Government Maintains Paid Hunters.
Strange as it may appear, the gov
ernment employs hundreds of hunt
ers. The biological survey hires be
tween four hundred and five hundred
hunters whose sole duty is to hunt and
trap wild animals. In 1920 these pro
fessional hunters “bagged” out 32,000
skins and scalps, divided among the
various animal tribes as follows:
Wolves, 584; coyotes, 27,100; moun
tain lions, 149; bobcats, 4,123; Canada
lynxes, 43. To the average citizen of
this country, especially in the thor
oughly domesticated East, these fig
ures might not convey practicability,
but to the farmers of the western
ranges they mean a saving in live
stock of about five million dollars.
Those Funny Dyspeptics.
“Dyspeptics are funny people,” said
Dr. Ellery C. Chamberlain, the noted
Ciiieago dietitian.
“Dyspeptics,” lie went on, “are all
alike. I heard a typical dyspeptic
giving an order in a loop restaurant
after the opera, the other night. The
man is a millionaire and he said:
“Oh. dear, dear, when I was young
I could eat anything and pay for
nothing, but now that I am able to
pay for anything I can eat nothing.
Bring me, waiter, a broiled lobster, a
Welsh rarebit, a piece of cherry pie
with roquefort cheese and a plate of
banana ice cream to top off with.”

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Not a day passes that inspectors
employed by city, state or federal gov
ernment, do not condemn food of one
kind or another because it is unfit for
human consumption. Sometimes tills
is due to deliberate adulteration, an
intention to defraud the purchasers,
but more often it is the result of im
proper packing, neglect to consider
temperatures to be encountered in
transporting from point of origin to
destination, or failure to consider the
time which must necessarily elapse
before the product is likely to reach
the consumers’ tables.
All this entails not only great loss
in money, likely to be reflected in
prices demanded of the public, but
also it endangers the public health,
because occasionally some unworthy
article slips through inspection and is
served as food. Enough food products
spoil every week to form a very Im
portant part of the amount needed by
the people; and practically ail of it
might be saved through intelligence
and care on the part of the producers
and shippers.
After your chickens are fattened and
ready to kill, it will pay you to study
the methods of killing, bleeding, pick
ing, chilling and packing described
fully in bureau of chemistry circu
lars: 3, “How to Pick Chickens;” 52,
“How to Wrap Heads”; 61, “How to
Kill and Bleed Market Poultry.” Is
sued by the Department of Agricul
ture, these circulars may be had by
application to the division of publica
tions. The man who hopes to suc
ceed should know everything possible
about his proposed market, and its de
mands.
Broilers in Demand.
«
Ordinarily the demand is for broil
ers of three sizes—squab broilers,
small broilers and large broilere.
Squab broilers weigh,- dressed, from
three-quarters to one pound; small
broilers, the size most in demand the
greater part of the year, weigh from
one to one and a quarter pounds each,
and large broilers from one and one
half to two pounds.
Broilers may be sold alive or
dressed, In the discretion of the ship
per; but if dressed, this should be
done according to the demands of the
market, and these demands one can
learn only by inquiry and study. Get
ting the product ready for the buyer
in the public market has much to do
with the. price received. The appear
ance of the article, the manner in
which it is packed, and its condition —
these are the points that make a rep
utation for the shipper.
Temperature to Maintain.
The temperature of chickens when
they are alive is 103 degrees Fahren
heit. This must be reduced after kill
ing to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less
before they can be packed for long
hauls in refrigerator cars. The time
required to chill fowls usually is about
KEEPING DOWN STABLE FLIES
Give Stable ReTuse Proper Care and
Stack Straw So That It Will Not

The numbers of stable flies can be
kept down by caring properly for
stable refuse and by properly stacking
or otherwise disposing of straw in a
way that will not make it attractive
as a b reedier place for the flies.
Flies cause much distress among ani
mals and at times heavy losses. Con

