A comfortable hen is the only kind of a hen that is profitable, says the Blue Valley C'reamerj Institute. With high prices for eg>js in view, one cannot afford not to keep the hen comfortable this winter by overlooking a f. w repairs and alterations around the hen house which need not be

costly.

One of the first things to consider in providing ideal living conditions in the hen house in winter is the matter of overcrowding. This i- a common mistake. From three to four puare feet of floor space for every bird is recommended. Plenty of fresh air is also an important requirement for making hens comfortable. A poorly ventilated house is foul, close and unhealthful. Good ventilation is needed to remove

FARM Bl'REA I' CAMP AIGN FDR 192H MFMHKRSHIPS The campaign for P.I2K Farm Bureau memberships is progressing satisfactorily. The county organization- ' lire selecting various riv periods and oiganizing each township unit for a complete cancuss. A few counties have completed their drives with success, hut a majority will make tlu h drives in December. Solisitor-' I raining School - arc* being conducted by the State offiees in the several Farm Bureau districts. Township memberhip committees are attending and a -plendid interest is being shown. Most county drives will follow these chools. At the school.- the vaiiou- departments of the Indiana Farm Bureau are explained. The reports of the departments are ptcially inductive to enlarging the membership for 1928, as the advantage of cooperative endeavor in selling an purchasing are very pronounced. It is well-known throughout the turul communities of tin Mid-We-t states that all authorities on farm relief legislation insist that n operation or organisation of the farm people is the first requisite. The Indiana I arm Bureau Federation ranks among the most successful in the country and is first in the amount of busine- transacted in Its farmer-owned cooperatives. The fourth annual report of the automobile insurance division, Indiana Farm Bureau, reveals that nearly 49,000 Indiana ears are protected in the State Farm Mutual Auto In-ur-ance Company. The business f< r 1928 shows an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. H. R. Nevins, director in charge, says; "The savings of farmers Irecause of thi- department is a very hard matter to estimate, but we believe that the policies in force for 1928 provide savings of a greater amount than the total membership dues paid by all the Farm Iluuau members of In liana in the last three years. However in our judgement, the savings should be of least con-ideration, as the servlet rendered to policy holden

is of fai greater value.

First Thanksgiving. Benjamin Franklin tells us that, In a lime of great despondency among Ihe first settlers of New Lnglaml, it was proposed in one of their public meetings to proclaim a fast. An aged farmer arose and spoke of their pro vnklng Heaven vith their compliments and of the many mercies they bad already received and of the many causes they had for thaaksciving. He then made a motion that in-tead of appointing a day of fasting, they should appoint a day of thanksgiving To this ihe assembly agreed. The first Thanksgiving day was kept amid circumstances most unpropitfimand with gaunt famine hovering over (he rude and cheerless dwellings of that litlle colony. The summer of 1021, following ihe landing at Plymouth, yielded hut a scanty harvest and unless speedy supplies came from Europe the sturdy Colonists foresaw that they would be reduced to the point of starvation. Yet, amid such surroundings ns these, we learn from the old chronicles thnl iHivernur itrnu ford, ‘‘ihe harvest being gotten In, sent four men out on fowling, so that we might, after a more special manner. rejoice together afier wo had gathered the fruits of our labors."
