CEsSFUL POULTRY RAISER

On DECEMBER otn, lsis' uoBdh
my project feeding for egg produc-
toin) with 100 pure-bred birds,
mostly white wyandottes.
The poultry house was in good
condition with a large scratch shed,
which had windows on the south
side. The only repairs necessary
we're two windows for the last end
of shed. The walls we're tight and
the ventilation good.
Twice each day corn and wheat
were fed in litter, which was about
Z or 8 inches deep. The mash was
fed in a long trough in the scratch
shed. It was composed of wheat
bran, shorts and feed scraps and the
birds had access to it at all times.
During the mild days Of winter the
fowls had access to a small rye patch
and a clover field.
The project lasted 4-1-2 months,
beginning Dec. Sth, 1919 and ending
April 25th, 1920. 1t ended in the
very flush of the egg season because
it became necessary to dispose Of
most of the flock to give safer quar-
ters for the three or four hundred
little chicks that had recently hatch
ed out.
Receipts were as follows:
Dec. 1856 dozen ........$ 21.07
Jan. 1852 dozen ...... 61.21
Feb. 1915 ............ 5000
March a465-12 s....... 57.56
April 139 IL .......... 1885
Total 579 1-3 ...... $249.7o
The highest price was CSC receiv-
ed in December. The lowest was
33c received in April.
Expenses were as follows:
Feed .'....'... ''%9o'oH
Two Windows ....... -. 10
The total expense was considered
s96.S2 as the windows were still on
hands and good as new when the
project ended.
The gain is therefore $152.SS.
This is a gain of $1.53 per bird for
the entire line on gain OF $1.4O on
the entire flock per day.
On the farm was another poultry
house containing the same number
of pure bred birds of the following
breeds: Barred Rocks, White Leg
horns, and White Wyandottes. These
were given the same feed and at
tention that flock No. 1 was given
but they did not lay any eggs to
amount to anything until about the
middle of March. This was due to
the difference in the houses. House
No. 2, though foored and the cracks
stripped fairly we'll, was not tight
enough for egg production in the
winter months. House No. was
much tighter and it had windows on
the east and south sides of the shed.
This let in the sun and made the
house much warmer and spring-like
during the winter.
wILDA CHINN,
What this young lady did any one
can do. You can make your poul-
try the most profitable department
of your farm business. Only three
things are necessary. First Gull the
birds and select only those that will
lay if given the proper environment.
Second, tighten up your hen house
and put in windows on the south
side. The house should be air and
waterproof above and on three
sides. The floor should be dry at
all times. Third. feed properly.
Her teacher in Agriculture, j. F..
Bruner, will be glad to assist any
one interested in the work. He is
at your service. Call on him,

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Revolution-

ceived by the State Department. The
international Communist organization
has branches in several countries, in

stated.
The Internationale will carry Bolshe-
vik propaganda into all countries, not
only with the consent of Lenine, but
actually under his direction, according
to the State Department announce
ment. The department made public
several messages" signed by the In
ternational to workers in other coun-
tries, including those where strikes are
now in progress. The announcement
read:

lncaendiaries Ffre Tax

OIice Barracks
Also Attacked
Easter Demonstrations
Fail TO Develop Into
Zig Effort of Force
By Frank Getty

FROM Ihe Irabune's European Bureau
Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Incl
LONDON, April "A series of in
cendlary attacks on the offices of tax
collectors in Belfast, Dublin and Cork
was made last night. Fire brieades
were kept busy throughout the night
and government officials were on edge.
Great quantities of government docu-
ments were destroyed by the fires.
The damage was greatest in Cork.
Flres were set by the incendiaries
also to unoccupied police barracks in
various parts of the country, which
were raided by the night-riders before
being destroyed.
The incidents have stirred the gov
ernment's military forces, which have
taken extraordinary precautions
throughout Ireland to prevent trouble
at Easter, but they are not considered
here as precursors to rising Monday
such as occurred on BLACK Monday''
four years ago.
Belfast Is Isolated
Further efforts of the military to
block any uprising resulted to-day in
the cutting of teleeraphic communica-
ton between Belfast and the outside
world. At Londonderry the government
officials seized large quantity of re-
volver ammunition which arrived Sat-
urday by ship.
Dublin had another shooting mystery
to-day similar in many ways to the fire.

