pays even on large
poultry farms.
Some of the practical devices are
large dry-mash hoppers in which all
the mash is fed, the piping of water
to be convenient to each house, and
in a long house the installing of q
simple trolley system to carry the feed
and to be utilized in cleaning the
house. If several houses are used they
should be arranged to save steps. Suf-
ficient yard space should be allowed
to keep the ground in good condition.
1t is a serious mistake to allow only
very small amount of yard space and
thereby overstock the land and pro
duce soil contamination.
A practical and comparatively mex
pensive equipment consists of one or
more long houses containing from 500
to 1000 hens arranged with double
yards and kept only for the produc-
ton of market eggs. The yards should
be from 100 to $50 feet deep and
should be plowed and sowed frequent
ly to quick growing crops to keep the
land fresh. Such house can be fitted
with two large yards, one on each side,
which reduces the expenses of parti-
tions in the yards and also greatly IA
cilitates labor and cultivating the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
OF all the pests with which garden
ers have to contend, the fur-coated
ones are often the most battling.
Weeds can be kept down by cultiva-
ton. Destructive insects usually work
by daylight. There is little doubt as
to where they are or what they are
doing. Four-footed pests, on the other
hand, work mainly at night or under
ground, are wary and agile, and, in
consequence, are particularly difficult
to apprehend. Unless the man with the
hoe is familiar with the signs and
habits of the destructive quadrupeds,
he wonders what became of the seeds
he planted.
Among the native American animals
which invade gardens are raccoons,
woodchucks, ground squirrels, prairie
dogs, rabbits, rats, mice, moles, and
pocket gophers. To this list special
lists Of the United States department
of agriculture add a few emigrants
from the old world, notably the brown
rat and the house mouse, the two most
destructive animal pests in the world.
Fortunately, these rascals are not all
found in one place or under the same
conditions.

The SPOILERS

Spoil If you Win but don't waste
This advice as curious as It may ap-
pear Is daily given to classes of smart
women who are interesting themselves
in domestic science as applied to ey-
ery-day kitchen problems.
Today, housewives whether rich or
poor are equally concerned in the
worldwide service of eliminating
waste Not only at their clubs but in
their daily practices at home, each
woman is busy reducing the little less
es here and there in order to increase
the purchasing power Of her dollar or
dime as the case may be.
Every housewife VIII quickly detect
any inferiority of her matches. The
warning Wartime quality Is not nee
essary in order for her detection, but
it is not so easy with baking powder.
Too often she judges its quality By
the price or the size Of the package.
Perhaps 1t would be better to say that
she misjudges by these methods.
Take n concrete example, 10-cent
can of highest quality baking powder
such as Calumet, OF which 1t is only
necessary to use one level spoonful to
the cup of flour, represents a real econ
omy as compared with the Big Can,
fully double the size containing mostly
some cheap filler which is used chiefly
for the purpose Of satisfying those
who want a lot for their money and
who practice the false economy Of
overlooking the real service that quail
ity goods give. Just as a bottle of
cream is worth more than a bottle of
milk, twice its size, so is a box Of
quality matches or bar Of good soap
worth two of poor grade.-Adv.