24 tuning, and the packer must he sure
that the body cavity, as well as the
skin and flesh, are free from heat be
fore the birds leave the chill room.
Failure to observe this requirement
is responsible for much of the ill-con
ditioned poultry found in the public
markets. The range of temperature
permitted, too, is small. Below 30 de
grees Fahrenheit the flesh is frosted;
above 35 degrees Fahrenheit decay
proceeds too rapidly to permit of long
hauls to distant markets. Of course,
the birds can be frozen after they are
chilled, and so shipped, and this Is a
very excellent plan, especially if the
haul is across a hot country, say the
specialists in the Department of Agri
culture.
Packing for Market.
It is customary to pack broilers with
the breasts up, and the feet hidden.
The prevailing method at present,
where refrigeration is available, is to
pack the chickens in small boxes hold
ing a dozen each, but small boxes suit
able for one or two chickens have re
cently been placed on the market. If
tiie business is to be permanent the
containers should carry the farm
name, or the name of the shipper if
the farm lias no name. An attractive
advertisement on the box has a great
deal to do with marketing, a fact
proved long ago to the satisfaction of
shrewd business men.
Small packages are becoming more
and more popular. Two layers of
chickens in a box are being discarded
for a single layer, it being realized
that refrigeration is more perfect if
the carcasses do not touch, and if
pressure on sifch tender tissue as
chicken muscle is eliminated as far
as possible. On this account heads
are wrapped in waxed paper and
turned back where they do not rest
against the soft flesh of the breast
or thighs. No longer does the packer
thrust old cocks, broiling chickens and
fowls indiscriminately into a big su
gar barrel, pressing them down In his
effort to pack tightly, and so bruising
the flesh and tearing the skin.
CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST
Promote and Protect Health of All
Farm Animals and Increase Prof
its for Farmer.
A concrete barnyard makes a fine
exercise lot in all kinds of weather
and always affords a dry spot for the
animals’ bed. Every shower washes
the surface clean and flushes the
droppings into the manure pits. Con
crete yards lighten the work of the
housewife, as there is no mud to be
tracked on the walks and kitchen
floor. The use of rubber boots is un
necessary. On concrete floors not a
particle of grain need be wasted. The
way to the water trough Is always dry,
smooth and passable. Concrete floors
promote ami protect the health of farm
animals and increase the profits of
farming, stock raising and dairying.
shelter for live stock, and protect
crops and buildings from the hot
winds of summer and the cold winds
of winter. Moreover, they often can
be grown successfully on soils too poor
or on slopes too steep for the success
ful production of the ordinary agricul
tural crops.
INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY
Element May Be Added by Proper
Soil Treatment, Rotation of
Crops and Phosphate.
The supply of nitrogen, the most
costly element of food for plants, can
be increased through proper soil
treatment, rotation of crops, the ad
dition of phosphate and limestone and
the growing and plowing under of
legumes. All stable manure is to be
utilized, and on the older, worn soils
of the East and'South some commer
cial nitrogen may be profitably used.
Following a crop that is a heavy nitro
gen consumer with one that is a light
user is good farm practice.

1. The Controversy in the Church at
Antioch (vv. 1-5).
This difficulty was a most serious
one, for it threatened the disruption
of tlit> church into .Jewish and Gentile
divisions.
The question was, “Shall Gentile con
verts he required to keep the Mosaic
law as a condition of salvation?” Tills
issue was brought on by the coming
of certain men from Jerusalem who
declared, “Except ye be circumcised
after the manner of Moses, ye cannot
be saved" (v. 1). The question was so
difficult that Paul and Barnabas were
unable to put them to silence. These
.Jewish legalists had the letter of the
Scriptures on their side; they could
point to the commandments where
this was enjoined upon believers (Gen.
17:14). Paul could not point to any
Scripture where it had been abro
gated. If Paul could plead that Abra
ham was justified before lie was cir
cumcised, his antagonist could say,
“Yes, but after justification the rite
was divinely imposed.” The brethren
at Antioch decided to refer the matter
to the mother church at Jerusalem. Ac
cordingly Paul and Barnabas and
others were sent as a deputation to
Jerusalem.
11. The Deliberations of the Council
(vv. 6-21).
J. Peter’s Speech (vv. 7-11). lie
argued that God had borne witness to
His acceptance of the Gentiles by giv
ing the Holy Spirit to them the same
as unto the Jews. Since, therefore,
God had not put a difference It would
be folly for them to do so. God’s
action In sending Peter unto them was
the unanswerable proof that there was
no distinction to he made.
2. Paul and Barnabas reiiegr.se their
experience (v. 12). They told how that
God had set His seal of approval upon
their preaching of salvation by grace
through faith apart from works, by the
working of signs and wonders through
them.
5. The argument of James (vv. 14-
21). He took the fact declared by
Peter and showed how it harmonized
with the prophecy of Amos. He
showed that the reception of the Gen
tiles was not in conflict with God’s
plan, hut in strict harmony there
with. God’s plan for the ages is as
follows: (1) Taking out from among
the Gentiles a people for His name
(v. 14). This is What Is now going on
—the calling out of the church. (2)
After the church is completed and re
moved the Israelitish nation will he
converted and restored to their land
and privileges by the Lord himself
at His return (vv. 16, 17). (3) Follow
ing this will he the conversion of the
world througii the agency of con
verted Israel (v. 17; of Horn. 11: 15).
His Judgment was that the Gen
tiles should not be troubled with
things that are Jewish, but should be
warned against the perils of heathen
ism, such as meat offered to idols,
fornication, and blood.
111. The Decision (vv. 22-29).
Tiie mother church at Jerusalem
came to a unanimous agreement and
accepted the resolution offered by
James. They not only sent a letter
stating the decision of the conference,
hut took the wise precaution to send
influential men along with Paul and
Barnabas to hear the same testimony
by word of mouth. This letter de
nied tiie authority of the .Judaizing
teachers (v. 24), and declared the
method by which this decision had
been reached (vv. 25-27).
IV. The Second Missionary Journey
Begun (15:36; 16:5):
1. Contention over John Mark (vv.
36-41). Paul was suspicious of Mark
because of his desertion on the former
journey. Barnabas took Mark and
sailed to Cyprus. Paul chose Silas and
went through Syria and Cilicia con
firming the churches. The Lord thus
overruled it to good, for it gave an
opportunity for wider dissemination
of the gospel.
2. Finding Timothy (16:1-5). This
was at the very place where Paul on
his first journey had endured cruel
stoning. Timothy was with Paul
through much of his work ever after
ward. a great blessing to him.
