HEN MUST LAY
OR BE KILLED
That Is What the Clark County Farm
Bureau Agent Tells Them and
Their Owners in an
Interview.

"Culling should be more or less Of
a continuous practice with every
poultry flock" says w A. Hook, of
Kahoka Whenever a bird shows
any evidence of weakness it should
be Immediately disposed Of AS the
growing stock develops all stunted.
naked or otherwise weakened chicks
should be marketed for sale or
slaughter. With laying hens the
major part of the culling should be
done in the fall, but at any time the
hens show evidence Of having ceased
to be profitable egg producers, they
should be disposed of.
"As soon as the weather gets hot
the poor hens will quit laying and
begin molting, and as soon as this
happens the bird so affected should
be sold 1t is not advisable to sell
hens when they get broody as broodi-
ness is usually sign that the hens
have been laying and If measures
are taken to break up the desire TO
sit she will begin laying again within
few days Hens that are over-fat
and show tendency to sit continu-
ously would offer sufficient excuse
for selling them"

The recent exposure OF the very

figures on the special taxes paid

Just one dog owner has paid the

In Keokuk $40 license tags for
dogs have been issued, and they are
going out fast. In Keokuk, All dogs
not licensed by the city clerk are
painlessly and thoroughly killed by
the police in a gas box.
In Fort Madison, they are talking
about having the police 30 out and
shoot at the dogs, but there has been
nothing in the line of collecting the
money for the sheep fund except
talk in Fort Madison 10 date.

To Test Prohibition.

Minneapolis Journal: The Journal
has already taken occasion to ques-
ton the wisdom Of interfering with
the war prohibition law at this time.
The fact Is, the country is ''all set"
TO try out prohibition. The big liquor
manufacturers have their plans 1nade
for utilizing their plants along other
lines; employees have made IL. ir
arrangements for other work; the
man who drinks much or little feels
that the drought might as well come
now as six months from now. The
adjustment now In process Of taking
place may better continue than be
for a brief period of six
months. The American people are
going TO test out prohibition. II
they like It, they will continue it. II
4 pronounced majority of them find
81 distasteful, the liquor business in
some form and on better basis than
in the past viii return. But we are
going to try prohibition first, and the
sooner the better.

stagnant building material mar

union leaders attending the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention
here today.
Samuel Griggs. president OF the

serted 100000 building trades work

resolution which was expected to
come before the convention shortly,
asking congress to Immediately pro
vide money so work on federal build

that will start the ball rolling.

Singing Before Work.

Beresford Republic: The employees
OF the T. S. Martin store indulge in
chorus singing before going to work
in the morning Quite an idea. Too
many Of US think the day should be
begun with a crouch, and then things
go wrong all day. There is always
place for light heart. and heavy
heartedness never finds a rns,,orse
But in spite of this fact If is 60 ofton
the case that it is so much easier ~
"cuss" than to sing-we seem ~
take 10 the one rather than the other
-that Inadvertently there is the
froWn instead of the smile. The
singing act is all right, the only cav
ing chance being that it is not ueces-
sary to sing when anyone is listen
ing.

OF Iowa. He had previously held the
same office in Ohio.
