It is an unusual business that sue
ceeds when little or no attention is
given to it's details. Poultry raising
certainly is not in this class, and yet
many people complain that there are
no profits to be made with poultry,

cuIIing the SIackers.
Take, for instance, culling the flock.
One who has a flock, One-third of
whose members are not paying board
ers, must expect to have his profits cut
down one-third The intelligent culing
of the poultry flock is of utmost i'm
portance for success in poultry keep
ing. Culling serves three purposes,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
First, it increases the profits by insur-
ing that the feed will be consumed by
the Oetter-producing hens, the profit
payers, and will not be consumed by
the poor producers that are kept at
loss. Second, it makes it possible to
save those best suited for breeders,
both on account of their better pro
ductiOn and on account of their SUI
perior strength and vitality, which
have enabled them to stand up under
the severe strain of heavy laying.
Third, wedding out the poor hen gives
those left more room and q better
chance.
CuHing should be continuous
throughout the year. This continuous
culling should cause to be Weeded out,
when discovered, any hen that is sick,
very thin, or shows evidences of non
production, weakness, or poor vitality.
The whole flock should also be given q
careful and systematic culling at least
once during the year. When single
systematic culling is made, the best
time to do it is in the early fall. The
hens should be handled individually
and gone over carefully, with the OBJ

Animal Feed Needed.

Many small poultry keepers, while
accepting the purchase of grain as a
part and parcel of poultry keeping,
seem to feel that animal feed, whether
green cut bone, meat scraps, or animal
meal is a kind of luxury that can be
dispensed with; but if poultry man
is to get the best results from his
fowls in winter, he must furnish this
kind of feed. Green cut bone is
usually fed by itself, while the scrap
and meal may be readily mixed with
the ration. Cut bone consists of green
or fresh bone, sliced or shaved into
thin pieces, but beef bones fresh from
the butchers have more Or less matter
adhering to them, and the more OF
such matter the better, for the com
bination of bone and meat is excel
lent for producing eggs. Green-cut
bone should be fed carefully and in
sweet condition, otherwise bowel trou-
BILE may result. One pound a day is
sufficient for % hens, but not over
one-half pound should be fed to that
number when first beginning to feed
it. The mash for laying hens should
contain from Is to 20 per cent of meat
scraps: that is, one pound Of meat
scraps in five or six pounds Of mash.
After the fowls have become accus-
toned to animal meal or meat scraps
II may be kept constantly before

Then in my dream, thought that a
special election was being held in the
spring Of 1921, to see if the people Of
Colorado wer willing to issue bonds
in the sum of s25.000.00O with which
to build a system of cement roads,
ike the one from Denver to Golden.
The campaign was a hot one: some
people claimed it was not right to
bond The state for such purposes, but
all of the papers in the state were in
favor of il, and at the election, the
majority of the people voted in favor
of the bonds, and they carried. A
commission was appointed by the gov
ernor. and it was found that the s25.-
100000 would be sufficient to build
these cement roads, connecting UP the
state in all directions. At last. Cali
fornia was to have nothing over Colo
rado in good roads, and after the ce-
ment roads were completed, the cost
of keeping up the present dirt roads.
paid for the bonds in less than 20
years, and the population of Colorado
increased 100000 people during this
time.
Then, again, saw in my dream, our
great government, looking worward to
the welfare of its people, had decided
to build a great dam, 1000 feet high,
between the granite walls in the Royal
Gorge where the hanging bridge now
is. which would impound great body
of food waters, sufficient to irrigate
100000 acres of virgin soil, on both
sides of the Arkansas river, as far
down as the Kansas state line, and the
nished millions of electric horsepower,
sufficient. not only to carry the great
trains of the Rio Grande railroad over
Eight Mile Park and the Tennessee
pass, but also enough to supply cleo
tric power for great factories up and
down the Arkansas river, and espe-
cially at Canon City. Thus, Canon
City. became a great manufacturing g
center, and the payroll from the fac
tories at Canon City amounted to over
81 900, 900 a month. and the population
had increased to $4,000 happy. salts

Before ] awoke from my dream,

good to be true" and yet, the next
morning as l drove my car down town

I said: Why not?" Things Ike
these have happened 10 other states;
why can not they come true in Canon
