Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
to give money to charity or
CARNATIONS. hospitals and other phi.
l%anthropic undertakings. One day a
charity worker asked Senator Flint
OF California, who is not a wealthy
man, to give a large sum of money
for a free ward in one of the hos
pitfalls.
II am sorry hat / cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but. judging from the num-
Der of similar demands that have been
made upon me In the past, l have de-
cided that I can promote a greater
charity. The vast amount of money
spent on hospitals in this town con-
vinces me that thousands of people

Try to build up a reputation for prime

and then fatten. Big combed broil-

Poultrymen-With Grain Make
Excellent Ration.

The fact that sunflower seeds maxi

ciated by all. With any grain they
make q well balanced ration. These
flowers grow well upon all irrigated
tracts. The growth Is very rapid and
the large broad leaves afford excellent
shade for the young chicks. 1t is al.
ways a wise policy to plant the seeds
SO that they can be conveniently used.
The falling seeds are thus saved and
the shade afforded is very valuable.
Sunhowers grow and produce the
largest heads whe'. planted In rows
and cared for like corn. 1t is always
advisable to allow the heads to be-
come thoroughly ripe before harvest
ing. Cut as little of the stalk off with
the heads as possible. The heads are
conveniently fed whole, especially
during the winter months. When fed
IN this way 1t will be found hat the
leeds are relished by the fowls.
When the poultry is melting there
is no better feed known. Wheat and
m1llet re sometimes fed with the
feed. This makes a ration
very valuable. not only because of
Its ahording a VARIETY but because of
the valuable feed constituents that
tnese grains contain. This ration,
with an occasional feed of fresh meat,
