CARE OF BREEDERS
Second Six Weeks

By p S. Dickey, Manager
The birds at this time (apout the
middle of November) should be well
feathered out and are now entering
the critical part of the rest period.
If the bi-Gs are allowed to get too
fat they will not lay well later on
when eggs are wanted. Fertility and
hatchablnty will ass be poor.
In the morning feed all the oats
they will eat. Oats may BIZ fed either
dry or sprouted. Cut on your grain
feed if bir6s are not active and work
ing. Animal protein in mash should
be cut to one half that in laying mash.
Be sure to feed plenty Of gieens.
SO to 1919 alfalfa sleaves and Dos
sens or meal to the mash will in
cease vitamines and give good yell
low shanks. Get. good grade of al
falfa. The pale kind may contain
5000 to 400 f,ber% while the dark
may only contain 1870. 10 to 2%
cod liver oil added to the mash or
scratch may be used to advantages.
Mix your oil well, then add mixture
to mash; 4 quarts Of skim milk e.:
2 pounds of ssmi-solid should be led
daily to each 100 birds.
If an abundance o. green feed is
available, mash is not necessary until
eggs are wanted. In using grain
ration, however, 6 quarts of skim milk
or 5 pounds OF serIli-solid should be
used and when eggs are wanted con-
tinue milk anc start mash.
Give birds plenty of room. Three
square feet of floor space for each
bird and all the good clean range
possible. Keep litter clean and d:y.
A little light two weeks before
Matching season will do more good
than harm. Without lights birds will
get up before daybrsak and lay around
on the cold floor. Turning on lights
at $3.50 A. M. gets them to working
at once. Do not light at night.
Don't force b'rds into lay or try
to hold them back-let them come
in to production normally.
Until mating time cockerels should
be kept by themselves and fed plenty
of corn meal and one half growing
mash plus little bone meal and mixed
with milk. Give mix to drink. .
Males for the breeding rens should
be mature and weigh at least 4N
pounds, preferably S pounds. Mate
ten days to two weeks before eggs are
wanted at least males for each 100
hers. Supp'y cockerel feeders for the
males in the breeding pens.

WILD PLANTS TELL
OF SOIL CONDITIONS

Every plant has story to tell
about the conditions under which 1t IS
growing. provided we understand the
plant. Some plants tell us that range
or pasture is overgrazed; others that
the soil is alkaline, sandy or underlaid
by hardpan; that the rainfall is scanty,
or some other story. Ability to recog-
nize the indicator value of the wild
plants growing on piece of land
usually makes it easy to figure out
how this land can be best utilized.
The kinds of forage plants to seed
on alkali seepage areas are. indicated
by the wild plants growing on it. The
treatment for restoring depleted ranges
is suggested by the kind and abund-
ance of the wild plants on these and
adjacent ranges. The amount of alkal.
in the soil is indicated by the wild
plants. First signs of ,overgrazing are
told by many plants.
Sagebrush indicates that the soil is
free from alkali and usually that the
soil is deep. Crossword (chico) and
alkali grasses, as salt grass and alkall
meadow grass, indicate high con-
centration of allai and a. shallow wat
er table. Western wheat grass (blue-
sten) endures somewhat less a!lkali and
indicates that certain tame pasture
grasses will succeed.
i Wire grass indicates gravelly OF
sandy soil, sometimes overgrazing.
Western wheat grass indicates deep
coil. Short grasses as buffalo and
grama grass indicates freedom from,
alkali, long summer drouths and shall
low hardpan.
Overgrazing is indicated by such
plants as the low mountain sage, cacti
snakeweed and large number Of
pniSanalls and 1lnpalat,l,ia x,1a.,4s

