40 Cents a Pound
MRS. FARMER AND MISS FARMER: For throe years Joseph Mette
con luck'd a campaign in Northern Mississippi and Western Tennessee
to get the mother.- and daughters on the farms to set every hen that gets
bloody in August, i: lumber, October and November. This was done on hun
dieds of farms, a.it fcroughl the women folks thousands of do’ISrs Just when
they wanted the money. Every woman and girl, who has had success glowing
spring chickens in Arkansas, should try this plan.
1 he cockerels are sold as soon as they will weigh two pounds each. Last
rininksgl\ ing several carloads were sold that brought 40 cents a pound—80
cents a chicken to the w,>men and girls who raised them. The good pullets
are kept, and lay in March and April, when the old hens are hatching and
ra4sing chicks.
Set every hen that gets broody from August until the last of November
This is the time when the hens are naoultlng. A lien can hatcli and raise a
brood while she is moulting, and when she has finished the job, will be ready
to begin her winter laying.
Three things are necessary to make profit from summer and fall hatch
ing. The hen and chicks must be kept free from iice and mites; they must
have fresh, crren water before them, and they must have good shade. Feed
that will make a pig gain one pound will make a growing chick gain a pound.
A pound of chicken brings the most money.
Clean and disinfect the nests, roosts, and all parts of the hen house with
I coal oil until there are no mites left.
Dust each hen thoroughly with lice powder before you set her, and once
every week until she hatches, and the hen and chicks once a week until the
chicks are weaned.
Get a new box for a nest. Put two inches of dirt in the bottom of it) and
arrange straw over the dirt to make a nest.
Put the pen with fresh hatched chicks in a coop close to a corn field or
j other good shade. Keep the hen in the coop; let the chickens run only when
[the grass is dry. Keep them up when dew' or rain makes the grass damp.
KEEP FRESH, CLEAN WATER WHERE HEN AND CHICKS CAN
[DRINK EVERY THIRTY MINUTES FR&M DAYLIGHT TO DARK.
If you have failed to raise chickens in the spring, do not try fall hatching,
[if y«u made a success of spring childrens, go in heavy on fail hatching.

