COST OF FEEDING CHICKENS
Interesting Experiments Made by Ore
gon Station-Lareer Breeds Eat
More Than Smaller.

How much does It really cost to
feed a laying hen a year? TO this
question there will be many answers,
Some will say one thing, some an,
other. but how about the facts?
In experiments made by the Oregon
experiment station, covering several
years, In which every ounce Of food
was weighed. six pens Of Leghorn
hens consumed during the year 5t4
pounds of wheat. 296 pounds Of corn,
203 pounds of oats, ll2 pounds Of
bran and shorts and 235 pounds Of
skim milk, in addition to some animal
food. The cost of the total food per
fowl for the year varied in different
pens from 81 to IS cents, and aver
aged &C cents.
The wheat was charged at | cent
a pound. corr at IA, oats at | cent.
skim milk at 10 OF a cent and bran
and shorts at 3-5 of a cent. The ami
NAL food cost from 8 to 6 cents per
fowl. The wheat constituted nearly
a half Of the total cost. The hens laid
an average Of l44 eggs per fowl, val
ued at sl.6S, at local prices for eggs.
The prices we're from 10 cents to 25
cents per dozen. II wheat had been
worth, say, 80 cents, and had been
charged for at that rate, and bran at
! cent a pound, the cost per fowl
would have been about l6 cents more,
or so cents instead Of 66 cents.
On the basis of prices when the ex-
pertinent was made, food costing so
cents when fed to hens produces eggs
worth $2.5S. This is a pretty good
margin Of profit In feeding 90-cent
wheat. 1t may be said that the aver
age flock OF hens does not lay l44
eggs per fowl. That is true. It is
also true that IA eggs per fowl Is not
phenomenal. Ehe right kind of hens
properly attended should average $50
and wellbred hens considerably more.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form Of hulnOr appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when |
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the combteeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intO!erable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, ray burn. II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs, This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. | was
in despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
sometimes the pain was so great
that. when partially awake, | would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. | could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then | would
wake up nearly Wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, ! now decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
| used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago. there was a slight re-
turn Of the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp | used about one half a cake
of GAticura Soap and half a box of
Cuttcura Ointment In all. The first
time J. took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticula Pills and the last time three
bottNs-neither an expensive or te-
dioUa treatment. Since then | have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had it not been

The law requires that no person shall

Chaplain Dailam met these conditions and
was appointed to the 18TH Infantry in
