The United States department of ag riculture urges as many as possible of the farmers who have not raised chick ens to stock their forms this year with fowls, enough at least to supply the needs of their own households. This will be a big factor In the nation-wide campaign which win endeavor to dou ble this year the chicken and egg pro duction of the United States. Accord ing to the last census, of the 6,371,502 farms In tho United States, 1,527,743 reported no egg production.' The more-chlcken-and-more-egg campaign Is ex pected to displace millions of pounds of beef and pork in American menuB and send the released product across the ocean to our soldiers, the allies, and the hungry people of the lands devastated by the Prussian war torch. The department docs not advise that (lie general farmer embark In exten sive raising of poultry, but warns against such ventures. But It sees no reason why every farm should not produce enough chickens and eggs for Its own use, and why there should not lie enough surplus to make chickens and eggs available to tho general pub lic at reasonable prices and in such quHiitllles that there will be markedly less domestic demand for the meats that aro needed abroad and that can lie transported there. LIMBER NECK IN CHICKENS Affliction Caused by Ptomaine Poison inn From Eating Decaying Flesh Try to Prevent. Limber neck in chickens Is caused by ptomaine poisoning from eating de caying flesh. Where fowls run at large they frequently pick up dead rats, mice or other animals und in this way become affected with tho germs, which quickly cause death. Whole flocks are sometimes wiped out In the course of a few weeks. Prevention 1b tho best remedy. If you are losing chickens from this cause shut up the flock and feed them on sound, sweet grain and feed. A simple effective treatment is to use permanganate of potash.

J. 17-22 QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood Is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid ney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to tree the blood of this Irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the ellminatlve tissues clog and thus the waste Is retained In the blood to poison tne enure system. When vour kidneys ache and reel like lumps of lead, and you have sting ing pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad der 1b irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from vour Dharmaclst about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast each morning ana in a lew aays your uii neys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon iulce. combined with Uthla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged k'dneys, to neu trallze the acids In urine so it Is no longer a source of Irritation, thus end lne urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts Is inexpensive ana cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves cent llthia-water drink, and nobody can make a miBtake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active. Adv. The Wealth of the Ukraine The states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin have a com bined area about equal to that of the new Ukrainian Republic. Putting it in another way, Ukralnla, according to a native writer, is as large as the German empire with the state of Illi nois annexed. Mere area in itself signifies little, but the extent of land surface com prised within the limits of the new republic of Ukrainia contains the most fertile parts of the old Russian empire. It in known as the "Black Earth Belt" and has been not only the granary of Russia but the greatest granary 01 eastern Europe. In 1914 one-third of Russia's total farm products came from this "Black Earth Belt," which is really Russia's wheat belt. Ukrainia produces 80 Der cent of Russia's crude sugar and 59 per cent of her refined sugar. The tobacco production or tne reeion Is relatively as large as that of sugar. The Ukrainian supplies about 50 per cent of the Kussian nve-siocK output. Not only is the Ukraine a great source of agricultural wealth, but in mineral resources it has been to Rus sia what the northern provinces of France, now overrun by the Germans, have been to that republic. Of coal, it has produced 70 per cent of the total Russian product, an equivalent pro portion of pig Iron, and of steel nearly as much. Manganese, mercury, pe troleum, peat, phosphorite, and kaolin are other important mineral products of the Ukraine. Prom "The Urainian Republic," in the American Review of Reviews for March, 1918.

But the chickens hatched late In tho spring will not mature un til lute In the fall so late that they will not lay In tho winter.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) As a roughage for finished stock there is no better or more economical feed than silage for It produces large dally gains and aids In keeping the animals In a healthy condition so that they can handle other feeds more ef fectively. An advantage in feeding silagejo beef cattle that Is often over looked, Is that it enables the feeder to carry his stock for a long time so as to pass over a period of depression In the market Silage also can be profitably used to supplement pastures for steers during a time of drought, when they are be lng finished for market. For many years the belief was gen eral that cattle which received silage as a major portion of the roughage would have to be kept In warm barns and not exposed to the cold. While they do need protection from the cold winds and rnlns and need a dry place to He down, It has been clearly demon strated that warm barns are not only unnecessary, but that fattened cattle make both larger and cheaper gains when fed In the open sheds than when confined In barns. Stocker or thin cat tle receiving silage will, of course, need more protection than animals which are being fattened. The theory that ellage-fed cattle shrink very heavily in shipping to mar ket is erroneous. While the actual shrinkage during transit is sometimes greater, the fill taken at market is usually good, and If good judgment is used in preparing them for shipping the net shrinkage is no greater than for cattle which have been fed on dry feeds. For 38 hours previous to ship ping nice bright hay and stover should be substituted for the silage in the ration. The general Impression that choice or prime carcasses cannot be made by the use of succulent feed Is equally untrue, as the sllage-fed cattle usually make more desirable carcasses than cattle fed a similar ration, except that silage was replaced by one of tho coarse fodders.

Superior Beef Type. difference In the percentage of market able meat that steers will dress out which have been finished on a silage ration nnd a dry ration. The meat seems equally bright and the fat as well intermixed with the lean. If silage makes up the bulk of the roughage it will be necessary to haul large amounts of bedding Into the sheds to keep tho animal dry, as there Is no waste in silage, or else make a cement floor nnd cover with bedding to absorb the urine and prevent the animals from slipping and to give them a warm place to lie down. When the enormous saving In the quality and amount of the feed is considered, this disadvantage does not seem so hard to overcome by the stockman who has the capital to put up the silo and pave his feed sheds or feed lots.

ToThe American People There is no foundation for the alleged violations of law attributed to our Com pany by agents of the Federal Trade Commission and I want to say emphatic ally that Swift & Company is not a party to any conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment. Nor has Swift & Company been guilty of improperly storing foods or of making false entries or reports. Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed, have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing a felony by acting in collusion on Government bids 1 We have done our best, with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S. Army and Navy and the Allies, now be ing handled through the Food Adminis tration. We will continue to do our utmost, un der Government direction, to increase our production and assist the Food Adminis tration. We consider that the opportunity to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most press ing duty. The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference and misplaced empha sis, given to disconnected portions of the correspondence taken from our private hies and read into the Record, a false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion. The services of the packers of the United States are most urgently needed, and I regret exceedingly that we should at this time have to spend our efforts in defending ourselves against unfounded, unproved, and unfair assertions such as are being dally made public.' e&$. ofuntfc".
