FEEDING HENS WHEAT ALONE
Grain Does Not Contain Eeg-Makins
Materials in Proper Proportion
Corn is Even Worse.

Some years ago Prof. James Dry
den delivered an address before the
Utah Farmers institute, from which
this extract is worthy of reproduction:
"A short study of the composition
of wheat and OF eggs will explain why
a profitable egg yield cannot to be ex-
pected from wheat alone. Surprising
you feed a hen which weighs S.5
pounds 1926 ounces of wheat a day.
"Of course, q hen of that weight
would not long consume its weight
of wheat alone. Supposing, further,
then the hen uses 2.75 ounces of that
for the maintenance of the body; that
leaves half an ounce to be conveyed
into eggs, assuming that all food is
digested, which, of course, Is not the
case. In half an ounce of wheat there
So that assuming that the hen con-
sumes and digests 1926 ounces of
wheat per day; and that she uses
2.75 ounces of that for maintenance
of her body, there is available each
day just one-fourth enough egg pro-
TEN for an egg.
In other words. it will take four
days to get the necessary amount Of
protein for one egg. But the egg has
other constituents; so has whsat. The
half ounce of wheat contains about
one and one-half times as much car
bohydrates and fat as one egg con-
tains. The hen fed on wheat alone
has a surplus of one material. In
other words, she has enough car
bohydrates and fat to make an egg
and half day, but she has only pro-
TEN enough to make one egg in six
days. You place the hen in an awk-
ward position by feeding her wheat
alone.
Wheat does not contain the egg
making materials in proper proper
ton. Corn is even worse than wheat
in this respect"

REGARD PRISON AS HOTEL
English Veterans in Crime Find De-

In Their Declining Days.

Prison hotels, where habitual Grim

comfortable in England nowadays that
offenders who have spent their lives
in criminal pursuits and have reached
the retiring age are now adopting the
custom of committing serious crimes
when they arrive at the age OF sixty or
thereabouts in order that they may
pass their remaining years in the
peaceful precincts of the prison hotel.
One Of these institutions is now In
the course OF building at Parkhurst,
Isle of Wight. and soon will be oc.

Those wishing succession of cut
flowers through the summer cannot do
better than TO rely upon some of the

sion. and they are for the most part
easily grown.
The leader for this purpose is with
out question the sweet pea. Its beau
tiful form, exquisite colors and delight
full fragrance are sufficient to gain for
It place on all occasions. The long
stems render 1t graceful for vases,
and the flowers are Less perishaDle in
nature than many other species.
Plant as early as possible. Most
seeds are best in the packet until the
ground is warm and dry; but sweet
peas must be planted as soon as pos
sible. Do not wait for pleasant
weather, or you will wait in vain for
blossoms. Plant them when you plant
your earliest garden peas.
A rich loan well fertilized is the
best soil. Dig a trench six inches
deep and plant the seeds two inches
apart in zigzag line, covering with
an inch OF soil pressed firmly down.
1t is better to place the support now,
though it may be given later but can
not so easily be placed firmly. Wire
netting is the best support, though
common brush will serve the purpose.
AS the plants grow, gradually draw
the soil about the roots until the
trench is filed. This gives a deep
root system, rendering the plants able
TO resist drouth.
A weekly draught OF liquid manure
will help to keep them growing vigor-
ously.
Keep the blossoms closely clipped
Pick the freshly opened flowers daily
and give away what you cannot use

Our second choice for cutting is the

the mixed colors, varying from cream
to dark bronze. The scarlet, orange
and most Of the other colors blend in
charming combination, but there are

charming floral piece, and as they
root readily in water they continue to
grow and bloom for long time. The
blue-green foliage seems especially
designed to harmonic with the bios
sons, and the plant is free from al
most all insect pests. Perhaps the
acrid juice is in a measure RESPONSE
BILE for this.
The cabbage worm seems to be an
exception, but a sprinkling of helle-
bore upon the leaves soon finishes 1t.
The old-fashioned French marigold
Is among the old-time blossoms which
is coming to its own. 1t succeeds best
in light, rich soil, with plenty Of
sunshine. The velvety blossoms re
main fresh for weeks, and the finely
cut foliage combines with them per-
fectly. The single objection to this
plant is that the odor is a disagree
able one to many.
Not so with the coreopsis, the long,
slender stems of which render the
flowers charming for cutting. The
flowers are of bright yellow and
produced in great profusion from
June until frosts come.
Some of the asters are favorites for
late summer blooming. 1t is best to
start the seeds in pots, transplanting
when the weather becomes settled.
There Is no better strain than the late
branching. the pink, white and laven-
der varieties being as beautiful as the
finest chrysanthemum, which they
much resemble.
The scarlet saliva is beautiful
cutting. 1t delights in rich soil and
sunny spot. Grown with a white
painted house for a background, it ap-
pears at its best. The flowers are
graceful in outline, besides showing
the most intense scarlet known in ma
ture, and remain fresh in water for
a week or more. Seeds should be
sown early in boxes in the window,
the greenhouse, from which cuttings
or a single plant can be purchased at
the greenhouse. from which cuttings
rooted In a glass of water placed in
sunny window will in short time
furnish material for a whole bed of
beauty.
The old-fashioned Cornfiower OF
Bachelors Button is another favorite
for cutting, the flowers having long
stems and not whiting easily. 1t comes
in several colors, though the blue, sin
gle and double, are doubtless the
most popular This plant will usually
come up year after year from half
sown seed, and is one of the plants
for the busy woman.
The best effect is secured by mass
ing. and not by mingling many varie.
ties together. Choose few favorites,
and grow them in profusion when
you want cut flowers, select those of
a single genus, remembering that the
foliage given them by nature Is best
suited to each.
