mash. The main advantage Of this
method Is the extra labor involved. in
a well-arranged house when a dry
mash is fed in hoppers one man can
feed 1000 hens In about half hour
AS ordinarily fed wet mash for 1000
birds requires at least two hours for
mixing and distributing the feed.
Roughage for Hens.
Where alfalfa meal is fed the de-
mand for succulent roughage is de-
creased Even In this case, however,
the addition OF succulent clover or al
falfa hay is beneficial Root crops
play an important role In the dietary
of poultry. Mangels may be fed en-
tire once a day In troughs. Cabbages
are best fed by suspending them by
cords to keep them clean. An addi
tional advantage is obtained here
through the extra exercise necessary
for the fowl to secure the feed. Where
available sprouted oats can be fed.
Carrots In small amounts are very
palatable and tempting to the flock.
Glover chaff can be fed wet or dry
and Is very economical egg producer
Begin to feed the green stuff and
mangles as early in the autumn as pos
sible.
Glover Good for Poultry.
Steaming clover hay increases Its
palatability greatly. II free from long
fiber, clover is an excellent feed to miz
with bran, table scraps, or with reg
ular mash. A convenient way Of hand
ling the poultry flock is to thoroughly
bed down the house with straw in the
fall and then to add forkful Of clover
or alfalfa hay every day until the lit
ter begins to get dirty. The house
should then be cleaned, the straw re
placed by clean litter, and the daily
forkful Of clover or alfalfa continued.
The importance Of litter cannot bt
overestimated as a means OF com
pelling the birds to exercise in oh
tanning their food. A generous allow

works out excellently for winter feed

Didn't Think Bride Necessary,

"A queer thing happened here re-
Gently" said Lawyer Nathan G. Fos-
ter "A few weeks ago a fellow and
girl came here and asked me to marry
them. They did not know that a IL
cense was required, so l went with
them to the clerks Office and they ar
ranged the matter. l told them to
come back at a stated time and I
would marry them.
THE day designated the fellow

to be married. Where's the young

night so that the hens have some
thing to eat Immediately after leaving
their perches In the early morning.
This accounts for the generous allow.
ance Of grain which Is absolutely nec.
essary In the litter. II no grain Ia
left in the litter the birds should re.
ceive their first feed by daylight for
best returns. A very detrimental prao
tise on the general farm is to finish all
the morning chores before feeding the
poultry. The hens as a result remain
on their perches too long, so no In
centive urges them to get down and
exercise, This common mistake Ii
one Of the fundamental errors which
results in a diminished egg produc
ton.
Grit for the flock should be fur
nished by putting load Of gravel IN
the house each year. Oyster shell
should also be constantly accessible
for the flock, 1t may be placed In an
inexpensive hopper where the birds
can easily reach II, Charcoal is an
other article of Indispensable value
around the poultry house, Clean, pure
water In sanitary dishes should al
ways be available for the fowls.
Feed Generous Ration.
An essential factor In poultry feed
ing is to furnish a liberal, correctly
balanced, fattening and growing ra
tion. To merely supply the dock with
maintenance ration is not sufficient
Besides maintaining bodily vigor anC
health the hen must produce eggs ant
on this account requires an amount o
feed in excess OF that required foI
mere maintenance. Where q well bal
anced ration is supplied In abundance
and where the flock have plenty Of ex
ercise, the birds will not become over
fat. but will maintain good thrift an
will produce quantity OF good qua
lty eggs

LONE MANS EXPERIENCE WITH

slammed the oven door and heaped
wood on the fire in order that 1t rise

1t is not necessary to say the man
was alone. 1t might be we'll to say,
gone off on visit, and lest some
think him insane, to state that he had
been reading recipes in the Women S

out
The Home Guide was explicit in say

kitchen, found all the ingredients

he began making cake.
1t should have been a good cake
for he had been very careful. True
he couldn't remember the difference
between tablespoon and teaspoon
full until he had put three tablespoon
fuls of baking powder in-heapini
spoonfuls-but. as everybody knows
that should make the cake lighter.
One OF the eggs looked bit pale
and washed out, and he rejected that

tie sugar to the quantity, because h
liked cake sweet. But, generally speak
ing, he had made the cake according t.
directions.
He cautiously opened the open again
and with cloth jerked the cake ou
and slammed it on the table. Thel
he stood back and looked at It, Some
thing was wrong. that was certain.

Many poultry raisers make radical
mistakes In changing their fowls from
summer to winter rations. They do
not appreciate the importance OF
maintaining the proper proportions OF
meat and succulent feed In the win

these constituents to the birds imme-
diately at the beginning Of cold
weather. During summer the birds
catch and eat an abundance Of grass

supply Of green food constantly avail

that 1t will correspond as closely as
possible to the summer feeding. The
feeder should not wait until after
Christmas to begin this system of feed
Ing but should commence 1t as soon
as the fowls are off the range.
Feeding a Wet Mash.
Changes In the system OF feeding
hens should never be abrupt, but
should be very gradual, slowly accus-
toming the birds to the variation In
their ration. Where q wet mash has
been fed to the young fowl 1t is pre-
terable to continue to feed the older
birds with this variety OF mash. Al
though a wet mash Is more palatable
than dry mash, 1t Is also more trou-
bio to prepare and has to be fed more
carefully. There is always danger
of 1t securing or freezing. A wet mash
should be thoroughly mixed and al
lowed to swell and expand. This mash
should be uniformly spread In the
troughs so that each bird receives an
equal allowance. Otherwise the strong
or birds will gorge themselves while
their weaker mates will starve.
An excellent wet mash ration con-
sists of one part alfalfa meal, one part
wheat bran. one part middlings, one
part oornmeal and one part beef
scraps II possible these concentrates
should be molstened and mixed with
skim milk and allowed to stand for
several hours before feeding, Five per
cent OF oil meal is used advantageous,
ly In this ration, due to its value as a
laxative and general tonic and stimu-
lator The wet mash should be fed
once daily, In amount never to exceed
what the birds will clean up readily

hour
