Hie Farm and the Fanner By William R. Sanborn

EQQ3 OR FEATHERS A well-known pcmltryman, and one "who Is considered an authority at "Washington, say that hens that lay in the fall and in the winter "are really producing an oat of season crop tf eggs, for it is normal for the hen to lay for a time in the spring and early immner and then, rest for the balance of the year. Profitable hens re really those "who bare the capacity to force their egg-making machinery." The writer goes on to twy Uiat late moulters are test layers; He says that "the cream of the flock is made Up of hens thai do not change their feathers until October or November. Their mounting will require only a few weeks and they will probably bo lay ing again by the first of January. For this reason the pot itrylteeper who has an eye for busin.tts will not neglect the wornout looking late layer; for she la his beet profit maker; Birds that devote too much time early in the sea' on to ma ring feathers demand too Song a vacation rest, while the hen that wean her oil suit till late is the best of the Cock." To get eggs yon must feed wettbalJtoced rations, designed for the partioular class and sometimes for the par ticular breed. In doing this you furslab Just the kind, quality and amount or feed to produce the highest and moat economical egg yields. The omrwmt of feed needed to produce a clozen cess varies with the kind of tolr&s. According to experiments conducted by the United States department of agriculture eneal-uurpose pullets produced a dozen eggs from 6.7 mounds of feed, and Leghorn pullets laid the same number from L8 pounds. Poultrymen resort to every possible toeans to get their hens to eat a great Cdsai of feed, especially la the winter "when the days are short. One way is to cot the morning scratch feed to sioout half, The hungry bird then goes to the mash trough and gorges on the Slry mash. Then to increase the con sumption of mash some of it Is fed wet rat noon and the hens will eat U when they would take no more of it dry Fights For the Aaerrh W. 0. Saunters, editor of The Inde pendent at Elizabeth City. N. c writes cv vitriolic editorial against the action of his county commissioners "in abolishing the office of home demonstrator, an office which has been acceptably tilled by Miss Marcia Albertson for the tast six years. To sare a miserable Item of 1 50 a month and to satisfy Chairman B's dislike for Miss AlbertBon, your commissioners have abolish ed an office that was at the time helping nearly 300 girls In this county to snake farm homes more comfortable and profitable" Editor Saunders doesn't mince matters. He hangs the hides of the county board on the fence to dry. It is because of his plain and fearless speaking that hlfl little dally Is known from coast to coast, and that he has been able to do so much for ' the upbuilding of his community. We cite the above as showing that extension workers and home demonstrator agents are finding favor in North Carolina, where much progressive work is being done among the farmers. - - Four farm girls from Iowa and Colorado won a three months' trip to Europe in the presence of hundreds of Spectators at the Chicago International last Friday. Miss Buelah Rodgers and K&thryn Bolibaugh, the Iowa team, won first honors in the canning con test and Miss Elaine Hendrick and Bertha Broger, the Colorado . team, took second prize. The Oonnecflcnt g team came third and were chosen alternates. ' At the expense of the American committee for devastated Frances, the winning teams will go to Europe to demonstrate to the French people of the war tone American methods of, canning fruits and vegetables. The girls will also hav the opportunity of learning the most modern French methods of doing this work. " 8aved Oklahoma Joe. Oklahoma Joe, grand champion bar row at the International, is not to meet the fate of the usual run of prize-win (king meat animals, at least not for some time. Joe was auctioned and the two red hog associations went fiftyfifty and took him off the market at 36 cents a pound. The Duroc-Jersey men are to exhibit Oklahoma Joe, which is now the joint property of the two leading red hog associations of the country.. These are the National Duroc-Jersey Record association, Peoria, and the American Duroo-Jsrisy Breeders' association. The farmers of Kossuth county, Iowa, are growing sc enthusiastic over soy bean culture that they increased the acreage of that legume over 400 percent this year. They say they have raised enough seed to almost supply the county in the coming year. This reminds us that Piatt county. Illinois, farmers have organized a company to build a cooperative soy bean crushing plant at Monticello. The plant is being equipped to handle the soy bean output of that part of tip state, now estimated at around 100,000 bushels. A Calf Story. , A Swif ton, Mo. fanner relates how pTlTe came to get as much as $5.29 for a ' food veal calf weighing 180 pounds at the loading station. He says the calf was in prime condition when it left the farm but in traveling to St. Louis, 270 miles, it shrank 22 pounds, and according to the returns mailed him weighted but 138 pounds when told. The calf brought seven cents a pound, or $?.66, which the freight charges reduced by M-37, leaving the farmer a net return Of but 55.29. There is nothfng in raising calves at that price. According to Wallaces ' Farmer Iowa's grain and live stock freight bill Tor 1922 will be $30,000,000, or say ibout $150 per farm. Freight rates from Central Iowa are 50 percent above pre-war but present selling prices on Iowa farms average only 10 to 20 percent above pre-war figures.

Liberie, the negro repuhie on the coast of Africa, $5,000,000. He says, according to Arthur Brisbane, "that the loan is highly important from the standpoint of protection and promotion of America's commercial interests on the west coast of Africa." To this Mr. Brisbane replies: "Doubtless. Therefore let those 'American commercial interests' maks the loan. If there is any good reason for taxing a farmer in Kansas to oblige bankers in Wall street that are specuus in dohqs or tne uoerian republic? That's what it eom tn - This may or may not be exactly true, iAxiDuees, secretary Hughes is & DNnjI tmrmrrh BtnfAam.it t why he is recommending this loan, The Liberian republic was founded largely by blacks from this country wijw emmigiatea mere ana set up the government, hoping to greatly benefit lumu- race, Co-fmeratora iTftTrt Uinih What may prove to be the largest cooperative wheat sales agency in the wona, was piannea at a meeting in Minneapolis last week.
