w WASHINGTON, Dec S.-Presitlcnt
Harding in his annual message delivered
today to congress in person. deals with
nearly a score OF subjects. chief among
them prohibition, farm credits, the trans
portation problem. child labor and Inn
migration.
He announces his purpose to invite the
governors of the states and territories to
an early conference with the federal
executive authority with view to adopt
ing definite policies Of national and state
cooperation in administering the prohi-
Dition laws. He says the day Is unlikely
to come when the prohibition amendment
viii be repealed and that the nation
should adopt its course accordingly.
President Harding tells congress that
if the statutory provisions for prohibi-
tion enforcement are contrary to deIiber-
ate public opinion, which he does not be
lieve. the rigorous and literal enforcement
will concentrate public attention on any
requisite modification.
Such course" he adds. conforms
with the law and saves the humiliation of
the government and the humiliation of
our people before the world and chal-
lenges the destructive forces engaged in
widespread violation, official corruption
and individual decentralization"
Transportation Recommendation.
With regard 10 the transportation
problem, Mr.. Harding proposes that the
railroad labor board be abolished with
the substitution of a labor division in the
interstate commerce with ample power to
require its rulings to be accepted By both
parties to a disputed question. The
executive also proposes that the law re-
quire the carriers and their employees u

between themselves their constantly tris-
ing differences. limiting appeals to the
government body 10 disputes of such
character MS are likely to affect the public
welfare.

WHITE HOLLAND IS POPULAR
While Not So Common as Bronze IL Is
Widely Raised-Has Many
Excellent Qualities.

The white Holland turkey, while not
so common as the bronze variety, Is
nevertheless widely raised and e1-
ceedingly popular. People who keep
them long enough TO get familiar with
their qualities and characteristics
generally prefer them to any other
breed.
The origin of the white Holland Is
not known, according to writer's on
poultry, but 1t is believed to have been
developed by breeding white birds BE-
lected from other breeds, which appear
occasionally as among chickens and
are classed as Sports" 1t seems quite
certain that they did not come from
Holland or the Netherlands. It has
come to the front as a distinct breed
since about 1890. The standard
weights are, 26 lbs. for a cock; 10 lbs
for a cockerel; 16 for a hen and 10 for
a pullet- At the same time any OF
these classes may be fattened 10
from three to six pounds above the
weight quoted. Six months old COB

Tonga, little kingdom of 100 isles,

Inches in height and weighing some
thing over two hundred and eighty
pounds. He was wont to open parlia-
ment with great ceremony, the boom

gold braid. Attired In a scarlet coat,
blue trousers, plumed helmet, with an
ermine-trimmed plush cloak, trailing
from his shoulders and held by two
velvet-clad pages, King George would
march from his palace to the parlia-
ment buildings. Guns popped at in

around and bowed low In honor.

White Holland turkeys are said to
be the best layers, as a rule, among the
turkey family. In some locks the
hens will not go broody or hatch or,
if they do, it will be only after the
season is far advanced. Other speci-
will want to sit before laying a
dozen eggs and some have raised two
brOOds In a season. One man is re-
ported to have owned four turkey hens
which laid 264 eggs during the season,
while one Of them raised a brood In
July. Like all other breeds the white
birds must have proper care and prop
er feed to be profitable. Colds, lice
and filth and general neglect will be
fatal. -ss-~s-sA~ss~~

MATCHED LUMBER FOR NESTS
Plan to Have as Few Cracks and
creViees as Possible. Built In
Portable Sections.

When first In the poultry business
we thought that nests made of scrap
lumber or small boxes were satisfac-
tory. Now we believe that the nests
should be of smooth matched lumber
with as few cracks and crevices as
possible, says a writer in an exchange.
They must never be nailed to the
sides of the wall or beneath the drop
ping boards, but built in portable sec
tons, so they can be easily carried
from the house for summing and spray
Ing.
When we used open nests in some
of the houses the birds were constant
ing rOosting on them or bothering the
hens while they were laying. After
several eggs had been laid in a nest
another hen might decide to scratch
around in the litter in that nest. This
resulted in broken eggs and then It
was only a short step to the egg eat
ing habit.
The best nests are built with a
small track at the rear whore the
hens can enter. The eggs are removed
by lowering a hinged door in front.
These pests are slightly darkened and
the hens hardly see the eggs that are
laid. There is not much scratching
in the litter in a darkened nest. If
a soft-shelled egg is laid and broken
the danger of the hen eating it is re-
duced.
The e~gg-eating habit probably
aus as much loss and discourage
ment as any habit or disease which
troubles poultry keepers. The remedy
Is largely in prevention and this con-

NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
Three Classes Recognized Are EGG
Producers, Dual Purpose and Ex-
tremely Large Fowls.

What is the best breed of chickens?
That question frequently is asked by
persons who are thinking Of taking a
Blunge in the poultry business.
But there is no best breed" accord
Ing to Harry Embleton, professor Of
poultry husbandry at Oklahoma Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college.
"You can find good and poor lay
ers, large and small birds in every
breed" Embleton explains. 1T is the
strain more than the breed that is
really the more important thing to
consider"
There r three recognized general
classes of poultry" Embleton says,
''the small birds or the so-called egg
producing class, the medium-sized bird
or the so-called dual purpose class, and
the extremely large or the meat class.
There is 40 great distinction between
the egg class or the dual so far as the
egg production Is concerned, for many
of the medium meat breeds are good

found individuals that will weigh from
1--WE to five and one-half pounds and
these will make a fairly good meat
bird.
"Now, in regard to the breed you
would like to have, 1 have first to sug-
lgest that you decide upon whether you
want eggs primarily or whether you
want general-purpose breeds. When
you have made this decision pick out
the breed which you like best because
this is the breed with which you will
get the best results. After you have
picked the breed that you like best
buy your stock or eggs from a breeder
whom you know has bred for the
things that you desire. This may be
egg production or it may be show pur-
poses O. it may be a combination. You
win find many breeders that have bred
for egg production, but their stock
may not be worth very much for show
purposes. You can find breeders which

INDICATION OF LAYING HENS
Spread Of Distance Apart Of Pelvic
Bones is Valuable Sign Of
Fowls Condition.

AS a hen stops laying there Is a
tendency for her to take on fat. This
is noticeable in examining the pelvic
bones, the two bones which car be
felt as points on either side of the
vent. When the hen is laying these
bones become comparatively thin and
flexible. When she is not laying they
feel thicker and less flexible, due to
the fat which has accumulated there.
The spread of distance apart of these
pelvic bones is also a valuable indica-
tion Of whether or not the hen is lay
ing. When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying.
