DEMONSTRATION ON
CULL|NG POULTRY TO
Be HELD HERE SOON
Expert From State Experiment Sta
ton VIII Teach Mason Poultry
Fancier How to Select Non.
Producing Hens.

The poultry culling campaign so
long discussed is now at hand, and
farmers will have an opportunity to
find out how much feed has been vast
ed and can, in the future, be saved by
eliminating these boarders. 1t has
been found in the various Experiment
Stations throughout the country that
it is possible to select the largest peri
centage of laying hens by system of
culling, Practically every farmer
knows that he cannot afford to keep
non-producing hens and yet few real
ize that chickens consume a large
amount of feed in a year and unless
on-producing hens are eliminated,
the income from the poultry flock will
be greatly reduced on account Of the
feed consumed by these non producing
hens.
Culling demonstrations will be held
in Mason county on August Sd and 4th,
and all those interested in learning
how to tell the layer from the loafer
are urged to be present. Places will
be announced later Demonstrations
will be given by Mr.. A. s. Chaplin, who
is we'll known 60 Mason county poultry
fanciers.

cataclysmal war.
Our first committal Is the restora-

when we saw the structure Of o

ism had not been dimmed, the delayed
peaceNof the world and the tragedy OF

have been avoided. The Republicans

Whooping cough IS the mean

Itself, except to children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
70 long-the coughing paroxys1ns
are so violent, preventing proper

the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-

remains.
During this period Of conval-
