VARIETY OF FEED
BEST FOR POULTRY

A great deal has been written about
the right kind of feed for poultry. but
very little about the wrong kind
There is no doubt that many poultry
failures may be traced to improper
feeding. Hens are not like pigs. They
will not thrive on sloppy foods. We
hear Il great deal about balanced ra-
ton, but balanced ration need not
be a scientific ration or some new fan
gled way of feeding. but the birds
should have Il variety and Il supply of
the various things they need for their
bodily wants and for egg making. No
person would like diet of any one
thing or any one class of food
The birds do not want any one kind
of food in excess, Even the best of
food would fail if fed continuously
and with nothing else In feeding
mashes do not make them too heavy
with cornmcal but Tighten them with
bran or alfalfa leaves. DO not make
the mashcs too sloppy. which will in
time ruin the digestive organs of the
birds. but make the maShes crumhly or
feed them dry. Now corn and oats
make good combination for feeding
chickens, but even these must not be
fed to the exclusion of other things
Most farmers have these two grains
and therefore the best foundation for

balanced poultry food. 1t will be
little trouble to get the corn cracked
at the mill or the oats crushed.
The thing 10 do is to get some other
grains to mix with these so that the
birds will have not only variety, but
grains of different food values. You
can get a few Hundred pounds of
wheat. buckwheat, kaflir and little
suntowcr seed. These may be mixed
in with your corn and oats at differ
cnt times as you wish, so that the
fowls will get a different ration from
time to time Not that the feeding
should be radically changed at any one
time, but that the grains given should
be a little different. This keeps up
the appetite and makes them eager for
their food

Feeding For Winter Eeqs.

1t is certain that profits and results
from the hencoop will not be satisfac-
tory If feeding for winter consists of
corn or meal made from corn alone,
for neither is sufficiently heterogeneous
and does not supply proper mate
rial for egg laying unless fed in
combination with other foods, such as
milk. ground bone. clover and vege-
tables. The hens should be fed in
such a manner as to induce scratching
and exercises. Wheat, maize. barley
and sunflower seed have been found
very good food for promoting winter
laying. and much success has attend
ed the feeding of warm mash of cut
clover and barley meal, bran, green

1t is useless to look for eggs in
winter unless the fowls are well
fed and comfortably housed. Good
housing does not mean an air tight
box, but quarters that are dry and
well ventilated. Keep a busting box
in a sunny corner, and see that it
is well supplied with dry road dust
or sifted coal ashes. A pinch of
permanganate of potash in their

Early Lead Which Is

Virginia, Mimi, July 9.-Tsking an
early lead py nlrrlng wilson's slants
when hits meant runs, the Winnipeg
Maroons copied the first game from
the Virginia Rangers here yesterday
by the close queeze of 6 to s. The
visitors chalked up 6 runs before the
homesters started to find the offerings
of Lefty" Boly, and they reached a
total of 8 when Dusty" Rhoadee
low and stopped any more scoring,
though the Miners made a valiant at
tempt to pocket the contest in the
eighth. Wright, who replaced Wilson,
was air tight and held the league
leaders helpless, but it was too late,
as the damage had been done. Right
in the first frame Wilkes greeted Will
son with a singing single and Curtis
walked after kirkham had been re-
tired. Tackle failed to deliver, but
Swain came through with a timely
poke to right field, scoring both rum
ners and putting the Peggers away in
front with two tallies.
Maroons Score Runs.
In the third and fourth sessions the
visitors were busy chasing in runs,
when they chalked up two cores in
both rounds. AL Swain, the hard
clouter right fielder of the league lead
ers, performed nobly with his blud-
geon. cracking the pill safely three
times and assisting very materially in
giving his team victory. Joe Wilkes
also laced the horsehide hard. Boly
kept the hits well scattered until the
fourth. when the Sunheim bunch
started to punch the ball and two tall
lies were recorded. The visitors play
ed hard at the finish and held onto
their early lead.

TO extend
CORPORATE LIMITS
Requests of Sewer Privileges
Make the Action A
Necessary One.

Fargo. n. D., July. s.-The principal
feature of a short session of the city
commission was the order given City
Attorney Shure to draw up a resolu-
ton to extend the corporate limits Of
the city north 1900 feet and between
Fifth and Thirteenth streets.
The commission takes this action
because many requests for water and
sewer privileges have come before it
recently from residents living in that
portion Of the township and several
ordinances interfere with granting the
requests unless the territory is in
cluded in the city limits. The resolu-
tion will come before the commission
at the next weekly meeting and If
passed will go in force at ono
. Under the state laws any city can
include adjacent land in it's limits over
the protest of property owners or resi-
dents Of the land affected provided it
is not used for farming.
President Emery and Commissioner
Stern reporting on the results of their
inquiry into the throwing Of refuse
and dead animals into the Red river
told the commission that because the
Red Is a navigable stream only the
federal government has Jurisdiction
over it and that neither city nor coun-
ty officials can take action on the mat
ter.
