No Profit in Holding Cock

Twelve Weeks.

All surplus males, indeed all of the

the company of the pulIets before
they are old enough TO become both

custom TO sell the males at the age
when they weigh about 2 pounds
each. Chicks that are Matched be-
fore the first of April bring good
prices at the 2-pOund stage. This
should be by the time they are 10 or
u weeks old. or earlier. Many grow
good broilers of pounds in eight
weeks, sometimes in six.

Fattening Turkeys on
Range Is Proper Plan

In getting the turkeys ready for
market it is a good thing to begin
feeding a little night and morning
about the middle of September.
The feed should be very light at
first and the amount gradually in
creased until about ten days before
marketing, when they should be given
all they will consume three times a
day.
In the beginning equal parts of
wheat, oats and corn may be given,
but the proportion of corn should be
gradually increased until the last of
October. when they should be fed on
corn alone.
AS usual thing, results are not sat

JUDGE TO RULE
IN WILD SUIT
Hearing in Case Against
Realty Firm Ends.

Superior Judge William o. Dun

nent the case in which Richard L.
Lowther, receiver Of the defunct j. F.
Wild & Co., State bank, seeks to COL
lect $4,000 from shareholders of the
Elevator Realty Company, bank
rupt subsidiary of the bank.
The allegations are that the bank
loaned money to the realty company
which has not been repaid. The
first financial exchange between
the bank and the realty company
is said to have taken place in April,
1921. when bank officials arranged
to make up a S38O,0O0 overdrafJ the
realty company had against the
bank.
Thomas Daily. defense attorney,
said the bank officials went out of
their way to save the banks repu-
tation of never having lost money
Of an investor.
perhaps the bank officials
realized there we're violations of the
criminal code and we're not only try
ing to protect their slogans and
regulations but also their hides"
Daily asserted. THE result was that
the realty company ended up robbed
robbed by the bank. If some Of
the money the bank paid for realty
company stocks had gone back into
it instead of being juggled by hocus-
pocus, perhaps the company would
not be bankrupt"
Dunlavy said he did not know
when he would rule on the case.
