The House cleared a calendar of 115 second reading bills and ad vanced 40 on first reading. The general app> oprlation bill passed second reading and was then recommitted. The appropriation committee' will probably report it out within two weeks. Other bills recommitted were third-cluss city police, civil service, on which a hear ing has been asked; regulating sale of tax claims in Pennsylvania; regu lating collection of taxes in coun ties having less than 150,000 popula tion; increasing the salary of the chief of documents and providing for additional employes of the House. a quorum of members of the House was late in appearing to-day at the hour fixed and members on hand and clerks organized a mock strike, going from their seats and leaving Speaker Baldwin and Chap lain Zerfoss in their places. The "strikers" then gathered in the rear of the hall and yelled "scab" at men who were at their desks. Representative Fred Ehrhardt de clined to strike and a page was sent to him with a flag which ho saluted and followed in the "walk-out." Chaplain Zerfoss then joined Chief Clerk Earinln and other strikers, leaving the Speaker alone. Then the Speaker quit and a patriotic parade around the hall was held, members singing the "Star Spangled Banner." Representative Thumas F. Mc- Ntchol, of Philadelphia, then "organ ized" the House, saying the State had failed. He summoned Repre sentative John Mehring to be Speaker and made himself chief Clark Gavin and other strjkers. Glass as reading clerk. The real Speaker declined to stand for the McNichol attaches and calling in the real clerks called the House to order one-half hour late. Speaker Baldwin in opening the House remarked on the slim at tendance, saying "It is apparent that many of those advocated an early adjournment are not to work to day." POULTRY RAISING EFFICIENCY URGED BY STATE COLLEGE Poultry raising is of the utmost importance in these days of high prices and food shortage. The poul try business in Pennsylvania amounts to $25,000,000 annually. It should be increased. Poultry is more pro lific and reproduces faster than any other class of livestock. With a lit tle care the supply of eggs and meat can be enormously Increased in one year's time. Poultry raising occupies a pecu liar position in agricultural work, and is distinctly a business of a large number of units. Many backyards would support a small flock of hens to supply food for home consump tion. Poultry is a business for the masses, for several reasons: (1) Because of the small intrinsic value nearly everyone can afford to Keep a small flock. (2) No great amount of space is lequlred and no expensive buildings are necessary. (3) Hens will yield a profit with h snail amount of labor, and they can be kept as a side-line to other work. (4) Expensive feeds are not neces sary—hens convert table scraps and kitchen waste, supplemented with grain, into fresh eggs and tender poultry meat. Farm flocks can be increased in size with only slight additional iabor. The average farm flocl: in Pennsylvania consists of 62 fowls. It Miould be much larger. Where hens fail to yield a profit. The cause is usually due to carelessness of the owner. Hens are not machines and can not be run automatically. Eliminate (the drones and save the feed for the layers. Not all hens are efficient. As a general rule, chickens hatch MAY 10,1917. jed after May 1 do not grow well enough during the hot summer months, and do not mature early enough to be good winter layers. IjV.te-hatehcd pullets are unprolit able, as they do not lay, but require feed during the winter. Three-vear oid hens and late hatched pullets hhculd be sold for meat. Perhaps no article of diet of ani mal origin is more commonly eaten or served in a greater variety of wjiys .lian eggs. In Pennsylvania one and a half-million dollars worth of eggs spoil annually because they are not given proper care. Kggs should be kept clean, cool and dry. Infertile eggs do not spoil so easily as fertile eggs.
