Annual Election
! at State Hospital

The annual election of officers for
State Hospital No. was held Mon
day, and resulted in the reelection of
DR.. T. F. Frazer, of Commerce, and
DR.. Prentiss S. Tate, of Morley, As
sistant Physicians; Norman E. Bugg,
Of Potosi, Steward; Margaret l..
Gray, of New Madrid, Matron, and j.
II. Jones, of Pennington, Treasurer.
There was no opposition for any of
these places, which speaks volumes
for the efficiency and harmony in the
management of that splendid insGitu-
ton. The high efficiency of the hos
pital staff, the harmonious unity of
purpose which characterizes their
work, guarantees the continued sue
cess that has marked the manage
ment under the present administration.
The patient and considerate treat
ment of the patients at all times
stands out most prominently as a
wide mark Of distinction in the man
agement of this institution, which has
received the "highest award" in the
report of the State Examining Board
among the eleemosynary institutions
of the State. The Training School for
Nurses, which has recently been es-
tablished there, has already proven to
be most beneficial, resulting in even
additional kindness, courtesy and con-
sideration being shown the patients.
Another noteworthy feature in con-
nection with State Hospital No. A.
whether or not it has, anything to do
with the constant advance Of that in
stitution, we are unable to state-is
that the present management, from
DR.. j. L. Eaton, Superintendent, down,
are all, for the first time in the his
tory of that institution, native South
cast Missourians.

PLEAD GUILTY TO
STEALING CHICKENS

Forley Leach, Orville Leach, David
Bell, Earl Bell, Marvin Brown and
Paul Dalton, boys of Taylortown,
ranging in age from to Is years,
were arraigned before Juvenile Judge
R: G. Tucker Monday for stealing
chickens. All plead guilty and were
paroled upon the payment of costs
and the promise of good behavior.
1t seems that chicken-stealing is
getting to be rather common diver
sion among the younger boys, who do
not seem to care whether they are
law-abiding or not. Last week three
boys were tried before Judge Tuck
er, making, with the six mentioned
above, total of nine boys who have
been tired within the last two weeks
for stealing chickens.

Another New
Counterfeit.


Counterfeiters have found a now
field of activity, according to reports
from the Treasury Department: at
Washington. In certain parts Of
the country counterfeits have been
discovered in this years issue of War
Savings Stamps. Departments Of
the Government are trying to appre-
bend the persons responsible for the
distribution of the fake reproduc-
tions Of the little securities.
Banks and Stamp Agents and Post
masters are requested to communi-
cate at once with the Chief of the
United States Secret Service at
Washington when such are presented.
The counterfeits are being attached
to genuine certificates. They are a
Photographic reproduction in good
color blue ink, but the fine lines be-
hind the portrait in the genuine APP
pear in solid color in the counterfeit.
The perforations of the genuine
stamps appear photographed on those
which are not genuine.
"Counterfeiters seem to know u
good thing when they see it," said a
Treasury official, cor they would not
take a chance of term in the Fed
eral pententiary by putting out re-
productions of War Savings Stamps.

Hot Weather Hard On Chicks.
Severely hot weather Is hard on
little chicks. Constant are and at
tention are essential to carry the
young birds through the first six
weeks without loss, particularly If the
weather is hot and oppressive during
this period. 1t is highly important
that chicks shall have passed the dan
ger point before summer is on full
force. This necessitates that the
chicks be early rather than late
Matched.
Unless pullets are Matched early,
matured and well settled in their win
ter quarters before cold weather sets
in, 1t is difficult to get them to lay.
Generally 1t takes from six and one-
half to eight months for pullets of the
general purpose breeds including the
Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red,
Wyandotte and Orpington varieties to
mature and start laying. Hatched
early in the season they will have
ample time to mature.
Early Matching. n season Will
make IT easier to hatch early the fol-
lowing year.. Early Matched pullets
begin to lay in the fall and winter and
by the time early spring comes will
usually have produced a considerable
number of eggs and many of them will
show a desire to sit. If on the other
hand, the pullets are Matched late.
they do not begin to lay until late
winter or early spring and conse-
quently T not likely to be broody
when 1t is time to start Matching.
Early Matching leads to early laying
and early laying develops early brood
mess, completing a cycle which should
be the roundrobin aspiration of every
progressive poultryman.

