BEST RETURNS FROM PULLETS SECURED IF THEY LAY EARLY Maturity Can Be Hastened by Right Kind of Care and Feeding—Free Range is Desirable A flock of pullets that can be brought to laying in the fall will give the largest yearly profit. The average poultry keeper falls to either hatch early enough in spring, so that the pullets may reach laying maturity in October. or he does not keep them growing rapidly enough to bring this about. Pullets that do not get to laying well before the arrival of cold weather and the short days of December will seldom start egg production before February. Thus two or three months of additional feeding are required, and the advantage of this period of highest egg prices is lost. Very few eggs are secured on the average farm during autumn and early winter, but experienced poultrymen by better management secure a fair egg production during these seasons. It is advisable, although not essential, that the cockerels and pullets be separated as early as possible and given separate free range. Avoid overcrowding, especially at night. A coop that will hold 100 young chickens will not house properly more than half as many growing pullets.. Their maturity will be retarded if too many are kept together, or if they are annoyed by lice or mites. Frequent inspection of the house, especially after the pullets have gone to roost, is advisable. If mites are seen crawling on the porches or are found b y careful inspection of the house, prompt measures must be taken to kill them by spraying the interior of the house. As advised by the United States department of agriculture, with crude petroleum, kerosene, cresol solution, cattle dip, or some other effective solution.

These p TO LIMIT TRUCK LOADS Orange county's board of supervisors Wednesday passed a trucking ordinance carrying the terms, with one addition, agreed upon by representatives of Orange. Riverside and San Bernardino counties a month ago. The ordinance is now passed by the three counties, and will be in effect in this county at the end of thirty days. Following the presentation of the ordinance to the supervisors of this county, delegations of truckmen and truck dealers appeared before the supervisors and entered vigorous protest against some of the provisions of the ordinance, more particularly against a load limit of 36,000 pounds for a truck and two trailers. The truckmen wanted that maximum raised several thousand pounds. In general, the truckmen agreed that load limits were necessary and advisable. The one change made in the ordinance as requested by the truckmen was fixing a load limit of 30,000 for six-wheeled vehicles. The ordinance specifies that no motor or other vehicle shall be operated or moved upon or over any public highway in the county, the weight of which resting upon the surface of the highway, road or bridge, exceeds 700 pounds upon any inch of width of tire, when the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic tires. No more than 650 pounds upon any inch of width of tire when the vehicle is equipped with solid rubber tires. It is provided further that the aggregate of any load including the weight of loads and vehicles drawn by any one motive power shall in no case exceed 36,000 pounds in weight; trat in no case shall the load carried by any motor vehicle or trailer, equiper with solid rubber tires exceed a fifty per cent load above the rating given by the manufacturer for truck or trailer; nor shall any object be moved upon the inspection of the house, especially after the pullets have gone to roost, is advisable. If mites are seen crawling on the perches or are found b ya careful inspection of the house, prompt measures must be taken to kill them by spraying the interior of the house. As advised by the United States department of agriculture, with crude petroleum, kerosene, cresol solution, cattle dip, or some other effective solution. Body lice frequently cause much annoyance and retard growth and maturity. Individual treatment of each pullet with sodium fluorid or mercurial ointment will clean up those pests on the birds themselves. Feed freely of a good egg-laying ration, give plenty of range, and be sure they get plenty of mash. It is a help to keep it in hoppers where they can have free access to it. A light feeding of moist mash, especially if mixed with milk, may induce them to eat a little more. If 25 per cent of buckwheat middlings is added to the allotment of mash to be moistened with milk or water it will be eaten eagerly by the pullets and force them along a little faster. A liberal amount of meat scrap in the mash is advisable at this time, particularly if plenty of milk is not available. Corn, wheat, oats and barley are the principal grains fed. Kafir and buckwheat also are used, but are not so generally available and usually cost more. Corn and wheat are the two best grains and are about equal in value, although wheat can be fed alone better than corn, which is inclined to be fattening. Oats and barley, on account of their hulls and higher fiber content, are not so good as corn or wheat. Rye is not well rellished and is seldom fed. Wheat screenings or slightly damaged grains sometimes may be bought to advantage, their value depending entirely upon their quality and condition, but as a rule only sound grains in good condition should be fed and moldy grains should never be used. The locally grown grains which poultry will eat freely may generally be used to the best advantage. A scratch mixture consisting of whole or cracked grains made of a combination of any two or more of those mentioned, can be fed to advantage. It is not advisable to feed continuously any single grain, especially corn, owing to its fattening properties. Corn meal, wheat bran, wheat mid- It is provided further that the aggregate of any load including the weight of loads and vehicles drawn by any one motive power shall in no case exceed 36,000 pounds in weight; trat in no case shall the load carried by any motor vehicle or trailer, equipper with solid rubber tires exceed a fifty per cent load above the rating given by the manufacturer for truck or trailer; nor shall any object be moved upon the count yhighways in excess of a total weight, including vehicle and load of 22,000 pounds, when the motor or other vehicle is equipped with four wheels running on the highway, or in excess of fa total weight, including vehicle and load, of 30,000 pounds when the vehicle shall be equipped with six wheels running on the highway and with three axles, not less than ninety-six inches apart. When a trailer is used at least fifty per cent of the entire load hauled shall be carried on the vehicle used for motive power. Any person violating any of the provisions of the ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment in the county jail, not exceeding six months or by both. Any peace officer making the arrest shall keep the offending vehicle with its load in his custody until such time as the load on the vehicle shall have been recovered sufficiently to bring its weight within the maximum of 22,000 pounds for the vehicle, or 30,000 pounds when the vehicle is equipped with six wheels or an aggregate of 36,000 pounds for truck and two trailers.

