Tells How To Feed Poultry For
Profit

Strange though it may seem, a
hen laying $50 eggs year Is worth
three times as much as hen whose
yearly production is 80 eggs. Sim
pie arithmetic proves it says Prof.
A. c.. Smith, chief in poultry hus-
bandry, University Farm, st. Paul.
At present prices for feed and
eggs, he points out, it takes about
60 eggs q year to feed a hen re-
gardless Of her egg output. If it
costs so eggs to feed a bird. one
that lays 80 eggs will return only
80 eggs profit, while the 150-egg
hen will return 80 eggs profit. or
three times as much.
OF course, the best of hens will
be poor layers, unless properly fed.
Therefore, poultry keepers should
be interested in Professor Smiths
revised circular, Feeding Poultry
For Profit, just published by the
Agricultural Extension Division.
This circular discusses very simply
and briefly the different kinds of
feed required for poultry methods
for feeding them, suggestions and
formulas for laying mashes and
other "brass tack" information for
poultry keepers. Anyone desiring a
copy may have it by asking his
county extension agent, or writing
the Mailing Room, University
Farm, st. Paul, for Circular 20.

ROOSEVELTS TERM

It would be a safe bet that Franklin D..
Roosevelt will not serve four years as presi-
dent on the strength of his election on No
vember 8. And there is no "catch" in this
statement
By the terms of the "lame duck" amend
ment to the Constitution, which will certain
ly be ratified by the required number of
states, the administration of Mr.. Roosevelt
will end January 20, 1887, instead of March
4, as has been the custom in the past.
Thereby he will have the distinction of
serving shorter entire term than any other
president, past or future Beginning Janu-
ary 20, 1887, presidents will again serve four
full years.
Members of Congress will lose even more
days at the expiration. of their current terms,
as the new amendment provides that in fu-
ture new Congress shall take office on jan
uary 3, instead of March 4. Thus future
Congresses will meet II days before the~new
president is inaugurated.
There is no doubt that the change pro-
vided by the new amendment is desirable.
Heretofore members of Congress ordinarily
waited about Is months after election before
assuming their duties. In the meantime
many who had been defeated continued to
serve, these being called the lame ducks
Hereafter members elected in November will
take office in January, and no member will
continue to serve after his defeat at the polls
The new amendment has been ratified al
ready by the legislatures of II states, these
representing all that have been in session
since it was submitted. Practically all the re-
naming legislatures will meet in January,
1888, and prompt ratification by the addition
al 19 required is confidently expected. In
fact, it is doubtful that any state legislature
will reject this sensible amendment.

THE COUNTY AGENT
Clothing Project Lessons

The third lesson of the Clothing
I project carried on by Stearns
county women entitled 1.-The MAX
ing over Of Clothing on hand" will
be given on December z, 8, and 8.
This lesson will be an open lesson
at which all women enrolled in the
project and all others interested
in the work are to be invited. Ewes
Whitfield, Clothing specialist at
University Farm who gave the first
and second lesson to the leaders Of
groups only will give lesson III to
all the members and others next
week. The schedule of these meet
ings is as follows:

members enrolled and their friends
are invited. At the other four les
sons the study material is gone
over by Miss Whitfield and two
leaders from each of seven groups
at each of the three local leader
training classes. These training
classes began in October and three
are scheduled each month for a
period of five months, they are
held at Sauk Centre, Richmond
and st. Cloud. In order to carry the
work to sections of the county in
which no groups are enrolled the
meeting at Belgrade was arranged.
It is possible that fifth meeting
may be arranged yet that is open
to all women in some other town in
the county in order that still more
women may have an opportunity
to come in contact with the work.
There are 81 groups of women
enrolled in the Clothing project
and there are nearly 200 women
enrolled. This project is part Of the
county extension program made
possible thru county agent work
and the Stearns county Farm
Bureau.

Interest Revived In Butchering On
Farm

Lack of cash with which to buy
meat has greatly revived interest
among Minnesota farmers in the
whole subject of farm butchering
and the keeping and uses of meat.
Along with this revival has come a
widespread demand for informa-
tion. Consequently, project has
been set up by the State Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Univer-
sity Farm, to assist county agents
and home demonstration agents in
about 60 counties to put on local
educational drives this fall and
winter.
This work will be carried direct.
ly to every community in the par
ticipating counties. Included in the
campaign will be a series of meat
cutting and curing demonstrations,
community meetings, meat can
ming demonstration. publicity, dis
tribution of bulletins and otner IN
formational material, and in some
counties, farm and home meat
shows.
Meat specialists, representing the
State Extension Service, will spend
a day or two in each county con-
Quoting public meat cutting and
curing demonstrations and coach
ing local farmers who later will
give demonstrations in their own
neighborhoods. The State Exten-
sion Division is also issuing infor-
native folders on such subjects as:
Cutting the Beef Carcass, Home
Cutting Of Pork, Meat Canning in
the Home, and Cutting Pork and
Lamb for Home Use.
During the period of high farm
prices, hundreds of farm families
discontinued farm butchering and
especially the curing and storing of
meat for summer use. Many new
and improved methods of butcher
ing and handling meat on the
farm, therefore have gone largely
unnoticed. Now the Extension Di-
vision will bring these easier, more
satisfactory methods to the people
who need them. Work has already
begun in some counties.

