"There isn't any money In hens. OF
course, we want fresh eggs and plenty
of chickens to eat on our own table,
but as for their being a money-making
proposition there's nothing to It.
Why, they don't even pay for their
Keep"
This statement is often heard on the
lips of farmers who give these fowls
very Indifferent care, and do not keep
any records of the cost of feeding or
Of the receipts returned. A flock of
poultry properly managed on a farm
will return greater profit than under
any other conditions because they pick
up large amount of waste products
and only comparatively smalr
amount of feed has to be bought.
Much greater returns would be Sc
cured from the average farm flock II
the poor layers were culled out, as
some of the birds hardly pay even for
this feed which has to be purchased.
This keeping of free boarding house
for q lot Of hens Is as poor business,
however, for the general farmer as 1t
is for the poultry man who is making
business Of egg production. F
A hen that lays no eggs requires as
much feed and care as one that lays
many. The thrifty see to 1t that their
fiocks consist of layers.
Requisites for Ego Production.
Hens Of good egg-laying strain
will lay more eggs, I'm the course Of
year, than will flock of monerels.
In the majority Of instances 1t is not
feasible to sell all the old flock and
start new standardized one; but, If
standardized ROSTERS are used to head
the flock for three or four generations,
the resulting flock will resemble pure
bred fowls The better way, however,
is to get Matching eggs from good
strain of purebred fowls.
Culling must be practiced in all
flocks If profit is to be made. In the
better fiOcks few birds will be dis
carded, but In the ordinary farm

ESTIMATE RECEIPTS
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
Grower Should First Consider
Grade and Quality.
Returns May Not Always Agree With
Figures Given In Bulletins on Ac-
count Of Changes In Prices
Made Overnight

To estimate what he should expect
to receive for his product In given
market and on a given day, the grow
er or shipper should first consider the
grade, pack, quality, and condition Of
his product compared with the bulk
of that product as quoted I'm the bull
letins for that day; second, deduct
from the stated price the freight or
express charges, other costs, and COM
missions.
Even after proper deductions have
been made, returns may not always
agree with prices quoted In the bull
letins, because Of unexpectedly heavy
receipts later In the day. sudden
changes In weather, or other factors
which influence the market quickly.
Anyone desiring to secure informa-
ton more promptly than is possible
through the mails may have all or any
part Of any report sent by telegraph,
charges collect, from the nearest mar
ket station maintained by the bureau
of markets, United States department
of agriculture, or by addressing the
department at Washington, ID. O.,
which will refer him to the proper sta
ton. A blank for entering the details
Of the desired telegraphic service will
be furnished upon application.

PROMPTnESS STOPS FIRE
WHICH THREATENED WOODS

Captain G. e. Wakeman received a
call from District Forest and Game
Warden Craw the other day and
Troopers Cooney and Cole were sent
to his assistance. They found a fire
raging which had been caused by a
PASSING train. and before 1t could be
extinguished 1t had burned over
twelve acres In East Bay township,
Grand Traverse county. This fire
would have proven a most expensive
one had it not been subdued immedi-
ately, owing to the fact that there
was strong wind from the southwest
which headed the flames directly to-
wards a nice stand Of second-growth
pine covering more than thirty-five
acres. The flames had reached the
very edge of this timber when the
fire was placed under control. From
now on much Of the attention of the
State Police will be directed to fight
ing such fires which break out every
year.

With the approach of that season of
the year when the stable fly is most
numerous and its injury to live stock
most acute-August and September
II behOoves the farmer to prepare for
meeting the enemy and protecting his
stock as much as possible from It's
attacks. In turn the farmer will be
protecting himself also, for aside from
its annoyance to human beings the
stable fly is suspected of playing an
important part I'm the carrying of GER
tain diseases of man, notably infantile
paralysis.
The natural time for taking meas
ures against the stable fly is when 1t
Is in its immature stages, and there
is good reason to believe that by prop
erly caring for substances in which 1t
breeds the insect may be kept well I'M
der control. Unfortunately this is not
always done, and the fly has reached
injury before its menacing presence is
felt. 1t is then very difficult to combat
and guard against.
Various means are used both for
protecting the animals and for eX-
terminating the flies. Among these
are traps. To be effective, however,
the trap should be especially designed
for this particular quarry, as 1t is i'm
possible successfully to capture adult
stable flies by means of the traps ordi-
narily used for the house fly.

