| to hear any one person deal very long
on that subject, with the exception
of James ShackletOn, who stated few
things of value concerning them, but
his writings are short and sweet. He
was too brief on this subject, but
probably did not know that potatoes
were all easily obtained feed in this
section. There are very few people
who know the real value of this food
and what are it's contents with re-
latiOn to other feed-stuffs containing
starch as a body, namely, "carbohy
drates."
Potatoes are a food that can be
very easily digested, and are of I'M
limited value in this respect. The
skins are absolutely harmless, when
they are not in a state Of semi-decay
or state Of decay, for poison in them
does not show itself until the carbonic
action takes place. The pure food
composition of these tubers does not
contain perfect nutritive ratio, but,
i'll combination with other fOOd-stuffs,
will be found an excellent food e1e-
ment
There is about 80 per cent of water
contained in potatoes, with two per
cent protein and 10 per cent carbo-
hydrates The latter is considered to
be starch, or sugar in the form of
starch, not yet converted into sugar
Since the good points of this feed
have been explained, it will be neces-
sary to say that there is not "all honey
in potatoes as a feed" Much depends
on the digestion of the starch, of
the combination, that is the diges-
ton, without fermentation, in cOmblna-
ton with substances containing acids.
Starch will not be digested purely, but
will go through process of fermen
tatiOn first, giving cause for the action
Of gastric juices and the acids and
gases thereof to cause trouble in the
system. In the human this symptom
would be called a headache; in the
chicken we are at a loss to call it at
all, for we do not know how the chick
EN- feels.
Cooking of the tubers will, if we'll
done, aid digestion, but if not cooked
we'll, the cooking will only give more
opportunity for the action of fermen-
tatiOn. With this continued fermen-
tive action and the troublesome symp-
toms OF gastric fermentation what is
called a "dislOcated stomach or
crop" will be the result That means
that the muscles of the crop forget
to contract to their proper place after
being expanded with the gastric fer
mentation, and the result is what is
commonly called crop bound"
This action of the starches in pOta-
toes is relative to all starches, and
more SO in the case of half-cooked
cereals and grains in which the starch
contents are very large.
From experiment it has been shown
that a very little acid will be neces-
sary to stop perfect digestion and pro-

Feeding For Eggs.

A hen which does not lay eggs is
an expensive article to keep on farm.
Yet there are many whose hens do
not lay enough to pay for their feed.
Sometimes it is because the hen is
not properly fed. We do not like corn
for this climate, nor any other, ex
cept at the north in very old weather.
The following from the Northwestern
Agriculturist contains hints which may
be valuable to you:
BY observation as we'll as experience
we obtain much information that as
ssts us materially in our life work,
whether upon the farm or in any other
avocation. For many years past I
have fed my pigs swill composed Of
added, in troughs. The hens had access
to them, and | observed them Aocking
around the troughs eating with avidity.
So [ concluded to give the matter
a thorough test, realizing that in egg
production, as we'll as in that of milk,
the hens require feed having a large
per cent of protein. Early last winter
[ commenced feeding them in their
yards, the above mixture, adding more
shorts; also fed wheat and oats I
fed them no corn, for they had access
to it at all times. But | observed they
would eat but little corn when they
could get something better. | will
say, in connection, they had access to
coal seedlings, also as the weather
grew colder, | would occasionally mix
a little red pepper in feed, and they
would go around singing of mornings
when the mercury was playing about
zero mark.
The result was very satisfactory, for
we got eggs every day; many days
from three to six dozen from ninety
five hens. 1 met a neighbor one morn
ing in January and asked him how
many eggs they were getting. well,
sir" he said, 1--WE haven't had an egg
for over three months and have ninety
as fine laying eggs as there are in
the country" [ told him we had been
selling eggs every week, frequently at
twenty-five cents per dozen. what
do you do for your hens?" he asked.
| gave him my plan, then I wanted
to know what he fed his hens. He
replied, ''They have corn crib and
corn pile to run to. And now and
then little oats. My wife wanted to
feed them wheat, but [ objected"
Meeting him shortly afterwards he
said: Say, that plan of yours works
fine. My wife sold fourteen dozen last
Saturday at twenty-five cents a dOzen.'
| would say to those who have never
adopted the above plan to try it and
note results.

duce fermentation; hence the raw idea
of allowing hens to run III an orchard
and eat green fruit, while at the same
time they are led on grain and other
starch substances. 1t has been shown
that fowls have died from the effect
of fermentation of starchy foods caused
by an acid in another food, when the
death was at first supposed to have
been from some other cause.

Tie Income From a Hen.

Professor Gilbert, of the Ottawa,
Canada, Experiment Station, figures
the income from hen as follows:
One hundred eggs from hen for one
year, at one cent each, $I.oo; ten
chicks Matched by her, at 10 cents each,
$1.oo; body of hen to sell or eat, rs
cents; total, $2.25. Deduct cost Of hen
for year and we have $I.25. No &C
count is made of the manure, which
is worth at least rs cents per hen if
applied to the soil.

TEN WEEKS FOR TEN CENTS.
Until further notice we will send the Agri-
culturist ten weeks for cents to new sub
scribers only.

TWINS AND A
MARRIAGE MAKE
CLEVER MIx-UP

Toledo, o., June 2S-Louis J.
Schultz was married to his sister-in-
law, Rose Schultz today, and the
marriage brings an odd tangle in re-
lationship in the family. Several
years ago Louis Schultz was married
to the sister of his bride of today,
and his present bride, some years
ago, was married to his brother.
Louis and his brother were twins,
and Rosa and her sister were twins
So twin sisters and twin brothers
were married. ~
First the wife of Louis died and left
him q widower. Then a little later
the husband Of Rosa died, leaving
her a widow. Now both are together.
