POULTRY PENS
Mated Now Mean In
creased Profits.

One Of the things which farmers
Of Kentucky can do now TO increase
their returns from poultry later in
the season IS % mate up a special
breeding pen Of the ~ best hens on
the farm and the best male bird. ac-
eording to statement Of poultry
specialists from the College Of Agri-
culture. University Of Kentucky.
The hens should be selected on the
basis Of size, winter egg production
and breed type. II the farm does
not contain any male birds suitable
for breeding purposes the farmer
will profit By stocking his farm at
the present time with suitable birds.

laying hen and the one which has
produced the most winter eggs may
be obtained free by writing the

Lambs Gain Rapidly
When Fed Some Grain

When lambs are about two weeks
old they will begin to nibble at hay
and grain. As soon as this time ar
rives a creep should be built so that
the young animals can get to trough
and not be molested by the ewes and
a small amount Of bran, crushed oats
linseed meal or a mixture Of all three
given them. The lambs learn TO eat
this quickly and /, Is surprising how
rapidly they viii gain in weight when
fed little grain, according to l.. J.
Horlacher. field agent in sheep hus-
bandry from the College - tgricul-
ture, University % Kentucky.
ANY grain not eaten should be
cleaned out % the trourhs and fed
to the ewes.

Out Of Work =!

Boise, 1da.-Immediate development,
OF many government irrigation PRO-
jects In the West, which will give eA
ployment to thousands of men noyS
out of work In various parts Of tht,
country, Is the proposal made By
United States Senator w. E. Borah|
of Idaho to Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, to solve the unem-,
ployment problem that is facing the,
United States at the present time. A
copy Of the letter of Senator Borah|
and the proposal contained therein|
has been received in Boise.
Senator Borah points out that, in|
addition to furnishing employment to-
the unemployed. the construction Of
these projects and pushing them to
enrly completion will supply homes
nor many other thousands Of people
who have been waiting for years for
the government to finish irrigation
projects
Senator Borah's letter is, in part
rs follows:
II am informed through the press
that you are engaged in working out
some kind Of a program to take care
of the unemployed during the coming
fall and winter I beg leave to make
a suggestion to you
AS you are doubtless we'll informed,
we have great number Of irrigation
projects in the West, either ready for
construction work or which have been
begun and delayed by reason of want
Of funds Hundreds and even thou
sands Of people are waiting an oppor-
tunity to make homes upon these pro-
jects In some instances of which
have knowledge they have been wait
ing for a number Of years I think
you will agree with me that this gov
eminent cannot be more deeply inter-
ested in any proposition t4lan it is in
getting as many people as practicable
upon our land and SO arranging mat
ters that they may acquire homes
Il assume that the government will,
In taking care of the unemployed, seek
to find work for them rather than to
engage in the demoralizing program Of
feeding them without work The only
sane, wholesome and decent way to
treat an American citizen when he is
In want Of food, Is to find labor for
him, so that he may pay for his food
and not accept it at the hands of char.
ity. If these projects couldb taken
up and built under present conditions,
utilizing the unemployed at a fair
wage, it seems to be one at least of the |
most practical and desirable things we |
could do. In the first place, It gives
work to large number pf unemploy-
ed. thereby enabling them to take
care of themselves and their families.
In the second place. it provides acre
age for the making of homes and for
increasing the production in this
country. In the third place, ultimately
all moneys expended upon these pro
jects will be repaid to the govern
ment. Any of these lands are worth
much more than the amount necessary
to reclaim them, and the government,
in the end, will not be out anything
In aking care of these unemployed"
