The value of a small flock of lay
ing hens on a town or village lot or
In a city back yard should not be
underestimntpd. Kven as few as six
or eight hons 'should produce eggs
enough, where used economically,
for a family of four or five persona
throughout the entire year, except
daring the molting period of the fall
and early winter. The product of
men a flock, both in the form of
ggs and fowls for the table, may be
produced at a relatively low cost, be
cause of the possibility of utilizing
table scraps and kitchen waste which
would otherwise be thrown away.
So many records of back-yard
flocks have shown profit that there
can be no question but what back
yard poultry keeping Is profitable
under the proper conditions. The re
cord of a Bmall flock kept in Wash
ington during the past year throws
some light on what can be accom
plished under conditions that pre
vailed during that time. The flock
consisted of seven hens which were
bought December 18, 1917, for $5.80.
This flock was carried through the
ensuing year. Two were killed and
eaten; the other five were carried
the rest of the summer and continued
to ley until September 18, the day on
which the last egg wa.i produced.

teed, $7.01, making a total cost for
acquiring and maintaining the flock,
of $12.81. The returns from eggs
figured on the basis of 40c. a dozen,
which Is very conservative, amounted
to $28.50. The two hens eaten were
the largest t of the flock averaged at
least five poundB In weight. At 30c.
a pound the value of these heiu
.mounded, therefore, to 3. Thur..
the total Income from the flock was
$31. GO, while the total expenses
were $12.81, leaving a return over
cost of fowls and tost of feeding of
$18.69. This figure, however, does
not take Into account the value of
the five bens on hand. These would
average at least four pounds, in
weight, so that, at 30c. a pound, each
hen would be worth $1.20. This
would add to the credit balance $C,
and would therefore show a profit
on tho hons on September 18 of
$24. r.y. It will be noted that the
egg production for the nine months
Involved was very gooff, 13C eggs a
hen, and it. should bo stated in this
connection that the man of the house
is a butcher, and was frequently able
to bring home scraps of moat which
were fed to the hens, and which un
doubtedly contributed greatly to the
favorable egg production.
There was a time when we thought
we could get along without tho
telegraph, the telephone, the locomo
tive and the steamship; but that day
Is gone. And In Just that way these
county agents are rapidly becoming
a real rural necessity. Antiquated
methods on the farm might have
been sufficient In our grandfathers'
day. but Intensified agriculture Is
rapidly becoming the rule today.
And real live-wire workers of this
sort are the other established
agencies.
Almost every county has Its de
puty game warden, Its county school
superintendent. Its fruit inspector,
Its health officer, Its stock Inspector,
Its fish warden, etc. These have all
become permanent fixtures In our
social fabric and are taken as a
matter of course. They are all useful
indispensable offices, established for
years and doing a most excellent
work

And we need you so badly loday. I

Or must wii take lamb in their
stead?
And say If you please, may we have1
bread and cheese,
And should It be substitute bread?
Shall we eat raisin cake? Apple pies'
may we hake?
We're all of us sadly perplexed.

In President Wilson's blef address
nt Carlisle he said: "It la moral
force as much as physical force that
has defeated the eifort to subdue the
world."
Every natloln worthy of the name
has a firm substratum of moral
force. The nation may seem Im
mersed In the affairs of the world;
perhaps Its attention is devoted to
commerce and the development of
'science, perhaps to the promotion of
luxury.
Hut beneath these outward signs
lies the moral force, only awaiting
emergency to cbme to the surface. It
will take possession of the nation's
finest thought, and the love of money
and the love of luxury will In :t
moment as t were, be subordinated.
In the recent war we have seen
America efcaBgS with rapidity from a
PSSOS lOTJBgi materialistic country to
one swayed by Its belief In right

Have you a county agricultural
agent in your home? If not. why
not? asks. a writer in the Oregon
Iairy and Food Bulletin. The valuo
of such public servants is recognized
by the federal government; and even
in these Htrenuous times they are
backing their endorsement by lend
ing their active financial assistance
everywhere.
Hundreds of farmers are coming
about the state and Is able to
bring to their attention the helpful
experiences and experiments of
others. They are an aid In the or
ganization and operation of their co
operative enterprises. They become
an ever-present source to which the
tanner may go for iitutistlcs and
technical Information; and good
roads, good tools, good markets,
good stock, good farm labor, and
one who will reflect a moment, tKiit
none of them are In a position to I
serve as large an Industry, to reach .
as many citizens, orto do as great.
and lasting good as would these
county agents where they can secure
the assistance and cooperation of
those with whom they work. Get
cheerfully behind the agents In your!
county. If you have them, nnd bOOSl
! with them for your community and
your county. If you have no su.;i
officers, organize a movement with
that object In view and bclo them ,
become the busiest, most helpful
pleasure for a prlnciplp. America's
young manhood believed that in en
tering the war It was launched In the
holiest of all crusades.
Religion is often closely Inter
woven with this manifestation, but
It is not essentially a religious
manifestation. Its root Is In the
principle of liberty, and the willing
ness to sacrifice all to gain this prin
ciple which founded America. This i
may lie dormant- hi the hearts of i
the people for years at a time, but
tradition and character keep it alive, j
