Telling the Census Man

Ftw are indisposed to tell Uncle
Sam, in confidence, how old they are
wher he comes around to ask ques-
tions for his row census-or to re-
spond to any other intimate queries
needed to establish broad general facts
knowledge of which is necessary to
the general welfare.
In all the new reforms and uplifts,
you recollect, it has been sedulously
preached that no man can live to him
self alone. However, this may be in
terpreted in bchalf of .hc reforms and
uplifts, it remains true that in order to
live comfortably with 1000. .OOO. 900 peo-
pie an unbroken reticerce cannot be
preserved. There are some things they
have a right to know-at least in the
mass, though not individually.
Age is important. for If Uncle Sam
finds out enough under this head, wise
men may devise a system by which
everybody can live to be 100; and we
realize how desirable this is, at a
period when so many interesting and
thrilling events are comIrg to pass.
One really wants TO keep on being here
until the League of Nations contro-
versy is threshed out if t takes decade
after decade to do it.

Telling Joey Where to Get on

1t took old fightin' Bill Sims, to tell
Joscphus Daniels where to get off! The
Admiral has the old love for the honor
and the traditions of the United States
Navy and Mr.. Daniels has no use for
them. Therefore he made the honor Of
the navy thing for favoritism. What
a rebuke to the men who have given
their lives to the service!

WOMEN FOLKS BEGINNING
TO GULL OUT Stacker HENS
In Missouri Alone 73,76j Birds Were
Eliminated From Producing
FlOcks Last Year

In Missouri last year, 1876 birds
were eliminated from 1888 flocks
which were culled under the supervi
sion of the home demonstration
agents sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college. This re-
suited in saving Of approximately
$50,161 to their owners.
In another state, 4S6 local dealers
were trained, with the result that
THAT'S birds were culled. OF this
number, 274,399 were found to be
non-productive.
About 81 per cent of all tbe~poul-
t"y in the country is cared for hy
women For that reason spa" al at
tention is given to poultry by the
home clubs supervised by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the state
colleges, and farm women are taught
best methods of poultry selection,
breeding, raising, feeding, housing,
culling, canning surplus birds for
home use, preservation of eggs, and
cooperative selling OF poultry pro
ducts.
Lack of proper culling thus far has
proved to be, in the majority OF
cases, the principal reason why a
flock is not profitable. Forty per
cent of the hens in the average farm
flock today are nonproductive, and
should be sold or eaten. 1t costs
about 50 a year to feed each hen. If
she does not produce more than that

RESULTS FROM sUNFIOw.
Frs SATISFACTORY
(by r. T.. IialiRrd)

sunaowers for ensiiage have pass
ed the experimental stage In the state
OF Oregon. the eastern part OF which
is similar In many essential features
TO large areas In the eleven western
states and are this spring being
pisnted bv the hundreds OF acres In
many OF the leading livestock coun-
ties. The reason for the enthusiasm
lies In the fact that ensilage has In
eastern Oregon been recognized In
many counties as valuable feed for
stock cattle. dairy herds and sheep.
but because OF the high altitude pre-
yailing In some districts and the dry
