Hens VS.. Pullets.-One of the inn
portant problems that the poultry
man has to deal with is how to get
the largest number of eggs from his
flock. How can he do this? BY se-
lecting pullets to comprise about two
thirds of his entire flock rather than
by having majority Of hens. Sta
tistics show that pullets lay about 80
eggs more per year than hens. This
is true for both the heavy and the
light breeds. The net profit therefore
is in favor of the pullets. They lay
more eggs in the fail and winter when
the prices are high, and so tend fur
ther to increase the profit. During
the pullet year an estimated profit
above feed of $3.50 per bird is netted.
while for the hen year profit OF
s2.52 per bird is netted.
Why then keep a large flock OF
birds which will decrease the profits
rather than increase them? Keep
mors rr.iets and fewer hens in the
flock. It pays and means better y
suits all round

Steady Recovery in Europe

Washington, Dec. 11.-The eco
nomic recovery of Europe, while nee
essarily slow and difficult is making
substantial progress, Secretary Hoov-
er declared in a review of interna-
tional trade conditions made public
tonight. The situation Contains great
danger he said, but it is mot at all
as gloomy as some statements would
make it appear"
A survey of European conditions
he said, "will show that the danger
of bolshevism is past" partly through
improved standards of life and partly
Through the salutory lesson of
Russia"
The zone field of continuous de-
generation" he declared to be that OF
government finance, citing as factors
@unbalanecd budgets and consequent
currency imitation" The commerce
of the whole world, the secretary said
suffers from this failure in govern
ment finance, and unless remedies
are found the great recuperation ef-
fected in social, political, industrial,
agricultural and commercial life will
be endangered.
The most dangerous of the unbal-
anced imitation situations, Mr.. Hoov-
er said, is Germany whose case "de-
pends upon the method and volume
of reparation payments"
GAS the United States does not
participate either in its control or it's
receipts" he said, 1--WE have no voice
or right to interfere. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that the present nego-
tiations upon reparations may sue
ceed in finding sound basis that will
secure permanent economic and po-
litical stability to Germany and GER
tainty of regular payments to the al
lies. With this effected the way is
open for constructive consideration
of the situations in other states. The
American people have never been and
will not be amisssin participation in
these further measures, but our peo-
pie can not successfully enter until
those who have control of the repair
ations have settled this major issue
upon SO sound an economic basis that
we can look upon the future of Eu-
rope with confidence"

The Post Office Department.

Declaring that the United States
postal service issthe largest distinc-
tive business in the world, Postmaster
HAYS gives some striking figures con-
cerning that department. According
to the data which he furnishes, the
postal service has 100000 employees.
1t serves 110,OOO,O00 customers. 1t
spends s60O,OO0,O00 annually, and
the annual turnover of business is
more than s3,OO0,ooO,O0O. In every
single hour of the "a, 100000 let
tiers are mailed, or more than 12,0oo,-
100000 letters year.
To carry this mail over 14,00o,-
100000 postage stamps and LIPS
100000 postal cards are sold annual
". The money order department sells
each year more than 150,000,0Oo
money orders, in an aggregate sum
exceeding s1,5Oo,ooo,OOG.
The parcel post division of the
Postofice department is the largest
express company in the world, car
rying over 2,5Oo,000,OOe packages
a year. The postal savings depart
ment is the largest postal savings
bank in the world, having ever 5OO,-
900 individual depositors.
The dead letter Office handles 49,
900, 900 undelivered letters each year
practically all of which are due to
the neglect of the public in properly
addressing them.
Every day $4,000 rural mail car
riers start on their journeys, serving
6,5OO,OOO families and travelling l.
10000 miles before they return to
their Offices.
The Postoffice department in hand
lingmail consumes 100000 miles of
twine year, enough to. girdle the
earth 80 times; 100000 lead pencils
and $4,000 quarts of mucilage.

the hope of making the posts self
sustaining. This is not the idea. Ser
vice is what is expected-and what
must be given.-Augusta Chronicle

Automobiles in a procession nearly a mile long, and carrying 160 persons in- terested in the advancement of agricul- ture in Windham county, moved through teh towns of Pomfret Scotland, Eastford and Windham Wednesday on the second annual field trip of the Windham County Farmers association. Shortly before g o'clock the cars began to gather near the Pomfret railroad station and when the starting signal was given 30 automobiles fell into line. The weather was ideal for the trip, and as the day advanced more and more people joined the party At Windham Center 36 machines were counted. Looking back from the head of the line, and seeing car after car turn Phoenixville corner and start down the open road to Eastford, one farmer from Putnam was heard to remark that it was one of the grandest sights he had ever witnessed, and was one that demonstrat- ed as nothing else could the interest shown in and the loyalty felt toward the association.
 The first stop was at Lewis Averilrs orchard, .Pomfrete County Agent F. l.. Davis addressed those present on how the orchard demonstration was started
 and carried on, pointing out that they were looking at an orchard neglected for a long time previous to this spring when
 MT. Averill started to prove himself a willing -co-operator with the county agent and the farmers association in carrying
 out an orchard management demonstra-
 tion, The light green of the foliage and
 the presence of dead wood throughout the orchard was mentioned as being pres
 ent last year. This was contrasted with the dark green healthy foliage, freedom from dead wood and the general healthy
 condition of the trees throughout which now prevails It demonstrated MT. Davis pointed out, the practicability of the methods applied to rejuvenating the trees. The fertilization, spraying and scraping of the trunks, the turning under
 of a cover crop of soy beans and the fall l and spring plans of the management of 1 the orchard were dwelt upon by Mir Davis.
 At about 9.so the cavaIcade proceeded 1 to William S. Warren's farm in Eastford and there was exhibited good herd of Holstein cattle. P. A. Campbell, dairy I specialist of the extension service of the Connecticut Agricultural college gave ar 1 exceedingly obstructive talk on the points 1 that should be looked for in picking out g profitable dairy COW.
