What sort of animal was the! d;do, now extinct? County Agent Notes | Now would be a g od time to go ■ through all the pullets and put special colored spinalet legband-s on those wlil h are well bleached and show other evidence of continued good pivduction to date. Then n?xt i I'all when you are selecting your breeding pen, you will know which ; bird's measured up as winter layers. The nure we learn aliout continuous winter produetkni (without pauses) the more it seems dependent on heredity, rather than loss of 1 flesh, changes in management and other details whiel* have commouly been blamed. Recently at the Purdue Agricultural Experiment »tatren two males were u-sed from families intensely bred for "non-win-ter-panse”. About 70 percent of their daughters showed no pitt-se. while nly about 35 per cent of the daughters of other males kill witho ,- t attsp. And daughters of both groups had the same management factors to -.ontend with. To complete this bonding program, a different colored band (say blick) could be put on each broody bird, aad thus keep a record of the number of broody spells. T'en if pullets ore removed as they go out of priMlucti'94l in the summer, a particularly fine breeding pen can be made up from the remaining birds which wear uou-pause and have no brood bands —a pen well worth mating to a high grade pedigreed male for the production of your own mules and a few to sell to neighbors. That pedigreed male can Jie bought to best advantage this coming spring. From an R. O. P. or other established breeder secure about five vbicks or seven hatchings for each cockerel wanted. M.irk the chicks carefully and raise them right along with your regular flock. And 'speaking of chick raising, have you checked over your brooding etaiemeat. made aecessanr replacearcnts. and retains and scrubbed it in preparaUsu for ihe brooding season? Have you moved the house to a fresh spot on ground on • which no poultry manure have been for at letst two years? You’ll .probably have more time now for those jobs than yea will when the sea son is just a few week>s ahead. In saving eggs for your own hicks, remember t. at a bird lays chi-ke,s remember that a bird lay s eggs of much the same size, shipe and color as the egg from which she

S^ J V- v Dr. Eduard Benet Since Dr. Eduard Bents, foreign minister of Czcchoslovkia, recently declared in the League of Nations assembly in Geneva that the Little Entente group of nations “is ready to go to war to prevent treaty revision”, political observers have been comparing him in talent to the late Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, who was assassi* nated several months ago. For more than 15 years Dr Benes, who helped found the Czechoslovakian republic, has served as his country's sole guide in foreign affairs. He has done a good job, it is said.
