KEEPING CHICKENS IN TOWN
One Of Best Ways for Loyal American
to Help Win War is to Raise
Hens In Back Yard.

prepared by the United States Depart
ments Of Agriculture)
Every true American is asking,
"How can best do my part to help
win the warp One Of the means to
this end is TO set the back yard to
work. Those who have suitable land
are cultivating vegetable gardens to
help increase the food supply. There
are, however, many back yards not
suitable for the making of garden
which may be profitably utilized for
back yard poultry keeping. In every
household, no matter how economical
the housewife, there is a certain
amount of table scraps and kitchen
waste which has feeding value, but
which, If not fed, finds its way into
the garbage pail. Poultry is the only
class of domestic animals which is
suitable for converting this waste ma
terial, right where 1t is produced in
the city, into wholesome and nutritious
food in the form of eggs and poultry
meat. A small number of chickens can
be kept in almost any back yard.
If poultry houses are not available,
hens can be housed at small expense in

Y. w. c. A. Saves Wife Of General
From Becoming charwoman.
When-the war work of the Y. W. c..
A. in Russia has all been told one of
the most interesting stories will lie In
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day Processes work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money Is
used for self support of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
II was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der of people II was thought best to
expend 1t to help capitalize organiza-

opportunities to families and individu-

The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, ETC.,

Suitable work was found just in time
not long ago to keep the wife Of one Of
Russia's greatest generals from going

plano boxes or other large packing
cases. Their eggs should make sub
stantial addition to the family food
supply. Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs. The
average size Of the back yard flock
should be at least ten hens. Thus
each flock would produce In a year 100
dozen eggs. which at the conservative
value of % cents a dozen would be
worth $25. BY keeping a back yard
poultry flock the family would not only
help In reducing the cost Of living, but
would have eggs Of a quality and fresh
ness which are often difficult to obtain.
