health has not permitted much ac-

The question of making a living is
on a more serious outlook ev-
ery year. Each year there are more
people in the world that must be fed.
Everybody eats eggs and chickens,
the consuming public will some day
eat more eggs and chickens. These
facta only help bring out the fact
that a good flock of chickens is a nec-
essity, and can readily be looked upon
as a source of great income.
At this time of the year, let us
take a look at your flock of chick-
ens; let Us see what we can find.
Do you keep mongrel chickens,
“dukes mixture”, all kinds, all sizes,
all ages, all types, all colors, so-call-
ed just eating or crazy quilt chick-
ens? Ask yourself that question. Go
out and count them, find out how
many you have.

We are giving big discounts on
all kinds of New and Second-hand
and note of the kind of chickens. 1
wanted to get first hand information
on just what relationship exists be-
tween standard bred or so-called pure-
bred chickens add mixed breeds or
mongrels.
I am more convinced than ever that
a large number of people still be-
lieve in mixed chickens. We have
tried to reason out why so many peo-
ple want to waste time with mongrel
chickens. We nave tried to look at it
from their viewpoint, but are at a
loss to even begin to understand.
We cannot find one good reason
or justification for the flock of
mongrel hens of the farm.
The Mongrel Flock
1. They are poor layers, as an av-
erage producing less than 100 eggs
in a year.
2. They eat juct as much feed as
pure-bred chickens.
3. They require just as much room
and just as good care.
4. Good feed is money wasted when
fed to a flock of mongrel, mixed or
non-descript fowls.
5. Good care is time wasted when
devoted to a “dukes mixture” flock of
chickens.
6. W’liat kind of breeding do they
have? Answer, nobody knows, they
come and go by accident. Their par-
ents or ancestors are no good, how
can the offsprings be much better.
7. They are unsightly, because they
are mixed in color and type.
8. They produce a mixed lot of
eggs, bringing an inferior price upon
the market.
You cannot enter them in a poul-
try show, because no poultry show
management will tolerate them. If
you try, you will find you cannot
even., name them.
10. As a general rule they are of a
lowered vitality and sickly.
11. They are all ages, most of them
too old to be able to get into nest
boxes.
12. Mongrel hens, lay most of their
’:w eggs in Spring and early Sum-
mer when eggs are cheap.
13. You cannot sell any for breed-
ing purposes, because nobody wants
them.
14. They are bred for speed, rath-
er than egg-production.
15. They are a money-losing prop-
osition under even the most favor-
able conditions.
16. Why don’t you enter some of
your mongrel flocks at your Fair or
in an Egg-Laying Contest?
17. Why is the average owner of *

By a persual of these figures, you can readily see why the insurance
rates are so high. These loses were only partially covered by insurance.
And, too, when we stop to consider that the two principal causes of these
losses were CARELESSNESS and NEGLIGENCE, we wonder just how long
it will be before we awaken to the full importance of Fire Prevention. Not
for Fire^ Prevention week alone, but for fifty-two weeks or three hundred (wv^vvvvrvvvvvvvwyv^vvvv^ivyvvvyvyvyvvv,
