D. c. BILL DEADLOCKED.
Proposal to Increase Teachers Sal.
aries introduced by Sena-
tor Penrose.

The District appropriation bill was
still deadlocked in conference last
night The probability is that unless
the House agrees TO yield on the Issue
of the half-and-half plan of appropri-
ating for the District the bill will fail
and another bill will have to be passed
at an extra session of Congress. /
The Senate amendment. increasing
the salaries of the public school teach
ers so that the lowest basic salary will
be $1,000, was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania. In the next Congress Senator
Penrose's party will be in control and
therefore there should be little trop-
bic in having the increase for the
teachers carried in the bill; which is
to be passed at the next session.

CARING FOR THE HOME FLOCK
BY H. w. RICkEY.
Poultry Specialist, Maryland State College.

In writing these articles for The
Sunday Star, dealing with the pro-
duction and care of poultry, my pur-
pose is not to place an exaggerated
estimate upon its Importance nor
upon the possibilities Of poultry
keeping as means to wealth; neither
do wish to encourage unsuspecting
amateurs to engage in the work with
the hope of an easy access to fame
and fortune. but on the contrary to
present to the readers of The Star
a clear, concise and seasonable course
in the practice of poultry keeping: at
the same time anticipating the needs
and requirements of the poultry
keeper.
Poultry keeping has its place on
the farm, though the average farm
er seldom recognizes its value or its
possibilities under safe, sane and
scientific management Poultry keep
ing also has an important place in
the back yard and adjoining lots of
the city and suburban dweller, but
as to whether in this part of the
country it is adaptable to highly
intensified and specialized develop
ment the decision must be left to
the judgment and experience of the
individual

Buying Day-Old Chicks.

These hatcheries. which are usually
equipped with mammoth steam-heat
ed incubators having n Matching ca
pacity of many thousand eggs, have
been operated successfully in various
parts of the country during the past
few years. Experience has made it
possible to hatch high class. vigorous
chickens and to successfully ship
them long distances, and the business
is developing into one of the most
important branches of the poultry
industry. AS the very lifs of this
work depends upon the high standard
of the product. most of these con-
Germs may be depended upon to fur
nish chicks of a quality to meet our
demands The purchase of day-old
chicks Matched in this way will re-
lieye the busy office man and woman
who live in town and have their
little ffocks of chickens, from the
care of an incubator or sitting hen.
I feel that if this fact were generally
known there would be more chickens
raised in town and more fresh eggs
available for the family use.
The subject of incubation will be
discussed in the next article.
