It requires not only brains, but an overplus of energy. Chickens never wash, as many other birds do but cleanse themselves of In sects by wallowing In soil. For this renson every poultry house should be provided with a dust box. TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY LENDS ICO DOLLARS Earns Money After School end Invests It With Uncle Sam VcU I don't know where we're going but we're surely on the way" POULTRTNOUC It Is an easy matter to overfeed fowls. Bear this In mind unless the fowls are on range. Hens that are laying are not likely to accumulate fat ; It is when they are not laying that they do so. Give the fowls good dust and plenty Of It. This Is how they keep them- selves free of vermin and welL Hens of light breeds may be profit ably kept for three seasons ; those of the heavy breeds for two seasons. Good layers are bred up and not fed up. All the feeding In the world can not Induce a naturally nonproductive hen to change her nature. A trap nest Is the one accurate way to tell whether you are keeping a pay ing flock, but the poultryman who keeps It must look after the nest in a wnncr wily. Sell all hens two years old or over. Clean houses often, once or twice weekly. Daily is better. Begin now. The chicken crop Is n Important one and Its profit fa often dependent upon early hatching. On nearly every farm In the country more ducks could be raised profitably and without much Inconvenience. Chinese geese are lu every way practical, but are not as large as the Toulouse, Embdens or Africans. Late hatched pullets are usually the ones that become infested with roup in the fall, thereby endangering the rest of the flock. Millions of late hatched chicks die each year as the result of being In fested with lice which are so preva lent in the summer. With young chicks wet feeds cause Increased labor and bigger loss by di gestive disorders. Grit, oyster shell, charcoal and clean water should al ways bo provided. San Francisco While we are "gab bing" pro and con these days about America's contribution to the war and I victory, like a fresh spring breeze ( somes a letter from a twelve-year-old j Sacramento boy exemplifying the war's ! contribution to America. It was ad dressed to the Director of the War Loan Organization of the Twelfth Fed sral Reserve District, and reads: "Dear Sir: I have bought $0" worth Of War Savings Stamps and am trying to get $100 worth before the year is aut. "I am twelve years old and have earned every dollar of It working for j my neighbors, cutting lawns, imgat I Ing, and running errands. The savings director here said for me to write to you and you voaia uanii me a band grenade bank if I have earned two War Savings Stamps during my vaca tion. I have earned six already and expect to get at least two more before school starts. Hoping I am deserving of one, 1 remain, "Very truly yours, "WILLIAM BADEIt, "2019 F Street, "Sacramento, Calif." C. A. Farnsworth, associate director 1 of the War Loan Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, re plied: "My Dear William: When I read your letter telling me how hard you worked to earn that $65 you have, In vested In War Savings Stamps and that you expect to increase it to $100 before the end of the year, it made me think of a picture that Ralph Yardley, an artist, drew one day during the Vic tory Liberty Loan. It was a picture of Uncle Sam shaking hands with a work man who had Just bought a Liberty Bond and Uncle Sam was saying, as he looked the workman squarely in the eye, 'You are my kind of an Ameri can.' Your letter made me think of that picture because you are my kind of an American. After this when I think of that picture I will see you In stead of the workman shaking hands with Uncle Sam.
