Bantam Chickens
Prove Profitable
About the smartest creature with
feathers is the bantam chicken. Such
characteristics of bantams as intel
ligence, small size and finally the
practical fact that they produce
eggs has made them favorites in
many sections of the country. Many
families keep a bantam for about
the same reason that they keep a
dog.
The profit of the breeder and fan
cier is high as compared with main
tenance, as these miniatures only
consume one-fifth as much as the
large breeds. Buyers will pay from
$1.50 to $4 for a setting of quality
eggs. Breeders sell single birds
from $2 to $15, while fanciers readi
ly refuse twice that price.
It’s not expensive to "house ban
tams. If they are to be raised on
the ground a yard 4 by 12 feet will
provide ample space for a rooster
and two hens—for breeding pur
poses. If housing is for eggs, six or
eight hens can be raised in this same
space.
A number of bantam breeders are
raising their stock on wire flooring.
The same size pen or inclosure is
used but it is raised about two feet
off the ground. All ages develop
well on wire flooring.

Through some hokus-pocus, char
acterizations of city life usually are
taken from the exceptionally fortu
nate examples but .the examples of
country life are drawn from the
“Tobacco Road’’ and “Grapes of
Wrath” strata.
This custom of comparing the best
of urban life with the worst of rural
existence is an injustice to farm
boys and girls and a threat to the
welfare of the nation. Young men
and women exposed through forma
tive years to literature, art, mov
ies and drama which distorts the
true picture of city and country are
likely to believe they can be happy
only where success is measured in
terms of millions.
The glare of city millionaires hides
slums and poverty that are more
typical of great cities than the im
mense wealth so often cited. The
average amount of property accu
mulated by farmers is greater than
the average for city workers.
Rural parents can counteract the
publicity favorable to city life by
teaching their children to share ear
ly in the responsibilities and the re
wards of farm life. Encouragement
for the t>oy or girl to raise live
stock, gardens, or crops, and owner
ship of the profits help in making
farming brighter for children.

Harness Cleaning
Harness is often damaged in win
ter by acid bearing moisture in
closed barns. The dampness rusts
buckles and hardware, and the mois
ture weakens the leather. Rats and
mice are not so likely to chew a
well-oiled harness. Any good neats-
foot oil compound will seal the
pores in the harness and protect it
against acid and dampness, while
the oil also protects the metal parts
against rust. Before oiling, har
ness should be taken apart and
cleaned and weak parts replaced.
After oiling, the harness should be
dried in a warm room.
