University of Illinois.WNU Service.During winter laying flocks need all the sunshine they can get. Of course the flock must be protected from chill and extreme cold, but the practice of closing the hen house Joor early and not opening it until miter Easter, as many poultrymen do, reduces the hatchability of eggs laid during this period.The first recommendation for the Improvement of hatchability is the greater use of free sunshine and green feed. It is estimated that poultrymen and hatcheryrnen of the United States lake an annual loss of more than $14,000,000 from eggs that fail to hatch.In experiments conducted at the Ttfatinnnl Apttcultural 'Research cen-Pests Survive the Winter in Modem Heated HousesUnited States Safest Country For LivestockThe even healing of modern homes keeps alive through the winter many insect household pests that once were frozen in chilly clothes closets and storage rooms. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine says that clothes moths, carpet beetles, cockroaches, silver-fish and other species often thrive the year around in warm houses.Frequent brushing, sunning and: airing of woolen clothing and furs, during the winter, will do much to save them from clothes moth and carpet beetle damage. Slightly soiled garments such as wool sweaters and socks are especially attractive to moths. Little-worn articles are best cleaned and packed away in moth-proof containers with naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene flakes. Scrupulous cleaning of all cracks and corners of closets and other storage places in ordinary use helps to keep them free of insects.Cleanliness is also a protection against cockroaches. An immaculately clean kitchen and all food stored in the refrigerator or in insect-proof containers will discourage cockroaches.The small, active, greyish, scale-11 •The United States is probably the safest country in the world in which to raise livestock/’ says Dr. John R. Mohler, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. In addition, the supply and the wholesomeness of animal products in this country are excelled by those of no other nation.”Step by step, scientific research, he adds, has been whittling down the dangers and the losses until the supply of meat and milk has become one of the most dependable elements of national life.Even in times of widespread drought and untimely freezing temperatures that curtail cereal, vegetable, and fruit crops, the production of meat and milk continues. Animals not only utilize a variety of feeds but, if necessary, are readily moved from areas of feed shortage to favorable locations.BIRTHSDowling 4-H ClubThe 4-H Club girls of Dowling school met last week for the first time since Christmas.
