ash per acre from the soil. Only heavy

potash such soils contain Is largely uu-

dencient in potash, and what they
nave Is not in an available form for

ScOrChcd Grain for Hena.

Where hens are fed large amounts Of
corn newly husked. and not thorough
ly dried. their digestive apparatus be-
comes disordered. This is often reme-
died by heating the corn to the point
of scorching. Hens will eat this
scorched corn quite readily. and they
will be the better for it. But partly
burned oats where the hulls are burn
ed or and only the blackened grains
are left are even better than scorched
corn. This is really the best way to
feed oats to hens. The bulls make
the food more bulky than is best for
them. as their crops are limited, and
the light, chaffy grain does not give
sufficient nutrition for the best egg
production.
