BIG RETURNS FROM POULTRY
Arizona Farmer Made Profit Of Nearly

A net return Of nearly $500 in two

ton Of a poultry extension expert Of

hens, which produced an average Of
ten dozen eggs during the four winter
months. During February the eggs
brought an average Of IS cents a

the feed bill, including the feed for
the young chicks, amounted to $50.
The following month the Sock showed

hens were kept In a separate pen for

HELP BUSINESS TO PROSPER
Matter OF Vital Interest TO Whole
Community That It's Industries
Shall Flourish and Grow.

There is an old saying among mer.
chants that there are just two ways
TO increase their volume of business,
remarks Carl Hunt in The Nations
Business. One is through the sale of
merchandise to more people; the other,
through the sale Of more merchandise
to present customers.
What is the community doing to
help present industries? Is some man
ufacturcr handicapped through the
lack Of street car transportation for his
men, or through the need Of 4 railroad
switch that q stubborn city council has
declined to authorize, or through some
restriction which might easily and
properly be removed?
Or could additional capital be in
vested in the present enterprises of the
city, TO the benefit of the community,
and the profit of local investors?
/ am we'll acquainted with a small
Indiana city which in time past has
undertaken to be the home of a roll
ing mill and a large ~tin-plate mill,
though there was no apparent reason
why either should have been situated
there. Both OF them failed.
In the meantime, the whole COM
munity stood upon a foundation of
stone which vas of excellent quality
for paving purposes, and from which
lime could be, and later was, produced.
The n man who entered the stone
business there eventually had a thriv-
ing trade which later, passing into the
hands of outside people, grew still
iarger. With fuel-a good grade Of
conl-but a few miles away, and with
such stone deposits, this community
might have developed along this line
had local capital become interested, or
had the community made a serious and
well-directed effort to interest stone
men from other places, for the city las
excellent railroad servlce-three main
Iines-and is within easy shipping dis
lance of several important cities which
afford q large market for crushed
stone.

Burned walls falling all around him
during the great fire In San Francisco
gave an Arizona man the idea of self
binding and interlocking brick, a type
Of building material which promises to
revolutionize brick construction work
the world over The principle Of the
brick is decidedly simple. On one side
Of the brick are two annular bosses
which are concentrically located op-
-posite two annular depressiOns on the
other side of the brick, SO that when
che bricks r laid the bosses register
with the depressions. In that way the
bricks are locked into the wall and
none can be removed unless all the
bricks above ii are first taken away.
In sections Of the country where hol-
iow-wall construction has come into
popularity tic interlocking brick
seems likely TO prove the most pop
ular, because It can be used in tying
the two walls together. The bricks can
be extended across the open space
and made to lock together and act as
q binder. Hollow-walls are desirable
because Of their GOODNESS In sections
where humidity prevails.

League of America for work among

Many people can keep pigeons sue
cessfully as a side issue, although this
requires constant oversight and care
full attention to details. The greatest
difficulties confronting the successful
raiser of pigeons seem to be in securing
good breeding stock, and finding a mar
ket for the produce Of a small flock.
Pigeons are a profitable source of in

secure much Of their feed from the
fields, provided they are not a nuisance
and the loss by shooting and by hawks,
owls and cats is not large. They can
also be raised successfully on farms
where they are closely confined, pro-
vided the squads can be marketed to
good advantage.
OF the squab-raising varieties the
Homer Is considered the most popular
variety. The habit of this bird of re-
turning home If allowed freedom makes
1t necessary to confine pigeons purchas-
ed from other lofts. The Carneaux

other varieties of pigeons larger than
the Homer are used OIL a small scale

Use Care In Selecting Plants.

In selecting plants n is governed
largely by the soil and climatic condi-
tons, position of buildings, walks,
drives, fountains, bodies of water, and
the surrounding area. Soil conditions
may be changed by the addition of
manure or commercial fertilizers. Of
ten the amateur is not familiar with
the various kinds Of plants, and is
unable to make the proper selections.
For such individuals it is advisable
for them to visit the parks and 9TH
er well planted landscapes. This will
enable one to become familiar with
the plants and their names, and will
aid greatly in the selections of shrub
berry to suit his particular needs. Met
al tags giving the technical and COM
mon names are attached to many of
the plants in the parks which will be
found helpful to the amateur.

BOY SCOUTS IN g
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop Of All In Con.
stantinopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training is aid.
ing prominently in the rehabilitation
Of hundreds of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacr
who have been organized into q scout
troop In Constantinople as the solution
Of one OF the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re
lief workers in that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse 10y Turks ana
Kurds and themselves forced TO beg.
steal or do almost anything to eke oul
the barest existence, these boys hnd
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge In the Near
Cast Relief orphangcs.
The boys had been clad in rags for
SO long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was a tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need Of
every pair of shoes and Of every snii
of clothes for new boys constantly com
ing In.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms
They began to be careful of thelf
school clothes as well as Of their uni
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc.
ton. When they first entered the or.
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became a Boy Scout he was obvious
ly uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse in his hard.
II don't want to give II back" he
said reluctantly. "But | have to. I'm
a Boy Scout now"
To form more scout troops to trans
form these little unfortunates into
good citizens, Is one of the reasons
why the Near East Relief, / Madison
avenue, New York city, Is making Its
appeal for funds.

poison must be applied three or four
times at a week or ten days intervals.
Experiments show that the weeyiI
can be kept down to such an extent
that they can not DO serious damage.
The cotton saved is worth far mere
than the cost.
II is important that the right kind
of calcium arsenate be used. There
are different kinds, made for differ
ent purposes. The wrong kind may
be too weak to kill weevils, or too
strong and injure the cotton plant.
There is no use to begin busting
the cotton plants before about ten
out of every 100 squares are punctured
by the weevil. 1t will be a waste OF
money to undertake to spray a field
thoroughly to when there are fewer
weevils in the field. While it will
kill practically all that are alive. the
new hatch will have TO be taken care,
of by subsequent sprays. 1t is not ad-
vised that any one undertake to dust
the plants with anything else than the
regular busting machines. The pole

The poison material will cost for
four applications from - to "a per
