Poultry Feeding

The high prevailing prices OF vari-
Gus cereals and mill by-products used
in feeding poultry may cause some
breeders to short feed their birds, and
TO do so is a great mistake. A good lay
ing hen will, after supplying her sys-
TEN, convert the remainder of her
digestible food into substances within
her body and from which eggs are
made. To half feed poultry means
there will be no profit
The results of egg laying contests
in several states show that if the cost
of the food used had been half as
much more there would still have
been a profit of IS for every eight
hens. OF course if one has unpro-
ductive stock it should be disposed of
without regard to the price of food
stuff.
If there are good reasons for re-
ducing stock, the following Is recon-
mended: First, reduce by discarding
all inferior, unthrifty, and aged speci-
ment. Second, dispose Of surplus male
birds. These eat food and give no re-
turn; they also occupy space which
should be occupied by profit-making
| pullets. Third, keep one breed and
specialize; breed none but good ones
for the purpose in view-not more
than two. one for egg production, the
other for table bird breeding.
The average farmer feeds on grain
alone. His wife or daughters gener-
ally own the poultry, and the fowls
gain a good deal of their food in the
form of insect life and in the stables
and around feed lots. The farm yiela
of eggs would be much larger If the
! farmer would always see to it that the
proper food materials were always at
hands for feeding the poultry.
At midday the fowls should have
green food, CHOPPED alfalfa, clover, rape,
sprouted oats, or kale. A third of the
food of fowls should be Of this char
acter. At night, ian hour before sun
set the birds should have a feed
OF wheat, cracked corn or other good
grain. Bran should be available in
self feeders at all times; its value
is largely due to its phosphorus con
tent. The morning ration should con
sist Of ground grains 10 which third
in bulk OF chopped green food should
be added; this mixed with a little
bran makes a ration of high feeding
value.
Single test each pulIet before using
for breeding purposes. If they prove
TO be good layers they are worth e
lot of money; if they are poor layers
they should go to the kitchen. Single
testing is the only road to success
In building up a laying strain.
Erect scratching sheds facing tbs
south or east. Use clean straw litter
Feed birds as suggested and see tha
drinking vessels are clean and pro
vided with clean water. Provide gri

The ''pious man" was James, Duke
OF Monmouth. He had about as much
piety as a peacock-and almost as
much beauty. To this day it is hard
to decide whether he was more black
guard or arrant coward. Probably an
equal blend of both.
Charles II of England died without q
direct heir. Thus his younger broth
er mounted. the throne as King James
II. Many English people hated and
distrusted King James. Many politi-
clans looked on him as an enemy OF
their pet schemes. A large number
Of Englishmen were Puritans who
were disguised with the dissipation
and extravaganza Of Charles reign
and sighed for the graver, godlier
times Of Cromwell.

Charles had publicly denied this story
But this proved little. For Charles
