Whipped cream is an article that the housewife uses all the time, but sometimes the whipping of it length ems it into a tiresome job with fork, egg beater or spoon.

If the cream is too warm plunge the jar in cold water and the defect is remedied inn mediately. Cold cream will be whip ped deliciously this way and in half the time that the ordinary way re- QuireS

Lack of towels in a bathroom is an inexcusable oversight. A single towel bar is not enough for the average fam fly. A good plan is to reserve one or two for the towels in use, where they can be spread full width while drying. The practice insisted upon in some homes is that all towels be folded after using, regardless of condition, is both insanitary and foolish.

PRACTICAL DESIGNS FOR FEED H0PPERs

it would tire the appetite. A chick
ems taste Graves variety the same
rs the human appetite. and if suf-
ficient variety is not supplied the fowls
appetite becomes jaded and it fails
to eat in large enough quantities to
maintain q high state of productive
ness.
When planning a system of poultry
feeding, two other factors must be
given car "ul consideration: First, the
cost of the ration, and second, the
amount of labor involved in placing
it before the birds. 1t is conceivable
that a ration might be adopted
that would give an unusually heavy
egg production, but costing so much,
either in the value of the food itself
or the labor of feeding it, that the
resulting profit would be insignifcantly
small. In other words a complicated
system of feeding requires so much
labor that few birds can be cared for
by one man. Therefore. as a CONNER
cial proposition, it is quite obvious that
the net profit per man is equally as i'm
portant as the profit per hen.
Dry Mash Big Saving.
Dry mash, mixture of various
ration, which is to say, a food supply
composed of various ingredients, care
fully proportioned to meet the fowls
ground grains and by-products, is
the most economical feed, not alone
from the feed-bill standpoint, but in
the labor involved in placing it be-
fore the flocks. And it also saves con-
siderable wear and tear on the fowls
digestive systems. In the absence of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-10-28

teeth the hen was given a gizzard for
the expaess purpose of grinding solid
food, yet it is generally considered to
be more economical to have a part
of the grinding done by power mill
stones. A heavy egg yield is an in
tensive process; hence 1T must be- as
sisted in every way possible.
Still another virtue of the dry mash
is the positive assurance that the
Fowls are eating a properly balanced
ration providing, oil course, that the
mash is so compounded. Where whole
or broken grain is fed exclusively, or
in large quantities supplemented by
little mash feed, it is highly probable
that some hens will eat an excess of
corn, others wheat, and others oats.
| Thus the error OF this method is ap-
parent. In dry mash feeding the hen
has little or no selection, neither can
she be robbed of certain elements by
her more voracious companions. She
eats precisely what the attendant has
prescribed for her--a properly proper
toned compound of protein, carbo-
hydrates and mineral substances re-
quired to preserve health and stimulate
egg production.
Principles of Mash Hoppers
In feeding dry foods to poultry of
any age, especially a dry mash mix
ure, success depends in great meas
ure on the receptacles used. There
must be constant supply. easily ac-
cesSible to the birds, conveniently re-
plenished by the attendant, adequate
storage space, so as to obviate the ne
cessity for refilling, and the contents
must be kept dry, clean, sweet and
af oil
the receptacles or hoppers in which
the mash is stored and fed, must be
non-wasteful and of such simplicity
that they are easily cleaned and SER
viceable. If the hoppers are to be
placed outdoors they must be proof
against wind and rain. and IL rats
and mi"e abound the hoppers must
be fitted with some means of closing
hem against these pests at night
Next to keeping the contents clean,
the most important feature about. a
mash hopper and one that Is frequent
ly overlooked. is some provision to
prevent the mash from going flat
that Is, compressed into solid, COM
pact mass, either by it's own weight
or by that of heavy grid, such as
is frequently installed to prevent
waste. The mash must be light and
flaky or 1t will not be relshed by the
fowls. Chickens will eat q mash that
is compressed, of course, just as we
humans when put to necessity will eat
distasteful or poorly cooked food, but
they will not eat it in large enough
quantities to meet the demands of
heavy egg production.
In the three types of mash hoppers
illustrated in the accompanying dia-
grams. all of which may be said to be
automatic, in their action, they have
been designed with the view to stor-
ing liberal quantities of mash, and at

They Must Be Accessible,

Wasteful and Serviceable
For Best Results the Mash
Must Not Be Allowed to
Form a Compact Mass
BY ROBERT ARMSTRONG
Expert Poultryman and Writer

Almost every progressive poultry
man agrees that the use of dry mash
is tho most generally satisfactory
method of feeding chickens, from the
two-day-old chick to the mature fowl.
The dry mash is usually kept before
the birds at all times consequently it is
essential to keep the feed clean and
sweet, easily accessible to the fowls and
in feccptacles that are convenient for
the attendant to replenish. A number
of practical designs for feed hoppers
arc described in this article with in
structions on how to build them.
Successful, experienced poultrymen
! have long since realized the import
ance of feeding their f1ocks balanced
bodily requirements. No one grain
is a complete ration, and even if such
"a grain were to be had, it would be
unwise to feed it exclusively because

the better, to prevent litter or dirt be-
ing scratched into them.
Metal hoppers are somewhat more
desirable because they are easier to
keep clean than wooden troughs, but
they, are also more expensive aud more
troublesome to make. The same de-
signs, however may be worked out
with galvanized sheet iron or roofing
tin.

in the center of a room, while the
type shown in Fig. 5 is intended to be
placed against wall, where 1t may be
secured in some way. The lids are
hinged as shown, and they are made
slanting to discourage roosting on
them.
The feeding apron on these hoppers
is kept as low as possible for very
young chicks. After the chicks are
feathered. it is advisable to raise the
