Ak IS BEST FOR EGG EATERS
Habit Spreads From One Fowl 70 An.

Affects Whole Flock.

prepared BY the United States Department,
Of Agriculture
Egg eating sometimes becomes q &C.
ri0us vice I'm q flock, the fowls becom-
ing very fond of eggs when they have
learned to eat them. The habit
spreads from fowl to fowl and unless
checked will often spread through the
whole flock. Egg eating usually begins
through accident by eggs being broken
or frozen. See that the nests are prop
erly supplied with straw or other nest
ing material and have them darkened
so that If an egg IL accidentally broken
the fowls will not be likely to dis
cover 1t. Supply plenty of lime In the
form Of oyster shells, bone or similar
substances to insure q firm shell. As
soon as 1t Ia discovered that q fowl
has formed the habit, the fowl should
be removed to prevent the spread Of
the vice. Once formed, II is dificult
to eradicate, and the safest remedy 10
the death penalty, say poultry special
lists Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
Fowls sometimes pluck feathers
from themselves and from each other
This Is often caused by too close con-
tinement. by the presence Of insect
pests. or by improper feeding. When
some OF the fowls Of a flock have
formed the habit slightly, wide
range with a change Of diet, including
a plentiful supply Of animal feed. and
freedom from insect pests. will usual
ly correct the evil. Above all, see
that the fowls have plenty Of induce
ment to exercise. II the habit becomes
well formed 1t Is very troublesome and
may necessitate the killing Of some Of
the fowls In order to stop 1t.

WOULD TAKE MANY HEARsEs
Firms That Have Died Since Drop in

Funeral.

Suppose funeral passed your
house with $4,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't it?
1t would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fail
ures since prices began to tumble In
May, 1920, Notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled SO very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over 1t.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 2,0OO,OOO business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
preston only one business in every
ffty-three has failed. The percentage
of farmers that have gone broke is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about $60O,00000O IA year in liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay so per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $3OOOOO,0OO n

lean. Might be much worse, remarks

CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease in Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated Il
total population of S.769,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
S39; Nova Scotia, 23,s37; Prince Ed
ward island, SS,6l5; Quebec, 2,349,-
O67; Ontario, 2,929,O54; Manitoba,
613O0S; British Columbia, 523,363 /;
Yukon, 4,1G2; Northwest territories,
6,6s4, and Canadian navy, 4s5. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
1010-1920, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives of 566SO
Canadians killed in action, while 40
900 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase In population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
of South Africa the increase WAS 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing So per cent in
crense; Saskatchewan over 50 per
cent, and Manitoba, 33 per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
Of parliament will be 36.25O. This total
Is arrived at by dividing by So the
population of each province.

until his daughters come in milk. If
he transmits his breeding to his

until he is no longer useful. To fol-

TAKE RIGHT CARE OF CREAM
During Hot Weather It Should Re.
ceive More Attent;on-cooI Soon
as Possible. :.

During hot weather cream must re-
ceive better care on the average farm.
AS soon after separating as possible,
cool the cream by setting the can in
cold water. Never mix the fresh
warm cream with the cream from pre-
vious separation until cooled as low
as possible. Do not keep cream too
long at the farm. Send 1t to the
creamery or take it TO the cream sta
tion at least twice Il week. and three
times week when the weather gets
hot. Poor, stale cream will not make
good butter. If the creamery cannot
make good butter the average price Of
cream will he lower than If good brt-
ter can be made.

ADVISERS SAY HARDING SHOULD
DEMAND SETTLEMENT OF
RAIL STRIKE.


Washington. While on the surface
concrete developments in the railroad
strike are lacking in Washington the
Impression gained in official circles
was that the situation was being rapid
ly shaken down" to point where
new move by the administration could
be expected.
Cabinet members who discussed the
situation invariably declared that
President Harding was in personal
charge of the question.
Further evidence was obtained that
some of the chief executives advisers
have urged that the government can
not permit the breakdown of the coun-
try's arteries of commerce to go fur
ther, while waiting for the railroad
managements and shopmen to dispose
of their differences
The President, 1t Is understood, has
been assured by his advisers that his
authority for decisive action, without
recourse to Congress, is without ques-
ton. Two courses would be open to
him in order physically to operate the
roads, 1t was said First, he could re-
quest the strikers to return to work
under the government operation at the
old wage scale and with seniority
rights restored. If this failed, then
rederal troops could be called upon to
assure operation of the trains.
The first course, the President is
understood to believe, would be ac-
ceptable to the strikers, who would see
in 1t the capitulation of the railroad
executives. and a victory won for Ia
Dor. The chief contention of the strik-
ers, it was said has developed into
fight for seniority, with the wage dis
pute becoming subordinate.
Observation-Disclosures upon ten
tative plan for distribution of coal and
for the restriction of unfair prices was
announced here by Secretary Hoover
after a series of conferences with rep
resentatives of producing operators,
the railroads, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and other departments of
the government.
The plan, Which was described by
Attorney General Daugherty in an
opinion as entirely legal" is to be
discussed further by the conferees and
the agreement of the operators pre-
ent is dependent upon the approval of
their various associations.
Under the proposed plan President
Harding would appoint "A committee
which would have general supervision
of the measures to be adopted for
emergency fuel control designed to
safeguard the public from an impend-
ing coal famine.
Application of the law governing in
terstate commerce, through the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, would
enable the ALLEGATION of freight cars
to be governed by the maintenance of
fair prices for coal among the oper-
ators
