FEED CHICKENS IN SUMMER
There Are Few Farm Fioeks That Will
Not Improve In Egg Laying II
Given Some Grain.

The very common opinion that
farm hocks need no grain feed In
summer Is seldom warranted. The
farm range Is valuable, and there is
no place where eggs can be produced
as economically, but there are few
fiocks that will not improve in egg
yield IL given at least one feed daily,
1t ought not to he difficult to de-
termine whether more feed II needed.
Something depends on the size OF the
flock and the range. but the egg yield
will tell. There Ii only Que probable
explanation for a farm hens failure
to lay egs In summer, and that Is
lack Of feed. Occasionally Il Is due to
Q lack OF the right kind OF feed. but
generally II the hens have one feed
daily of any grain they will give good
results.
Wheat, barley and oats are the
practical summer grains. but II little

dreds Of Exhibits.

Everything is in readiness for the
great corn show and school fair
Each OF the twenty-eight boys OF

will bring in ten ears each TO try
to win the 500 pounds Of fertilizer
or the ton Of ground limestone
There will be numerous exhibits Of
popcorn, seed-wheat, irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, onions, pumpkins or
squashes, canned vegetables, can
ned fruits, apples, baked goods, but
ter and needle work.
Look over the prize list and see il
there is any thing you can bring to
win a prize. All the prizes are OF
a high order and well worth work
ing for; but the grand prize of all
and the one we are all TO win as
the years go by is the improved me-
thods Of agriculture TO be inaugur-
ated at this corn shOw-methods bv
which the coming generation may
have farms three fold as productive
as they now are.
The Berea College Band will fur

The corn and wheat will be judged
by Prof. Kinney, Of the Experiment
Station, one of the very few really
expert judges of corn in the state
Equally good judges in their own
lines will Judge the other exhibits
so you can feel that if you win a
prize it is a matter of no small hon

The presentation of prizes by
President Frost will add still more
to the honor of winning, and the

weeks ago on the farm Of Mr.. Ben
Wilcox mile out the Richmond
pike from West Irvine.
Three crops yielding a total Of
fully four tons Of excellent alfalfa
hay were cut from this acre this
year. Mr.. Wilcox is justly proud
Of this $40 product from one acre
in one year with no work required
except the harvesting.
This field is especially favored in
that tss good limestone soil, which
when tested with acid dubbed up
sufficiently to have drawn a broad
smile to Joe Wings amiable face

mountains as limestone is obtain

otherwise preparing small fertile

II is simply a waste Of time and
money to SOW alfalfa on poor soil
or by carelessly preparing the seed

is plenty of lime in the soil. We

Vegetables and fruit seem to
have been designed by the creator
to constitute the major portion of
the diet of the human family. We
have no record Of flesh being used
as food until after the flood more
than fifteen hundred years after
our first parents were turned out
of the garden Of Eden. The aver
age life in those days was ten
times the length OF the average of
today. AS the body is composed
of what we eat and drink the i'm
terence is that fruit and vegeta-
BILE diet lie much more wholesome
than one in which meat is the maj
factor. Milk is a wholesome food
provided by nature and butter
serves for tho oil necessary foG
health. Nuts are a very concentra-
ted food but wholesome ii taken
