Hen LETT With Laying
While Up
men She NonIay

~, the hens to Gull are those that are
sick, weak, inactive, lacking in vigor,
poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull,
or whitish-colored combs; with thick,
stif pelvic bones that are close to-
gether; small spread or distance be-
tween rear end of keel and pelvic
bones; full, firm, or hard abdomen {;
and those that have molted or started
to mott in August or September. In
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow
beaks, and yellow skin around the
vent.
The hens to be kept should be
healthy, vigorous, active, good eat
ers, with plump, bright-red combs !;
large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic
bones spread we'll apart; a wide
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel; large, soft, pliable abdo-
men; and neither molted nor mott
ing in August or September. In
breeds with yellow legs and skin
the hens you keep should also show
pale or white legs and pale or white
beaks and vents.
AS soon as the culling is finished
all the hens you have discarded should
be marketed at once. 1t doesn't pay
i to keep one. Cock birds not wanted
as breeders should be canned, eaten,
or marketed Immediately. Cockerels
saved for breeding should be vigorous,
strong, active, and alert. and should
be those that have grown most rapid
ly and developed the best. No bird
lacking these qualities will be good
breeder.
Pullets that are weak, understood,
and poorly developed also should be
eaten, canned, or marketed, as they
will not be profitable producers but
no thrifty, well-develnped pullets
should ever be disposed of in this
way, because it is these pullets when
kept for layers and breeders that will
net the greatest profits.
Late Moiters Best for Breeders.
The mott probably is the best and
most easily applied test of production.
Hens cease laying completely or al
most entirely during this period The
better producers lay late in the fall,
and therefore molt late. Late molters
also mott rapidly as rule, while early
molters mott slowly. Therefore the
advice Is to save hens which have not
molted by August or are only just be-
ginning late in September Or in Oc-
tober, and discard those that have fin
ished Noting or are well into the
mott. Hens that mott latest, provided
they are otherwise desirable, are the
best to save for breeders.

FEEDING CATTLE FOR PROFIT
Market Requirements for Beef Ar
Much Higher Than In Former
Years-SkilI Needed.

The feeding of beef cattle for tie
market has become a special line of
work, which requires high grade Of
skill through understanding Of the
feeding values Of different materials
used in the production Of beef, as
well as an appreciation Of the re-
quirements of animal nutrition and
shrewd business ability. Without these
prerequisites the feeder is doomed to
receive very small returns for his Ia
Dor. The market requirements for
beef at present are much higher than
In former years. It Is necessary, there
fore, in order to obtain prices which
will pay the feeder for his time and
outlay, to produce herd of cattle as
nearly uniform as possible in appear
ance and quality, with high market
finish and symmetrical development,
particularly in those parts which yield
high-priced cuts in which the profits
lie for the butcher.

RIGHT TIME TO CUT TIMBER
Disease and Insects Do Not Attack
Wood Out of Doors During
Winter Weather.

Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage or
handling is simpracticable, winter cut
ting is best. Fungi and insects do not
attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the time warm wealth.
er arrives the wood is partly seasoned
and somewhat less susceptible to at
tack. 1t is for these reasons that win
ter cutting is advantageous, and not
on account of smaller amount of mois-
ture or sap in the wood in winter, as
the popular belief has it. There is
practically no difference in moisture
content of green wood in winter and
summer.

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.

