Poultry Pointers
For January

In this time of comparatively low
prices for poultry meat and eggs
nearly every day some farmer tells
us that there isn't anything to be
made with chickens. The men who
tell US that, however, are not those
who are getting 40 to go per cent
production from their hens, as a
few owners are doing.
A survey of the poultry manage
ment of farm focks shows that the
majority are not properly housed. A
comparatively small per cent of the
fiocks are we'll fed and where the
owners are feeding much of the
feed is wasted because of poor
equipment. Fewer still have an ade-
quate supply of fresh clean water
and next to air that is the least ex-
pensive essential to maintain life.
Because of poor housing or insuffi-
cient floor space in the houses the
birds are given free range which
means they spend much of the day
bumped up in sheltered spots and
away from feed and water. Many
of the fiocks are badly infested with
lice.
The bad things named above surely
do not apply to many who receive
these monthly pointers but do to
some of their neighbors. 1t might
be good thing for the better in
formed to talk chickens little more
during the next twelve months. Tell
your neighbors that flock of hens
gives some income every week and
a profit over all costs if properly
managed. During January atten-
tion should be given the following:
l. Provide clean, fresh, warm wat
er several times daily. Laying hens
must drink lots of water and won't
drink enough if it is ice cold.
2. Give the hens an opportunity
to eat as much grain and mash as
they can. They must have grain to
maintain body temperature and mash
to make eggs.
8. Confine the hens until noon.
They will eat more feed and pro-
duce more and cleaner eggs. If the
house isn't large enough for the
flock, Gull the birds to fit the house
or remodel and enlarge the house.
Crowding doesn't pay.
a. Treat the birds for lice. Nico-
tine sulphate or sodium fiuoride does
the work. Lice multiply the year
around. You might be surprised to
find that your birds have lice. Look.
5. Gather the eggs often in freez-
ing weather and store them in a
cool room.
6. Do you know whether your flock
is showing profit or is being kept
at a loss? Keep records. Your
guess may not be right.
z. The information you may need
to be able to make poultry keeping
more profitable is contained in free
circulars which you can obtain from
your county agent.
s. Resolve to do a more efficient
job than you ever did before. Work,
not neglect, is necessary if profits
are made.

YOU SHOULD GO
FISHING
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church
Ridgely, Md.

Everybody who is up against a
tough proposition should take time
out and go fishing.
One may not be able to hire a
power yacht and cruise out to deep
water in order to go fishing, nor is
it necessary. To go fishing, you
need only to dig up a few worms
and with a hook and line stroll out
to that little stream that flows
back there in the woods.
There are other values to be de-
rived from fishing besides fish
even if you are not lucky enough
to get fish.
In the first place fishing gives
you a change of scene.
A man can face any problem
better if he gets further away
from it geographically. Somehow
he can view it better from a dis
tance, especially if he is out upon
water

Well, meat shortcake is all Of
that. It's a welcome change, too,
from the usual ways of serving
meat. Men, in particular, enjoy il
just as they enjoy anything in the
pie or cake line.
Here are two especially good
shortcakes. For one, ground beef is
used and for the other, ham.

Split the baked shortcake, butter

slices about 8 inches square anC
ser re a hot sauce over the top.

Smyrna times., 1940-05-16

Another value to be obtained
from fishing is the quietness and
the silence that attends it.
Sitting in the stern of a boat
that is anchored out in midstream
with a fishline running out over
the tip of ones finger, gives you
the quiet and undesturbed oppor-
tunity to think thing through

reaches to the distant rim of the

Come and Vote

It is the duty and privilege of
every person to exercise his rights
by voting.
Every citizen of Clayton and
surrounding country is urged to
come to Clayton School on Satur-
day, May 25, 1910 between the
hours of one and eight o'clock p.
IN. to vote for new gymnasium
auditorium with a cafeteria base
ment for the school.
Such an addition to the school
would be very useful, both to the
school and to the community.
For years the school has been at
a great disadvantage. With a
gym the children would not be
standing or running in the hall and
rooms on days that it was too cold
to go out. With the auditorium
the seats would not have to be
moved out Of the seventh and
eighth grade rooms when an en-
tertainment was to be put on.
Clayton has never had a very sue
cessful basketball team because
they had to practice on an outdoor
court, and often it was too cold to
practice.
Always before the organizations
OF the community have had to have
their entertainments or suppers in
the fire house. If the gymnasium
auditorium is obtained, all of these
things can be held there, where
they will have more room and
everything will be more conven-
lent.
1t is hoped that you now realize
the Importance of such a project,
and that you will come and vote
for it.
