supplying the fowls with all available
table scraps it will usually cost from
50 to IS cents q year per fowl for
grain and other feeds. A good egg
laying ration should consist OF the
following: Three parts corr meal and
one part beef scrap mixed together
and fed in Il dry-mash hopper to which
the fowls will have access at all times.
In addition TO this a scratch ration
consisting of equal parts cracked corn
and oats should be fed twice daily.
When no table scraps are available 1t
will take about one quart of scratch
grain 6aily for twelve to fourteen
| fowls. However, this can be reduced
when table scraps are fed and a GER
tain amount of natural green feed,
such as grass, is available.
In providing the fowls with a suit
able house it should be remembered
that the essentials of such a building
are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and
sufficient space so that the fowls Will
not be crowded. Usually each fowl
should be allowed four square feet OF
floor space. If available, scrap lum-
Der from dry-goods boxes, etc, can be
utilized to construct such a house. The
cost will be considerably less than
when lumber is purchased. If sufii-
Gent lumber is not available for the
entire house a rough framework well
covered with ordinary roofing or tar
paper will answer the immediate
needs.
When the heavier fowls plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
Reds, ctc.) are kept all females should
be disposed of at the end of their sec
ond year inasmuch as in most cases
they will cease to be profitable at the
end of that time. The lighter breeds
(Leghorns, etc.), however, can be prof
itably kept as long rs three years. by
disposing of the hens in this way a
part of the flock must be renewed each
year. Consequently, considering that
the percentage of cockerels and puilets
is usually about the same, and that
n certain percentage will die before
reaching maturity, it is customary tc
hatch more chicks each year thar
there are hons in the flock.

Vigilance is the price not only of
liberty but of successful cooperative
marketing. A city cooperative mar
ket may have fine buildings and
equipment, but unless it is supervised
by a competent manager who dill
gently enforces a we'll worked out
system of operation, the enterprise
will sooner or later fail. This is the
rock on which practically all unsuc-
ces9ful markets have broken, say city
marketing specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
II a system of municipal markets is
not so operated as to provide a place
where people can purchase food more
cheaply than at other food distribut-
ing agencies, the system is not Justl-
fed, the specialists believe. While it
is true that public markets are useful
in that they assemble and make
readily available a large assortment
of certain products, some of which
might otherwise be wasted, this is of
relatively minor Importance in de-
termining the markets success, Well
operated markets may also benefit
practically all consumers by furnish
ing competition which will stimulate
private food dispensing agencies to
operate more efficiently and to charge
lower prices than they would if the
| competition of the markets did not

Have you ever thought about how
many times every ear OF corn has to
be handled in the ordinary course of
things? Here are the essential handl-
ings:
/. When the ear is pulled off the
stock and thrown into the wagon bed.
2. When it is thrown from the
wagon bed into the crib.
3. When the husk is removed from
the ear, either in the field or in the
crib.
4. When the basket is filled at the
crib to be taken to the horse stall or
hogpen.
5. When the corn is fed to the ami
NAL. .t, q.
With labor-saving systems the num-
Der may be reducedby one OF two.
Under certain systems OF harvesting,
on teh other hand, it is frequently in
creased by one or two. But five will
be about the average number.
Now, five landings of an ear of
corn, with farm labor at present
prices, cost enough to make a pretty
considerable charge item against the
value Of the ear. Every farmer doubt
less, does more or less thinking about
how to avoid it.
Under general farm conditions the
hog is the solution-not for too much
OF the corn grown on the farm, OF
course, but for a considerable portion
of it, enough to help out the labor
supply materially.
Plan Before Corn Is Laid By
The hog does not merely reduce the
number OF landings. He eliminates
handling completely. All that is nee
essary is to open the gate and drive
the hogs into the field with a good
fence around it. They clean up the
corn with less waste than if it were
harvested by men, and they put on
more pounds of flesh than ii the same
quantity of corr were fed to then
in a pen or a dry lot.
The hogging down of corn has
been preached by the United States
Department of Agriculture for a Ions
time, but the hog experts put especia
emphasis on it now, when labor il
high and hard to get. In addition
to the advantageous points mention
ed, they call attention to the fac
fact that it is a great aid to sell i'm
provement because practically all thu
fertilizer value of the corn, both ear
and stalks, is returned Immediately t.
the soil.
Thought should be given right nov
to the matter of hogging down corn
the eperts say, because certain thing
can be done that will greatly add t.
the feeding value of a field of corn
In regions where the seed will mature
cowpeas, soy beans, or velvet beans
sown broacast through the corn at tn,
last cultivation, produce a larg'
quantity of feed in addition to tn
corn. Recently velvet beanshave beef
used in this way with great success
in the south. The peas or beans, be
ing high in protein, balance the ration
and make almost an ideal feed TO
hog ~fattening. Thehogs eat not onl,
the peas of beans themselves, bu
much of the vines remains succulen
is ndkx lta
and is eaten avidly and to advantage
Rape is another excellent thing t
broadcast in the corn at the last cul
tivation to help out the sum total 0
hog feed. The blowing under of tn
corn stalks and the vegetation left b
the peas or beans and rape adds t
the soil the humus necessary to IL
creased crop yields.

Renting Market Stalls

or other outside influences.
Renting Market Stalls
Most successful markets rent the
stalls from month to month. By this
method, no question of a long lease
will interefer with electing a dealer
in ease he refuses to conduct his bust
ness in accordance with the market
rules and regulations and in the best
interests of the market as a whole.
All equipment, such as counters,
racks, c~old-storage boxes and, il pos
sible, computing scales, should be
owned by the city, so that no dealer
will acquire property rights in the
permanent fixtures in the stall.
The manager should exert every eff
fort to attract dealers of the best
type to the market. He should re-
uuire all occupants of stalls to keep
simple, uniform records which should
be available for his examination SO
atht he can ascertain at least the vol

dealers cost Of doing business and
his net profits.
In all his efforts to better merchan-
dising methods in the market, the
manager should keep in mind, two
fundamental things: Q) To justify
the existence of the market, consum-
crs must obtain food more cheaply
than it can be obtained from most
private stores; (2) to induce the
dealers to make this cheaper food pos
sible, they must be given a greater
aggregate return than if they were II
business merely as private storekeep-
ers. The competent manager, II
given adequate powers by the city
can accomplish both aims. One OF
the first regulations should be to
strip from the price of food products
as completely as possible all charges
for service normally hidden in The
price. A dollar spent in the market
should bring a dollars worth of food
not, say s. cents worth of food, II
cents worth of delivery and 5 cent:
worth of vredit. The majority OF
those who buy in the market pay casf

Overlooking kills more chicks than
underfeeding.
Little and often is a good feeding
rule for newly Matched chicks.
Eggs for incubator Matching should
be fresh, the fresher the better.
Il Il +
This is the time of year when poul-
try quarters need to be made safe from
rats.
Ducklings should be ready for the
green duck market at from ten to
fourteen weeks of age.
A good, well-regulated incubator will
hatch eggs with far more certainty and
do it more cheaply than can be done
with hens.
Much dc the trouble often found in
hrooding chicks is due alone to feed
sfng too early, or in excess during the
first few days.
Scales on chickens legs are caused
bv a mite. This mite can best be con
trolled and disposed of by the use Of
heavy black crude oil.
