Next to that In Importance is eariy hn-hinir. In order that uullets may be sufficiently mature to become good fall and winter layers, the cMcks must be out of the nest as early as possible. For at least two weeks after the chicks are hatched mother hens should be confined to brood coops to prevent fatality to the brood from ex posure to wet and other dangers. From the time the chicks are old enoiuth to be Immune from the dan gers of wet grass and the like free range Is of first Importance for botn growing stock and layers. Free range, In the first place, stimuiaiw growth. It also stimulates gg pro duction, and It reduces very raateri-' allv the ouantky of dry ieea neces sary to keep the flock In condition. Another matter of prime Impor tance Is the production of Infertile eggs. As soon as the breeding season is over every poultry keeper, Whether general farmer, specialist or city dweller, should see that the hens are kept separate from the cocks. If this nractice is followed it "will result in the saving of million of eggs that would otherwise become" spoiled, ei ther In the hands of the producer or before reaching the consumer. - When the chicks have reached a Marketable age care Should be exer- nluixT. tn riitmnaa nmmnflv of all BUr- - f - ' ' fcv . plpsicoekerels in order to ' conserve feed.

Toasted Potatoes Regarded Good Substitute tor Bread Skins Add to the Flavor The United States this year, It ap pears, will have to ieea pracncaiiy all of Europe. Every suggestion for ponservaf Ion of food and variation In preparation Is welcome and an arti cle in Good Housekeeping has special -value In this connection. To quote : "It is plainly a patriotic duty to use potatoes as a bread substitute. The nearest approach to conventional meth ods of cooking potatoes for a bread substitute Isr of "course,-a perfectly baked potato, but a perfectly baked potato is rare as a day In June. ; "Even a perfectly baked potato served at the psychological moment does not give that subtle sense of bread function that the piece of bread or toast, held In hand affords. !; "Prpnnre eood-slzed DOtatoes as if to hnkp. heine more scrunulously care ful than usual to scrub and cleanse the skin carefully and remove all bad spots. Cut the perfectly cleansed po tato lengthwise into Slices one-iounn of an inch thick. Put the slices loose ly into a wire basket or steamer and steam until they are properly 'tem pered that is, until they are In part but not completely cooked. II tney are eomoletelv cooked by the steam, they are of no particular value as a bread substitute. ;. As a rule, about ten min utes ateamlng is adequate. After this initial steaming," dry the slices well between clean towels and toast as you would slices of bread, or put them In a. wire basket or perforated pan and bake -In a very hot oven until the slices are delicately browned on both sides. Sprinkle lightly with -salt. Serve as you would toast. The skins can be re moved before serving or while eat ing, but If one is a connoisseur, a real disciple of Epicurus, with as much love of flavor and conservation as a boy or animal, he will eat the toasted slices skin and all."
