Re cently 1,000 of these blanks wen gent to a selected list of hunters In ell couJiiUda fit Watihlugtou state. The Information which will be ob tained from the replies, together with that supplied by the field rep resentatives of the bureau, will give reliable Information on the game- bird and animal population of that state. The bureau haa already Is sued reports recrardUng mammals and birds, Including the game spe clos of Wyoming, New Mexico, and Colorado. Information for reports Is now being collected for the states of Montana, Arizona, Wisconsin and Washington. ... Why Not Have a "Mutton Momliiy"? The average housewife would be surprised to learn that In a year she buys for every person in the house hold only about 5 pounds of mutton or lamb, as compared with a1out 71 pounds of pork and 67 pounds of beef. If all American families used sheep meat one day a week in the average daily amount of other meats that would meai more than 20 pounds of mutton and lamb annually per capita, or four times its present consumption. More than that, the head of the family, who pays the bills, would no doubt encourage purchasing mutton and lamb in larger cuts, instead o' merely a few chops at a time, If he were made to realize the greater economy and the greater encourage ment to production. In that connec tion a shoulder of mutton or a leg of lamb, telng smaller than the av erage beef joint, should appeal espe cially to small families. Plenty of IVofit from Good Fowls The story. of Reuben Lowe, of .North Shaplelgh, Me,, illustrates the possible profits from poultry keep ing where careful management is practiced. During 1918 this poul tryman, who devotes only & part of his time to chicken raising, kept '250 birds, which paid him a profit over feed and cost of more than $1,- 000, equivalent to $4 a bird. Includ ed in this amount are the sales of a few eggs for hatching. a.bout 30 cockerels sold for breeding purpos es at 13.50 to $5 each, ns well as the market eggs, which were dispos ed of n large quantity. Mr. Lowe keeps White Wyandottes of a strain that wins in the show, ring when Judged according to either the Stan dard of Perfection or a utility stan dard. One pen of 20 pullets owned by this Maine poultry raiser produced eggs as follows: November, 1918, 413; December, 1918, 418; Janu ary, 1919, 380; February, 1919, 326; March, 1919, 456; a total of 1,993 eggaj leveraging 99.65 eggs; per bird in five months. It pays to keep poultry of this. kind, and growers everywhere are coming to realize that there is more money in keeping better fowl and feeding them properly balanced ra tions rather than in wasting time with inferior birds. Iowa Garden Clubs Increase Garden club leaders in Iowa have found since the war ended that in terest in gardens has increased rath er than diminished. There are more garden club members in the state this year than last. The city of Des Moines alone has 1,000 more mem bers.thls year than a year ago. That additional interest Is being taken in gardening thr.uout the state Is shown by tine fact that 90 per cent of the garden-club leaders are being paid this year, as against 50 per cent paid last year. .
