The Ten Commandments print
ed on tablets and framed are be
ing hung in each of the eighty
public school buildings of Kan
sas City by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Permis-
sion was granted the patriotic
committee of that order by the
board of education December 5.
Twelve women on the committee
presented a petition to the board
on which were scores of names of
representative men in Kansas City
of every religion. The law pro-
hibits the teaching Of the Bible i'll
the schools, but the d. A. X. found
that the hanging of the laws of
Moses" in the schools as motto
was not an infringement of the
statutes. The tablets are 36x16
inches. These notices Will hang
in eighty Kansas City public
buildings. Here's chance for
the ID. A. r. sisters of Mexico to

Former Audrain Farmer.

The "Informer," published at
Hereford, Texas, tells of A. w
Worsham, who formerly lived
northeast of Mexico, in the fol
lowing words-Mr Worsham
seems to be making good
There are many of our farmers
making good money farming in
this country. In conversation
with A. w. Worsham, who lives
about three miles northeast oil
town, the Informer man learned
something of interest which we
give below to show what one man
has done, and what many of our
farmers are also doing.
Mr.. Worsham says he can 7
give up farming here, that he is
very much delighted with the
Panhandle. He keeps a record
of his expenses and profit each
year and can safely say his little
place averages over $1,000 each
year. He came here three years
ago not able to do a days work
and now he does not lose a day
and feels as young as ten years
back. Last year he sold off his
ITO acre farm $315.76 worth OF
hogs, two mule colts nor 1925, two
two year heifers for 800, and
$1,l95.s5 of lint cotton besides the
seed, paid out $922.91 for pickers,
$40 for choppers; has 700 bushels
of threshed grain he is holding
for 81 per hundred. His wife
sold something over 1920 of eggs
and chickens.

Which Side of the
Fence
Are You On?

During the past few years,
the industrial progress and
growth of this country has
been nothing short of mar
velous. The increase in the
population of our large cities
has been tremendous. As as
consequence, the consuming
or non-producing population
is increasing much faster than
the producing population.
This condition has upset the
economic ratio of supply and
demand, especially in the case
of agricultural food products
meat, milk and butter, and
prices have gone to an almost
unheard of level.
The consumer pays the
bills. The producer reaps
the benefit. He has the adj
vantage.
If you are a consumer, why
don't You turn producer? In
stead of letting the high cost
of living prove a hardship,
why don't you turn it into a
real opportunity?
If you don't get a good
start on the road to Indepen-
denceville, now, while the go
ing is good, you can't blame
anybody but yourself. Your
Uncle Sam will give you a
farm. The rest is up to you,

PROPER FEED FOR THE HENS
Varied Diet Necessary for Best Re
suits From lsyers-Dry Mash
Always Before Fowls.

A method which has given very sat
isfactory results for the American
breeds has been worked out by Prof
J c. Graham or the Massachusetts
Agricultural college A dry mash is
kept In hoppers before the hens al
all times and scratch feed is led
night and morning The dry mash IL
composed OF equal parts bran. wheat
middlings, corn meal, finely ground
oats, ground alfalfa and beef SCRAPS
and the scratch feed OF two parts
cracked corn, one part wheat and one
part oats, says the Farm and Home
The scratch feed is varied depend
ing somewhat upon the condition OF
the hens. II on examination they are
found too fat more oats and wheat
and less corn are fed. Sometimes We
feed three parts or corn to two parts
OF wheat at night and oats in the
morning
At certain seasons of the year more
grain is fed at night in the litter than
the hens will eat. so there will be some
left for them to work on early the
next morning. This is found to be d
very satisfactory method AT times
oats are fed alone, for when the three
are mixed together the wheat anc
corn are picked up first and the hens
that eat the fastest get very little o
| the oats.
II ii is desired TO force the hens, il
addition TO the dry mash and grain
moisten some OF the mash. getting !
to crumbly state and placing ii il
troughs what they will eat in 10 min
utes This is fed at night. tresl
water, oyster shell and grit are KEEP
before the hens. Mangels and cat
bages are ted whole every day whe
| possible. but al least three times
