Ample Room Secret
To Broiler Raising
Each Bird Needs 0.6
Square Feet oi Space
There’s good money in broiler
fs&ing, providing efficient and
scientific production methods are
(employed. Proper housing that gives
(Sufficient room is a “must” for a
successful broiler operation. The
University of Delaware agricultural
experiment station has found that
In this sections lly-built poul
try house, which is 16 feet wide
sad 60 feet long, an Indiana
broiler producer raises 1,200
three-pound broilers every 10
or 11 weeks.
“broilers should be allowed at
least 0.6 of a square foot per bird.”
For the farmer who wishes to
start raising broilers in a modest
way and develop the business grad
ually, there is available an “ex
pandable,” sectionally-built poultry
house that is ideal. The four-foot
sections may be added as required.
Some poultry raisers have such
buildings 300 feet long, but they may
be made as long as required.
These arched-roof buildings are
strongly built on a framework of
laminated wood rafters and cov
ered with Masonite tempered hard-
board, which weathers well and
is durable. Their curved shape pro
vides ample headroom, and there
are no interior pillars to take up
room and impede movement.
Summing up the effects of crowd
ing, the experiment station says:
“Rate of growth, uniformity of
gr >wth, feed consumption, cost per
pound of broiler, and pounds of
broilers sold per chick started are
production factors adversely af
fected by crowding broilers.”
Northern States Alerted
To Cattle Health Threat
Cattle owners in states along the
Canadian border are warned to be
on guard for outbreaks of bovine
anaplasmosis.
This is a malaria-like blood dis
ease of cattle that was once con
sidered mainly a problem of the
south and west, where it causes
multimillion dollar losses. Now vet
erinarians also are finding the dis
ease in northern states formerly
considered free of it.
Reporting on the problem, the
American Veterinary Medical As
sociation said that some cases re
cently diagnosed in Minnesota were
so mild they escaped the owner’s
attention. Other cases were passed
off as some sort of poisoning,
simply because nobody figured
anaplasmosis would be striking that
far north.
Cattle that recover from it re
main as carriers, and many of them
have been shipped from the badly
infected areas to northern states.
They look healthy but have ana
plasmosis germs in their blood and
are a ready source of infection for
other cattle.
Nine-Ounce Egg
Rufus Jennings of Oak Knoll
farm is shown wi'.h a nine-ounce
egg laid by one of his 5,000 New
Hampshire hens recently. Jen
nings found no dead bird indi
cating that the hen survived.
The egg is the largest to be
weighed on an ordinary egg
scale and tops previous U.S.
mark of eight and one-half
ounces set by Windham, N.H.,
hen. The Windham hen died.
Nebraska Radio-Active
Phosphorus Test Planned
Ot fertilizer tests with radio-ac
tive phosphorus are slated for sev
eral places in Nebraska this spring.
Robert A. Olson, who will be in
charge of the tests, said the in
vestigation will be made to find
how much phosphorus delivery
power there is in several Nebras
ka soils. Tests will also show what
proportions of the phosphorus
which is used by oats comes from
the soil.
Serve an Appetising Tray at Snacktime!
(Set Recipes Below)
Appetising Ideas
ONE OF THE nicest ways to en
tertain is just to ask friends to drop
in for a snack. If you’ve been in
vited to a church supper or a large
family get-to
gether, have
friends drop in to
visit you, and
then all go to
gether.
Snacking is ' a
popular and in
formal way of
entertaining during afternoons and
evenings. Nibbling while you chat or
play games, listen to music or watch
programs is an easy way to serve
food. Just put out a tray of snacks
along with a pitcher of chilled
fruit or vegetable juice and let
guests help themselves.

