NOTICE, POULTRY RAISERS.

III you have not culled your flock,
1t Is too late now, but now is the
time to select your birds for the
breeding pen. 1t Is best to Gull
your flocks in the fall. for then you
will not have to feed chickens all
winter that do not lay.
The number of females to be mat
ed with one male varies with the
class of stock. For the heavy breeds
about eight to ten; for the medium
weight breeds about ten to fifteen,
and for the light breeds fifteen to
twenty. Where you have only one
pen and need more eggs 1t is advis-
able to use two males, turning one
in the pen one day, and the other
the next day, and have two times as
many females in the pen. II you do
this you should have an extra pen
for the male that Is not in use.
Hens that are at least one year
old are best to use in the breeding
pen; use mature males.
To hold chickens when culling.
take one leg between the index and
big finger. the other leg between
the third and small finger, and
place the head under the arm.
characteristics in chickens which
favor egg production are:
1. The capacity of a hen, which
is measured by placing the hand
across the abdomen between the rear
part of the breastbone and pelvic
bones. If three fingers can be plac-
ed there it shows that she has good
capacity, ability to consume large
amount of food. and that she has
large and full reproductive organs.
2. The condition of hen which
is measured by noting the plump
ness of the flesh on the breastbone.
If the hen is out of condition the
flesh will be shrunk from the breast
bone. If in good condition the
flesh will be full and rounding over
the breastbone.
3. The factor which really points
out the true egg type is the thick
ness of the pelvic bones. IF these
are thin and wide between. it Is the
high egg producing type of hen. If
these are thick and meaty, ii is the
meat type.
| Other characteristics which also
/ favor egg production are:
| /. Strong, gentle, healthy, and
happy birds.
2. Not moulting before October.
8 Shank and beak pale.
4. Earlobes showing no yellow.
g. Skin soft and velyety
6. Breastbone thin and Of fine
quality.
7. Abdomen soft and flexible
It has been the general idea that
cOckrell secured from neighbor
is better to use in the breeding pen.
Every time YOU get a coekrell from
neighbor, you are bringing a new
strain into your flock, and that will
spoil the strain you already have.
/ Unless you have poor strain OF
| stock. it Is better to pick out the
best from your own flock. for then
you will be building up a strain
that will he good producers, If you
use proper methods in selecting the
birds for the breeding pen.

Committee have been at work on the
contract for a month and finally
agreed upon a contract, we felt that
all we could reasonably ask was
that they pay the growers in Idaho
the same as they did last year above
the Utah contract, or scots higher
guaranteed minimum to offset the
higher sugar content OF the Idaho
beets.
This they did and we the Idaho
State Sugar Beet Committee of the
Farm Bureau have approved the con-
tract. believing that this is the best
we could reasonably hope for this
year, every thing considered.
1t Is better division in the lower
sugar prices than last years contract.
For example on a 16 per cent beet
the difference shows:

The belligerents in the vicinity Of
Belfast ought to respect the rules Of
warfare to the extent that hospitals
shall be immune from attack. During
the World war, submarine attacks On
hospital ships were execrated as out
breaks of barbarism and were consii-
cred as among the worst crimes Of tie
entire war; and the shelling of los,
pital buildings on land was held to lie
an outrage. Yet the zeal or the rare.
lessness Of belligerents in the present
embroglic in Ireland went to the point
that hospital in one part Of Bel
fast was subjected to rife firing, the
patients being thrown into constsr-
nation by the fusillade. Both sides
ought to take immediate steps to pre-
vent the possibility Of similar occur
rences, lest the regrettable warfare
now being carried on become more
thoroughly an outrage. A hospital,
when used as hospital, should be
place immune from attack or from
danger.

DANGER SIGNS AT CROSSINGS.

| New York has her grade crossings
the same as Vermont, as We know
from the fatalities at Binghamton
when an Erie railroad train struck a
truck and killed three patients in an
insane asylum and injured two Others.
The grade crossing problem win never
be solved until it is solved by the elm
nation of the crossings at grade, Ell
Their by underpass or overpass. tn re
are innumerable crossings at grade in
Vermont with nothing to warn people
of the danger except the spirit Of
caution and warning whistle WHEN
the train is almost upon one. With
the marked increase in motor vehicle
travel on the Vermont highways, it
is wonder that the daily press is
not called upon to chronicle an acei-
dent a day on the grade crossings cf
Vermont. Until such time as the grade
crossings are eliminated, common
sense demands that some warning T.
nal be placed at every crossing. 4
sign of commanding size will serve. tie
purpose of putting people on their
guard as they approach the numerous
blind crossings to be found in almost
any part of the state; and il ought
be insisted upon that the railroads g,
operate with the state and towns n
setting up such signs.

Whatever feeling of disappointment
or animosity Senator Lodge may have
had that the Republican party went
into the United States Senate and Sc
lected William G. Harding instead OF
Henry Cabot Lodge for president of
the United States seems to have been
dissipated after year of service by
Harding in the White House, for SEN
ator Lodge, in the course of notable
talk before the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery in Boston recently, took oc-
casion to commend Harding most cor
daily and to praise his personal sab
ordination in the office of president.
There is, perhaps, trace OF animos-
ity toward Harding's predecessor in
Office in Senator Lodges utterance re
garding the ability of Harding to think
in terms of his country rather than Of
his party and of himself. 1t is we'll
known fact that Senator Lodge and
Woodrow Wilson were at swords
points, SO to speak, while the latter
was occupying the White House, and
that Senator Lodge had the greatest
faculty for disturbing Wilson Of any
man in public life in Washington.
knowing those facts, one can read be-
tween the lines Of Senator Lodges
praise of President Harding to see an
indirect slap at ex-President Wilson.
There apparently is no love lost ne
tween Lodge and Wilson at the pres
ent time.
