This is due langely to the condition in which the birds are marketed. In the majority of cases quality is controllable by the farm- ! er, or producer. The quality of market poultry can be much improved by proper feed- ing for a few days before marketing.

Young growing stock uses its feed for both growing and fattening, and so will make greater gains per pound of feed given th fully matured stock. The highest percentage gains can be secured with young stook weighing 13% to 214 pounds each, although birds weighing from 2% to 43% pounds ¢éan aleo be fattened very profitably. Vigor and vitality of feeding | sfock is as important in poultry | teading as in other live stock feed- ing. Birds that have been out al summer on farm range will make very rapid gains. An observation of the relative gains of two birds in a crate, one of the weak, crow-head- ed type, and another of the strong,' bold and vigorous type will con- vince anyone that the matter of vig- or is of great importance for profit- i able feeding. How To Make a Fatteming Crate, The best method of finishing, or fattening, is by the use of crates. A AAR AA A AA AA inches long, 24 inches deep and 18 inches high divided into three pens. The lath or the bottom should be placed about 1% inches apart, . &o that the droppings will fall through. The lath in front should be two inch- es apart, so the birds can eal the be V-shaped, and placed six inches above the floor on the outside. This trough should be removed except when the binds are actually feeding. Good Finishing Rations. The ration for fattening should consist altogether of mash feed moistened to the consistency of gruel with buttermilk or sour skim- be made as follows: 60. per cent. finely ground corn- meal. 40 per cent. low grade flour. Another good ration, but will giwe | a somewhat whiter appearance to the flesh is made of: 40 per cent, finely ground corn. meal. 40 per cent. ground oats. 20 per cent. middlings. Care should be taken not to over- | pdod the first two days. After that give the birds all they will eat up in 20 to 30 minutes twice a day, as nearly 12 hours apart as possible. From ten to fifteen days is as long a feeding peniod as Is necessary. oatmeal or sifted Questions on this Week's Lesson. 1. What factor controls the price obtainable for market poultry 2. Why may feed be mome pro- fitably used with young stock than with mature binds? 3. Describe how to make a fat- tening crate for fifteen birds. 4. Why should a producer finish, or fatten his birds for market? Answers to last Week's Questions. 1. Females for the breeding pea should be chosen by selection con- tinued for some weeks. This may be commenced just after the birds have been placed in winter quarters, and should be continued until about a month before eggs for hatching are required. ¢ + 2.

RADIO od | One of the easiest ways to start an argument among radio enthus- fasts is to broach the subject of aerials. There is no and to the different opinions held by radio amateurs as to which type of aerial will give the best results. Some like the inverted "L," others favor the "T," while there are thou- sands who pin their faith to the singl® wire, multiple wire, indoor loop or some aerial of there own de- sign. For every type can be found strenuous advocates who are quite prepared to become almost oratorical in defence of their pet faney. Even radio engineers are not unanimous in favoring any particu- lar design, but . generally speaking their experience leads them to be- lieve that almost any tvpe of out- door, grounded aerial will give bet- ter results for less expenditure than an indoor loop. The indoor loop, while it has many backers among amateurs, has one de- . fect, according to authorities on the A ie A Constant Headaches It is hard to struggle along with a head that aches and pains all the time, and in nine cases out of ten the persistent headaches are due to some derangement of the stomach, liver or wi Undoubtedly the cause must be re- moved before permanent relief may Burdock Blood Bitters removes the 7 subject. That defect is the fact that the amount of energy picked out of in the case of an 'outdoor, grounded aerial, edly true that to get the best results from the use of an indoor loop much more elaborate and expensive receiv- ing apparatus is essential. With an indoor loop additional amplification enthusiast knows, means that the 'operation of a receiving set is more costly, and complicated. With radio manufacturers bending every effort to make receiving ap- paratus more simple to-"Operate, it does not seem likely that the indoor adherents among the ' trained men who make the Study of radio their life work. The only possible advantage of an indoor loop is the fact that its use does away with wires outside build- ings, according to radio emgineers, This is a feature that wonld undoubt- edly appeal to department dwellers. However, it is pointéd out same result can be achieved by the use of special plugs which screw into the light socket dnd make the glectric light circuit an aerial. These plugs may be used without-having to purchase equipment of & costly or complicated nature, they state.

For they know Parker Duofold is the finest pen any one could give them. A classic in shapeliness, a positive treasure for balance, with a color that's handsomer than gold and makes this a hard pen to lose. Yet more famous still is its 25-year point--a point of polished Iridium, set in extra thick gold. The tip alone costs up $2340 a pound. That's three times the cost of ordinary pen tips. It's a point that suits all hands, and one dares to lend at will. For no style of writing can distort it. It's guaranteed 25 years for perfection and wear! Most of these facts are widely known. So be careful to give the genuine Parker Duofold. Anything less, a copy or imitation, is apt to seem ungallant. Neat Gold Pocket-clip or Gold Ribbon-ring included free.
