June 30 to July 7 Chautauqua Week urged American effort to win the world war. The piece argues that Russia’s withdrawal shifts major forces to France and Britain, making victory unlikely without full U S mobilization. It warns democracy’s fate hinges on every citizen’s resolve.
Farmers should gather eggs daily and train hens to lay in cool, clean nests away from sun and weeds. Keep nests off the ground, roomy and ventilated to reduce spoilage and losses from addled eggs. Ensure fences and orchard rows are cleared to locate hidden nests and improve collection.
Advice on keeping hens productive with green feeds. Green ground rape, cabbage, sprouted oats, and poke shoots supply tender matter as grasses turn fibrous in warm dry months. Poke stalks yield new shoots within 10 days to two weeks, providing substantial green feed even in dry weather.
The text argues that incubators require proper air quality, not confined spaces with lamp fumes. It warns that poor air impedes hatching and stresses that outdoor air is superior, noting the hen’s advantage in using fresh air. It concludes that with inadequate air, even incubators fail to hatch robust chicks.
Growing chicks with ample summer range shade and green food will mature faster than those in bare yards. Early hatching risks a fall molt and delayed return to laying, possibly missing peak profitable laying months. Hatch spontaneously to avoid cold weather setbacks.
Editorial argues for financing World War effort via bonds and careful taxation. It warns against overburdening current generations and stresses preserving productive power while distributing burdens to future generations. The piece frames democracy’s fate and urges mobilizing both labor and production without crippling the economy.
A farmer should provide clean water in proper vessels to prevent disease in his fowls. Relying on outdoor sources like horse or hog troughs risks contaminated water. Ensure hens have constant access to pure water at all times.
