CORN DIET FOR HENS.
Many POUitrymen Advocate 1t. Al
though Grain II Not by Any
Means an Ideal Ration.

One reason why farmers do not re-
allze more from their poultry, | believe,
is because they make corn the main
diet. Corn is considered, by them to
be the cheapest feed and the handiest
to feed, for, by throwing it out on the
ear, the hens are given more OF less
exercise in picking it off, hence the
owner is saved the labor of scattering
the grain in the litter for the fowls
to scratch out. But have little faith
in this plan of exercising and feeding
fowls, says V. NJ. Couch in the Poultry
Monthly. With a good many farm
ers corn is probably cheap food, but
even this depends somewhat upon the
season OF the year, the climate and
whether the hens have free range or
not. In cold weather corn may be fed
quite literally to laying stock without
injury, and also to fowls having farm
range, but when given in the way that
many feed it, by spreading it on the
ground before the hens three times
day, all they will eat, believe that it
is expensive hen feed. Very many at
tribute the increase of eggs IT, corn,
when, in fact, the corn has produced
eggs more by keeping the hens warm
than through the supply of egg Gle.
ments afforded.
Eggs cannot be made to any great
extent by corn alone, or for a long
time. for the reason that n hen fed
nothing but corn will be unable to
supply the mineral elements of the
eggs, and while she may by eating
largely of corn find sufficient nitrogen
for an egg, she will sooner or later be-
come excessively fat from too much
carbon. A very economical and good
feed for winter egg production is a
mixture of clover, cut in half-inch
lengths and scalded, with corn meal
and bran. This is very complete ra-
ton on all the elements necessary for
eggs. ltsupplies bulky food, promotes
digestion, affords a variety and costs
less than any other food that I have
been able to get. When a hen leaves
corn for other feed, it means that she
wants something not fully supplied
by corn. Without exception, the best
results may be had from varied diet,
and while q hen may do very welt on
corn, she will do better on a variety.
1t is not an easy matter to make up
perfectly balanced ration for lay
ing hen. While she is producing eggs
she will use vast amount of raw ma
terial, but if she stops laying corn
diet will soon ruin her. A concentrate
ed food for hens should be avoided.
Milk added daily to other food assists
largely in supplying many needed ele-
ments not easily obtained from other
sources. Glover, vegetables. milk,
meat and corn or wheat are better than
any single article.

Mr.. C. L. Smith of 500 Anne St., the
Sec'y. of the Trades Council has writ
ten this startling statement for pub
LEGATION.
II feel it my duty to make public
the facts of my recent illness and re-
covery. I was very sick and sore, and
had to walk with the aid of two
canes. 1t was a very painful attack,
but don't know what it was. Some
said it was Lumbago, and others that
it was Sciatica or rheumatism.
II was told to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and began a treatment. After
[ had used one box I could walk with
one cane, and after two boxes were
used could walk without any help.
I kept on and three boxes cured me
completely.

a pain or an ache and I can very truly
say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worthy of my greatest praise

Fresh Vegetables for Hens.

Hens deprived of green foods will
not lay as we'll as when their needs in
this direction are attended to. All the
turnips, beets, carrots and roots OF
all kinds, large and small, should be
saved and given them. These veg
etables and herbs are good for poultry,
COWS and hogs. They are good sub
stitute for green food for hens. Peel.
ings of potatoes, turnips and veg
etables of all kinds, including apple
peeiings, should be saved for the poul:
try. Cut up fine and boiled and mixed
with mash feed for the fowls, this
furnishes them splendid food. Such
savings will be worth dollar a bushcl
in winter and will do the hens more
good than they could do the hogs if fed
to them.-Eastern Shore Farmer.

RefOrestfnE Waste Regions.

There is much land that will not
be again valuable for generations
except to the state. In the refor-
esting of lands the adjacent prop
erty is often as greatly benefited as
the area in forest. The state can
thus derive a larger revenue from
the work than can any private indi-
vidual. The state can afford to re-
forest land even if the annual direct
income from the reforested area be
only one per cent, for the people of
the state reap other benefits from it.
No private individual can afford to
invest money with so slight annual
returns.-Farmers' Review.

fair day the horses are turned out in
the large paddocks, and when taken

cut before they are quite ripe, cured
thoroughly and then stcwed away for
winter food. If the oats are run

grown so bitterly estranged to US, be-

But here at any rate was break

err preparations we could make for our
defense, and high though I knew
Phorence's genius to be, I did not
see how she could very we'll do other

