To be most productive, the
backyard flock requires consld-
cradle attention and care, but
these duties need not be labor
ious. Regularity in performing
the daily tasks is advisable. and
one person in the family should
be in charge of the flock. 9th
ers may help, Of course.
In recent years the feeding of
poultry has been simpllfied by
the use of commercial feed mix
lures that contain all necessary
ingredients. including minerals
and vitamins. Young birds re-
uuire a growing ration and ma
ture pullets and hens laying
ration. Modern practise is TO
give the feed dry, in hoppers.
Throwing grain into the litter
on the floor is insanitary and
otherwise an outmoded method
of feeding.
CLEAN WATER ESSENTIAL
Table scraps, dry bread, and
other household foods, if whole
some, may be given in troughs
provided for the purpose. But
do not give the flock moldy or
other spoiled food. Also, any ia
BILE scraps not eaten within a
reasonable time should be re-
moved before they spoil. Spoil
ed feed invites digestive trou-
bles and may cause death.
A constant supply of clean
water is essential TO the we'll
being and productivity Of the
flock. An egg consists of about
three-fourths water. Placing the
water container on a box or low
platform where it is easily &C
cessible to the flock but raised
from the floor helps to keep the
water clean.
Other details of care include
attention to conditions that i'm
prove the comfort OF the birds.
Ventilation of the house is nee
essary to keep the floor, litter,
and walls dry. Houses that are
closed up tightly get wet from
the condensation of moisture
given off by the flock. Birds

DARK DAYS AHEAD FOR
 MINOR B. B.

PHOENIX, Ariz.-A gloomy 1ut- ure is forecast for minor league baseball by Bill Delaney who has spent the last few seasons manag- ing teams in the lesser loops aIter illness ended his career as catcher with the St. Louis Cardinals.
 First of all it takes money 10 run a minor league club, the man who caught Dizzy Dean declares. Big league front offices won't be interested in financing farm teams if there aren't any young players to be developed in return TOT the investment. And most of the young players are going into the armed services.
 And even if a Class c or D or ganization can raise money ana gather together two or three pitch- CTS and eight other players with two arms and two legs each, trans portation problems must still be faced.
 Moving a ball club from one town to another and from hotel to a ball park takes more than the wish ful thinking of an ambitious man. ager, Delaney sadly remembers.
 Last year he was plotting the Cards Asheville, N. C., farm team in the Piedmont league.
 At Richmond" Delaney said, the ball park is some distance from town and 20 blocks from the nearest trolley line We finished a game about II 30 one night when it was raining pitchforks and there were no taxis around. We hoofed it 20 blocks in our uniforms and spik- ed shoes, then rode the street cars to our hotel"
 On top of that, Delaney re- called, "only about l50 people were in the ball park
 You get the idea when Delaney says his Arizona chicken farm looks like pretty good place to be-fol the duration.

 DIM0UT RULES

1 Lieut. Col. Hobart Murphy, Pro- vost Marshal for the Alaska De- fense Command on the staff of Mai Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Jr spoke this noon at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, meeting, answering questions regarding the dimout regulations which will go into effect on February l.
 He explained that the purpose of the regulations is not to interfere in any way with the business life of Alaskan communities or to clamp down on any necessary lighting The aim is to do away with all unnecessary lighting, following the policy established in the States for practically all of the. coastline.r
 Lights which are necessary to maintain and safeguard the In- dustrial activities of community will not be shut off. For instance, he explained, in answering a ques- ton. longshoremen working in un- loading boat will have just as much light as ever. But the fancy neon blazes and other pleasant but unnecessary lighting will be dim- med. Street lights in Juneau will have to be worked over so no light is pointed toward the sky, he said.
 Here are a few 'don'tS" con- tained in pamphlet which will soon be distributed to all Juneau householders and property owners:
 1. Don't forget to draw your win- dow blinds down to the level of the lowest light within the room at night. Venetian blinds should have their vanes pointed downward to the outside.
 9. Don't forget to shield your porch, garage and other outside lights. All light must shine down. ward.

 4. Don't forget, all outdoor light ed signs are barred. Interior signs must be shielded level with the bottom light bulb or neon or flor escent tube.
 5. Don't forget that skylights must be covered. No lights must shine upward.

 T. Don't forget that Proclama- ton No. affects all lights within the Military lighting Zone If you have no Proclamation No. 6, get one now from your Air-Raid War den or Defense Council.
