son the care-taker simply scatters the
grain at intervals and fills the hop
pers where they require it. The fowls
obtain most of their nourishment from
the grain which is scattered on the
litter, for they prefer that to the dry
mash as a rule, but to balance their
ration they select the beef scraps,
bran, etc, from the hopper whenever
their appetites demand it.
Nature, says The Farmer, never in

fowls should crowd their crops full

system claim that their system Is

that there is good foundation for this

Slowly but surely the work of mix

dropped from the poultryman's rou-
tine. In its place the fowls receive
the ground grains, beef scraps, etc,
which usually constitute the body Of
this mash, mixed dry and fed in
troughs or hoppers. This method of
feeding began to be exploited In New
England not much more than half a
decade ago, where it proved success.

westward. Now dry feeding is the
method on large per cent of the
practical poultry farms whore the
problem is TO get the most income for
the least outlay
In summer the growing chick not
only has the ingredients of the mash
constantly within reach, but also the
whole and cracked grains, the beef
scraps, charcoal and grit With these
always accessible the chick does not
frequently fill his crop TO its capacity,
but cats whatever he requii as to salts

run about the fields, catching and de-

a Dinner Dilemma.

IL was an awkward dilemma In
which minister found himself day
or so ago. He had accepted an invita-
ton to dine with member OF his
church. and rack his brain as he
might he could not fix the identity oi
the prospective hostess. At last. after
much mental exercise, he concluded
that the most likely person was Mrs
A., and at the proper hour he touch
ed the bell button at her door, was
admitted, and hung up his hat, not
daring to ask If that was the house tc
which he had been invited. Dinner
was announced In due time and was
heartily enjoyed by the minister. who
after couple of hours spent in con
versation, departed for his home
chuckling over his success in so hap
PLY solving the dinner problem. Vt
next afternoon the minister chancet