[ set a guard on the ramparts of the
uppermost gate to watch all possible

others to go and find the rest which
so much they needed.
For myself, dutifully I tried to find
Zaemon first, going on the errand my
proper self, for there was little
enough of kingly state observed on
the Sacred Mountain, although the
name and title had been given me.
But Zaemon was not to be come at.
He was engaged inside the Ark of
Mysteries, with another of the three,
and, being myself only one of the
seven, | had not rank enough in the
priesthood to break in upon their
workings. And so I was free to turn
where my lil1ings would have led me
first, and that was to the house which
sheltered Nais.
She walked as I came in over the
threshold, and her eyes filled with a
welcome for me. I went across and
knelt where she lay, putting my face
On the pillow beside her. She was
full of tender talk and sweet endear-
ments. Gods! What an infinitv of
delight 1 had missed by Woodworking
my Nais earlier! But she had will
of her own through it all, and some
quaint conceits which made kcr all
the more adorable.
Phorenice, it seemed, had more
rage against the Priests clan on the
mountain and more bright genius to
help her to vengeance than I had
credited. Her troops stormed easily
the gates we had left to them. and

TIMELY POULTRY NOTES.

1t never pays to have a bad egg in
the basket.
Look out for draughts in the poultry
house. Draughts mean roup.
In cold weather the fowls will enjoy
a feed of warmed grain occasionally.
Give them corn parched until black and
crisp.
Oyster or clam shells (broken),
green stuffs and plenty of pure water
should always be at hand for the lay
ing hens.
Breed the fowls you like best. There
is no best breed. Quite as much de-
ponds on the man as the fowl. Choose
one or two good breeds, and stick to
them.-N. Y. Trihune-Farmer.

was little delay In getting tire scheme
in movement. Already had sent
men to the storehouses among the
priests dwellings, to fetch me rams
and crows and acids and hammers,
and such other material as was need
ed, and these stood handy behind one
of the upper gates. l put on every
pair of hands that could be spared to
the work, no matter what was their
age and fccbleness; yes, if Nais could
have walked so far 1 would have
pressed her for the labor; and pres
emily carved balustrade and wayside
statue, together with the lettered
wall stones and the foot-worn cob
blcs roared down into the gulf below,
and added their din to the shricks
and wells and crashes of the fighting.
Gods! but it was hateful task,
smashing down that splendid handi-
work of the mon of the past. but it
was better that it should crash down
to ruin in the abyss below than that
Phorenice should profane it with her
impiOus sandals.
At first I had feared that it would
be necdful to sacrifice the knot OF
brave men who were so valiantly de-
Tending the gate then being attacked.
1t is disgusting to be forced into Il
measure of this kind, but in hard
warfare it is often ncedful to the car

eral to leave Il part of his troops to
fight to finish, and without hope OF

all he can do for their rewar: is to
commend them earnestly to the care
of the gods. But when the work of
destroying the pathway was nearly
completed, I saw Il chance of retriev-
ing them.
So I gave the word for one more
furious avalanche of rock to be pelted
down, and while the few living were
crawling out from those killed by the
discharge, and while the next band
of reenforcements came scramhling
up over the bodies, I sent my nine re-

them after us, and breaking the bars
and levers with which they were

the last did the roar of shouts from
below tell that the besiegers had
found the gate they bit against was
deserted.
One by one we balanced our way
across the narrow ledge which was
left where the path had been de-
stroyed, and one poor priest that car
ried 4 wound grew giddy and lost his
balance here, and toppled down to his
death in the abyss below before a
hand could be stretched out to steady
him. And then. when we were all
over, heat was put to the rams, and
they expanded with their resistless
force. and tore the remaining lodges
from their hold in Ne rock. I think
a pang went through us all then when

Rational Rntions for Colts.

No general rules can be laid down
for the feeding of colts; but, as in the
case of the calf, it is very necessary
that proper care should be exercised
in the selection of foods. Cows milk
may be substituted, if necessary, for
that of: the mare. The colt should be
taught to eat grains, any of which may
be fed to advantage; the choice would
depend on. ruling prices. At times,
when the colts are teething, it will be
found more profitable to warm and
moisten the grain ration. Hay of first
quality, preferably alfalfa, should be
fed in conjunction with the grain, SO

system.M. Z. Jaffa, in Farmers Re
