THERE Is STILL TINE TO
GULL FARM FLOCKS

The month of September finds that
most of the poultrymen and a great
many of the farmers in the state have
already culled their hens. In. the past
few years poultry raisers have found
that culling out their poor hens early
has resulted in more eggs laid, less
feed used and more money made.
If flocks have not already been cul-
led, now is the time to do it. Accord
ing to the poultry department Of the
University of Vermont, State Agricul-
iural College, the best hens are the
bnes that are still laying. Where a
small breeding flock can be cared for
it is best to make up pen of hens
that do not stop laying until October,
November or December. Such a pen
will improve the laying quality of
next years chicks.
Use Color as Guide
In culling now one should get rid Of
the birds that show by their deep vel
low legs, new glossy plumage and
thick, blunt pelvic arches that they
stopped laying early in the summer.
The hens that are laying now have full
bright waxy combs, soft pliable abdo-
men and bleached out shanks. A rag
ged bird that has just begun to mott
should not be culled now just because
she is not laying.

ABOUT THE NEW
MILITARY POLICY

I DO the people want u large standing
army II SO, with the knowledge
that the standing army at the out
break Of the war was about 10000
do they consider a standing army OF
100000 or 100000 a large army7
DO they believe that a standing ar.
my Of sufficient size to garrison the
Philippines. Hawaii. Canal Zone and
Army Post, could take care of the sit
uation, provided we had strong body
OF citizen soldiers, veterans either of
State or National service
Would they favor universal military
training, where the public school sys-
tenn, state armories If there be any, or
training grounds in centers Of popula-
tion could be used for the education Of
boys, say Of seventeen, and then given
tour of duty in vacation time, in the
field, where they might learn the rudi-
ments of military service, under the
supervision Of officers chosen from To-
cal organizations with whom they are
acquainted?
DO you believe that, instead of the
expensive draft system, the present
system, where jurors are selected,
might he used for the selection of
boys for military training?
Do you believe that, with four mil
lion veterans of the great war in the
Country, there is any necessity, in
view of what we are told about the
League of Nations doing away with
war, for the creation of Gn expensive
military training system in the coun-
try?
Do you believe that the citizen sol
diers, who bore the brunt Of fighting
as shock troops in the war, and who
came from all walks of life: from the
fields, the work-bench, the Office, from
the heads of firms and corporations
and from the various professions, who
have had experience, are qualified to
pass upon military policy for the
Country?

r.Nu AT MoosE FIoTUEEs
Blaze =. aried by Bay Destroys Half
of Film and SeAtters Crowd.

/ The Mooseheart picture show at the
high school auditorium on Monday
evening drew large crowd Of in
terested spectators. District Super
visor T. NJ Howell was in charge and
gave the opening address, an interest
ing talk on the purpose and work Of
the great order, and Rev. Rondthaler
followed with u description OF Moose
heart, the great home city and sani-
tarium of the order, where the widows
orphans and other dependents Of the
Moose are cared for. The moving
pictures were descriptive Of the work
and daily life Of the people ut Moose
heart and consisted OF four reels.
While the operator was running them
one of the high school boys was re
winding the reels and decided to strike
match to see how they were pasted
together. Whether he WAS cnlighten-
ed or not we have not learned, but
5000 worth Of films went up in one
big flash and considerable damage
was done by the blaze to the windU"
and ceiling OF the balcony. The crowd
had any fire drill ever invented beat
u city block as they emptied the room
in nothing flat with time to spare
if you know how quick that is. 1t
was very unfortunate that the aeci-
dent had to happen, and especially al
just the most interesting part o. the
pictures.
