Every farm should have a carefully culled flock of not less than two hundred fowls. The larger the farm, the larger the flock, and such a flock should be maintained largely from economical reasons. Poultry will pick up 90 per cent of Its living from scattered and wasted grains. They act ns scavengers in consuming a large part of what would otherwise be lost. Poultry will prove valuable in eating obnoxious bugs, grasshoppers, worms and insect pests, that would otherwise destroy food tjiat is valuable.

To win this war the quickest, and with the least loss of lives we must provide the food, for as Napoleon said : An army marches on its stomach. This means that an army must be well provisioned to reach its greatest efficiency. The greater part of the food supply must come from the United States not only for our 1.760,000 and more boys In the army and navy, but we shall have to feed our people at home, and must also supply the allies who are fighting this worlds greatest battles. Dispose of Surplus Males. Every farmer can raise more and better poultry and do it far more profitably by disposing of all surplus males, by keeping only the yearling hens, and the earliest and pullets, thus keeping no deadheads or slackers to consume what should go to profitable producers.
