says Azalea Sager, of O.S.C., which
is probably the collegiate way of
expressing the old saying that "a

What Miss Sager is referring to in
this instance, however, is the ad
visability of proteoting woolens and

ing the summer.
In her capacity of extension spec
ialist in clothing and textiles. Miss
Sager has gathered suggestions to
gether designed to assist the home-
maker in protecting things made of ‘
wool, hair, feathers or fur, as all
these are attacked by the common
clothing moth.
The first line of defense is fre
quent inspection, with brushing,
beating, sunning and cleaning. The
eggs of the moths are delicate and
can usually be destroyed easily.
Sunning Is always a valuable aid,
while dry-cleaning or laundering
will destroy either the eggs or the
larvae.
Of course, it is the larve or worm
tage in which the moths do the
damage. The moth itself is a small,
uff- olored miller with a halt-inch
wingspread, and seen usually flitt-
'ng about In dark places. Its chief
business after becoming an adult is
to lay eggs and many of them—as
high as 300 In the 30 to 40 days of
its lite. These are deposited inside
a pocket, under pleats, in folds of
blankets, or similar secluded places.
These eggs hatch In from three to
four days under favorable condi
tions.
Once cleaned, fabrics may be pro
tected indefinitely by being wrapped
In paper or stored in tight closets
or chests. Ordinary firm wrapping
paper will do, or several thicknesses
of newspapers will serve very well.
Napthalene, the basis of the old
familiar moth balls, may be pur
chased in flake form and is very ef
fective for protecting clothing in
tight closets, trunks and chests,
says Mrs. Sager. The flakes, sprink
led throughout clothing, give off
fumes that destroy all stages of
moths.
Paradichlorobenzene—which fruit
growers know as "paradi” and use
for eradicating prune root borers—
is recommended as equally effective

ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER
A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder
car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She
refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops moré power on a gallon

The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four
extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine

POOR FEEDING CUTS
PROFIT ON POULTRY
Balanced Ration Necessary,
Expert Advises.
Instead of substituting, there has
been considerable subtracting done In
feeding poultry, and as a consequence,
some poultrymen are failing to get
the income they should get from their
flocks.
Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poul
try department at North Carolina
state college, says considering its great
importance, feeds and feeding for poul
try In generally less understood than
any other phase of the industry. This
lack of information Is shown especial
ly when an attempt Is made to sub
stitute certain feeds on hand at home
for those which should be purchased
or exchanged.
Mr. Dearstyne declares that poultry
requires a balanced ration containing
protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals
and vitamins In an available form.
These should be given In the quantity
and of the quality to maintain the
bodily vigor of the fowls and permit
them to lay according to their highest
ability. It is important to give the
birds plenty of water because the
fowl's body Is 55 per cent water and
the egg Is over 65 per cent water.
Animal proteins as supplied by fish
meal, meat meal or milk products are
also necessary. It is not enough to
rely on the vegetable proteins supplied
In certain of the grain feeds.
The fats supplied by grain feed are
usually enough for poultry but min
erals should be supplied by bone meal,
oyster shell, limestone, rock phos
phate and salt. Mineral deficiencies
in the ration are common.
More Encouragement for
Profit in Poultry Game
According to figures Issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the number of hens and pullets
in farm flocks is from 4 to 5 per cent
greater than one year ago. It is thought
that egg production may not be larger
for some time to come. The reason
given for this estimate is the higher
percentage of late hatched pullets, and
also because It Is doubtful whether
this winter will be as mild as that of
a year ago.
Aside from this, the storage situa
tion is more favorable. Holdings of
case eggs on September 1 were 34 per
cent below those on the correspond
ing date last year, and 37 per cent be
low the average of the last five years.
With this reduction in storage sup
plies, even if current production
should prove larger than last year,
there would still be a considerably
smaller supply of eggs available for
consumption during the next few
months.
Egg shipments from the Pacific
coast have been light for some time,
and may decrease still further, be
cause of a 13 per cent estimated de
crease of chicks raised last spring and
summer. The low price of feed will
also be an important factor In bring
ing profitable returns from all flocks
which are well hred and well fed.—
Wallace’s Farmer.
Hens That Do Not Lay
Should Be Culled Out
If one could he certain that he has
hens and pullets In his flock that
would not lay any eggs until next
spring he would not want to feed them
all winter.
One way of reducing the feed cost
of producing eggs Is to etili ont un
desirable birds at Intervals frequent
enough to prevent their getting very
much feed without paying for It.
Among the laying flock there arc hens
of this class such as those that loafed
through the summer, laying too few
eggs to be profitable. There may also
be diseased hens or those out of con
dition that should not be carried any
longer. Among the pullet flock may
be poorly developed, diseased, or oth
erwise unfit birds that should come
out. It Is not quite fair, nor good
business, for a good hen to pay for
the feed eaten by a cull.—Hoard's
Dairyman.
Feed Hens Freely
If your poultry flock Is not produc
ing as efficiently as you know It should
be. chock up on the available feeding
and watering space. See that there Is
plenty of room for all the birds to eat
freely and see further that they are
given a good balanced ration which
will stimulate and maintain egg pro-
duction. Poorly-fed birds will not be
good producers. Hens will pay a bet
ter price for feed than any other kind
of animals produced on the farm.—
Prairie Farmer.
