DOUGLAS Hens
SECOND IN The
State CONTEST

The white leghorn hens of Thomas
H.. Short, of Douglas, have annexed
unusual honors in the fifth Arizona
egg laying contest for the month of
December, held at the University OF
Arizona. Shorts mems were second
in both entire contest and also in
the tight class. Twenty pens of hens
were entered In the contest.
The results Of the fifth egg laying
contest are a credit to the poultry
breeders Of Arizona, according to
university officials. The percentage
production of $50 to date is a ten
per cent better production than that
Of last year over the same period OF
time. The contest ranked third IN
the United States last year.
The production of 613 is con>
sidered very good for the month Of
December, especially when 1t is con
sidered that no wet mash was FED
or artificial lights used. The hign
pen has laid 1.6 per cent moro eggs
than the best pen of last year. It's
production to date is 71G per cent
The high hen exceeds that of las,
year by 40 per cent, its production
to date being 500 per cent
The white leghorns Of A. c. Wrenn,
Of Florence, lead both the contest
and the light class with 437 eggs FOR

HOME HEATING ADVICE
By ARA MARCUS DANIELS,
Consulting and Advisory Engineer.
Requirements for Satisfactory and
Economical Heating.

Economical EedtIHSs
Many of the requirements entering
into the satisfactory heating of a
home are so commonplace that the
owner gives little If any thought to
them. Some of the causes for unsat-
isfactory heating performance, how
ever, may be due to improper design
or construction of the houses them
selves, or possibly an unfortunate Sc
lection Of the type of heating equip
nent to give the best results. In this
case, 1t is a question whether or not
the cost of alterations or replace
ments would, over a period Of years,
overbalance the continued operation
under existing conditions at a lower
efficiency. This may readily be de-
termined by consulting a heating spe
cialist in your own community. On
the other hand, it is safe to say that
in practically every home certain
things may be done at little or no ex-
pense to effect an appreciable econ
omy in operation of the heating plant
as well as to promote greater comfort
fn the household.
The satisfactory and efficient heat
ing Of homes requires, first, that the
house construction be so tight that
heat is confined within and the cold
air kept out; second, that building ma
terials which offer the greatest resist
ance to passage Of heat be used;
third, that the chimney fiue be Of the
proper size and in the proper place;
fourth, that proper heating equip
ment be installed correctly; fifth, that
the plant be understood thoroughly
and operated in a manner to give the
maximum return from fuel consumed;
sixth, that air be kept humidifed as

that this earlier condition was not

been to tone up and strengthen the

"Prior to September 1 of this year
