TREAT HENS RIGHT

Whether laying hens profitable or not de-
ponds largely the given them, although
breeding is fundamental requirement of good
layers. But even the ordinary hen will show her
gratitude for good treatment by greatly increased
yield of eggs according to poultry expert, who
says:
"Take the average farm hen, feed and house
her poorly and she will lay only about 70 eggs a
year. Give her chance on good, feed in good
house and she will produce 140 or more But take
the same hen and breed her to pedigreed egg-bred
male and the pulet resulting will produce from $50
to 200 eggs year if properly cared for"
Under ordinary conditions it is not advised that
the average farmer try to raise his own males for
breeding purposes, because of the great amount of
trouble involved, well skill required in breed
ing 1t is less expensive and far satisfactory
to buy high class cockerels from professional
breeders.
Poultry raising is one of the most profitable of
farm activities if properly conducted, but haphaz-
ard methods will result in failure as in every other
undertaking. The main thing is to have good hens
in the flock and then treat them right.

MILLIONS FOR WORKERS

One of the greatest contributions to employee
welfare ever made by business corporation was
that recently announced by the Eastman Kodak
Company, which set aside $6,500,OO0 for insurance,
disability payments and retirement annuities for it's
10000 workers in the United States and abroad.
This is in addition to the regular annual dis
bursement of wage dividends, which for the year
1928 amounted to nearly $3,250,OOO. The annual
distribution of wage dividends has been in effect
since 1912.
Under the retirement plan, male employees
may be retired at the age of Is and females at go
years of age, the amount to be received depending
upon active salaries and length of service
Many millions in bonuses were distributed to
employees of other business concerns during the
Christmas season. under various profit-sharing and
bonus plans. All this is evidence of growing reali-

the welfare of their workers is not only worthy
sentiment, but dividend-paying investment as

with view to barring Hoover from the office on
the ground that he had not resided in the United

It appears that Mr. Ending has other ideas
not shared by people generally; for example, he has
written extensively in an effort to prove that the

Probably Mr.. Hoover is worrying less about

With the continued mild un-

of eggs has shown noticeable in-
crease. Movement of storage
stocks has slowed up. With the
outlook for colder weather and
snow, better demand is anticipat-

egg market will fluctuate with the

those of any other Minnesota editor because one
never knew just which angle of question Mr.. Day

He returned to the state senate again two
years ago when he was elected to represent Martin

of the leaders in the 1927 session.

load went through the bridge and
it will be necessary to detour traf-
fic until new bridge can be built.
The driver and the owner of the
outfit have both been fined and a
civil suit for damages filed against
the owner.
The fourteen ton limit, while it
applies to all roads, is not absolute.
The law provides that special per-
mits may be granted by the au-
thorities charged with the mainten-
ance of the road. Mr.. Babcock
suggests that persons who must
move outfits weighing more than
fourteen tons get in touch with the
district maintenance superintend-
ents, if they intend moving over a
trunk highway, who will grant
the permit if the road is in
condition to carry the load.
If there are unsafe bridges or
weak spots in the road, another
road can often be found which will
permit moving the load safely.
Besides the limits on many of the
older bridges, load restrictions are
in force on many of the unpaved
routes during the spring breakup.
Frequently such. restrictions will
keep the road passable to light traf-
fic, while on heavy load might put
it out of commission for everybody.
"WIhile the department intends
| to bring action against persons
| who damage bridges and highways
by driving with too heavy loads,
such action should not be neces-
sary," Mr.. Babcock says. every
person who drives over a bridge
with load greater than permitted,
should know that ne is risking both
life and property. A person who
drives a ten ton truck through a
road where loads are restricted to
two or three tons, is almost certain
to be mired and to incur heavy ex-
pense to himself and Inconvenience
