LIGHT FOR OPERATING ROOM
Green to Be Better Color Than
White, at Present Used.

The immaculate white" of an oper.
ating room and everything in 1t has
long been a byword, but it is more
than likely that this will soon change
to a "verdant green" or some other
shade OF natures favorite color. Brit
ish physicians, who have lately had
an amplitude OF practice in operating
rooms, are finding that white is too
wearisome to the eye and causes ia
igue. 1t also detracts from the value
of light on and within the wound
Light is now being focused on the
wound, not around it, with much bet
ter results.
One eminent surgeon of Leeds has
ntted up an operating room entirely
Of green and il Is likely his example
will soon be followed by many others
Green is a restful color, offers no
sharp contract to the colors of the
wound surfaces. and allows ligatures
and sutures to be clearly seen against

and floor OF his operating room green.
the physician was so pleased with the
results obtained that he has now in

BEST RATlONS FOR CHICKENS
Whole Grain Ia Entirely Too Fatten-
ing and Liable to Cause Some
Kind Of Digestive Trouble.

Most farmers feed too much whole
grain to their chickens; many feeding
nothing but grain. The feeding of a
ration composed entirely Of whole
grain throws an undue strain upon the
organs of the hens, which is likely to
cause digestive troubles. Besides.
whole grain is entirely too fattening
and hens receiving such a ration are
never thoroughly nourished, nor do
they preceive the egg-making elements
In the proportion to induce a good egg
yield.
In feeding poultry best results are
obtained by feeding one-half the food
ground. The by-products Of mills are
usually richer in egg-making elements
than the grains from which they are
made. Thus, wheat bran is much rich
er in protein, the egg-making element,
than whole wheat, and it is much
cheaper. The same can be said of mid
dlings.
The ground ration should be bulky
In character, that is 1t should occupy
rather large bulk in proportion to it's
weight. A mash that has given good
results is composed of two parts bran,
one part each of cornmeal, middlings,
cut clover, beef scrap and ground oats
with hulls sifted OUT. This mash can
be fed dry in self-feeding hoppers, or
as a wet mash. If skim milk or but
termilk is to be had in mixing the
wet mash, the proportion of beef scrap
can be reduced one-half.

WHITE LEGHORN

Experience has shown that any
variety of hen will lay, and lay album
dainty. If bred along the right lines.
If you are satisfied as to shape and
color of your fowls. do not change for
something else in the hope of get
ting more eggs, such as Leghorns for
Plymouth Rocks, or Wyandottes for
Minorcas or Brown Leghorns." This
is the advice given by breeder, who
has found from experience that this
changing is merely a waste Of time
and patience.
One frequently sees or hears of a
