Y. W. C. A. DRIVE.
The week of February 22
to 29 will be known through
out the United States as Y.
\V. C. A. week, when the Y.
W. C. A. drive for $3,000,000.
to carry on that organiza
tion’s World Service Program
for women, will officially
close.
The Federal Council of
churches in America has set
aside Sunday, February 29,
as a day when ministers in
all Prostestant Episcopal
churches will speak on gen
eral questions affecting women
and the Young Women’s
Christian Association as an
instrument of service.
Mrs. H. W. Jernigan will
lead the work in ' McCrory,
representatives from all the
women’s organizations of the
town will make up the local
committee. Through tjhese
women, it is hoped, that the
work of the Y. W. C. A. may
become generally familiar to
the people of the town, and
diat McCrory may make a
substantial subscription to the
$18,000.00 which Arkansas
is asked to raise.

KEEP EGGS FROM ACTIVE
FOWLS FOR HATCHING.
Only eggs from vigorous
fowls should be used for
hatching is the advice of Mr.
H. B. Lansden, poultry
specialist with the Agricul
t u r a 1 Extension Division.
Strong, active fowls produce
more fertile eggs from which
sturdy healthy chicks are
hatched. Eggs from fowls
of strong vitality are not only
more fertile but they also
hatch better and the chicks
are easier to raise.
A few breeding fowls se
lected for their superior vigor
and stronger vitality, will
often return a greater profit
than a much larger number of
fowls which are lacking in
these characters.
Strong vitality is indicated
by a head that is short, broad,
deep and compact; an eye
that is bright, full clear and
prominent; a- back short,
stout, broad and well curved;
comb and wattles well de
veloped and fiery red. The
body of the bird should be
well balanced and compact;
the back long and broad, car
rving its width well out to the
end. The individual should
have good capacity, as shown
by the length, depth and
width of the bodv. This will
give room for developement
of good digestive and repro
ductive systems.
The stronger Dims usually
stand1 with legs placed
squarely under the body and
vide apart at the knee joints.
Tfhe toe-nails of stronger
birds point, showing evidence
of greater activity. The
stronger fowls are also gen
erally first off the roost in the
morning, and the last to go to
bed at night. A short heavy,
well curved spur on a good
sized shank indicates vigor in
thq case of a male bird.
The weak and unprofitable
fowls are those which have
long, narrow and sunken
and dull eyes. Their bodies
are often abnormally shaped,
shallow and lacking capacity
throughout. The birds of
low vitality stand on small
legs which are close at the
hock, or knee joint. They
are less active, and may often
be seen on the roost in the
daytime.
Contrast these two tpyes.
Breed the strong birds only.
They will produce fertile
eggs which will hatch sturdy i
and thrifty ctockens. Don’t
breed the culls® They do not
earn their feed or care.