FERTILIZER GONE AT MUSCLE
SHOALS

There IL so much politics mixed
up in undertakings of an industrial
character entered into by the govern
ment that he average citizen becomes
bewildered by conflicting statements.
Nowhere has this been better illus
trated than in the controversies over
Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam.
In the case of Muscle Shoals, the
advocates of government ownership
of industry would ostensibly have
the government manufacture cheap
nitrates, bue in reality they would
put it into the electric power bust
ness. In the case of Boulder Dam,
the necessity for flood control on the
Colorado River, which is a legimate
function of government. is the We
hicle used for attempting to launch
the government on a power develop
ment scheme entirely outside of and
unrelated to the problem of flood
control.
Muscle Shoals has for years been
the playthlng OF politics, but, accord
ing to an article which appeared in
the July issue of Farm and Fireside-
the Oldest and one of the most con-
servative agricultural publications in
the country-it is no longer a factor
in the production of nitrates.
The article by Wheeler McMillen
one of it's editors, under the caption
why Nitrates are Going to be
Cheaper" declares that electric power
has ceased to be vital factor in
the fixation OF atmospheric nitrogen
III consequence of new chemical pro.
cesses now perfected which employ
coal instead of electricity to produce
air nitrates. He stresses the fact
that cheaper and simpler processes
which are revolutionizing the nitrate
industry, effectually eliminate Muscle
Shoals and other great hydroelectrie
projects from consideration in terms
of munitions or fertilizers. The arti
! Gle then gives review of the new
methods of securing nitrates.
The conclusions to be drawn from
the Muscle Shoals incident again EN-
phasize the fact that when the govern
ment goes into business, the taxpayers
must either suffer when propert:e.
become useless or out of date, OF
else the government must go still
deeper into business to meet changed
ccrditions-to the detr.ment of it
Citizens who must compete with i
ard at the same time pay taxes t.
enable their own government to drive
them out of business and thereby des
trey sources of tax revenue necessary
to maintain government.
The whole argument for govern
ment ownership of industry falls t:
pieces when analysed, for it is il1ogica
and unfair in country which guar
antees freedom for the individual ii
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness

FEWER CHRISTMAS PARCELS

AS near as can be determined,
the incon ing Christmas mail at
White Bluffs tbs year was abo.t
equal to that of 1926. while the out
going mail, So far as parcels are con-
cerned, was less. The number of
cards mailed at White Bluffs was
much larger than last year. Rural
Carrie: w. S. Angle found it neces-
sary to make two trips Wednesday
Thursday, friday, and Saturday in
order to deliver all of the mail for
patrons on the route, indicating that
the campaign to "Shop Early and
Mail Ealy" is getting results. In
coming packages continued to arrive
fer few days after Christmas, how
ever, proving that the early mailing
campaign must be continued.

THE COST" or A PIG

Henry Ward Beecher once told OF
buying 80 pig, feeolng it $40 worth
ct COIN, and Selling it ror $40; he
said that he lost money on the corn,
but he cleared wuoie collar on the
pig. ,
that is the way with municipal
ownership of most utilities. Ihey BUY
the SO pig-the plant; they iced 1t
$40 worth Of political fayoritism, poll
teal inetticiency, everybody busl-
ness, ,.rresponAloility, saxes that 1t
does not pay-and then they sell $40
wolth of service and claim savings.
The pig" seems to show profit I'M
der that system of bookkeeping; but
the golden corn-the taxes, the i cen
two the intelligent development,
growth and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN
the pigs hungry jaws.
This gives point to the recent study
made by ]. a. Van Osdol formerly
president Of the Indiana Municipal
League, showing that in the munich
ally owned electric utilities OF Massa-
chusetts it costs IS per cent more to
manufacture current and 81 per cent
more to distribute it than it does IN
private plants of the same state.
The press is united in saying that
the government has no right to go into
the printing business and print en-
welcomes. 1t is united in saying that
the absurdly low quoted price does not
actually cover the cost of the service;
that the rest is made UP in excess
postal rates, if not in general taxation
and that the local printer is made the
goat of vicious political monopoly,
Municipal or state ownership and
operation Of utilities is similar as
sault on the businesses by which fres
men live. 1t Pays no taxes-it is moi
bound by the rules that bind private
competition. It has no responsible con-
troll that must in self-protection kno"
it's cost and efficiency. 1t can make ur
losses by taxation or impaired or cur
tailed service. Established as a prlncl'
pal, public ownership might well starr
printing offices, brick factories, stores
movies, foundries and farms.
The press that has seen the vicious
ness of the so-called federal printing
that is really exorbitantly paid Tor
by indirect taxes. may well condemn
the advancing tide of socialized own
erslaip.

KEEP THE POULTRY HOUSE
WARM

Too many poultrymen we believe
are neglecting to give careful enough
attention to the housing problem
Of the poultry flock during the tall
and winter season. A number OF
places visited recently show the
need CT more thorough thought and
attention given to this phase OF the
work. :.
The fundamental thing to keep IN
mind in poultry housing is to re-
member that the house must De

drafts at that time do not have ser

house warm and free of drafts. All
roof and end gable ventilation should
be closed unless this ventilation is
provided for by air shafts coming
within about foot of the floor. Inc
back Of the house must be closed
tightly, burlap, sacks or muslin over
openings permit entirely too much
circulation in a open front house.
Windows on the end of the house
must also be closed tightly. The
amount of opening in the front OF
the house should depend upon the

Of opening should be reduced prefer
rab,y by closing these openings from
the bottom up, or by closing a part
of the openings with muslin frames.

