hoppers, but visit the pen in person early
| morning and late afternoon and when
feeding the grain watch the birds and
get acquainted with them. Much can be
gained in this way toward securing prac-
teal knowledge about the management
of flock.
When planning the ration. use moth
ing but the common. wholesome grains.
which can be purchased reasonably In
the local markets. 1t Is impossible to
| give any best ration for all locations
or for all seasons all breeds, but the
| following suggestions will aid the poul
| try keeper to plan from available feeds
! the best combination.
a properly planned dry mash should
contain n number of different ingredients
to give variety to the ration Variety
increases the palatability of the feed and
| induces the flock TO eat more. The fol-
lowing ingredients can we'll be used in
n mash in the approximate amounts as
given:
Wheat middlngS ............... 200 lbs.
Wheat bran ...................... oho lbs
Ground oats NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 100 lbs.
Gluten meal Observation-Disclosures. 100 lbs
corn meal Observation-Disclosures. ltO IDS.
Ground alfalfa ................. 100 lbs
To these amounts should be added 10
per cent. Of meat scrap and 10 per cent
Of bone meal or 10 per cent of fish scrap,
| whichever is most available.
| This mas can be mixed in small or
large quantities. depending upon the fa-
cillties of the poultryman. The proper
ton of the ingredients should be kept
| close ~ those mo 1nd oh
should he kept before the flock all day.
SUGGESTION FOR GRAIN RATION.
The floor of the house should be COW
cred with deep. coarse litter. In this lit
ter grain ration should be scattered
twice a day a good rule is to feed OF
! this grain at each feeding what the birds
will clean up in half an hour. A more
definite rule is to feed in the morning
one pound of ration to twenty birds and
at night one pound to ten birds. The
grain ration can he made by mixing the
following Ingredients
w neat ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 2O lbs.
| Corn (cracked) .................. 200 lbs.
oats OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 100 lbs.
| These rations should be mixed in con-
siderable bulk and stored in barrels or
bins. thus reducing the labor of feedinf
and insuring that the ration each day is
the same.
In addition to the above all that is nee
essary is the feeding of greens about moor
each day and keeping fresh cool water,
plenty of grit and shell always before
the fowls. This certainly is not n hard
or complicated process Give 1t a trial
but be sure to do as directed. Don't try
some 'secret" which has been sold for a
dollar and then wonder why results are
not what you had expected.

CHURCH. ATTENDANCE.

A count OF church congregations in

that the attendance the past summer
has been 2S per cent more than us

The question is often discussed

atheists and professed skeptics were
arguing on every street corner and
loafing places. Yet opposition is one

BILE that the open hostility to the
church of twenty-five years ago helped
Il more than the indifference of more
recent years.
What keeps CHURCH attendance down
Is rarely direct antagonism. 1t is
more the fact that people are tired
after a strenuous modern week day
and like TO slep late on Sunday. Still
more frequently IL is that they have
excursions and entertainments and
sports that they wish TO enjoy. Per-
haps this is why attendance gains
in hard times. The man with costly
family end desire for economy may
ieei that he may get out of the day
cheaper with a quiet attendance at
church.

Chaplin to appear in comedy
Thriller at the Palace today, entitled
"Shanghaied, " full of surprises and
unexpected comic situations might al
most be called thriller" SO filled is
it with intense action. But while
Charles Chaplin has injected the dra-
matte element into the comedy he
never for moment loses sight of the
fact that he is amusing the public.
In every scene the Chaplin antics
predominate and when he prepares
himself to be thrilled, he is suddenly
jolted into an uproar or laughter which
IS all the more spontaneous and hIlari-
Gus because of the unexpectedness of
the turn of affairs.
In fact. il is this series of surprises.
next To Ch9plin's personality, that
makes the photoplay exceptionally
funny. He prepares his spectators for
an intense scene. then suddenly, like a
thunderbolt. turns the trick into a
most grotesque situation.
