PRODUCTION OF EGGS
Increasing Supply is Shown
by Rusk County Poultry
Woman.

The first winter we spent in
Wisconsin, many of the people
here told us it would not pay to
keep chickens. 1t was too cold,
they would not lay, was the main
argument. Some of the farmers
never kept chickens, others sold
theirs in the fall and then would
buy few in the spring again.
The majority of the rest saved up
eggs in the fall for winter use.
This was not encouraging, but
we had few chickens and a good
chicken house to keep them In.
The house consisted of three
rooms with the south side all win
dows. In two of the rooms we
kept the floors free of straw and
chaff. In these we had three hop
pers, one containing oyster shell,
another grit and the third COM
mercial egg mash, which we kept
before them all the time. A box
of ashes was in one room and a
box of sand in the other. Also a
long trough was in each room for
feeding wet mash.
In the third room we kept a
deep litter of straw. Here the
first thing in the morning we fed
scratch feed shaken in we'll so
they had to work for their break
fast. About ten o'clock they were
given some kind of vegetables,
cabbage, 'bagas or beets. At noon
they were fed a wet mash consist
ing of cooked meat scraps and
thickened with bran, enough bran
being put in to keep it from being
mushy. They were fed just what
they would clean up in ten or fiji
teen minutes. The mash was fed
hot.
Then about an hour before dark
they were given all the corn they
could eat. The bones from the
meat scraps were dried and two
or three times a week they receiv-
ed a feed of cracked bones. Milk
and warm water were kept in easy
reach &C all times.
And did our chickens lay? II
say so. We had only thirty tive
hens and all winter we got from
twenty-five to twenty-eight eggs
every day. This our fourth winter
here and needless to say our egg
basket has never been empty, mel
Their have we stored eggs for win
ter use. We have found from Elk
perience that it isn't the weather
conditions that count most, but
the time and care given the hen
The more we do for them the
more they do for us.-Mrs. Ruth
Larson, Rusk County.

Harmony Is Desirable.

Community harmony is wonder
full. It's absence is lamentable
With harmony there is much that
community can accomplish.
Without it there is little that can
be done. One group of citizens
can hardly secure needed improve
ments if other groups are knit
ing the project in the back. 1t
is fortunate that we do not all
think alike, because many of us
are married and that would com
plicate matters tremendously. But
there is no reason why a common
ground cannot be found upon
which opposing groups can meet
and work in harmony for civic de-
velopment and moral improve
ment. Turn the thought over in
your mind for a while. 1t may
develop a better one.-Burlington

work Of Mr.. Mark ana Miss
Gretchen Hood, plus the assistance
Of Washington's leading singers
and musicians.
For Miss Hood the concert was
moreover something Of a personal
triumph. Her voice, which of late
she has been blending almost eN
clusively with the strings and
brasses Of the Navy orchestra and
band, was the same brilliant voice
in quartet and accompanied by
cello and piano.
Mr.. Mark, who controlled the
microphone, although not passing
The entraElce examinations to sthe

Rivaling Miss Hoods soprano on
the air throughout the evening was
the bass OF j. e. s. Kinselia, which
easily brushed aside all mechanical
obstacles that confront a singer

Other voices that found an easy
entry into the headphOnes were
those of Hazel Arth and Fred East.

Washington, Jan. 12-A bill calling upon the secretary of labor to investi- gate the question of convict labor thor oughly in relation to competition with free labor and al other essential factors was introduced by Representative Zihl- man this week
 A report to Congres swould be re- ,quested regarding the kind and quan- tity of merchandise manufactured in both the State and Federal prisons, the number of convicts thus employed, the value of the produces sold outside prisons, in competition with products of free la bor, the vaue of products used in Gov ernment institutions and the relative sta- tus of convict and free labor.
 This would enbrare a report on the dulk mills at the Atlanta Federal Peni- tentiary and upon work garments whirh are produced by convicts at various State prisons.

The wholesale discharges of the strikebreakers in the shops certainly started something and gave these fellows an idea of just how they stood with the company they so '1oya1ly" supported for the past Y months The discharges almost caused a riot at the Readville shops an ddid in fact start rumpus in which the general foreman and other foremen were chased about the plant by the angry strikebreakers, all throwing nuts and bolts at the bosses. The story was not published in the daily press but was given to Federation Secretary Henderson by Boston reporter assigned to "cover 1t" but who didn't get his story into type It says:
 At the Readville repair shops of the New Haven, an order was re- ceived to shut the shops down on December 22, to be re-opened Ian. 2. Along with this order a number of the strikebreakers were to be laid off for an indefinite period, and paid in full, or discharged. When the strike breakers got the full import of the order, and after 1t finally sank deep enough into their domes they began to ask one another what the manage ment meant when 1t told them they were hired as permanent men and that there was system of seniority on the railroad and advancement where ability was shown, that might some day lead some of them to be president of the railroad
 They decided to send a committee of their so-called company union to the office to find out about their sen iority. The committee had an inter view with the officials and were told that seniority would not be given consideration until the road became normal again. Obviously, the com m1ttee considered this explanation all right, and they would be taken care of themselves for the time being. They forthwith made their report to. their constituents in as nice way as possible under the circumstances. The strlkebreakers, Tn order to show their appreciation, proceeded forthwith to throw nuts and bolts at the foremen all over the shop, and to show fur ther their marked appreciation and satisfaction at the way they were be- ing treated. They chased the general foreman all around the shop. with more nuts and bolts.
 Then to top off the whole matter of permanent employment and sen lority, letter in the form of Christ mas greeting was sent by the man. agement to large number of the ones that were laid off from Novem- Der last to January 2, advising them that their ratings were abolished, and that 1t would not be necessary for them to report for duty on January 2. No doubt the supervisory officials at Readville shops felt a little jubiliant because these misguided strikebrealz- CTS that were notified by letter, would not at least have the opportunity of showing their newly acquired or as- simulated "Bolshevik" p1ayfulness by chasing them around the shops with nuts and bolts.
