It !■ very Important to look after
the ages of the fowls to be mated. As
a rule cockerels are mated to hens,
and cocks to pullets. This Is all right,
yet one can get good results by mat-
ing fowls of the same age, provided
they are well matured. It is never
advisable to mate pullets with cock-

Is best.
Twelve to 14 hens should be mated
with one male for best results. It Is
sometimes the case that a male may
be mated with a larger number of hens
with good results, but It Is risky to
experiment
Ton should be sure that you have a
good male bird at the head of your
flock. If the male is strong and vig-
orous at all times, you will at least,
be half certain of strong eggs for
batching.
FOREIGN LEGION NEAR END
Imposaible to Frame One Ordinance
That Will Be Suitable for All Com-
munities — Form Prepared
Which Will Assist.
Milk laws should meet local condi-
tions. Ordinances governing the dairy
Industry must be prepared with care
and be enforced. Officials of the
United States department of agri-
culture say that It would not be wise
to attempt to draft a milk ordinance,
with Its standards, grades, and re-
quirements, without s special study of
Jocnl dairy conditions as well as the
purposes of such an ordinance. One
of the most Important considerations
must be the reasonableness of the
law. A law which works an unneces-
sary hardship on a legitimate Industry
|s not reasonable, and a law so strin-
gent that It cannot readily be en-
forced will defeat Its own ends.
Form Prepared to Assist.
In s strict sense It Is Impossible to
frame one milk ordinance that will he
%uitable for all communities. The
bureau of animal Industry and the
bureau of chemistry of the depart-
ment, however, responding to a con-
stant demand by municipal authori-
ties for some form of milk ordinance
that will best meet the requirements
and which can be used as a guide, have
prepared a form which It is believed
would assist In bettering the milk sup-
ply.
Three Grades Considered.
A special feature of the ordinance Is
the grading of milk and cream, which
Is believed to be of paramount impor-
tance. A great sanitary and economic

Considerable attention has been
given to the present lack of profit In

that there has been a good profit dur-
ing the past year, despite the high
prices of feeds.

NEED HELP ON MILK
LAWT EXPERTS'
ADVICE AVAILABLE.
A study of the milk ordinances
of many cities, large «nd small,
shows a great diversity of opin-
ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes
a proper milk ordinance. A
great lack of uniformity among
laws, some of which are entln1-
ly out of date, has been noted.
Mnn.v of them seem to be tran-
scripts of ordinances In force In
« > other cities, placed In the rau-
nlclpal series of laws without
regard to local conditions, aud
some contain provisions which
sre unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.
Bulletin 585 of the department
of agriculture suggests a form
of ordinance which. It Is be-
lieved, will prove to be a satis-
factory framework upon which
the average town or city cun
build a finished, practicable law
that, properly enforced, will Im-
prove the averoge milk supply
and work toward s desired uni-
formity of food laws.

energy are two Important necessities
for which we ent food. Milk contains
the body-bulldlng materials—protein
and mlheral substances, such as lime
and phosphorus—needed to renew body
wastes and promote growth by form-

supplies the energy for carrying on
body functions.