Grit and oyster shell are need-ed, for fowls on free range soon exhaust the natural supply of small, sharp stones that have any grinding value in the gizzard. Green feed must be provided if the pullets are to grow rapidly. They set-dom get enough, even when on free range in the early fall, for most of the plants and herbage have long since passed the succulent stage. A newly mowed field of grass or a patch of rye, wheat, oats, barley, or rape sowed especially for the poultry gives the best supply. Cabbage, chard or beet tops may be used. The essential thing to secure early maturity is to remove everything that causes annoyance or retard growth and induces the pullets to eat heavily of a well-balanced ration. MILK PRODUCTION CONDITIONS ARE GOOD In looking over the dairy situation in Orange county, says J. R. Waters, assistant farm advisor, milk is being produced for the most part in this district under as nearly absolutely sanitary conditions as possible. "Now that the retail price of milk has been lowered every family should increase their consumption of either raw or pastuerized dairy products," said Waters. "Bread has been given the name staff of life for the reason perhaps that it was at one time cheap and was used so extensively as a human food. Now, since we are so well-informed regarding the essential principles of milk as a food, what shall we call this tissue building lacteal product" "Experiments were conducted on children who, while being well but improperly fed, were not receiving in their diet a very large quantity of milk. These pupils were inapt in thetain vitamine which are the active principles in nourishing the system and sustaining life." WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN William D. Haywood, now a fugitive from justice in Russia, has fallen heir to a fortune through the death of his wife. No one ever knew that he had a wife, but the charming story told by the authorities is that he had a wife and two children when he used to work for a living, before he became a champion of the workers. According to this story, Haywood deserted the little family 30 years ago. Still more good fortune came to the wife, for her father discovered a silver mine. One-third of his wife's inheritance now falls to Haywood, though of course he must return to America and enter upon his 20-year sentence in Leavenworth in order to claim the wealth. One cannot help thinking of "what might have been." Haywood has been reckoned for years as about the cheapest agitator that has grown up among us. His support of a strike or a "cause" has practically always made it impossible for that strike or "cause" to succeed. Thirteen years ago he first galned national notice by being acquitted for murder. During the war his utterances made it inevitable that he be tried for disloyalty. He was tried, was convicted, then abandoned his comrades and his bondsmen and fled. Now—suppose he could go back 30 years, and Haywood had merely done his duty. Fortune was on its way, and would have included him. Ease and comfort, instead of the shadow of the law, would have been his! Perhaps he could have risen from honorable security to honorable distinction. Those who know him say he has interesting qualities. But somehow a sense of duty seems to have been owner and tenant can effect the abolition of these rodent pests. The biological survey, United States department of agriculture, is starting a big campaign against rodents throughout the eastern United States. Much already has been accomplished in the matter of control in the western and middle western states, where effective co-operation was secured. On the other hand, residents of the eastern and southern states, as a rule, have been exposed to widespread ravages and attacks from rodents for such long periods that they have become so accustomed to the nuisance as to accept them as a matter of course. Uncle Sam is doing his utmost to awaken these sections to the need for eradicating rats. To illustrate the enormous damages which rats annually accomplish in grain and corn fields, the experience of the state penitentiary farm, covering 2500 acres, at Baton Rouge, La., is of interest. Last year a 200-acre field of corn was planted on this farm. The rats worked their way through the field, stealing all the seed before the kernels could germinate. The field was planted a second time, and again the rats overran the prospective cornfield, leaving in their wake paths of destruction. Underterred, the farm manager planted the field to corn a third time, and ultimately secured a poor stand, which resulted in the production of about one-third of a normal corn crop. This year, just before planting, a drive on the rats was organized, following methods recommended by the biological survey. Convict labor was used in distributing poison bait over the entire 2500-acre tract, and as a consequence the place was practically freed of rats. As a direct result of this rat-eradication drive, the farm this year secured from a single planting an excellent stand of corn that bears indications of an early harvest of a good crop. "Experiments were conducted on children who, while being well but improperly fed, were not receiving in their diet a very large quantity of milk. These pupils were inapt in the classroom and presented the appearance of being undernourished. When milk in reasonable quantities was added to their daily diet the bloom of health and youth returned. The impoverished mechanisms of their brains were nourished with vitamins so necessary to promote the efficiency of that wonderful nervous organization and their mental development was so pronounced that milk deserves in this instance, to be called the fluid of life. Not only does milk in itself contain the vital elements so necessary to the various organs and tissues of the body, but all its products contain the life for the reason perhaps that it was at one time cheap and was used so extensively as a human food. Now, since we are so well-informed regarding the essential principles of milk $a_g$ a food, what shall we call this tissue building lacteal product. Now—suppose he could go back 30 years, and Haywood had merely done his duty. Fortune was on its way, and would have included him. Ease and comfort, instead of the shadow of the law, would have been his! Perhaps he could have risen from honorable security to honorable distinction. Those who know him say he has interesting qualities. But somehow a sense of duty seems to have been omitted. He has no sense of duty to his country, his family, his bondsmen, or his comrades in prison. Instead, there is a love of dubious story, and the path to real glory, wide open before him, was as always, the path of homely duty." WARFARE PLANNED TO DRIVE RATS FROM EASTERN STATES Damage totaling $200,000,000 in stored foodstuffs, grain, field crops and other injurable materials is done by rats in the United States annually. Only the united efforts of every home ZERO KNOWLEDGE The speaker was Gen. Horace Townsend. He said: "I had in Tours a French servant girl who was preparing to migrate to our shores. In buying her outfit she wanted to go in heavily for fur$_g$ and fur linings, but I said to her: 'Why so many furs? It isn't so cold as all that in the United States.'" "I indeed it is then," said the girl, and she tossed her head. 'You can't fool me, monsieur le General. Isn't it the United States that all our frozen meat comes from?'
