If poultry keepers have the will only courage to carry on " and look well ahead , they will be well rewarded for all their labours . With the coming of peace the poultry industry will enjoy a great boom . For years after the war the demand for gooo util- ity birds will greatly exceed the stock . Therefore as a patriotic and profitable duty , breed as many birds this coming season as possible . Food is dear and will be dearer but the price of eggs will always be corres- pondangly high , and , help you to foot the bill and have a bit over . The back - yarder can and ought to use all household " scraps " ( never , of course , anything fit for human con- sumption ) for the hen's mash , along with boiled up cabbage and other vegetable leaves . Eggs are a great boon - in fact , almost essen- tial to their health and welfare - to the wounded and all invalids and young children , The only place where animals can be dis- and it is " up to " the poultry keepers to see sected within 14 miles of Leominster .

Two and three - quarter pounds of potatoes produce the same energy as 1 lb. of bread . " WHAT FOOD - SAVING IS . Four definitions by a Military Service Com- missioner- ( 1 ) Food - saving is the most fundamental of war work . ( 2 ) Food - saving is the most loyal response to the ideals for which the Allies are at war . ( 3 ) Food - saving is the truest expression of " bearing each other's burdens " and so fulfilling the Law of Christ . ( 4 ) Food saving is the surest avenue of self- discipline and culture of the soul . HEALTHY PATRIOTISM . People who foolishly imagine that they are going to be half - starved under the new rations will be relieved to know that all the medical and health authorities are agreed that the allowance is more than ample . The " Lancet " expressed this warm approval of the new rations " The scheme bears evidence of be- ing well thought out from the economic point of view , while it provides a physiological sufficiency . The individual who loyally enters into the spirit of the scheme is helping to win the war , and is doing so in contradiction_to no law of physiology or of medicine . rationing suggested is eminently reasonable and designed to inflict no excessive hardship on anyone ; it is easily a living allowance . " POTATO FLOUR . The one " By next year , " says Dr. Campbell , of the expert advisers at the Ministry of " factories will Food , be producing potato flour for bread - making without special machin- ery , the lack of which now prevents large bak- eries from using potatoes .