and private citizens A soldier in

have been a spy, was found shot

Ammunition Aboard Steamer

LONDON, April fBy The Associ-
ated Press) In connection with the
searching by the police of Glasgow
steamer arriving at Londonderry, "The
London Times" says it is stated that
the authorities learned that certain
persons we're believed to be on their
way to Ireland from America, by way
of Glasgow. 1t is reported also that
after the passengers left the steamer
box of ammunition was found on the
deck. The supposed owner, surprised
by the police, dumped it overheard to
escape the consequences.
The Dress Association says that the
authorities have received reports that
more than sixty police barracks and
posts, for the most part unoccupicd,
have been destroyed during the week
end and that two policemen were shot
and seriously wounded at Ballyhauns

Easter Demonstrations Fail

DUBLIN, April 4 (By The Associated
Press) -Eastcr demonstrations in
Ireland did not develop into a
spectacular effort of force against The
government. which tho adhcrents Of
the republican cause considered would
be suicidal but thcrc was a series of
outrages in many parts of the island.
The macontents took new angle IN
their work when they attacked sixteen
tax Offices in many cities and towns,
destroying the records in various ways,
but mostly by FIRE.
The attacks against police barracks
and police huts numbered thirtyfvc
In most of the cases the police had
left the barracks to go to concentra-
ton points in the larger cities where
only women and children were left in
the barracks or huts. The raiders
gave warning of their intentions.
Hence there were no casualties.
At Dublin Castle tonight it was
stated that the destruction of the
tax records would avail nothing. All
citizens whose records have been le-
stroyed will he reassesscd, and their
taxes are likely to be increased by the
need Of funds to replace the barracks
and huts destroyed.
Two Soldiers Wounded
Attacks on the police barracks and
government Offices are reported from
Lime rick, both town and county, and
also from several places in County
Clare. No casualties are yet reported,
except for the wounding of two sol.
diers by John Mitchell. whom they ar
rested at Glcnadc, Lcitrim County.

Where is the Money Going?

The people think the war made
milljoDaires-that is the cause of the
unrest and discomfort. No platform
that merely rants about American
ism" is going to make an appeal to
citizens who are in this mood.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine out
of a thousand know themselves to
be good loyal American citizens, but
they are not satisfied with conduct
of things which has made it pos
sible for some men to become i'm
mensely wealthy during the war
while others bore the burden.
Maybe if citizens were asked to
point out some man who became
immensely wealthy during the war,
they would not be able to do it. That
is not the point, anyway. The point
is that citizens in large numbers be-
Iieve that to have been the case, and
for that reason they are not going
to react favorably to campaign cry
OF "Americanism," laudable as such
a cry may be.
A campaign cry of where is the
money going will meet reader re-

Marrying and Fleeing.

Men marry almost always because
they expect to make themselves hap
pier by so doing. They are not seek

ers. But witt the joys, pleasures,
privileges, HAPPINESS of married life
usually come burdens and RESPONSE
bilities. Not infrequeptly a number
OF children arrive to bless and bur-
den the married couple. Then is the
time when recreant men take to
their heels, some desperately, sCme
callOusly, some sneeringly SLOUGH
ing off the burdens and inconven
fences of support and caring for tEc
family. They leave the care of Their
families to the deserted wives and
to the public.
Wife desertion is now a common
practical sort of epidemic. Men
find the burdens of family life piling
up too high for them to handle con-
veniently and pleasurably- and
they skip. Off they go to other fields
and pastures new. They disappear
Perhaps they start anew somewhere
Sometimes the law makes an effort
to locate the deserters and bring
them back to their responsibilities
Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the
authorities say that it is cheaper to
let the renegade go.
The desertion of wives and famil-
les by men would not be so likely
if marriage were not such an off
hand affair with many, perhaps if
engagements of some length were re-
quired. But when a desertion occurs
a greater effort should be made by
the authorities to locate the desert
er and to compel him to aid and
support his family The question of
what is the cheaper and easier
course ought not to enter into the

Building Character.

The character Of the building re-
fleets the soul of the man. The gen.
eral plan reveals the IDEAL Of the
builder. Strong characters can't be
evolved from shallow natures. There
must be the character stuff there to
build on. No matter how rough this
may be there are processes by which
II may be made smooth. But you
never can put fi1ish on things nat
urally inferior. The very process re-
veals the lack Of worth on which to
build. It's different with great souls.
These, like great rivers, are not easily
ruffled. The currents of their thought.
like deep wa tiers. refuse to become
choppy with every ripping wind that
passes over them. Gales and freshets
are not without their influence. but
they can never change the nature Of
things. n
