Every Mrs. Farmer knows that for
some unknown or unjustifiable rea-
son she can count more hens than
eggs at the sunset of every summer
day. After an eager quest for eggs
she frequently discovers that the out
put for the day has been but one egg
per five or six hens. So far as she
can discover al her hens are eating all
the feed they need. They have plenty
of range, comfortable perches and
downy nests.
What is the matter? She wants
to know all about it?
Well, Mrs Farmer, there are men
at Purdue university who are paid
comfortable salaries for being able
to answer your questions. These men
realize the importance of every hen
doing her share toward feeding the
world, either in the form of eggs,
roasts or potpies.
This is a wise conclusion.
Wayne County Cuttings.
Wayne county poultry cuttings are
becoming numerous, or more so
There are a multitude of drones i'll
bee swarms and slackers in poultry
flocks.. Let the drones go their way;
they are on business, but get after

cash quickly and stop wasting feed.

Limits Salaries to $1,000
| Farmers generally will concur Il
the judgment of congress, both house
of which voted to place a limit
$4,000 per year on salaries to be PAL
men employed in the regulation o
the meat packing industry. All sue
employees get travelling expenses, etc
and a whole lot of the men who vii
apply for such positions would haV
a hard time making that much nor
ey if turned loose in any city, big o
little, in America. Secretary Wallac
had asked authority to pay the chic
administrator $500 per year, henc
the above action.
If the genial secretary, who is &c
itor of an Iowa farm paper, Will sto
and cudgel his brain long enough T
recall ten farmer in ten states VIII
made $500 each during the past tw
years, he will have little time to d
anything else for the next 10 month;
Senator Kenyon of Iowa declared tina
this $4,000 limit would prevent oil
tanning capable men. The senate
sould reconsider; it is time we wer
getting DdCh 10 uOTudi.
Farm Bureau Salaries
Some of these days in the near fl
ture we shall probably find farm bl
reau members limiting sizes of sala'
les to be paid our state farm burea
officials, not only in Indiana, but
several states. The figures are mos
surprising, and surely the work ism
, arduous. The handling of the farl
bureau business is simple, everyda
matter. There is nothing whateve
profound or scientific about it. n
life of study is needed to prepare fo
these duties.
Farmers Not Misery
The farmers who work so might
hard for so very little are perfect
willing that the men who transat
business for them shall be LIBERAL
