EXPENSE OF PRODUCING EGGS

Bulletin Gives Results OF Hls
Experiments.

James s. Dryden, writing in the Ore
gon Agricultural College Bulletin, re-
lates the results of some interesting
experiments made by him. covering sew
eral years, in which every ounce Of
food consumed by six pens Of Leg.
horns was weighed. The six pens OF
hens consumed during the year 664
pounds of wheat, 296 pounds of corn.
203 pounds of oats, 112 pounds OF bran
and shorts, and 235 pounds of skim
milk, in addition to some animal food.
The cost of the total food per fowl for
the year varied in different pens from
81 cents to IS cents, and averaged sc
cents. The wheat was charged at one
cent a pound, corn at n and one
quarter cents, oats at n cent, skim
milk at a fifth of a cent, and bran and
shorts at three-ifths of a cent. The
animal food cost from FIVE to six cents
per fowl. The wheat constituted near

Of the largest indexes in the world
In fact, the Russian public index Is
the only one known to be larger.
More than 100000 names, births,
marriages and deaths in Massachu'
sets from 1943 make a complete rec
ord, showing not only where people
were born and where they died, but
also statistics which are vital In max
ing up calculations. Before this
time, says the National Magazine, the
records were kept in the different
towns, but now they are all concen'
trated in the statehouse in Boston
In a relatively small space all these
records are preserved. and as births
marriages and deaths come In, diner
emit forms of cards r used, and
great variety of names, Grecian
Assyrian, Italian and others nov
mingle with good old New England
names that have been on the records
since the landing of the Mayfower.

Bowler said "Humph," as did sew

1t really was not worth while to te

Freezinq an Easy Death.

Freezing to death. writes a medical
authority, is preceded by a drowsiness
which makes the end painless-the
body actually feels warm and goes
comfortably to sleep. Experiments
have been made with animals to show
Just how freezing to death proceeds.
In one of these experiments, In
which the animal was placed in a tenn
perature of 125 to $50 degrees below
zero, the breathing and heart beats
at first were quickened, the organic
heat of the body actually rising above
normal.
This rising showed a sudden and an
intense effort on the part Of functions
to preserve the body's temperature
Then the violent heart action gave out
suddenly and death came when the
temperature of the body dropped 70

GEESE MONEY MAKERS
Many Farmers Devote All Their
Attention to Hen
Excellent Opportunity offered to Sc
pure Profitable Results-Losses
Uusualiy Caused by Ignorance
Of Keeper.

More and more our farmers are be-
coming interested in the poultry
business, and the ZEN now reigns
supreme on many farms. Nearly all
seem to devote their attention to the
chickens exclusively, thus making
the opportunity for obtaining GOOD
returns from geese all the better.
I believe that many will find 1t
profitable to give this line OF work q,
trial, writes an Ohio farmer In the
Farm Progress. Many seem to have
gained the impression that geese are
hard to raise, but / do not think so, az
experience has shown them to be
much less bother than chickens. / al
ways use hens for Matching, giving
each one six eggs, and I usually get
good results.
When Matched, the goslings are
taken from the hen, and placed In q
warm box for a couple of days. After
that they are taken out to q spot
where there is plenty Of tender grass
and given a shallow pan Allied with
water. Do this for a few days, and
they will learn where their quarters
are, and they may then be allowed To
run where they please.
Losses are usually caused by tgno'
rance on the part of the keeper. Cos
lings are unlike chicks, for they re
quire little feed. Tender grasses and
similar greens 10 all they require
and the feeding of other stuff will
soon cause bowel trouble and death
