EARLY BIRD GETS
© RICH EGG RATION
February Chicks Should
Make Rapid Growth.
‘Leghorn chicks hatehed in Febru-
_ ary should be fed rations that make
for continual rapid growth, is the ad>
vice offered by the poultry department
~ of the New Jersey Agricultural col-
lege. ;
~ Pullets from early hatched chicks
cannot be expected to produce a prof- |
: itable number of eggs during the sum-
~ mer and fall, if their growth is stunt-
ed in any manner. Any good baby
_ chick ration will prove satisfactory
‘until the birds are eight or ten weeks
old. After that date, the specialists
advise that they be placed upon a ra-
tion similar to a good ‘laying ration,
but containing a larger amount of
~ + minerals. To have the bird come into
~ production as soon as possible and at
the same time have her-continue her
body growth is the poultryman’s aim.
No matter how they are fed, Feb-
' ruary batched birds can always be
expected to go through a moult in the
late fall. They can use this period
for any increase in weight or growth
that has not been accomplished pre-
viously.
' One must remember that an early
hatched bird is an entirely different
individual from a late hatched bird.
. The later hatches should have a much
slower development in order to pre-
vent an early winter moult, but with
the early hatched stock the aim is to
get all of the eggs possible before the
early winter moult. 3
: Feed Turkey Breeders
or for Vigorous Poults
~ Too much corn in the turkey’s win-
ter ration may make the birds too fat
~ hatchability. Some breeders feed 3
parts of oats to 1 of corn and find
that the stock -come through the win-
ter in condition to produce vigorous
poults. Equal parts of corn, wheat
dition of cull vegetables, and alfalfa
or clover is necessary until the turk-
eys can forage in the spring. ©
. Before the turkey hens begin to lay,
it often pays to give them a hopper
“of the same balanced laying mash
which is used for the chickens. Where
they have had nothing but grain they
may be relictant to eat the mash but
if it is kep: before them, some of the
“mash will probably be eaten and it
will help to improve egg production
and keep up the vigor of the turkey
hens while they are laying. Keep a
hopper of oyster shells before the
turkey hens to help in producing firm
shells on the eggs and reduce break-
~ age in the nests.
© Feeding the turkey breeding stock
on soil away from the chickens is a
help in preventing blackhead and oth-
er turkey diseases. Diseases are often
. spread through the medium of the
droppings which have contaminated
the feed. Some losses may be pre-
vented by feeding both the grain and
‘the mash in hoppers so that none of
the feed will touch soil which might
pe contaminated with disease.

Watching Bill
Now Before the
Legislature
—:0:—
Much local interest is being mani-
fest in the bill now before the’ legis-
lature empowering the State authori-
ties @ proceed with State highways
through boroughs. .
State highway authorities, several
years ago submitted to the local bor-
ough council detailed plans calling for
a right of way 100 feet wide through
this town following Main and Lake
Streets.
The council were unanimous in their
opinion that the scheme proposed by
the State authorities would reduce
the taxable valuation of the borough
in the neighborhood of the improve-
ment of at least 25 per cent. and pile
up a bill for beyond the legal limit
of indebtedness for this borough to
assume.
It is reported that State employees
have * surveyed a route following
Franklin Street and Lehman Avenue,
but this plan does not seem to take
well with local people. Our Main
Street business men are against
moving the current of traffic for bus-
iness reasons, and just so. Others
are against having a through State
highway passing the school grounds
for fear of the children.
It is hoped that things will be
worked out satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

Reads-For Lack
Of Good Farms
—:0:—
A new reason for the decline of
farming in Pennsylvania—bad roads
—was advanced at Harrisburg yester-
day by R. S. Blackwood, of Beaver
Falls, president of the Pennsylvania
State Association of Township Super-
visors.
Mr. Blackwood in a prepared state-
ment, said over 60 per cent. of Penn-
sylvania farms are situated along
earth roads. In advocating a larg-
er return of state funds to the town-
ships for improvement of roads in
the rural communities, he quoted fig-
ures of the United States census to
show that “117,802 farms in the state
are on ‘unimproved dirt roads’ and
29,863 on ‘improved dirt roads’—in
other words, on an earth road that
has been graded and drained.
“The township face a critical con-
dition and Pennsylvania's agricultur-
al position among American states is
threatened,” he continued. “Each
year hundreds of additional Pennsyl-
vania farms are abandoned.

Fuel system of the new Ford
Fe has been
designed for reliability
and long service
THE practical value of Ford
simplicity of design is es-
pecially apparent in the fuel
system.
The gasoline tank is built
integral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy because it
is made of heavy sheet steel,
terne plated to prevent rust
or four, and is electrically
welded—not soldered.
Because of the location of
the tank, the entire flow of
gasoline is an even, natural
flow—rfollowing the natural
law of gravity. This is the
simplest and, most direct
way of supplying gasoline to
the carburetor without vari-
ations in pressure. The gaso-
line feed pipe of the new
Ford is only 18 inches long
and is easily accessible all
the way.
The gasoline passes from
the tank to the carburetor
through a filter or sediment
bulb mounted on the steel
dash which separates the
gasoline tank from the
engine.
The carburetor is specially
designed and has been built
to deliver many
thousands of miles
of good
Since all adjusiménts are
fixed except the needle valve
and idler, there is practi-
cally nothing to get out of
order.
The choke rod on the
dash acts as a primer and
also as a regulator of your
gasoline mixture. The new
hot spot manifold insures
complete vaporization of the
gasoline before it enters the
‘combustion chamber of the
engine. 3
As a matter of fact, the
fuel system of the new Ford
is so simple in design and
so carefully made that it
requires very little service
attention.
The filter or sediment
bulb should be cleaned at
regular intervals and the
carburetor screen removed
and washed in gasoline. Oc-
casionally the drain plug at
the bottom of the carburetor
should be removed and the
carburetor drained for a
few seconds.
Have your Ford dealer
look after these important
little details for you when
you have the car oiled and
greased. A thorough, peri-
odic checking-up costs little,
but it has a great deal to do
with long life and
continuously good