TOURIST VILLAGES

At last the time has come, ,Swhen
tourists travelling along the various
highways of the country, can find
comfort and rest when putting UP for
THE night. Heretofore, the accomoda-
tons have been inadequate, necessi-
tating the traveller going to a great
deal of expense in eqt1ipping himself
with the furnishings, cooking utensils,
ETC., necessary fer the trip. But
thanks to the foresight of a group of
business men auto villages are being
erected at comfortable driving dis
tances apart so that the Nautoist can
+. avel along the highways with
economy, rest and comfort
The village at Seattle has been
completed and work is being rushed
On all other units. The Seattle village,
as will the others, consists of one,
two and three room Cottages with
r. ivate baths, equipped with electric
ranges, electric heating, hot and cold
water twenty-fcur hours day, kit
chen utensils, new furniture, wonder
full beds with clean and luxuriant
bedding, private garage, and a gro
ce-y and meat shop. To provide for
the fully equipped traveller, splendid
camping places have been set aside.
Seemingly everything possible is be-
ing done to create homelike and
friendly atmosphere.
Ous-of-town visitors to Seattle are
invited to inspect the Seattle Auto
village and make it their home during
their visit. The rates average $3.50 a
day for each couple and suggest
reasonableness which should give
them fine patronage.

HEALTH HINTS
ABy A. E. Stunt, M. d.
State Director of Health


There has been so much discussion
about infectious and contagious diseases
with no entirely satisfactory definition
tor either term, that recently the two
have been grouped together and called
communicable. The term commune
able obviously includes all those dis
eases which are catching in one way
or another. A few simple points which
we should all observe about these
catching or communicable diseases
are: -
That to isolate the sick person is
the most important thing to do in
a case CT communicable disease or
where there is suspicion of a. COM
municable disease.
Not to let child with "a fever,
nausea, sore throat or other symp-
toms suspicious of communicable
disease go to school or play with
other children.
If your child has been exposed
to a communicable disease and APP
pears i'll, call your doctor Immediately,
he may be able to help you.
Disease germs do not fly around
in the air.
You get a communicable disease
by either-Personal contact with
sick person; personal contact with a
person who is just coming down with
the disease but who has not as, yet
any easily recognizable symptoms;
personal contact with what is known
as carrier-an apparently well per-
son who nevertheless harbors the
organizms or germs of the disease
and is able to pass the disease to you.
A thorough cleaning at the termin-
alton Of case with special care
to boil or disinfect things which
have been in contact with the patient
is necessary.
The observance of these rules would
prevent the occurrence of large
number of cases of communicable
disease.
If you have cold, keep it to your
self. Don't broadcast your germs.
Don't salute the universe when you
sneeze or cough. Snesze or cough in
your handkerchief.
Wash your hands thorotgly sever
al times day when you have cold
Don't shake hands with anybody
while you have a cold.
Don't use the common drinking
cup or common towel or common
washcloth. The latter is esnecially
likely to be found where there are a
number of little children in the FAM
ilv and where cups, towels and wash
cloths have a way of getting passed
around.
If you contract a cold, the quickest
way to get we'll is to go to bed and
remain there until you have recov-
cred.

THE GUY WHO STUDIED
HIS TOE

Did you ever meet a youngster who
had been and stubbed his toe
An was settin' by the roadside, just
cryin' soft and low,
A-hcldin' of his dusty foot, SO hard
and brown and bare,
Tryin' to keep from his eyes the tears
a-gatherin' there?
You hear him sort O. sobbin' like, an
snifflin' of his nose; III
You stop an pat him on the head an
try to ease his woes,
You treat him sort o. kind like, in the
first thing that you know,
He's up and off a-smilin', clean forgot
he's stubbed his toe.
Now, long the road Of life you'll find
a fellow goin' slow,
An like as not he's some poor cuss
who's been anc stubbed his toe
He was maxim swimmin' Roadway till
he bumped into stone,
An his friends kept hurryin' onward
and left him there alone;
He's not sobbin', he's not snifflin' he's
just too old for cries,
But he's griev..l' just as earnest, if ii
only comes in signs.
An it does lot of good sometimes
to 60 little slow
An speak a word O. comfort to the
guy who's stubbed his toe.
You know, you're not so sure yourself
arr there amt no way to know
Just whcsl it's comm your time to sl.r
an stub your toe;
To6hy, you're bright and happy in thu
worlds sunlight and glow,
An tomorrow you're a-freezin' AM
trudgin' through the snow.
The time you think you've got tlls
world the tightest in your grip
Is the very time you'll find that you're
the likeliest to slip.
So it does a lot O. good sometimes te
go little slow,
An speak word O comfort to th'
guy who's stubbed his toe.
