meats during the past year have
caused the public to become more
accustomed to eating large amounts
of chickens and particularly broil-
ers. While present business condi-
tions are not generally considered
as good, the prospects are that the
financial conditions will be as good
or better than year ago by the
time these early hatched chicks be-
come broilers. With only sixty per
cent the number of broilers to draw
from out of storage. broiler prices
may be very satisfactory. Chick
prices are, likely to be somewhat
lower than last year, and feeds are
considerably below a year ago
These factors should indicate that
the cost of production is likely to
be lower and the price per pound
higher, which are two important
factors - making a profit from ear
ly Matched chicks.
Better equipment is required for
these extra early chicks than for
normal brooding. Unless good
chicks are secured, the losses may
be so heavy that it is difficult to
make a profit. The problem of feed
ing is more important with these
early chicks than with the later
ones that have access to good range.
After ones mind has been made up
that there is a good possibility for
putting the brooding equipment to-
double usage for next year in hatch
ing out an early group of broilers
before-the laying stock for next
year is broOded, it is very essential
that the equipment be gotten iii
good shape, that chicks are purchas-
ed which will live, and that test
ed feeding program is put into prac-
tice. These things, coupled with
good management and sanitation,
give promise of profit in carly
broilers this year.

SHALL l RAISE BROILERS
THIS YEAR?
By Prof. P. G. Riley

December, January and February
are the months in which chicks for
broiler purposes are usually hatch
ed. Ordinarily a good market is
found for broilers which are pro-
duced from chicks Matched during
these months. Last season, howe
ever, saw small or not profit made
from these extra early hatches. One
of the chief reasons for this was the
very heavy holding of cold storage
broilers, couple with the business
depression, which kept prices down
to the point where there was no real
money for the poultry raisers in the
early broiler business.

PROLAPsE OF THE OyIDUCT
By Prof. H. D. Munroe

A large percentage of poultry
mortality can be traced to the trou-
BILE commonly called prolapsus, OF
inverted oviduet. The causes of this
poultry trouble, though not definite,
may be due to one or more of the
following factors:
l. Pick outs.
2. Weakening of the muscles Of
the oviduct brought on by the strain
of heavy production.
3. An overfat condition Of young
pullets just starting to lay.
4. Constipation due to not enough
laxative feeds such as green and
succulent feeds or a lack of liquids.
5. Lack of lubricating material in
the oviduct brought on by an incom-
plete ration.
6. Difficulty in laying large eggs.
Even if some trouble does not ap-
pear, it is good plan to prevent it
as far as possible by using a liberal
supply of succulent green feeds.
Such feeds as sprouted oats, cab
bage and mangles should be used.
Some kind of milk in the ration is
important A dose of some laxative
such as epson salts Il pound of
salts per 400 pounds of poultry
may be needed as often as once a
month if no succulent feed is avail
able.
At time of abnormally high pro-
duction, accompanied by prolapse,
it is practical to reduce the proper
tion of mash consumed. This can be
most easily done by increasing the
amount of grain. If production is
checked severely by any change in
feeding the loss from lowered egg
production is likely to be greater
than the loss of birds from pro-
lapse.
A suggestion worth trying is to
reduce the amount of corn to 25 per
cent of the scratch grain mixture.
Such grains as wheat, oats, barley
and buckwheat can be added to take
the place of corn.
AS prolapse appears in a flock,
cannibalism is likely to cause heavy
losses. Birds are likely to start |
picking at the vents that show a
trace of blood.
Some hens have the habit of stay !
ing near the nests and picking those
while in the act of laying. For this
reason it is advisable to keep the
nest darkened. Whenever a bird is
caught picking another, trim her
beak. In bad cases of pickouts it is
to trim the whole flock. p
Often picking in a hen flock can be
as with chicks, by feeding
a moist mash once a day made up
of 2-3 alfalfa meal and 1-3 laying
mash.
Unless hens are kept busy they 4
are likely to start some vice such
as cannibalism. Provide plenty of
hopper space so that mash is kept
before the hens at all times. Feeding
green and succulent feeds, moist
mash, etc, in small quantities as
often as three or four times daily is
one more means of keeping them
busy. In some cases it may be ad-
gisable to allow the hens outdoors
n order to stop trouble such as

MOTOR INDUSTRY
IS HELD STABLE
Leaders View Future With
Confidence-PIan for In
creased Business.

Far-sighted and clear thinking auto
mobile leaders have come to the very
definite conclusion that the year 1880
must bring realization of the fact that
the motor industry, in addition to being
the largest of Industries, Is likewise one
of the most stable, according to @. M.
Williams, president of Marmon Motor
Car Co.
So essential and vital has the auto
mobile become in the commonplace ex-
istence of every one that it is altogether
contrary to reason or logic to view the
future of the industry with anything
but sincere faith and confidence.
This year. to my way of thinking, will
mark the steady progress of those COM
panies which lay aside the almost in
herent desire for record-breaking and
which choose the sound and business
like path forward The regulation of
production to demand is the secret of
the success of any branch CT industry
and such policy readily can become the
foundation of the automobile industry

buy q motor car unless he knows that

more appearance, more comfort, more
performance than others, and that is
where the price factor enters into the
picture today, tomorrow or 10 years
hence.
There always will be a market for
cars in all price claSSifications. Ger
tainly, the manufacturers with line of
cars covering all markets has the adj
vantage, not only from his own stand

his dealers and his owners. The dealer

OWNERS ARE MISTAKEN
IN MOTOR IDLING TEST
New Engine Should Be Too Stiff
to Run Well at Very
Low Speed.

One Of the mysteries of the motor
world Is why so many owners think
their engines are not up to SNUFF If they
won't idle smoothly. Regardless of how
perfectly the engine may operate at
normal speeds, any unevenneSS In idlinR
Is certain to be cause for complaint.
1t may help some of these motorists
to know that the better an engine Is,
when new, the poorer its idling is apt
to be. A new engine should be stiff,
and when that is the case the owner
should not expect it to rock" on COM
preston when stopped or to idle we'll.
Many complaints about poor idling
are the result of setting the screw that
regulates idling for too small an OPEN
ing of the throttle. AS q general rule,
higher speed engines should not idle so
slowly.
Idling often is an unfair test since It
usually is conducted either when the
engine has just started, and is too cold
or after it has been running, and is toe
warm.

Five years ago the first attempts to In

buses Of modern construction, most Of
them built In the United States. A 10
year expansion program foresees 200
buses In operation by 1910. In all Of
Poland, including Warsaw, there are
now in operation more than 5000
buses, maintaining regular schedules
for a daily average of about 10000
persons, according to figures of the