WHY CAN'T THEY PAY?

1t is just bit difficult for the ordinary
man-who isn't an economist, or psycholo-
gist, or diplomat, or fool-to understand the
logic of all this poor-mouth our oversee
debtors are putting up over war debts.
Here are some figures, vouched for by
indisputable authorities, which even an econ
omist ought to be able to understand:
Great Britain says she can't pay the
United States 159 million year on her debt,
yet she can spend 461 million year for mil
itary purposes in time of peace.
Frances case is far more ridiculous. She
says she can't pay us so million, yet she is
spending SAL million on her military estab-
lshment-more than 10 times as much for
arms as it would take to pay her debt to us.
Then there is Italy, which was given an
absurdly easy debt settlement, spending 331
million for arms but unable to pay us less
than Is million Poland and Belgium show
a similar situation.
The United States has already given
these nations very lenient terms and low in
terest rates in connection with their war
debts, with 60 years in which to pay. We
have even intimated that we might further
reduce these debts if these nations would
make an honest effort to reduce their arma-
ments. This they are too stubborn to do.
Combined European debtor nations are
due to pay the United States about lat mil
lion year. Combined they are spending
2,25O million year for war preparations.
Why can't they cut their military expendi-
lures one-ninth and thereby save enough to
pay these honest debts?

and the remedy from them is in
the hands of the same bodies that
caused them. For years the Amer
lean Farm Bureau has stood for
the complete independence of the
PHILIPPINES. When this is accom-
plished Mr.. Oson stated American
dairymen and sugar producers will
no longer be penalized by a river
of vegetable oil, and thousands Of
tons of foreign sugar coming to
this country practically duty free
and produced under living stan
dards far lower than our own.
Since 1920 American people have
been living under a system Of
managed money. In France the
value of the franc has been reduc-
ed and commodity prices have
gone up accordingly. Wheat in
France brings the French farmer
four times the American price and
still the price of the baked loaf is
lower, Mr.. Olson stated. In America
the contrary is true. A small group
of powerful eastern bankers are in
terested in maintaining the expen-
sive dollar we have with the result
that commodity prices have gone to
levels lower than any recorded for
200 years in some cases. The feder-
al reserve bank was formerly a
governmental body but now is en-
tirely in control of the member
banks with the result that Uncle
Sam has sold Section of the Con-
stitution to this group. Land mort
cages and other debts can not be
paid with commodity prices de
pressed as they are. Mr.. Olson urg-

What Stearns county farmers
want most right now is to know
more about the killing, cutting and
curing of meat. At least it seems
that way to county Agent LEM
meier, who has found the keenest
interest among scores of individ-
! uals with whom he has discussed
this subject. Accordingly, he an
nounces a program of meetings,
demonstrations, and publicity that
will enable every farm family in
the county to learn the up-to-date
ways in farm butchering and in
the preserving and use of pork,
beef and mutton.
This program was adopted after
conferences with community lead
ers and survey of present prac-
tices in the county, which indicates
that more information would en-
able many farm families to do the
work much more easily, have a
better quality of product, and
avoid losses from spelling and inn
proper curing. Likewise, there is
opportunity for learning better ways
of cooking and utilizing meats Of
all kinds.
Cooperating in the project will
be the State Agricultural Extension
Service which will provide a spec
ialist to conduct one or more Of
these meat cutting demonstrations
in the county. At these demonstra-
tions local farmers who are handy
at butchering will be coached TO
conduct similar demonstrations in
their own neighborhoods. These de-
monstrations will show the proper
methods of cutting up home BUTCH
cred animals into cuts appropriate
for use on the farm, and will sug-
gest the correct uses for the diff.
erent parts Of the carcass. In
formation will be given as to the
selection and care Of animals for
slaughtering, methods Of killing,
and ways Of utilizing and curing.
canning or preserving meats.
Community meeting to present
information on all phases of home
butchering, meat cutting, curing,
canning and utilization, viii be
conducted through out the county.
Certain phases of this subject will.
also be presented at other meeting
during the winter months.
In addition, County Agent Lenz-
meier will have a supply of bull
letins and other printed informa-
ton from the MINI. Agricultural
Colleges and the U. s. Department
of Agriculture, giving suggestions
on partically every phase of the
farm meat problem. Plans are like
wise being considered for farm
and home meat show to be held at
some central point in the county.
There is still room on tine sched-
ule of demonstrations to heve one
or more demonstrations in some
communities. Amy one interested in
securing one should communicate
with the County Agents Offics.
