Skim Milk for Hens.

SKINNED milk is valuable protein
feed if fed in not too large quaint
ties. Experiments carried on by the
West Virginia Experiment Station
with several pens of birds and repeat
ed two years in succession showed
an increase of approximately one egg
for every quart of milk fed, or, to ba
more exact, a total gain of 702 eggS
from S02 quarts Of milk fed during
the experiments. This gave a feeding
value of l 1-2 cents 70 cents per
quart for the milk. In these expert
ments the milk was used to moisten
the mash feed and was given at the
rate of approximately one quart pen
day for each ten hens. Milk may a1so
be given sweet as a drink OF fed when
completely curdled. In feeding alone
the dishes in which it is fed mus be
kept clean and should be frequently
scalded.

A special dispatch to the Louis

states that Mr.. T. B. Kirkpatrick
has again been appointed post master
at this place.
This ends a long and bitter strug-
gle for the post office, as this con-
test has been known as one of the
warm numbers that were before the
department. for decision. Mr. Kirkpat-
rick was a candidate for reappoant-
ment 10 the office and from first to
last three were several opponents and
some of them with strong political
backing. However Mr.. kirkpatrick
won out and the Herald is prepared
to say and by relsno Of stsi knowledge
of the manner in which the office has
been conducted, that Mr.. Kirkpatrick's
winning card was what 1T should have
be,sn-the admirable manner in which
he had conducted the business of the
office. Those patrons who have busi-
ness with the office knew that he
had given 1t time and attention AMI
they, wanted him retained Added to
this influence was that of the Lin
colin Farm Association whose mixer
ests demanded a first class office
here and the officials of the Associa-
ton lent him helping hand.

that he will be as attentive in the
future as in the past and that is al