PRESENCE OF TROOPERS

During the past few months the
large white frame house at Hudson,
which is used for the headquarters

ed there, has been the scene of much
activity. The constabularly was ap-

berries at Deerfield. Holloway, Addi-

three troopers were sent to Hudson.
They took up their quarters in this
roomy white frame house and since
that time there has not been a single
robbery. Further to safeguard the

NOTES OF STABLE FLY

The adult stable fly resem-
bles the house fly, but is slight
ly broader and feeds principally
on the blood of animals.
1t breeds for the most part
In straw and mixtures of straw
and manure.
Straw stacks after threshing
should be watched, for when
these become wet the flies breed
In the decaying straw. 1t is this
set of conditions which produces
severe outbreaks.
Spraying animals with repel-
Tents is not very satisfactory.
The number of flies can be kept
down, however, by proper care
Of stable refuse and by care
fully stacking or otherwise dis
posing of straw.

Only little practice Is required be-
fore person can readily distinguish
between good laying hen and a poor
one. County and home demonstra-
ton agents give this Information by
means Of demonstrations and the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has published circular which
tells how to Gull.
Feeding is one Of the most important
factors In egg production. On poor ra-
tons hens will live and even keep In
fair health; but well-balanced, palat-
able feeds are necessary to get good
egg production. The additional cost of
good ration compared with a poor
ration is repaid many times by the
extra eggs obtained. AS a rule the
simplest feed mixtures, composed of
homegrown grains and their by-prOd-
ucts, supplemented by sweet or sour
milk or some animal feed rich In pro-
TEN, such as meat scrap, will prove
most profitable and will produce eggs
at the lowest cost.
There Is no one best ration for all
conditions, but many Of the grains can
be fed INTERCHANGEABLE, depending on
their availability and price.

FIERY, ITCHING SKIN

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is ir-

that is covered with ugly rash or
pimples. or is rough or dry. Moth
ing subdues fiery skin eruptions SO
quickly, says noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur prepare

SO precious as skin remedy be-

HOLD RoUeHAeE IN RESERVE
Good Plan to Accumulate supply Of
Hay or EnsIIaoe to Meet Any
Emergency.

The feeding of cottonseed cake does
not do away with the necessity for
roughage, either In the form Of range
forage or in some other form says the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. The dry-cured forage on the
range will usually meet this need, but
In case Of prolonged drought, such as
occasionally comes In the southwest,
the supply of range feed may become
exhausted. To meet such emergencies,
1t would be a distinct advantage to
accumulate reserve supply of rough
age in the form of hay or silage during
the more favorable years.

'n An egg that shows any defect should

The farmer, above everyone, is the
man to succeed with poultry.
Good fences save many a heartache
for the man who keeps turkeys.
Turkeys are fattened for market
from about October up to selling

not be doLe.

BUYING CHICKEN FEED

When one has only q few
chickens 1t is less trouble to pur-
chase the prepared chick feeds,
but where a considerable num-
Der are reared 1t Is sometimes
cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them to-
gether. Many chick feeds con-
tain a large quantity of grit and
may contain grains of poor quail
ity, so that they should be care
fully examined and the quality
guaranteed before they are pur-
chased.

flies, recommends as successful trap
one designed by Prof. G. F. Hodge
which may be used in capturing adults
as they enter or leave the barns. This
trap, II is said, Is undoubtedly very
effective under certain conditions, and
has the advantage of catching not only
the stable fly but the house fly and 9TH
err undesirable species as well.
The trap is inexpensive, and can be
be made by anyone with box, or box
lumber, and screen wire. The frame
work Of the trap should be made so
that 1t will fit snugly into the barn
window Intended for Its use, prefera-
bly, one on the brightest side of the
barn and close TO the stock kept with
In. The screen entangiements are so
arranged that flies either trying to
leave the barn or enter II are caught.
At the bottom Of the trap Is a space
about one-fourth of an inch wide run
ming entirely across the frame on both
sides. This crack admits the flies be-
meath a peaked roof or ridge Of screen
wire having holes large enough for
flies to go through punched along Its
top at two-inch intervals. The flies
enter this space, ascend through the
holes into the upper chamber Of the
trap and are unable to escape. The
sides of the trap, also, are made of
ordinary screen wire bent inward and
upward In two horizontal folds run
ming across the window, one near the
bottom and one near the top.

tackled and Q series Of small holes
