DRESSED  POULTRY 
The  cooler  weather  prevailing  has  improved 
the  outlook,  though  there  Is  still  a  surplus  of 
low-grade  fresh  killed  chickens  and  turkeys, 
which  are  evidently  being  disposed  of  in  this 
elinpo  because  of  high  feed  prices.  No  Thanks¬ 
giving  b tininess  is  under  way  at  this  writing, 
but  the  outlook  is  that  poultry  lit  really  holiday 
condition  will  sell  high,  Turkeys  on  free  range 
“pick  their  living”  to  a  larger  extent  and  lon¬ 
ger  In  the  season  than  chickens.  The  latter 
are  always  crying  for  feed,  uiid  (Ids  year  it  has 
been  the  aim  of  umuy  poultry  men  to  work  them 
off  as  broilers  as  early  as  possible.

Simple  Directions  for  Making 
the  Best  Concrete 
GOOD  concrete  is  as  important  on  the  farm  as  it  is  in  a  great  work  of 
engineering.  Whether  you  do  the  work  yourself  or  have  it  done  for 
you,  you  should  be  familiar  with  the  means  of  obtaining  the  best  results. 
Good  concrete  results  from  knowing  how,  and  it  is  easy  to  know  how 
by  following  a  few  simple  rules  which  have  been  worked  out  by  men  of 
experience.  Where  these  rules  are  followed,  satisfaction  will  be  sure. 
You  Can  Get  This  Information  Free 
_ , — - -  \  from  a  little  book  we  have  prepared: 
“Proportioning  Concrete  Mixtures 
and  Mixing  and  Placing  Concrete.”  It 
tells  you  all  about  concrete;  what  it  is; 
how  to  mix  and  place  it;  what  the  right 
materials  are;  howto  proportion  them; 
how  to  judge  good  sand,  pebbles  and 
crushed  stone;  how  to  screen  and 
wash  them;  how  to  figure  quantities. 
If  you  have  had  experience  in  han¬ 
dling  concrete,  the  directions  may  im¬ 
prove  your  work;  if  you  have  not  had 
experience,  they  will  make  it  easy  for 
you  to  learn  how.
