POPULAR FEED
FOR POULTRY

CBy C. e. BRowN.)


The most common method of feed
Ing throughout the poultry world to-
day Is to give wet mash Of some
sort to the fowls once a day; whole
grain being fed in the morning and
evening. Some people prefer to feed
the mash warm, and some cold, and
some feed 1t in the morning, some In
the middle Of the day and others
give 1t for the evening meal. Our
preference Is to feed 1t at noon for
the reason that we want to make the
hens scratch in the early morning for
the whole grain in the litter to keep
themselves warm and when In the
middle Of the day 1t is warmer and
the hens naturally want rest, we
give them the mash. The chief OBJ
lection to the evening mash is that a
full crop of it will not last them
during the long winter nights 80 well
as whole grain. as 1t is SO often COM
posed of such bulky mixture. Care
should be exercised In not over-feed-
ing on the wet mash. The hens
should not have more than they will
eat up clean in ten minutes.
A good mash for the farmer is az
follows:
Equal parts Of Underground corn.
oats, bran or shorts. mixed with
about ten per cent. Of cooked meat.
green cut bone of beef scraps. These
foods are mixed up dry and then
thoroughly mixed with about one
third their bulk Of stepped clover
leaves or finely cut clover which has
previously been scalded by pouring
hot water on It and covering It with
sack. The clover should be stepped
about twelve hours before using. An
other method and one Of the best we
have tried Is to take mixture Of 200
pounds bran, 100 pounds shorts. 100
pounds ground corn. 100 pounds
ground oats. 100 pounds beef scraps
and ten pounds of charcoal. Slightly
moisten this with water when feeding
to the fowls, but never make II
sloppy.

are allowed to remain as breeding
places near the orchards. Such thick
cts may produce thousands OF the bee
ties and when the wild fruit becomes
insufficient for the great number. OF
beetles they may seek places to feed
and oviposit in cultivated orchards.
The Earring method. as recommend
ed for the plum curculio. IL effective
when used against this species Spray
Ing with poisons is likely to be bene-
fetal. but It is probable that not as
many Of the beetles will be killed by
the operation. as in the case Of the
plum curculio. for the reason that In
feeding they consume little of the ex-
posed surface to which the poison IL
applied.

cLARkE's REMARKABLE STORY

clear up the mystery Of my disappear
ance and claim the sum of $4,000
which has been lying in the Hamilton
Trust Company's vaults since was
declared insane In 1906. I have done
so, with the result that am a man
with two names and In a tangle Of
complications. OF course, my real
name Is Ralph A. Clarke, but for near
ly Ave years I have been known as b.
r. Benton. and the associations / have
made under that name in Richmond
