Poultry Notes.

Ii you would avoid Timber
neck allow no dead carcasses or
maggots on your farm.
1t pays every farmer to have
a poultry-wired yard for mis-
fowls in which they may be en-
closed when desirable.
Much of the years success
with the farm flock depends on
the quality of the birds that are
left after the fall cuIIing.
Figure on enough poultry
litter for the laying house SO
that the b rds can have clean
scratching material throughout
the winter.
a little extra care of your
hens and a bit of choice feed
will pay in eggs many times.
Don't be afraid of doing toe
much.
The hen neeCs exercise tbs
same as a human being. You
ca t expece- hens to have
health and lay winter eggs wher
huddled up in small space.

High Cost of Shoes

1t is said that hides are
stored in California warehouses
by the thousands. 1t is further
stated that they are selling at
lower prices than in 1919, and
yet, the prices of shoes have
been soaring in the last SIX
months to a point where 1t
makes it almost prohiOitive to
purchase a decent pair.
The finest grades OF hides
which sold in 1919 at 70 cents
a pound are now selling at a.
cents. Investigation shows
that the labor on a pair of shoes
amounts to one dollar and eighty
cents.
