TELLS HOW TO MAKE
"BlDDY'' BUSINESS PAY
N. E. Chapman, Poultry Specialist, Ad-
dresses Small Audience Of Inter
ested Poultry .Raisers Saturday

The five important factors in max
ing the "Biddy' business pay are
breeding, feeding, housing, manage
ment and care, according to n. E.
Chapman, poultry specialist from the
state university farm, who addressed
those of this vicinity who are inter-
ested in poultry at the high school
building last Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Chapman proved to be a very inter-
esting speaker and presented much
farmers to secure profits from their
focks Of poultry. He proved that
there Is money in poultry by citing
figures Of the ten highest egg checks
and ten highest cream checks issued
at Barnum, Mimi, and other points
for the months Of December, January
and February and in every instance
the egg checks, led by considerable
sum- ~
One of the important considerations
in poultry. raising for profit is Sc
curing early Matched chicks which
may be easily accomplished by the
use of an incubator and not depend
ing entirely on the >broody hen. Then
the chicks must be kept growing by
proper feeding so that they may de-
velop and mature in time to start
laying in. October or November This
will require about five months for
Leghorns and six months for the heav-
Ter breeds, said Mr.. Chapman.
The average egg production for the
state lof Minnesota, Is only 60 eggs
per hen, said Mr.. Chapman, but this
could be easily increased to two or
three times so il proper care, housing
and feeding was given the flock. ?.
In concluding his talk Mr.. Chap.
man stated that bulletin had been
issued giving the information he had
presented and could be secured by
those interested on application to the
County Agent free Of charge. Plans
for recommended and tested poultry
| houses can also be secured without
charge from the county agent.

Will Count the Pigs.

Minnesota is one Of the states to
be included in a pig census to be
taken early in May. The enumerat-
ing will be done by rural mail car
riers. The plan is to secure reports
on simple card questionnaires from
not less than twelve farms on each
rural route. This information will be
collected by the carriers in the regu;
lar course Of delivering mail and re-
turned to the postmaster for forward
ing to the department Of agriculture
at Washington for tabulation. A card
can be filled out in less than two
minutes. The information on the
cards will be strictly confidential and

STATE DIVIDES BIG =,
HIGHWAY AID FUND
This County Allotted More Than 1t
Paid in Taxes SO Counties
Gain Under Plan

Marshall county receives $4,000 and
Polk county $26,S50 from the new
state road aid fund as apportioned
by the board composed of Henry
Rines. state treasurer, r. P. Chase,
state auditor, and Charles M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner, according
to an announcement this week. It is
one Of SO out Of the sc counties al
loteed more than it paid into the aid
fund. ->,.=~..
Auditor Chase pointed out that the
minimum to county is 80 per cent
greater than last years apportion-
ment with no increase in the tax rate,
and as result the counties will re-
ceive hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars more than last year. 1T is a
striking illustration Of the well known
fact that the average county will re-
ceive more from the state than it pays
in direct taxes" he added.
State road aid represents the pro-
ceeds of general 1-mill tax levy
under the Bob Dunn amendment to
the constitution by which the counties
of high assessed valuations contribute
toward the Improvement and upkeep

totals $2,200000, compared with ST.
657, 800 9 year ago after $184,200 was
deducted for administratio ton. No such
deduction was made this year. s.,
Eighty three counties are allotted
1900 or more each, against the
minimum OF $16,578 last year. All OF
these gain by operation Of the law.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis coun-
ties received $4,000 each. This is
comparable to, $4,000 each last year
and the first maximums voted under
the law II -." ...
The money is for the Improvement
and upkeep of the most important
roads in each county eother than the
so-called Babcock roads on which only
trunk highway funds can be used. I:
forms part of the grand total OF
more than $4,000, 900 to be expended
this year by counties and townships
of the local roads in Minnesota.

MARCH SNOW is ~
GOOD FOR RYE

The month Of March, which came
in as lamb and continued mild and
spring like during the first half, has
demonstrated during the latter half,
however, a great deal of its lion like
nature. About six inches Of snow fell
Sunday and Monday covering the
fields again like in January. This
snow, farmers say, is the best thing
that could happen to the fall rye Of
which there is a large acreage this
year. The snow will soon disappear
and spring be here in earnest.

What does it cost to produce a
pound of butterfat, 200 pound hog,
a bushel of wheat, bushel of po-
tatoes, or corn? These were some OF
the questions worked out by the farm
ers and their leaders at these business
schools.
. In each case, after working out the
cost per pound or bushel, special at
tention was given to the question Of
methods by which the cost of produc-
ton could be lessened For example,
at a farm business school in Renyille
county, the: figures prepared by farm
ers present at the morning session
showed that with AZ bushel corn
crop the cost in the crib would be IS
cents upon the basis Of % cents per
hour for man labor and cents per
hour for horse labor, while with a
24-bushel crop, the cost would be 60
cents per bushel. In each case, the
land rent was assumed to be one
third of the crop. = * =. % II,
Such figures as these. naturally slim
ulated interest in methods by which
good yields could be secured with but
little additional outlay, such as the
careful use of farm manure, the use

and the use Of rotations that would
maintain yields. Also the question
arose as to the best proportion Of