May Be Repetition of 1917-18
Conditions Next Winter Says
Geological Survey.
MINES IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.
Those Who Delay Ordering
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.
The I'nited States Geological Survey
announces from Washington the prob
ability of another general coal short
age next full and winter. The an
nouncement Is based, the Survey
spates, upon a nation-wjye study of
conditions In t ho hittJ^nous field.
Unless steps are taken at once, the
Survey says, to place the mines upon
u basis of Increased production there
is every prospect of a repetition to
some degree of the situation that pre
vailed in the United States during the
winter of UI17-18.
The only way production can be stim
ulated at the present time, it is said, is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
“Production during the first five months
of the year,” reads the statement, “fell
.">7,202.000 net tons, or approximately
2597 below production during the first
five months of 1018. Mines arc produc
ing coal now at the rate of from 6,000,
000 to 8,500.000 tons a week. An aver
age output of 10,700,000 tons a week
must be maintained from June 1 to
January 1 next if the country's esti
muted needs of 500,000,000 tons this
year are to be met."
Evil of Delayed Orders.
At no time during tills year has the .
rate of production approached the re
quired tonnage. The tendency on the
part of buyers to hold off (daring their
orders is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal at the point of
production, and when the rush of
orders for the winter's needs conies
next fall there is grave danger that
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and the probability of less adequate
transportation, will be unable to meet
the demands. The result of such a sit
uation would be an insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic con
sumers, public utilities and industrial
users generally.
“It Is believed that requirements for
this year,” reads a Survey statement
to Fuel Administrator Garfield, “will
he about 5.80,(XMl,(XX) tons of bituminous
coal, of which approximately 30,000,000
tons have been used from stocks accu
mulated last year, leaving 500,000,000
tons to be produced. Of this 500,000,
0!K> tons 178,000,000 tons were produc
ed during the first five months, leaving
.'‘.22 000,000 tons to be produced in the
remaining 30 weeks, or an average of
10.700,000 tons a week.
“Thus far this year production has
been at the rate of 8,200.00(1 tons a
week. In 1018 production was at the
rate of 11,300,000 tons a week.
“Tliis production will he difficult of ac
complishment. The capacity of operat
ing mines at the present time with labor
now on the payroll is about 10*2 lower
than it was last year. This deficiency
may be made up in part or wholly if
he nines b-ave orders sufficient to run
,belli five or six days a week unless the
.hreatened exodus of foreign-born labor
>: curs.
May Be Car Shortage.
“Present wage agrements between
operators and miners expire with
the proclamation of peace l>\ tlie Pres
ident. A suspension of mining oper
alions while a new wage agreement is
being negotiated would, of course, seri
ously interfere with the production of
• ■mil and if it should occur during the
fail would cause a panic among buyers
and i < nsumers of coal."
There is no use in gambling upon
this or any other contingency, fuel ad
mi; is*ration officials say. The firm or
individual who wants to he sure of an
ade<; ate coal supply next winter can
lie certain by buying coal now. There
is no other way such assurance
can ! e obtained. Transportation also
premises to lie a limiting factor if the
■end tide of demand comes at a time
when the country’s record crops are
being carried. In some districts it
would appear certain that, notwith
standing the utmost endeavors of the
Railroad Administration ami the util
ization of its experience last fall, car
shortage will lie h cause limiting butl
miuous coal production, and for that
reason It is problematical whether the
expected production of 500,000,otto tons
can he attained tills year.
Shortage of labor already is a fac
tor that is cutting down the output in
some coal producing sections, accord
ing to the Survey’s report. The opera
tors report that from 36,000 |.i fo0'>o
foreign-horn miners expect to return to
Europe as soon as they can get puss
ports and that many have already re
turned. If continued this movement
will lie capable of producing but one
result—a reduction of the amount of
coal mined in districts where the mine
labor is largely foreign-horn, and there
are many such districts.
II** who needs coal should Ik*
•o longer. Now is the time tc
coal.

of Old Circuit Riders.
Nashville Tenn—The Centenary
Commission of the Methodist Episco

having that many homes pledged to
observe daily devotions.
This is the revival of ancient cus
toms in the church. It is the part of
an intensive campaign which the
church lias launched in connection
with the spiritual side of the Conser
cation program of the Centenai-y
Movement, through which the Metho
dists raised ?53,000,009 in an eight-day
drive last May.
The object of the present campaign,
ar stated by Rev. S. A. Neblett, Sec
retary of the Department of Spiritual
Resources, is to enroll at least 10%
of the church members in the prayer
league known as the Fellowship of
Intercession, to establish 100,000 Fam
ily Altars, and to assist in finding a
thousand young people to go abroad ss
missionaries.
August 21-31 is known as Enlist
ment Week. During this period the
seven thousand pastors will urge theli
members to join the Fellowship of In
tercession, to establish Family Altars,
and to obeserve the day of fasting and
prayer.
JAPAN TO MODIFY KOREAN RULE.
So Predicts Dr. S. E. Hager, 25 Years
a Southern Methodist Mission
ary In The Orient.
Nashville, Term.—That Japan will
moderate her rule In Korea Is the pre
diction of Dr. S T Hager, recently
returned missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South., Dr. Hager
has spent more than a quarter of a
century in Japan doing religious work.
'Japan is learning that her success
In giving good government to Korea
is fraught with difficulties, and that
tolerance and good will must take the
place of harsh and severe methods.
“The military leaders aim mainly at
making their rule thorough and perma
nent, and naturally there is great
temptation to the man of the sword
to make his rule severe.
“But democratic ideas are growing
in Japan, and more temperate treat
ment of the subject race will come
about.”
Dr. Hager says the Christian mis
sionarles in the Orient are elated at
the success of the Centenary move
ment, through which the church raised
$53,000,000.00 for missionary work in
all lands.
Millions of this will be spent in the
Orient. Hundreds of new missionaries
will be sent and there will be a great
advance movement in medical work,
education and evangelism.
