An Appreciation

Friends of mine, | often think
and wonder il you know
Just what your friendship means TO me
Through days that come and 60
=
Your handclasp true when skies were dark,
Your faith deep and strong
That made the shadows quickly flee
And brought smile along"
"And in return, if all the things
I'm wishing could come true
They would not be but half enough
For such friends as you"

POINTERS ON BROILERS

Full breasts, broad backs and
plump bodies make attractive
broilers.
To grow plump broilers, crowd
ing in the breeders must not be
permitted
In feeding market stock first
give such food as will develop bone
and muscle Then feed for fat.
The breeder who grows his
chicks to three or four pounds in
the shortest time is the one who
finds the largest balance to his
credit when the years accounts
are closed.
Yellow skin and legs do not nee.
essarily donate quality of flesh.
but our American markets do not
want white-skinned and dark-col-
ored legs.
When dressing poultry for mar
ket take extra pains to remove all
the pin feathers. There is nothing
that will make a carcass look so
distasteful as a lot of pin feathers,
especially if they are of dark color

pREBLE TAKES STEPS
TO INSURE PROPER
CARE OF CHILDREN

Work has been started in Preble
County TO procure the correction OF
physical defects Of the school children
and teach them right health habits;
that they may have a fair chance for
a normal, healthy life. Officials say
that in order to do this they must
start with the mother and the very
young child.
Because Of a lack of knowledge con-
corning child care many young chill
dren die every year as a result OF
improper food, and lack of care.
1868 babies died il Ohio in 1920
from natal and prenatal causes. 2,077
babies died from gastrointestinal dis
eases. Seven per cent of the babies
born in PrebIe County in 1920 died
under one year OF age.
The Preble County Nursing Service.
working with the state department or
health. has started the work among
the school children this past winter.
and is now planning TO take up the
work with the mothers and children
under school age.
Free Movies.
At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
June oV, moving pictures, our CnlI-
dren,' and The Long VS.. Short Haul,
will be shown free to all mothers and
any other persons interested in child
welfare. The pictures, with a short
talk by a physician interested in this
work, will be given in the Eatonian
Movie House across from the court
house.
This will be followed by a child
welfare conference in the Red Cross
Nurses Room in the court house al
l o'clock Saturday, July 2, when the
babies and young children will be
weighed and measured and a complete
Ehysical examination made by com
petent physicians of the Preble Coun
ty Medican association. Everyone Is
invited 10 bring their children TO this
conference.
II is hoped a permanent child vel
fare station may be established where
the mothers may meet to have theil
babies weighed at regular interval:
and to discuss with the nurse any
problems that perplex or Interest

FEED REQUIRED FOR
ONE GALLON OF MILK

1t takes three pounds of grain,
four pounds of hay, twelve pounds
of corn silage and four pounds of
straw in actual feed TO enable a
dairy COW TO produce gallon of
milk. In addition to this, it re-
quires II minutes of man labor,
which includes feeding, milking,
bedding. etc, and one minute of
horse labor, besides approximately
four cents for overhead expenses,
including equipment, dairy barn,
interest on investment, etc.
These figures, compiled by c. r.
George of the dairy extension
staff of Purdue university, cover
more than two years of extensive
investigational work in Porter
county, where a big dairy business
has been developed for the Chicago
market.
With hay figured at $40 a ton,
grain at $50, silage at So and straw
at So, man labor at 80 cents an
hour and horse labor at half that,
produce a gallon of milk, or $3.50
for 100 pounds, the basis on which
producers sell to distributors. This
cost would be reduced somewhat
in certain parts Of the state now
because of the lower prices of hay
and grains. The cost of the gallon
of milk, based on the foregoing
prices, is divided as follows q:
Grain, As cents; hay, 3 cents; 81.
lage, as cents; straw, 1.6 cents +;
labor, cents; horse labor, .
cents; overhead, 4 cents.
While il is impossible to set
down any exact figure on the cost
of producing milk, because of fluc
tuating prices on feeds, we dc
know definitely the amount of feed
required per gallon and we can tell
accurately by taking into consid
Grafton the price for the various
items" said Mr.. George.
Farmers of the state are show
ing unusual interest in cost Of pro
duction figures as we'll as straight
production problems, and consider
able valuable data has been OBJ
tanned by the university the last
few years, not only on the cost OF
producing milk, but also on beef
and pork and the various field
crops.

Keep Two Hens for Each
Member of the Family

The average novice can reason
ably expect to get an average of at
least 10 dozen eggs per hen per
year from his small flock in the
back yard. On the basis of two
hens to each member Of the family
this will give 20 dozen eggs a year
to each person, which amount is
about halfway between the average
of farm and city consumption. No
backyard poultry keeper should be
satisfied with less than this, say
poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
