CHAPLAIN'S CHAPEL

The church affairs at and abou
Chaplin's Chapel are of much inter
est to the people generally; but the
M. E. Church under the pastorate o.

OF course the church was hand
somely decorated with flowers by
Misses Anna and Mary Smith and
Mrs. George Short. The music was
by the young peoples choir, and the
inspiring sermon by DR.. Green just
made well rounded program.
To those who once were residents
and attendants at Chaplin's Chapel
and came back for this occasion, the
congregation feel the kindest. as
well as those who were just visitors
for the day.
To those who brought jars of can
ned goods as donation for the Meth
Odist Hospital in Philadelphia, the
Chaplin's Chapel congregation eX-
tend thanks and assure all that the
glass jars will be replaced TO them.
The several classes reorganized
for the winter seasons work by
electing chairmen and officers:
Ladies class-Mrs. ElinOr Little

very fine program is 10 be given, in
which some special parts by local
people will be just a happy hour.
Especial attraction will be at the
Sunday school next Sunday to which
the public is invited.

HOUSING PULLETS
BY Paul G. Riley
Formerly Professor Poultry Exten-
sion Purdue University

Formerly Professor Poultry Exten-
| sion Purdue University
| Egg prices are already showing
! the normal improvement. Everyone
is interested in selling eggs at the
time OF, the year when they bring
good prices. In order to do this GER
tain things are necessary, if we are
to- share in. that most prosperous
time of the year for good poultry
men, which is the three. months of
October, November and December,
II eggs are to be produced during
those three months, it is necessary
that the pullets be housed immedi-
ately. All pullets that will make the
maximum profit for their owner will
be in their houses by October 1st.
There is one big reason why put
ting the pullets in the houses helps
greatly in getting these desired high
er priced eggs. That is because the
pullets eat more feed when confined
than they do when they are on
range. The greatest answer to this
is that the pullets and the feed are
kept together.
Houses where the pullets are to
be carried through the winter should
be thoroughly cleaned, walls, cell
ing brushed down, thoroughly dis
infected with any good spray, floors
either concrete or wood should be
scrubbed and disinfected, if dirt
floors are being used, the old dirt
should be removed to a depth of four
to six inches and clean dirt be put
in its place, all the feeders and wa
ter fountains should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected, and if pos
sible, aired for a few days in the di-
rect sunshine. Then the pullets are
ready to go in the houses.
They should be watched closely to
see whether there are any lice on
the birds while they are being han
died and the pullets should be con-
fined to the house for at least thirty
days after they are first put in. A
great many of our best poultrymen
are finding it profitable to keep the
birds housed during the fall and
winter months without ever letting
them out. Others prefer, after they
have been confined for thirty days to
start letting the birds out in the af-
ternoon.
Housing pullets brings them into
production much earlier in the year,
produces a higher egg production
than can be gotten with birds still
running on the range, and adds pos
sibly one-third in feed consumption.
No one can expect to make any
profit out of the production of eggs
during the period of high prices
without getting the pullets into the
houses during the month of Septem-
ber.
