STUDIES OHIO RIVER BASIN.
United States Geological Survey Issues
Report Containing Records of Flow.

The water supply of the United
States is undoubtedly its greatest single
mineral resource. The study of water
resources is therefore one of the most
important governmental investigations.
The United States Geological survey has
been making systematic study of the
rivers and other water supplies in the
United States and during the last Is
years has published nearly $50 reports
presenting the results of this work.
Perhaps the most useful phase of the
work is the measurement of the flow
of streams. Records of stream flow are
absolutely essential to any intelligent
river development, whether it be in the
interest of navigation, of food proven
ton, or irrigation, of land drainage, or
OF power development.
In report just issued by the Survey
dealing with the surface water supply
of the Ohio river basin--Water- Supply
Paper 303-attention is called to the
Importance of longtime records of
stream flow, inasmuch as all rivers vary
greatly from year to year, Experience
has shown that such records should COW
er all stages from absolute maximum to
absolute minimum and should embrace
ptIlOuo Vi ~ VI lbA oohit HIItdHs
even 20 years. At first glance these
may seem excessive lengths of time for
the simple determination of rivers
capacity, but when the vast interests in
volved in river development are consid-
cred it will be recognized that great
care should be taken to obtain trust
worthy information.
In developing inland navigation the
Federal government alone has expended
in the neighborhood of s300,000,000 and
prospective expenditures viii approx
mate or exceed this sum. Il is OBJ
vious that the determination of stream
flow is necessary to the intelligent di-
rection of these larger disbursements.
A thorough knowledge of stream flow,
both in the contributing areas and along
the great lowland rivers, is the first
necessity. The flood damage in the
United States is estimated to be in ex-
cess of $lO0,0O0,O00 annually, the Ohio
river basin being particularly subject to
floods, as in the spring of last year.

FEEDING FOR FERTILE EGGS
Let the Hens Balance Their Own Ra'

tions
p. X. EDWARDS.
Fertile eggs must come from vigorous
healthy birds, and as feed and exercise
are essential to vigor we must see that
these two elements are always provided
We should bear in mind, however, that
time spent in feeding and watering
makes serious inroads into our profits,
and hopper feeding reduces this expense,
but with the use of hoppers has come
the habit of mixing the dry feeds and
grain for our fowls according to certain
definite ideas of balanced rations. Re-
Gently those of us who have studied the
habits of our fowls have been forced to
conclude that, as far as the hen is con-
cerned, there is wide difference be-
tween scientifically balanced ration
and palatable one.
Individual taste is as marked in fowls
as in human beings, so if we wish our
flock to be healthy and contented we
must cater to their tastes. This the
writer has seen done in a simple, mex
pensive way by the use of hoppers and
automatic feeders suspended by two
wires from the rafters. These hoppers
were round, and the adjustment was
ball bearing, so that the slightest touch
Of the bait bar shaft scattered some
grains about. In fact, all the little
chicks on the plant visited were fed, or,
rather, got their own feed, from the
automatic feeders.
What to Put in the Feeders.
For a flock of 100 layers, four feeders
and two dry mash hoppers of the thirty
two quart size will hold a weeks supply.
Fill each feeder with a single variety of
grain corn, oats, wheat and buckwheat
-or, if the fowls prefer more corn, use
two feeders for corn. One of the dry
mash hoppers should be filed with the
best meat scraps and the other with a
mixture of brans, middlings in equal
parts, with 20 per cent. alfalfa meal
added during the winter. In addition to
this feed, green food must be provided,
such as mangel wurzels or cabbage or,
better still, sprouted oats, and it is i'm
portant to add that frozen greens are
as bad as the fresh ones are wholesome.
Fed in this way, the breeding stock
will balance their own rations to their
ehhslactloh, anu "a PiShty VI h1I'l 10
