Opportunity for Breeders
1t is a difficult task to breed fol
a com bination of standard quality
and utility values, but this can anc
is being done at profit. In fact
the time has arrived when every am
bilious breeder should give careful
thought to the opportunity for sue

who is successful in producing q
strain of birds capable Of good pro

among the so-called breeders Of

Beauty and utility in happy COM
bination, as depicted by the most
profitable farm fowls, are attributes
WHICH merit wider imitation among
Uniformity of characteristic and
trueness of type, rather than super
fetal, skin-deep beauty ARE, desired
in producing profitable poultry, to-
gether with the ability to maintain
a liberal and persistent production
of eggs.
Hen husbandry has suffered be-
cause of factional fracases between
producers who aspire chiefly for
eggs, according to a specialist of the
q. S. department of agriculture.
Fanciers have bred for 81, show;ring
gard for proficiency in egg-making.
while utility breeders have gone
after egg-flow. However, just as
the Holstein COW which wins the
not only on her form, conformation,
quality and quantity of her milk
yield, so are poultry being Judged
on their production and sightliness
in correspondence with breeding
characters. Birds of superior vigor
and vitality are necessary, as these
qualities are the basis of both sue
cessful egg-yield and premier exh1-
bition attributes.
May Go Hand in Hand
Utility and showing poultryqnen
often are at outs over nothing. There
is nothing in the standard require
ments. directly opposed to utility,
and vice versa. Ambition of certain
breeders to intensity and develop
special qualities in their fowls has
stitutional vigor and, consequently,
reproducing ability. Breeders who
handle fancy fowls whose standard
requirements demand extreme super
fetal characters, such as excessive
development of comb, face, or crest
satisfy such conditions usually at
the expense of utility qualities.
Unfortunately the opinion prevails
among many breeders of utility
| because fowls satisfy the standard
requirements they must, of neces-
| sity, be poor producers. This is an
| erroneous idea. The ambition of the
| hibit fowl Of the best breeding type,
| but also birds which emphasize
profitable reproduction. More and
| more each year, poultry tanc1erS ap-
| be consistent winners must, possess
not only shapely form but also
profitable and persistent egg-lay1ng
| ability.
POINTS ON HOUSING POULTRY
The back and sides Of the poultry
| houses should be absolutely tight
| in order to prevent drafts which may
| cause colds in the flock.
| The front of the house should be
so high that the windows or OPEN
ings will allow the sun to shine well
back into the interior during the
! winter. Burlap, unbleached muslin,
or light weight duck cloth may be
! used for curtains in the front. This
| cloth should be thin enough to al
| low a slow circulation of air without
a draft. This is impossible if too
/ heavy a grade of duck cloth is used
| or if the cloth is oiled or painted.
If the curtain is not attended to,
however, curtain-front houses may
be less satisfactory than the open
front type even in northern ATTITUDES.

1t appeared impossible to re-
strain the individual soldier, but
Daniel Porter thought of attack
ing the traffic from he other an
gle. He believed the moonshlner
could be reduced to negligible
factor, if not exterminated. He
worked out his plan and laid it
before Commissioner Roper. That
official saw it's possibilities and
told Colonel Porter to go ahead.
In Tennessee
Porter went to Nashville, Tenn.
He called there the cream OF the
revenue agents of the south. He
picked out the stars and organic
ed them. He called the assistant
United States district attorneys,
who were familiar with moonshine
cases, and the flying squadron"
was instructed in the rules Of evil
dence, that their cases might
stand in court. Colonel Porter di-
vided his territory into divisions,
each embracing two states, and
operated his force as body in
one division. After the flying
squadron Cleaned up" a divi-
sion it moved on to another, but
a patrol was left to cover the ter
ritory. There were supervisors to
keep tab on the patrols.
There were no drawing-room
niceties about the work of the
flying squadron. 1t simply was
a case of who "got the DROP"
Kill or Get Killed
To understand the adventure in
the mountain or country regions
it is only necessary to know what
happened in cities and towns. The
official records of the treasury
department show that in the city
of Atlanta the operations of the
squadron resulted in the deaths
of Is persons. A moonshiner al
ways fights when cornered. It is
a case of kill or get killed. .l
Atlanta offers a further side
light on the scope of moonshin-
ing. More than 200 Illicit "stills"
were seized in this city and about
100 persons arrested. Approx
mately 100000 gallons of moon
shine whisky and 100000 in
property used in the illegal manu-
facture were confiscated.
When the flying squadron"
was organized at Nashville in
June, 1918, it was composed of
IA men. The force was increased
later. It became a considerable
body.
Big Force Needed
There are indications that such
an organizations as the flying
squadron" will be called into &C
ton for the enforcement of ma
tion-wide prohibition. A force of
so or 100 men would be futile.
Some officials incline to the be-
lief that force of 10000 picked
raiders will be necessary to en-
force the sea CHI and seizure pro-
visions of the proposed law. 9th
ers hold to the view that If the
nation is to be "bone-dry" a force
as big as Pershing had in France
at the signing of the armistice
will be none too large.

THE SUNDAY FORUM HELD ITS
REGULAR MEETING AT MT.
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE.
BY A. J. LONG.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 9.-The Sun
day forum neld its regular meeting at
Mount Zion Baptist church, Seventh
and State Street, and despite the
inclemency of the weather there was
a goodly number present and a most
interesting and instructive program
was rendered. The welcome address
was rendered by Mrs. Coppage, wife
of the pastor OF the church. Miss Dale
responded in behalf of the forum
whose appreciation she eloquently ex-
pressed the Rev. BOYD c. Winchester
made explicit the meaning of the for
um, its aims, its workings and the good
to be accomplished by such an Oreani-
Zation. The minutes OF the previous
meeting were read and adopted, the
roll call was answered by a response
from each member in the nature of
quotation, either from the scripture or
ones favOrite author or poet. The pro-
gram which followed was very inter-
esting, though not lengthy there was
no lack of eloquence from those who
constituted the same. Prominent
among those who spoke or rendered
numbers on the program were Miss
Smith whose paper on The great man
of today, was very cOmmendable and
received many applause. Mr.. j. Alex
ander's address in substance was "the
unrest of the Negro of today" he
spoke of the journalism of the race
and the failure of so many of our peo-
pie to support the Negro Press which
is most essential as a mouthpiece and
advancement of our cause. The Rev
Boyd c. Winchester delivered a leng-
thy and most eloquent address on the
accomplishments of the Negro as a
race He spoke of how the individual
Negro was launched in various voca-
tions of life with self as ones great
est thought. He advised union of
thought and labor as a means of ac-
complishing the needs of the races adj
vancement and success.
The Rev. Coppage made the closing
remarks in which he invited the forum
TO visit his church agai nsoOn. After
which all went out sewing, I'VE were
glad we came unto the house of the
Lord" The Forum meets the second
and fourth Sunday OF each month.