Laws against vagrancy have been
long on the statutes Of this country.
The man who won't work, who doesn't
return society something for the priv
ilege Of enjoying the alleged delights
Of modern civilization, has to go to
jail, and work on the roads or in a
stone quarry for his food and bed.
Man may have gained his idea for this
law from the Industrious honey bees.
They have little use for drones.
Loudest cacleier May Be Noniayer.
But hen may go cackling around
Tor months or years, and never lay an
egg, and the owner be none the wiser
unless he keeps up to modern ideas of
poultry management and culls his
flock occasionally. While culling
should be continuous throughout the
year in any well-conducted plant, the
best time to emphasize the operation,
perhaps, is during August and Septem-
Der, according to the teachings of ex-
perts Of the United States Department
of Agriculture. That is to say, If you
intend to make just one culling in the
year then August or September should
be your date.
1t is easier then to make a close
estimate Of the relative value of hen
as an egg producer and to weed out
the poor producers. Hens which show
indications of laying or are laying and
have not molted usually are the ones
that have been the better layers dur
Ing the entire season, and the hen that
lays best during her first year usually
will lay we'll during the second and
third years. She Is the hen to keep.
1t Is not advisable, though, to keep
hens Of the heavier breeds such as
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds
and Brahmas, beyond their second
year, or of the smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns and Anconas, beyond
their third year, as they seldom prove
profitable.
In addition to culling the entire
flock in August and September, you
should always watch for hens that are
sick or very thin in flesh, or that show
signs of weakness or low vitality.
When discovered Gull them out at
once. 1t will pay.
Keep Only Healthy Hens.
Culling properly means using sew
eral tests, all fairly accurate if intel
ligently and carefully applied. For
this reason it is wise to send for De
partment Circular 81, which may be
had upon application to the Division
of Publications, Department Of Agri-
culture, or enlist the help and advice
of experienced persons near by. Brief

HEAVY PASTURING Is
FAVORED BY EXPERTS
Best Results Are Obtained by
Continuous Grazing.
Experiments Conducted at Different
Stations Show That Pastures Are
Being Utilized to oae.HaIf
Their Capacity.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
For every 100 acres Of other crops
ON farms in the United States, say ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture, there are 91.5 acres of
pasture, of which about one-third is
listed as improved pasture" Corn
Is the only crop that exceeds in acre
age improved pasture.
Some years ago an ample series Of
experiments on typical bluegrass pas
ture was conducted by the department
comparatively with the Virginia ex-
pertinent station. These experiments
showed clearly that heavy pasturing
resulted in twice the returns that light
pasturing as generally practiced gives.
Furthermore, after heavy pasturing
the pastures were in much better con-
dition. Alternate grazing showed no
advantage over continuous grazing.
The results show clearly that pastures
In general are being utilized only to
one-half their productivity, and that
this light pasturing is to their detri-
ment Comparable results were later
obtained in North Dakota and In Utah.
The prejudice against heavy pastur-
Ing is due partly to the desire of the
farmer to avoid the possibility of a
shortage of pasture and partly to the
idea that heavy pasturing Is injurious
to the grass. Sacrificing half the
value of the pastures is much more
costly insurance than reserve Of hay

ARRANGE WALL0Ws FOR HOGS
Water Must Be Supplied Not Only fos
Drinking but for Animals to
Cool Bodies.

Hogs in pasture where there Is no
water are likely to suffer- not only for
drinking water, but for water in which
to cool their bodies. Stops are not suf-
fcient. The hogs should have water
In their troughs and in the wallow to
cool themselves when the burning rays
o.Nthe sun makes their lives torture.
Hogs have a way of Kidding then,-
selves Of troublesome parasites whel,
they have a muddy wallow. Nature
1t seems, helps them to survive as the
fittest when there is a struggle for ex-
istence with parasites.
Hogs that must be penned should
have shade and plenty of water. 1t is
bad enough to be kept in pen without
a struggle with heat and thirst. Give
them shade and water.

IN GLENDALE
P[AN COUPON DAY TO SAVE MONEY FOR
 GLENDALE PEOPLE

GLENDALE, July 15.-Coupon Day in Glendale is being inaugurated for the purpose of giving the trading public in the town and the district the best possible opportunity to pur- chase merchandise at unheard of low prices. The merchants at this time have heartily co-operated to make this day of the week a big day. They took into consideration that Saturday was the day most adapt able for the farmer to come to town to make his purchases and also to give the town resident chance to get things needed. It is hoped that the public will join in this cam paign to trade at home and help the merchant put this over and in turn help to build up the commu- nifty as well as making it a money saver for the purchaser.
 The idea of coupon day Is to give values and all that the prospective purchaser has to do is to clip the ad and coupon go to the store which advertises and get the money-sav- ing article on sale at that time. All Glendale is asked to heartily join in the campaign and make Coupon Day a regular weekly feature. Read the ads carefully and select the ar ticles you want. Coupon Day means traQe al nome.
