=-=:- -=.=: POULTRY KEEPING. .[: A PROFITABLE HOBBY." BY "UTILITY." POULTRY AND PLOTS. The fear that poultry-keepers may become desperate at the shortage of feeding stuffs for their birds has evidently suggested to the Food Production Department of the Board of Agriculture the idea which it is now putting forward that plot-holders should keep live stock on their allotments. It has half pro mised assistance in the matter, while several Food Control Committees have seriously taken up the question, and have asked ail those interested to send in their names, when they will be given assistance, and possibly financial help. The man who has a few fowls is very re- luctant to give them up, and if he is given just a little encouragement in the solution cf the really worrying matter of foodstuffs, he will gladly keep his birds. There is a great deal of waste from allotments which fowN can very well utilise. As it is now calculated that there are 3,000,000 and more" war plot- ters," there will soon be a large quantity of greenstuff and spare roots available, asd what better use could be found for them than in their conversion into a food so highly con- centrated, nourishing, and delicious as an It need not be that every allotment holder should have his separate pen of fowls; it would be much simpler and more convenient if a certain number of holders bought a pen and and arranged to feed the birds and share out the profits among themselves. The fowls might (strictly guarded) be turned out on to an allotment being dug where they would obligingly devour a few hundred wire- worms and other insect pests. Another very real advantage to be gained would be the supply of valuable manure from 1 the birds. Fertilisers are getting scarcer, the area required to be cultivated ever growing larger, and, if a largo number of gardeners could supply themselves with their own manure, more wouM be available fcr the pro- duction of the field crops of the farmers. Fowl manure is a very concentrated fetiliser, one that can either be used dry as a guano, or, if it is well kept and mixed with vegetable compost it becomes a, first-rate substitute for farmyard manure. It can be used for mak- ing liquid manure, and altogether is a very useful by-product of a poultry run. J, SENDING EGGS BY RAIL. One reason which used to be given in excuse of the -huge imports of eggs was that British poultry-keepers did not pack their eggs f'1; 'r ,trnt"l\. oi- lP n 1nnn;ler likely, to se*! the produce well. Now there are practically no imports, as so many of the egg producing countries are at war and cannot send us sup- plies. But this should not mean that our own poultry keepers may slacken off their efforts in preparing eggs for market. On the other hand, it. ought to mean that everyone who sends eggs either to wholesale or retail custo- mers should take special c-ue in the grading and packing of their eggs, and make their markets so certain that even when foreign imports come again, they may not be lost. The British oiudit now to make up his to ;jccurc and keep the best trade of the country—the trade" in new-laid eggs. Cooking eggs and eggs for factories can be supplied from abroad. It does not pay to cater for any but the best trade. For some years past manufacturers have been improving egg-bcxes for transit by rail and road, and now there can be bought quite a variety of absolutely reliable packing-boxcs for holding large or tmall consignments of eggs. When consignments of more than thirty dozen arc sent, it is best to pack the eggs in crates with straw or wood wool. But the majority of poultry-keepers in this coun- try do not regularly send such a 6. MARKET EGG-BOX. amount, and they can obtain many kinds of well-designed and light yet strong egg-boxes for despatching their eggs. It is, of course, more convenient (in these days of slow travelling especially) and more economical to send as large consignments as possible, and this should be remembered when choosing the boxes. Another point of equal importance is light- ness. though not with any lessening of strength. Where these two points can be assured, pounds may be saved in railway charges in the course of a year. Wooden boxes fitted with metal handles are usually the most convenient. But there are other kinds of boxes which are quite good for sending small quantities of eges—those made of stout cardboard, divided into partitions and lined with corrugated paper arc quite substantial enough to ensure the safety of the eggs, though naturally no eggs should be sent which have not shells of moderate thickness. An ordinary wooden box may be used, where the expense of buying boxes is not desired. Each egg should be wrapped in stiffish paper, sufficient being used to square off at the corners to form a cushion A thick layer of hay or straw at the top nnd bottom will then suffice, provided the contents are Light and cannot possibly work loose. The fact that valuable eggs for sitting are commonly sent. in this way shows that there need be no risk of breakages if the package receives reasonable treatment. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. If S. T."—A LAWN AS A CHICKEN RUN.— There is no need to fence in your lawn if you are going to let your coop with the hen and chickens stand upon it: The chickens will not, run very far away from the mother ben, and they can do little harm while still so young to the neighbouring borders. Keep the lawn well mowed, so that the grass does not get long. end your chickens will be all the better, for long grass retains the moisture, and this will cause illness nmong the youngst rs.

For (B) you should fold the material over widthwise, to the width of the apron, place the centre to the fold, when, should it be double-width, you will have a lengthways strip for the pocket. You can, of course, if you prefer it, make this by merely turning up the lower portion and securing the ends by stitching them, when you could use the whole width of the material for the apron. To make (A), stitch upper and lower leg- seams together, neater, then stitch on wraps of side-opening, which must be firmly stitched and neatoned at lower portion's; then gather knee-parts, make and stitch into bands, when the waist-part can be finished off io corre- spond, the buttonholes made, and buttons sewn on to fasten with.
