One day several OF my girl friends
called to see me. We started to make
some candy when | discovered that
we didn't have any chocolate in tho
house and said that | couldn't possibly
make 1t without "a speck OF choco-
late"
Mary, one OF the girls, said: why,
what kind OF chocolate is that
couldn't you use any other kind?"
One of the girls gave me a punch
and said "Oh. no, couldn't use any
other kind. It's Just new kind. You
telephone the grocery and order some,
Mary, and well start the candy. Now
be sure and order 'Aspecka.'
SO we filed to the kitchen and left
Mary to telephone. We sat In the
kitchen holding our sides with sup,

FOOD REQUIREMENTS OF HEN
Plentiful Supply Of Pure, Fresh Water
10 CT Utmost lmportance-Ash
Is Also Needed.

The hen needs food to sustain life;
TO build up. develop and repair waste
tissues; and to supply heat and energy
for the proper functioning OF the body.
What is fed above these needs goes to
the production Of meat or eggs. The
composition of the hens body Will
vary with her condition, but may be
said to contain about So per cent wa
ter, % per cent protein, II per cent
fat, and four per cent ash. An egg
contains about 66 per cent water, IL
per cent protein, ten per cent fat and
IL per cent ash. OF the ash, practical
" all but about one per cent is from
the shell.
A glance at these figures shows one
the importance of a plentiful supply
OF pure, fresh water Water is not
food, but without water food is of no
use to the fowl. Animals as well as
plants must have their food in solution
before they can use it, When the
food is digested It is taken up by the
blood, which circulates through the
body. nourishng and replenishing IL
Next to water, protein is the food ele
ment found in the largest amount, both
IN the hen and in the egg. This ele
ment builds up the body and repairs
the waste tissues. Protein, although
the principal nutrient used for tissue
builder, can also be used to take the
place of carbohydrates and fat II thes'
are not sufficiently supplied in the ra
ton. It is not economy, however t'
have this take place, as the protein II
more expensive than the carbohydrates
or tat.
Carbohydrates, which are principal
Nv starches, sugars, organic ACIDS AM
pentosans, are used to produce hea
and energy. They are the fuel ana ar
very necessary in the ration and Torn
the largest part OF IT, Fats have TO
great extent, the same function as cal
bohydrates Fats act as a storehous
for surplus supplies on which the 10"
can draw when necessary. Ash or NH
eral matter is also needed for the oohe

GOOD HOUSING OF CHICKENS
To Induce Early Laying PulIets Should
Be Put In Permanent Quarters
Before Maturity.
CBy A. c. sMITH)

Remember that most cases OF colds
and roup are incurred In the fall be-
cause the birds are not housed as
early as they should be. Fowls are
timid in new quarters and are prone
to crowd and huddle together on the
roosts and drop boards. In this way
they become overheated at night only
to be chilled when they separate in
the morning. II is an excellent plan,
therefore, to house few at first and
as soon as they feel at home add a
few more until the pen has received
its capacity.
1t is an accepted fact that any
change In location affects the laying
stock, therefore in order TO induce
early laying the pullets should be put
IN permanent winter quarters two or
three weeks before they are expected
to mature.

TO MARKET WITH OLD HENS
Nonproducers Have No Place In Up.
to.Date Poultry Plant That 10
Run for Profit.

By J. G. HALPIN. Wisconsin Agricui.
tural College.)
NEXT in Importance to Death OF
Captivity to the Rooster" the summer
time slogan of the poultryman should
be: ITO Market With the Old Hens"
For certainly the nonproducers have
no place In the scheme of things in an
up.to-date poultry plant that is run
for profit and not for pleasure alone.
Hens over two years old begin to de-
cline in producing power. They rarely
lay as many eggs as in their pullet
and yearling stages. Providing that
they have been marked with a toe
punch In the days of their youth, do.
lection Of the aged "matrons" will be
a comparatively easy matter.
BEFORE the old hens, the surplus
young stock and the male birds are
sent away to market, they should be
kept in a small pen at least two weeks
to increase their weight.
A suitable ration for this period con
slsts Of three parts cornmeal, one part
middlings or low-grade -four and one
part bran, with enough skim milk add
ed TO make a crumbly mash. The
owner should never forget to provide
fattenlng fowls with plenty Of pure
water during the warm days. Feed
all the birds will eat twice a day anC
allow access to a supply of cracked
