EXERCISE QUITE IMPORTANT
Close Confinement During Winter
Months ls Not Conducive to
Profitable Results.

During the spring season fowls hav-
ing free range get abundant exercise,
but during the cold months many hens
suffer from lack of exercise. Close
confinement without exercise is not
conducive to getting the best results
from a flock. although the feed pro-
vided may be the best. for idle hens
soon grow too fat to lay. 1t is al
most impossible to give laying hens
that are confined too much exercise.
The fowls may be encouraged to ex-
ereise in various rays, such as sus-
pending cabbage heads, beets, etc, so
that the birds have to jump for them,
and scattering grain in the litter. The
litter should be from four to eight
inches deep and may consist of straw
(either cut or whole), hay, leaves,
buckwheat hulls, shredded corn fodder.
or any like convenient material. The
hens should be kept hungry enough
so that they will work diligently all
day for the corn scattered in this lit
ter, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Whenever the litter becomes
damp or soiled 1t must be removed
and fresh put in.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT THE INCOME TAX

Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the in
come tax law and are granted only
an exemption of $1,000, unless the
head of family.
To avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands of the collector of
internal revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or has his
principal place of business, on or be-
fore midnight of March IS, 1921.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings for
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or 5000 Cor more, according to
their marital status, must file a re-
turn and pay tax on their net in.

from the breeding pens. The house
should be kept dry, clean. well vent-
lated, and free from drafts. Have the
floor covered with l inch Of fine gravel
and rake off frequently the manure
which collects on the top. Keep the
yards clean either by scraping the
surface and adding fresh sand or
gravel, or by digging over the land
and, If possible. planting it to grain.
The nests, nest boxes, and pens
should be kept clean, but it is not ad-
visable to disturb more than necessary
the nests that contain eggs or squads.
Spray the pens frequently with white
wash containing a little crude carbol-
ic acid, or with a coal-tar disinfectant;
examine the birds for feather lice.

hot weather. Birds having many lice
should be treated with sodium fluorid.

or dipping in n solution, the latter
method being preferable. The nests or
nest pans should be cleaned out and
the nesting material removed when
ever dirty, care being taken not to
disturb the squads any more than Is

Puss had not thought about his

BORROWED MONEY
SHOULD REPAY DEBT

Farm credit is a good agency in
the hands of those farmers who know
how to use it, but it is dangerous
element of farm business if it's ma
ture and purpose is not fully under
stood. An unproductive enterprise is
not safe basis on which to borrow
money under any conditions. 1t is
more important that the enterprise
be productive than that the rate of
interest at which one can borrow
money be high or low. Farm credit
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture lay down one
essential rule to be followed by the
farmer who proposes to borrow
money: Make sure that the purpose
for which the borrowed money is to
be used will produce a return greater
than is needed to pay the debt.

young they can DO induced to start
laying.
A breeder of considerable expert
ence writes, 81 have a flock of young
ducks, from six to seven months old,

my White Leghorn hens. Another
correspondent writes to say that Run

Is cold enough to make the hens quit"
