TO GET MORE WINTER EGGS
Modern Hen Cannot Produce Eggs
Without Proper Kind of Material
Protein Is Essential.

Old Mother Nature probably knew
what she was about when she gave
the hen an Unsuitable appetite for
worms and bugs. We may not ap-
prove of the taste of the hen when
she gobbles up nice juicy grub with
a cluck of satisfaction, but the more
we study about the nature of the hen
the more we become convinced that
she needs every bit of animal food
she can get The modern hen that
we are forcing every year to lay more
and more eggs, has improved to a
pretty good egg machine. The food
that she eats goes first to mako blood
bone, muscle, and feathers and then
If she is in the right condition and
gets the right kind of food it goes
into making eggs. But the best hen
cannot make eggs from thin air. The
egg isn't created in her ovary in some
mysterious manner from nothingness
Every ounce, every atom of the egg
comes directly from the food she eats
Like every other machine, you have
to feed the raw material in at one
end to get the finished product out a
the other
Now it happens that the hens bones
muscles and feathers are very largely
made of the same chemical elements
that an egg is made of. A lot of these
| elements are called protein. This pro
tein is not found in sufficient quaint
ties in grains so the other foodstuff:

meat contained these egg making ele
ments. But the poultryman canno
afford to pay the beef trusts fancl
prices for their meats, not even fOl
| their best hens, so they had to lool
! for a cheaper kind of food that woulC
take the place of meat. They were a

build up its own root structures very
much. In the fall, if left to itself, it
will make strong and needed growth

FEEDING ALFALFA
TO FARM HORSES
Must Be Fed With Judgment and
Care-AnimaIs Are Quite
Apt to Eat Too Much.

Alfalfa is splendid horse feed, but
must be fed with judgment and care.
Because of its palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa, if permitted to have free access
to it. The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al.
falfa and other roughage than he
really needs to maintain his weight.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accept
able to horses.
Feed mature horses first and sec.
ond cutting alfalfa which is free from
mold and dust.
A sudden change of feed deranges

Advantage of siIencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value of the Maxim silencer ver..- little.
so far as military efficiency is con-
cerned. in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that IL
eliminates fully half of the recoil of
the rifle from the action of the gases
in it's chambers, and 1t gives the off,
GERS much better control over the fire.
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles. 1t cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise of the
1920 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-Outing.

Cement is coming to be used more
and more for construction work on
the farm. This is only in keeping with
progress made in concrete construc-
tion along other lines. A great many
objections are made to concrete as a
suitable material for silo construction.
Besides a number of others, the fol-
lowing are some of the most common:
Concrete walls allow mold and decay
around the walls, are affected by the
acid Of silage, and they cannot be
built to keep them from cracking and
thus leak air. Observation Of concrete
and stave silos standing side by side
shows that the freezing is no greater
in one than the other. By coating the
walls with wash of neat cement or
tar pitch they can be made perfectly
air, water and acid proof. If properly

Selecting Brood sows.

In selecting sows to form a breed
ing herd one should always take the
sows that show much length of body,
as such a sow will prove a better
breeder and raise larger litter than
a short, chunky, wide SOW. Many men
make the error of selecting a hand
some, fat, short SOW, but this is not
the best kind.

This has been permitted from MAY

times as within 10 to 60 minutes of
steamers
Your position is, therefore, one in
which the case Of serious accident

shore, while possibly having on board
as many as 1893 persons for whom
there are neither life boats nor life

at present the permitted thing.
THE seaman's bill will alter this
in your summer service so that your
vessel must have boats and RATS for
so per cent. Of all on board, but only
60 per cent. may be RATS and 40 per
cent. must be boats. If it is true that
you can carry no more boats and
RATS. then certainly the seaman's act
will oblige you to reduce. the number
Of passengers carried.
Speaking candidly, it seems to the
writer personally and without criti-
cism of. your present course, which
is permitted by the lawful authorities,
that the existing conditions permit
greater risk of serious loss of life and
less protection against same, either
for you or for the public, and that
requirements of the seaman's law,
however, temporarily difficult, are in
the interests of public policy and of
public safety.

short visit before leaving for distant
Palestine, where he is ordered in the
Consular service to represent the
United States and act for Russia at
the city of Joppa, which some people
may remember as mentioned IN the
old testament Of the Bible.
Vice-Consul Dick has, for the past
six months, been stationed at the
Consular bureau at Washington, af-
ter a stay Of three and a-half years
at Yokohoma, Japan. from which
which he returned several months
ago. He arrived in Sumter on last
Thursday and leaves on next Thurs
day for Washington and New York,
from which place he will sail on the
French steamer Chicago Of the Com
pagnie General Transatlantiqne on
July 81, 1915, to Bordeaux, and
thence by rail to Marseilles. From
there he will sail via 2. & O. steamer
to Port Said. Alexandria, Egypt, will
be the next stop and he will probably
go from there to Joppa, Palestine,
aboard an American man-of-war. At
Jerusalem he will receive instructions
from the Consul and return to Joppa
for stay during the remainder Of
the war. Here he will be American
vice-cOnsul in charge of the interests
of Russia for the duration of the
war.
At Joppa Mr.. Dick will not be ex-
actly in the war zone. but he will be
quite close to it, Turkish and Ger
man troops operating against the
Suez Canal will be moving in this ter
ritOry, passing between Jerusalem and
Joppa, a distance of fifty miles, and
quite close enough for him to hear
and see something Of the war.
