PROFIT FROM
RAISING POULTRY

There Is considerable profit in poul-
try at the present time. The matter
Of profit in poultry keeping is a thing
which each person must solve for him.
self, SO much depends upon the keeper.
Poultry raising is not easy work; it
requires lots Of time and patience.
Where stock is kept and poultry has
free range, hen may be kept for a
year on four to six pecks of corn or
it's equivalent No one thinking Of
going into this business can figure on
profit above 81 a hen, and that is
much too large If the keeper is mex
perienced.
If the hens are given warm, clean,
dry quarters and variety Of grain
green vegetable food Of some kind
with plenty Of ground oyster shells
and once or twice week a little
ground bone and meat meal, they will
keep in good thrifty condition. Early
Matched pullets will usually commence
to lay about the middle Of January.
One and two-year-old hens will seldom
lay when the weather is very cold.
A practical poultryman says:
Cleanliness, variety of grain, regu-
larity Of feeding, pure clean water
given twice day, and a well-littered
shed for exercise, must be provided.
I feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and
oats in the morning and evening; the
grain is sown over the cut straw in
the feeding room. At noon scalded
fine-cut clover hay mixed with wheat
bran and a little oil meal is fed. On
this food the hens lay fairly well, even
in cold weather. I raise most all of
my feed and have an abundance of
grass and clover pasture in summer
and rye and wheat pasture in winter.
When snow covers the ground, feed
cabbage leaves, beets and turnips, cut
fine and mixed with bran. There is
not much money in the business If
most of the grain has to be bought and
hired help employed"

WOLVES OF THE SEA
By RANDALL PARRISH


No CLEAN of light appeared in any
direction; no sound echoed across the
dark waste of water. 1t was clearly
impossible for me to attempt any re-
turn to the wharf through the impene-
trable black curtain which shut me in.
What, then, could I do? What might
l still hope to accomplish? Those fel-
lows had swept the sloop clean, and
had doubtless long ago scuttled it.
They would suddenly find themselves
leaderless, unguided. Would that suf-
flee to stop them? Would the discov-
cry of his body halt his followers and
send them rushing back to their boat,
eager to get safely away? This did
not seem likely. Estada knew Of my
boarding the sloop from the wharf,
and would at once connect the fact Of
my being ashore with the killing Of
Sanchez. This would satisfy him
there was no further danger. Besides,
these were not men to flee in panic.
Surely not with that ruffian Estada vet
alive to lead them, and the knowledge
that fifty thousand pounds was yonder
in that unguarded house. with no one
to protect the treasure but two old
men asleep, and the women. The
women dorothy! What would be-
come Of her? Into whose hands would
she fall in that foul division Of spoils?
Estada's? And I, afloat and helpless
in this boat, what could I do?

Cancer Kills One in Ten
Over Forty; Durable, Federal
Health Service Declares

The federal health service, re-en.
health boards and the American So.
ciety for the Control Of Cancer, has
issued cancer circular for public dis
tribution. 1t declares one out of every
ten persons over forty dies Of cancer.
While the great war cost the United
States about $4,000 lives, cancer in
the same two years claimed 10000
people In this country.
The government agency warns that
cancer is unquestionably increasing
throughout the world, although it is
durable if treated early.
"At the beginning cancer is usually
painless and difficult to detec Ct" the
new bulletin points out. AT its first
small growth it can be safely and
easily removed by competent sur
geon. Cancer is not a constitutional
or blood disease, is not contagious,
and is, practically speaking, d OF her.
editary. Persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores,
cracks, decorations, Jumps and ulcers
which do not heal, and warts, moles or
birthmarks which change in size, color
or appearance, may turn into cancer
unless treated and cured. Persistent
indigestion in middle life, with loss Of
weight and change Of color, or with
pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for
thorough and competent medical ad-
vice as to the possibility Of internal
cancer. A doctor who treats a sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not know
his business"
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all-important.
