UP-TO-DATE SUMMER
STYLES IN HEN HOUSES

The curtain-front or partial open
front house is conceded to be the best
type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry may be adj
opted to advantage on many farms.
This system does away with the dam
ger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, feet from the floor, with
a dropping board about 6 inches be-
low them. Good roosts may be made
of 2 by inch material with the up
per edges rounded.
The nests may be placed on the side
walls or under the dropping boards.
1t is best to have them darkened, as
the hens prefer a secluded place in
which to lay.

art as the proper Interpretation Of
Mendelssohn symphony, but study
and practice of the following pointers
will soon develop the novice into an
expert. The operator can remove the
entire digestive tract without smear
ing the meat in any way, and can
pack the flesh and bones from the av-
cragc mature fowl into quart jar.
The first essential is to give the
fowl no food for "a hours before kill
ing. The bird should be killed by
sticking it through the roof of the
mouth, and should be picked dry. At
ter the feathers have been removed
and the pin feathers drawn, the fowl
should be cooled rapidly. When cool,
it should be singed and washed care
fully with u brush.

HOW OLD is THE CHICKEN
YOU BUY? OR HOW YOUNG?

A good method of determining the
age of dressed fowls, according to
specialists of the United States De-
partmcnt of Agriculture, is to grasp
the end of the breast bone farthest
from the head between the thumb
and finger and attempt to bend it to
one side. In very young bird, such
as broiler chicken or a green goose,
it will bend easily like the cartilage
of the human car. In bird year
or so old, it will be brittle and, in an
old bird, tough and hard to bend or
break. INSCRIPTIONS dealers some
times break one end of the breast
bone before showing the bird on the
market, in order that the buyer will
believe the bird to be a young one.

Abuse of Hospitality
Written by Agnes Repper for the League

Whenever a revolutionary mob assemblies, as 1t
did in Madison Square Garden, New York City, re-
Gently to threaten the downfall of the United States
reporters casually observe: "A large audience,
ninety per cent foreign, appauded these anarchical
sentiments" Or perhapS "Ihe Russian speeches
awoke the widest enthusiasm, being better under
stood than those spoken in English"
Precisely! It is always the stranger within our
doors, the man who asked hospitality and received
it, who now clamors for the destruction of all we
hold sacred and dear Three hundred years of toll
and endurance three hundred years OF brave adVen-
ture and of splendid effort went to the making of
our land. Immigrants all are; but the early set
tiers whether they came with wealth and possNs-
sons, or with only their strong hands and honest
hearts, shared the same purpose. They meant to
construct new world, stably governed, world of
order and of freedom. For this they braved hard
living and countless dangers. For this their des-
cendents fought the Revolutionary and the Civil
Wars. For this we helped to smash the terrorism OF
Germany. Was it only that we might be smashed in
turn by the bootess terrorism of Russia!
What are Bolshevists? Men who grant civic
rights to one class, and deny them to another. Men
who rob treasures, repudiate debts, and murder OPP
ponents. Men who spit at religion, and despo mar
rage of all that gives it honor and security. What
have they done for Russia? Reduced it to beggary
and bloody chaos. What have they done for the peo-
pie thew sWore to befriend? Given them choos with
out system or scholarship, factories without ma
terials, shops without goods, government without
credit and farms where no man will plant the food
he is not sure of harvesting Like the blinded Cyc-
lops Russia can still hurl destructive missiles, but
can construct and uphold nothing?
Is this model for the United States to follow?
Is this the shining light that d4zzles her? Here
where men have some decent egard for the rights of
their fellow men, and for the Laws they live by, here
where there is enough and to pre- Io1 eli if our
resources are husbanded, here Were Che ranks of

UNCLE SAM, EGG MESSENGER

The practicability of shipping eggs
by parcel post is demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels of eggs than
any other one product pass through
the mails. In order to test various
methods of packing and handling
eggs the Office of Markets and Rural
Organization has shipped more than
700 dozen eggs through the mails
from various points, under various
conditions, and in different types of
containers, without undue loss, either
IN the expense of shipment or the
condition of the eggs on reaching the
consumers kitchen.

CHEAPER TO RAISE THAN
n.- CHICKENS

1t costs about 25 cents to raise a
rabbit to the age Of three months. At
that time it may be marketed at the
rate of 35 to 40 cents a pound and
the pelts are worth from Is to Is
cents, depending on the kind of rab-
bit and its size. Oats, cabbage, and
water compose the basis diet used by
most of the young growers. Com
pared with chicken raising, the points
are in favor of the rabbits, for the
hares are very hardy and require in
expensive feed.

to the body. Cut through the back
bone at the joint just above the dia-

Then separate the breast from the
backbone by cutting through on the
white spots and breaking.
1t is essential to cut in sharply at
the point of the breast bone and TO
remove the wishbone with the meat.
The fllet should also be cut from
each side of the breastbone, while the
bones of the breast should be bent
in.
How to Can Chicken
In packing the fowl for canning
purposes use a quart jar. Pack the
saddle with thigh inside; she
breast bone with thigh inside: the
backbone and ribs with leg inside,
the leg end downward alongside the
breastbone; then the wings, the
wishbone, the fillets, and the neck
