WHAT TO FEED THE POULTRY
Birds Should Be Confined to SIat-Rot
toned Coop With the Idea Of
Preventing Exercise.

(By w. A. LIPPINCOTT.)
The following is an excellent ration
for fattening poultry:
l part corn meal,
l part ost -four, a.
/ part barley meal.
] part beef scrap,
parts buttermilk or skim milk.
This makes what is called slop
feed, as it is thin enough to pour The
best feeding result are five or six in
number, are placed in a slat coop.
The bottom is of lattice work, and
that makes it self-cleaning. There is
nlenty of room in the coop, but the
idea is to prevent exercise.
The crate should be put in a pro-
tected place, but not in house. I'm
der tree or at the side of build
ing is a good place, if it is where 9TH
er fowls cannot modest them. They
are given no food for twenty-four
hours peryious to the feeding period,
which should last from two to three
weeks. The milk will be sufficient to
allay their thirst. Feeding in this
way has brolaght gains of from 25 to
50 per cent. 1t costs from five to
seven cents worth Of grain to put on
pound Of gain. But if it did not pay
from feeding standpoint it would
in other ways, for the flesh of bird
fattened in this way is far better. being
much whittier in appearance and more
juicy and much more palatable.
For laying fowls, milk furnishes the
animal protein that is necessary. In
this way it takes the place of beef
scraps, which is packing house prod
uct and somewhat expensive. 1t has
been demonstrated that for every
quart Of milk hen will drink, she will
lay an extra egg, but of course the the
inability to drink much limits the egg
production.

DR. F. J. Davis of Oakland told his

But any number of votes to the
contrary could be gained among the
physicians of San Francisco If they
were all of the mind of those inter-
viewed on the subject.
Old and young, married and single,
the answers were unanimous.

Receivers Report, Walker
Says, Shows Loan President
Was Voted Big Salary

Frank S. Walker, state building and
loan commissioner, has report con-
tanning the legal history of the Pre-
ferred Mercantile company, written
by B. p. Gray. receiver. which he says
has convinced him that the business of
the National Mercantile company.
whose president, George E. Stillings.
was the organizer and president of the
Preferred Mercantile company, should
be prevented from operating in Cali
fornia.
Walker has asked Attorney General
U. S. Webb to study the law to find
whether he has power to prosecute
the company. which has offices in a
number Of California cities.
QUOTATIONS FROM REPORT
Here are a few quotations from the
receivers report quoted by Walker:
"The accounts of the company show
it to have received from the contract
holders between December 5, 1903. and
March a, 1905, the sum of s101. 402.75.
Paid to mature contracts, $46, 1864,
and charged to expense, $30,919.S6,

was opened. commencing with bal
ance of S4,972.90 From Saturday TO

Two paragraphs from a meeting of
the board of directors of the company
follow:
Upon motion being duly made and
seconded, 1T was voted the president

to State Building and Loan Commits
sioner Walker.
INQUIRY STARTS FIGHT
Five months ago the affairs of the
National Mercantile company came to
the official attention of District At
torney Hynes and Prosecutor Decoto
of Oakland because of complaints that
had been made concerning the COM
pany's transactions. Stillings was
summoned by Hynes and State Build
ing and Loan Commissioner Walker to
give an account of the activities of
the company whose Oakland offices
were located in the Security Bank
building.
The conference ended almost in
blows when Stillings made a motion
toward Walker, but was prevented
from harming him by the quickness OF
Hynes. who grappled with him. Steps
were then taken to investigate the
companys affairs and plans were
made to call the grand jury's atten-
ton to the alleged illegal transactions
of Stillings and his associates When
Walker took up the state investiga-
ton of the company the Alameda
county case was dropped, and it has
not yet been revived. The company,
however, is said to have vacated its
Oakland office.
