Not all eggs from the best breeding

Often the eggs are small. uneven In

eggs should never be incubated, as

from them often lay understood eggs.

DUAL-PURPosE HEN A GOOD ONE;
CAPABLE In BOTH RING AND YARD

A h,n. in order to be classed as
genuinely good one, should be
equally capable Of going in the show
ring and taking a ribbon or Of going
on the yard and making a record as
a layer. And the breeder, in order
TO get the advantages of the best and
broadest markets, must breed for a
combination of utility and standard
quality instead Of following the
tendency TO become either a fancier
or utility breeder. That is the adj
vice of Rob. b. Slocum, a poultry
specialist OF the United States
Department of Agriculture, and it is
based largely on the poultry farm
Of the department at Beltsville, Md,
where many of the exhibition males
used have 2OO-egg production in
their pedigrees.
Except in few more or less
isolated cases." says Mr.. Slocum,
there is nothing in the standard
requirements directly opposed to
utility, and the buyers during the
past few years have shown an in
creasingly insistent demand for
fowls that have reproducing abil-
ity back of them"
Fanciers, Mr.. Slocum poitns out,
are too prone TO put the appearance
of the fowl above everything else,
and thus to neglect the egg-laying
quality, while, on the other hand,
unsuccessful fanciers are likely to
turn completely to the egg-produc-
ing side of breeding without any
attention TO points" Either Of these
attitudes, he says, is an obstruction
TO the best development of poultry
raising in the United States.
The Department of Agriculture"
he continues, encourages poultry
breeders to develop flocks along
breeding lines to secure combina-
ton of good production, vigor, and
uniform standard type. That goal
is readily attainable through care
full selection of breeding stock,
and those who follow the policy
suggested may confidently expect the
most attractive markets"

Little Capital 10 Required and Moth

Side Line.

Poultry raising requires very little
capital, but there are very few side
lines. II indeed there are any. that are
equal to It for profitable production.
Much is said Of the time II requires
for raising young fowls. But do not
forget that when they are managed
properly the fowls pay literally for
the time required to raise them.
Farming Is greatly handicapped for
lack of cash and when any side
line can be found that requires little
money but considerable labor It Is at
tractive. Such is poultry raising on

only by making an inventory that

THE VALUE OF DRIED FRUITS

The dried fruits are rich in min
eral elements, and for this reason
should be used freely in the diet.
They contain some fuel supplying
qualities; four prunes when cooked
have a fuel value Of 100 calories.
The fruits are among the body regu-
lators and keep us well. So we
should use them freely.
The United States Government
during the war recommended oat-
meal. prunes. whole milk, bread and
butter as an ideal breakfast for
children. and suggested that corn
meal mush and apple sauce be al
tcrnated with the oatmeal Canned
blackberries, peaches or other fruits
may be substituted. Such break
fasts are easily and cheaply obtain
ed here in the mountain region.
In purchasing dried fruits il is
well to remember that prunes are
not sold according TO quality but TO
size. All prunes have the same
quality. They are graded by the
number in the pound, ranging from
twenty-thirties TO nincty-hundreds.
However, the cheapest prunes are
neither the very small ones or the
very large ones, which cost the
most, but the middle ones, the thirty
fortys. and the forty-flfties.
These prunes have the least
amount of pits. that is the seeds
weigh less and the skins are thin
nest hence we get more food value
for the money. II is well TO buy
prunes by the box il your family is
large, and il il is small TO buy them
in five and ten pound lots, as prunes
must be soaked two or three days
TO be really appetizing.
All dried fruits must be soaked
well. They lose as much as
seventy-lve and even larger per
cent Of water in the drying and
storing process and they are most
appetizing when they have had a
chance TO regain this water. Peach
es and apricots may be soaked one
day. Cherries require longer
soaking. Apples need much soak
ing. II is well to wash the fruit
thoroughly and then use the water
in which IL was soaked TO cook IL
in. Pour this water Off and add as
much sugar or sweetening as you
desire and cook IL until the sugar Is
dissolved. Place the fruit in the
syrup. cover with a tight lid and
cook il very slowly, until tender.
II cooked on the stove turn the
burner very low.
Dried peaches are divided into
two classes. the yellow Crawford
and the Muir. They are also graded
according TO size, but the element
Of quality and flavor also are de-
termining factors. The Feelings are
easily removed from the peaches
after they have been soaked for some
little time. The peeled peaches are
now dried and may be purchased
in bulk or in packages as may
prunes which have had the pits re-
moved.
