Poultry Feeds and Feeding

the most Of you to have this green feed
is: Just as soon as your garden truck
will do to remove. do so, and SOW your
garden in rye, though IL you have
another lot convenient to your poultry
yard, SOW il. But this plan has its
objections. For instance, in winter
when eggs are 80 cents per dozen,
there comes a big snow and lays on for
eight or ten days, your egg supply is
going TO fall short, and in the spring,
when you want fertile eggs and lots of
them, you will want to pillow the lots to
make ready for a crop But II you will
provide yourself with an expensive oat
sprouter, as have here, you can have
green feed when you want it and in any
quantities.
Water Essential.
Water should be cons dered as an
essential food, as it contains a great
deal of mineral matter that the fowls

health of the fowl An egg contains
from 81 to 80 per cent. water; there
fore, plenty of pure water will aid in
production of more eggs and if it is
given to the warm in the winter time
you will be amply repaid for your
trouble, with the increased number of
eggs.
Table scraps also make a very fine
feed if fed properly. They should not
be poured GU the ground in a sloppy
state and then let the birds pick from
them, but as they are gathered up in
the kitchen, pour them up in some
kind of a vessel and put in the potato
and turnip pees, tie cabbage trim
mings and then cook them all well
done and then add sufficient wheat
bran to make the mixture crumbly and
give them only what they will clean
up in few minutes.

Splendid Feeding Method.

a good method Of feeding layers and
breeders early of morning as soon as
the fowls come off the roost. They
should be fed about one handful of
commercial scratch feed to every two
hens, or about one pint to every ten
hens. About ten O'Clock scatter from
one to two square inches of sprouted
oats, per hen. IN the litter to induce
more exercise, and in the winter time,
along about three or four o'clock. feed
them about as much of equal parts of
corn, wheat and oats as fed of the
scratch feed in the forenoon. Some
recommend not to feed scratch feed
of morning, but to give sufficient Of
the evening feed that they will not get
it all before night and will have some
still in the litter to work after in the
morning. Always keep your hens
well supplied with water, charcoal,
grit and oyster shells.

At the Farmers institute In Har-
dinsburg, Herbert Hall, successful In
the poultry industry in Breckenridge
county, read paper written from ex
perience on Feeds and Feeding"
Several valuable paragraphs from Mr..
Halls article are herewith published
This is subject that has occupied
the minds Of all feeders Of live stock
for time past. The different food
articles and their comparative values
are not thoroughly understood by the
majority Of the novices in the live
stock and poultry industry In this
article it is my desire to bring to bear
on the minds of the farmers and poul
try raisers the necessity of having an
understanding of foods and how they
should be compounded and the part of
any food value that is wasted bv not
giving this subject the proper study.
Corn Fine at Proper Time.
Corn is a very fine feed in the proper
time and in hands that know the re
suits of corn in the different times of
the year. Corn is rich in carbohydrates
the property that cause oxidation or
burning away Of the worn out cells;
therefore, If corn is fed to an excess in
summer it will cause too much lat and
will produce an exc SIS of heat and in
connection with the external heat OF
season may result in apoplexy of the
brain Corn is an excellent winter
food and should be fed at night just be-
fore the birds go on the roost. When
hen fills her craw with corn on a cold
winter night she practically has lit
tie stove within herself to keep her
warm, as the corn contains the heat
producing qualities. This is the same
principal as a person eating meat in
winter. You can rest assured that it
you will feed corn at night that their
combs will not freeze 1t matters not
how poorly you have them housed; also
the laying hen will feel more vigorous
the next morning.

Beef scraps contains two times as
much protein as carbohydrates; there.
fore, it should be fed in connection
with the grain and mash feed. You
may ask: Why do this? From the
simple fact, you supply the needs Of

can then convert the food she consumes
into eggs without robbing her body of

ment.

WATCHING the Seals.

Visitors at the Aquarium never tire
of watching the harbor seals, and one
thing that pleases them particularly
is to see the seals fall off their table
when they go to bsleep. In the middle
of the pool for the seals there are two
low tables, their tops are just above
the water, on which the seals climb
out to sleep or to rest. And some
times one or another of the seals will
climb out of the water to one Of those
tables and lie there on 1t, maybe close
along the edge Of one side and per-
haps with its head and forward part,
of it's body hanging over the edge Of
the table in front, apparently all the
time in imminent danger OF rolling OF
the table at the side or of pitching
of head first into the water in front.
And when seal lies on table like
that. sleeping or doing, people stand
around the pool watching and waiting
for the seal to fall off, He won't hurt
himself when he. does fall. he will SIM
ply fall OFF into the water; but old and
young men, women and children. will
stand there with keen interest silent
ly watching and waiting for that seal
to fall. And IL they stay long enough,
as they are pretty sure to do, they are
rewarded.-New York Times.

treasure for Antiquarians.

In a recent issue of the London
Times announcement is made of the
discovery at Caervoran, on the Roman
wall, three miles east of Gilsland, in
Northumberland, OF remarkable
bronze measure of the Roman period.
Such officially certified measures are
very rare On the present specimen

whose consulate in A. d. 20 the meas

owing to the hatred felt toward him
after his death. The measure con-
tains Tx sectarii, about thirty pounds
of wine, or rather more than two gal
Ions, and eight pounds have been al
lowed as the weight OF the material.
Professor Haverfield is uncertain
whether it was really certified under
the order of the emperor, or whether
it is a private venture, masquerading
as official. In any case, there Is no
question of the date, and the discovery
is of considerable antiquarian interest

An Almanac Monopoly.

The sale OF almanacs was oIce a
lucrative monopoly. Queen Elizabeth
granted the sole right to publish "ai-
manacs and representations" to the
Stationers' company. and James ex-
tended the privilege to the universi-
ties of Oxford and Cambridge. but for
centuries only these three bodies were
permitted to issue printed calendars
The monopoly ended when the claim
of the king to the privilege OF grant
ing or withholding permission to issue
calendars-a survival. perhaps, from
days when kings asserted their right
to regulate all things including even

disproved and proclassoed nonexis-