HIGH PRODUCING DAIRY cow
Animal Is Delicate and Well Balanced
Piece Of Machinery-Good Shell
ter Is Important.

A high-producing dairy animal is a
delicate and well-balanced piece of
machinery, and consequently she can
not continue normal production If she
is exposed to severe winter weather.
It is therefore essential that the dis
comforts incident to cold weather be
eliminated If possible. The comfort
able cow will repay in milk the neces-
sary labor for her protection. Dairy
men as a rule are more careful with
their cows than the average farmer
who merely produces the milk for fam
lily use.

Poultry Studies Wide in Scope.

In its efforts to encourage the broad
development of poultry raising in the
United States, the bureau of animal
industry of the United States depart.
ment of agriculture is conducting in.
v~estigations to establish the best
methods of raising many varieties of
fowls. The present scope of the work
includes not only the feeding, breed.
ing. and care of ordinary poultry, but
also the raising of pigeons. squads.
guineas, turkeys, and many other
birds, including o%striches. The flesh
of squads, turkeys, guineas, geese and
ducks makes a pleasing variety in the
diet, and with wild fowls now becom-
ing less available, 1t is important that
a sufficient number of domestic birds
be raised to keep the market con
stantly supplied. The problem now is
chiefly one of farm production, which
requires expert knowledge if adequate
supplies are to be continued.

Peak Prices for nroIIers.

1t is economical practice to mature
and fatten fowls for early market. as
usually the peak prices are paid for
such pre-seasoned broilers and spring
ers. Early Matching is a prerequisite
for the production of mnrket-tuppine
cockerels. The early chicks ure

lied the same investment would have
purchased the necessary bulls at an
average of $3.50. On the farms mem
toned nearly foul times as many bulls
were used as would have been required
under proper organization. The farm
ers were therefore feeding four bulls
when they should have been feeding
only one.
Data from one of the first bull asso-
Citations organized under the direction
of the department of agriculture il
lustrate this very well. Before the
association was formed the bulls in
use had an average market value of
$50. The average price paid by the
association for registered bulls was
$240. Price does not always CORE
spond to value, yet as the bulls were
carefully selected the price in this
case is doubtless a fair index of true
worth. In this association each farm
er's investment for a share in a good
registered bull was $14 less than his
former Investment in an animal of in
ferior breeding and doubtful merit.
Actual first-cost figures from other
cooperative bull associations are v en
more encouraging. In n association
having more than 100 members the
original cost to each member vas only
$23. The members already have had
the use of good p%ure-bred bulls for four
years and probably will have their use
six years longer without additional
cost other than for maintenance. An
other association with more than so
members has had the use of good pure
bred bulls for more than seven years
at an average investment of less than
$25 a member, with prospects of be-
ing able to use them for three or four
years more. Practically all dairymen
desire to raise pure-bred cattle, but
comparatively few can afford individ-
ually to purchase such bulls as r
needed to develop a profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur-
chase of registered females.
When questioned regarding the value
of cooperative bull associations, $50
farmers in Maryland, Michigan and
Minnesota estimated that the use of
bulls belonging ito the organization in
creased the value of the offspring in
the first generation from 80 to 80 per
cent, with an average of 65 per cent.
Usually in business transactions in
which there is a probability of great
gain there is a possibility of heavy
loss, but in bull associations the
little probability of loss. The invest
ment is so small and the chance for
herd improvement sc great that the net
returns greatly exceed the small orig
inal investment.

DAIRY COWS REQUIRE SALT
Best Plan to Give Small Quantity In
Feed and Place Rock Salt in

The dairy COW requires an ounce of
salt a day, and while she should be
given all she needs, she should not be
forced to take more than she wants.
It is best, therefore. to give only a
small quantity in the feed and to place
