Overcrowding of Chicks
Costly in Poultry Raising
Overcrowding of growing chicks
is one of the most common and
most costly errors in the poultry
business. It not only leads to waste
of feed, poor growth, disease and
cannibalism, hut it may also bo the
.indirect cause of weakened stock,
i Avoid loss from overcrowding by
starting only as many chicks as
'your brooder house will accommo
-1 date and by providing room for ex
pansion as the chicks grow.
1 Aloby 12 foot brooder house will
take care of from 250 to 300 chicks.
Ilf straight run chicks are brooded,
j the cockerels should be removed as
'soon as possible to provide more
| room for the pullets. If sexed pul
;}ets are brooded, another house
should be provided for them when
Ithe pullets are six or eight weeks
•Id.
I A wire-floored sun porch, the size
«f the brooder house, is an excel
i tent means of providing extra space
i'for growing chicks. They may be
lied on the sun porch where they will
; get the benefit of sunshine and fresh
air.

Doctor Said, Don’t Get Up,
So Woman Burns to Death
LONDON.—ToId that her house
v as burning, Mrs. Ethel Roys, 27,
f lunk her head out of an upstairs
'window and replied: “I can't come
'down. The doctor said I was not
to get up.”
Mrs. Roys was burned to death.
George Carter, who told the story
at a coroner’s inquest, saved four
other occupants of the house.
Professional Income
The relation between income and
number of years in practice is found
to he similar in all professions;
income rises for a time, then de
clines. In medicine and dentistry,
professions in which scientific ad
vance has been rapid and skill and
dexterity are required, younger men
have an advantage and the peak
income is reached fairly early—be
tween the 13th and 20th year of
practice.
Diabetes Takes Rising
Toll in This Country
About four million people in the
present population of the country
will become diabetic some time dur
ing their lives, according to esti
mates made by statisticians of the 1
Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany. The number of diabetics now
is well above 500,000. Each year at
least 50,000 persons are added to
the list, while the reported number
of deaths is about 40,000 annually.
The chances of eventually becom
ing diabetic are distinctly greater
for women than for men. Of the
population under 50, just over 4 per
cent of the females and a little more
than 2 per cent of the males will
become diabetic at some time.
One-half the total cases of dia
betes in this country are concentrat
ed at age 60 and over, though the
population at these ages comprises
only one-ninth of the total. One
fourth of the diabetics are under 50 j
years of age, while the remaining
fourth are between 50 and 60. The
rise in the diabetes onset rate with
age is greater for women than for
men. Between 40 and 50, the rate
for women is more than twice that
for men.
Yeast Adds Proteins to Eggs
As much as 55 per cent protein
value can be added to dried eggs if
wood-derived yeast is mixed with |
the product.

Good Eating Habits
Not Linked to Income
The popular conception that high
incomes and good eating habits nec
essarily go hand in hand is explod
ed by data recently released by the
department of labor. Quoting from
an extensive survey, the depart
ment points out that in 1942, milk
consumption per capita at the $2,000
income level per family was fully
as high as at the $4,000 level.
After milk limitations had been
in effect for 2 x k years, the situation
was little changed, but with con
sumption slightly higher for the low
er income group, being about 2 3 /i
quarts per capita per week at the
$2,000 level and about 2Vt quarts
per week for the $4,000 group. In
the case of cheese, butter and ice
cream differences in consumption
were slight, but in each case were
in favor of the higher income
groups.
As incomes dropped below $1,500
per year the quality of the diet
deteriorated materially. For exam
ple, with incomes under $l,OOO a
year consumption of milk dropped to
a little less than 2 quarts per per
son per week. The decrease in con
sumption of other dairy products
was fully as great proportionally.
Insect Enemies
Only a few hundred of more than
600,000 species of insects known are
j enemies of man.
