OWN.YOUR-OWN.HOME COM.
MITTEEES TO HAVE BENEFIT
OF HOUSING CORPORA
TION'S EXPERIENCE

Plans for dwellings, prepared by the
U. S. Housing Corporation for various
Government projects during wartime,
are to be made available for general
public use by the -own-YoVr-0wn-
Home Section, Information and Edu-
cation Service, U. s. department Of
Labor. =
Several types of houses have been
selected as most artistic AZ well as
most practicable and the plans for
these will be given to Own-Y You're
Home Committees, which are now car
rying on campaigns in forty cities, so
that estimates maybe made on them.
1t is explained that the purpose Is
not to interfere in any way with the
work of local architects, by thus pro-
viding Government plans, but 1t is ex-
pected that when the estimates in
widely separated States are compiled
the information will be of value to
prospective home owners, while 1t will
afford comparisons of the varying cost
of construction in many, parts of the
United States.
Since the Own-Your- -Own-H
/ campaign was started a few weeks
ago the L. S. Department of Labor
has received assurances of coopera-
tion from Chambers of Commerce, ci-
vic associations, womens clubs, and
organizations of many sorts. Re-
kuests that local campaigns be begun
without delay have been sent this
week to 400 cities. Letters have been
addressed to mayors, labor organiza-
tions and the clergy, as well as to the
clubs and other associations that have
expressed willingness to aid the cam
paign, undertaken to provide employ
ment for returning soldiers and to
hasten the revival Of business.
While the campaign was started
primarily to furnish buffer employ
ment to the men of the demobilizing
army, the number of letters received
by the Department from soldiers who
ask advice about how to proceed in
obtaining homes of their own proves
that the campaign has wor the boys
in khaki more than temporary in
terest and contradicts the idea that
military service breeds a distaste for
settling down in permanent abiding
place. The Own-Your-O -Own-Home
campaign, so far, has seemed to show
that war instead Of inspiring wander
lust has made the Americans who
served in it more anxious than ever
before to live in houses that actually
belong to them.

NONE so SATISFACTORY AS
MINORCAS; REAL BEAUTY
Is FOUND IN THEM
(By Thos. G. Samuels, Manager Of the
Prospect Farms)

(By Thos. G. Samuels, Manager Of the
Prospect Farms)
My dear Mr.. Delaney:
have been in the poultry business
for about twenty years and have bred
many of the various varieties. Dur
ing these years, however, l have not
as yet, found any birds quite SO sat-
isfactory as the Black Minorcas, both
Single and Rose Comb. Thel have
been in public favor for many years
having attained and established a
reputation through their good quail
tiles.
Perhaps the first thing which at
tracted me to Black Min6rcas was
their appearance. They are good
enough looking to catch the eye of
any person. One is not only attract
ed by their wonderful green and black
color combination, set off by their
white lobes, red comb and wattles,
and black eyes, but also by their
proud, stately and dignified carriage.
Mingled with these traits there is a
sort of gentleness to be found in the
Black Minorcas. Being not at all
Eighty, they do, as rule, make fine
pets.
1t is much easier to prepare Black
Minercas for the Poultry Show than
most any other variety. Being dark
in color they do not have to be wash
ed like the white birds. On the whole
they are not much trouble to condi-
ton for the poultry show.
In the show room, the Black Mi
norcas are one Of the leading variet-
les At most Of the best shows, they
are one of the largests classes. The
beauty in any poultry show is always
found in the Minorca aisle. The male
Minorca birds are rather large and
cannot be put in any sort of show
cage. Many poultry associations have
recognized this fact and have donated
double-sized sages for thek male Mi
norca birds. These cages, in my
mind, are quite essentiol. They give
an added attraction to the Minorca
aisle because the birds get chance
to make good appearance. Since
the Black Minorcas do make an espe-
cially good appearance, their section
of the show room is one of the most
popular. Visitors always admire them
The next attraction, besides the
birds themselves, are their eggs. Ey-
edybody knows about the Black MI
norcas large white eggs. 1t is not un,
usual for a dozen of them to weigh 81
ounces. Here again, the Black Mi

KENTUCKY SALES

Washington, April 25-Nearly $780,

proximately $1OO.OOO,O0O.
st. Louis district, which takes in
Louisville was fourth, with New
york, Boston and Chicago districts
ahead of it. Larger districts. like
Philadelphia and Cleveland, are far
behind Louisville.
Sales were reported moving more
slower in the Kentucky area than in
any other part of the district, only
one-sixth of that sections quota being
raised.
The exact total was 1896, ,496,0 900, and
was distributed among the twelve dis
tricts as follows: Boston, $61,O47,-
$50; New York, $124,OOO,OOO; Phila-
delphia, $26,422, 100; Cleveland, $21,-
s35n2OO; Richmond, slS,s5s,oOO; At

apolis, $13,13S,100; Kansas City, So
027,45O; Dallas, $1,737,65O; San Fran
cisco, $7,1S1,15O.
Differences appear to be developing
between the loan campaign managers
of Iowa and Michigan, the two States
which have subscribed their quotas,
over the question of which was first
to achieve this record. The Treasury
expressed no opinion as to which
should receive first honors.
The official summary of the cam
paign said, however, that a message
from c. McNider, the Iowa sales
director, received at 1926 a. m.today,
said that Iowa passed its quota yester-
day afternoon at $3.50 p. m.
A telegram from F. R. Mention, Of
the Michigan committee, also received
today, said that Michigan had passed
its quota, but gave no time of passing.
Workers in each state are continuing
to roll up subscriptions.
The Cleveland district continued to-
. night to lead all other districts in the
number of committees reaching their
quota, having lis. Toledo expected to
obtain its quota by Friday, and Cincin-
natl reported that it had half.

norcas always capture first honors
in the show room. How often is q
dozen of well chosen Minorcas eggs
awarded anything less than blue rib
bon? / know Of rather recent case
where two dozen Of Black Minorca
eggs being put in competition with one
hundred and thirty-two other dozen,
were given first and second prizes. |
know of another case still, where In
competition with "a dozen of eggs the
Minorca dozen victoriously won the
blue. 1t is not only in the show room
where Minorca eggs have a leading
place. The ladies will always say that
they prefer them for cooking purposes
because of their size. Customers who
use them always ask the poultryman
for Minorca eggs in preference to the
others.
For use as table fowl, the Minorca
again excels Some people have a
grudge against the bird because it has
white skin and dark pin feathers.
Don't the other varieties of poultry
also have pin feathers? Yes, but they
are white and you don't see them
when preparing the fowl for the ta-
BILE. Therefore 1t is better for the pin
feathers to be black so that they can
be taken out. The texture and flavor
of the Minorca meat is of the very
best. 1t is of a fine quality and tastes
slightly like the meat of game fowl.
The size and length of the carcass
also makes it suitable for table use. !
prefer the Minorca to the turkey and
have often served it on my table in
the place of the latter. Its meat is
not so dry and has better taste than
that of the turkey. AS for as Mi
norcas and turkeys are concerned, in
my mind, the former take first place.
Therefore, in summing up, let me
say that Black Minorcas are most
satisfactory in every way and have no
superior. If you don't agree with me
oreed few MinOcas and find out for
ourself.-Poultry Press.