HERE’S AN old-fashioned onion
cake which may be served warm
with chilly vegetable juice. It’s
ideal for eating before dinner or for

A LAZY SUSAN is an excellent
way of serving snack, but if you
don’t have one, arrange four or
five small pottery bowls on a round
tray and fill each bowl with a dif
ferent appetizer. Place a bowl of
potato chips in the center for dip
ping into the “dunk” mixtures.
Cream Cheese-Pickle “Dunk”

Veal Loaf Triangles
Spread thin slices of canned veal
loaf with a soft bharp cheese and
stack three together; chill. Cut into
triangles and spea with a tooth
pick. Wrap well in waxed paper and
refrigerate until serving time.
LYNN SAYS:
Make Simple Suppers
Satisfying Meals
A cheese sandwich gives you a
hearty and tasty supper if you
spread the bread enclosing it in a
bit of mustard. Dip the sandwich in
egg and milk mixture and fry until
golden brown. Serve with broiled
Canadian bacon.
Canned corned beef hash becomes
something of a treat when you
brown it in the skillet until crisp
and serve with scrambled eggs
over the top.

How Nations Decay
##mHE mortality rate of nations is
* 1009k.” So Dr. T. W. Lingle
used to put the fact that no nation
yet has lived forever. They all die
sooner or later. What kills them?
The student of his
tory may delve in
to such books as
Gibbon’s “Decline
and Fall of the Ro
man Empire” or
Spengler’s pessi
mistic “Decline of
the West”, or Toyn
bee’s more optimis
tic six-v o 1 u m e
“Study of History.” Dr. Foreman
But when the juice has been
squeezed out of these learned and
interesting volumes, the Truth’s es
sence turns out to be much the
same as what we can find by read
ing the Old Testament. True, the
nations under the Old Testament
lens are not big empires like Rome,
still less like the British Empire;
the kingdom of Israel was only
about 106 miles long and 60 miles
wide, while the kingdom of Judah
was smaller than many an Ameri«
can county.
• • •
Promise
W HEN Solomon died, the king
dom he had inherited from
David had already shrunk. After
his death, what was left immedi
ately split into two kingdoms, the
one on the south called Judah and
the one in the north called Israel.
The nation of Israel, which
lasted more than 200 years, be
gan with great promise. Indeed,
one of God’s prophets (I Kings
II) had given to Jeroboam, the
first king, the same promise
which had been given David, of
an enduring kingdom on con
dition of obedience to God.
Everything seemed to be favor
able. Israel had more territory than
most of her neighbors had, a far
more productive soil, and easy ac<
cess to transportation.
• • •
Crash
r RAEL should have succeeded;
but it failed. Only a little more
than 200 years afterwards, no very
great age as nations go, it crashed
completely, never to rise again.
When the walls of its “impregna
ble” capital city of Samaria, after
a two-year siege, fell to the batter
ing-rams of the Assyrian army, and
over 27,000 leading citizens were
deported, that was the end of Is.
rael for £ood and all.
How did this happen?
Hie Hebrew historian ties
everything into a few words
when he says that they wrought
wicked things . . . they rejected
God’s statutes * . . they served
idols.
But what were the details? What,
in particular, did the nation of Is
rael do that was wicked?
Reading the prophet Amos will
give many of the answers. At the
time he preached, by all chamber-
of-commerce standards Israel was
at the peak of production and pros
perity. But he foresaw doom around
the corner, and he gave reasons.
He called a spade a spade. Read
ing him, or even reading the bald
er accounts in Kings, we can see
the collapse was no mystery.
• • •
Other Gods
a NE thing fundamentally wrong
with Israel was idolatry. This
was not the simple matter of
making carved images; it meant
taking some other “god” to be the
true God.
We know what the religions
of Chemish and Molech and .
Baal were like; they were thor
oughly bad. In the law of the
true God, life and purity were
regarded as sacred; life and
purity under these other gods
were held cheap. But one can
see from reading Amos that
what the people of Israel real
ly worshipped was still another
idol to whom no statue was
erected: their own pleasures.
Too many citizens didn’t care
what happened to the country, so
long as they could get their liquor.
Well, let us not read the Old Testa
ment from mere curiosity. What
about our own nation, our own peo
ple and times? The United Steward
ship Council (now the Joint De
partment of Stewardship of the Na
tional Council of the Churches of
Christ in the U. S. A.) reports that
every year since 1934, excepting
1936, has shown an increase in
giving through the churches.
But—the percent of this increase
is not so large as the increase of
annual income. The increase for
contributions through the church of
God is less, far less, than the in
crease in spending for alcoholic
liquors, soft drinks, candy, football
games, jewelry, and a multitude of
other things. We, like Israel, are
putting God last!

“Oh, no,” replied the homeown
