FATTENINe POULTRY.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The principle of fattening poultry is
rather simple one. although its an.
plieation may seem somewhat cS,n.
pllcated. Naturally the thing desired
is to get the fowls to consume as large
amount Of feed as possible. 1t would
seem that in order to do this, feed
should be kept before the birds at all
times so that they could help them
selves at any time. This does not
hold true. In order to get birds. or
most any animal, for that matter. to
consume a large amount of feed you
will have to keep their appetites on
edge. II you keep palatable food be.
fore them all the time they soon tire
of it. They Just eat and eat and eat
at first and finally the feed becomes
distasteful to them Fed this way they
will eat lot for a time, but In the
long run will not eat nearly as much
as II they were fed more judiciously.
In feeding fattening poultry always
see that they are hungry for each
meal. This means that you will not
at any time feed them more than they
will clean up quickly.
In as much as poultry is usually fat.
tened to sell as market birds we wish
to get them in condition with as little
expense as possible. We do not have
the problems to contend with in grow.
Ing the chicks or feeding for egg pro-
duction, therefore we can feed much
simpler rations.
We do not have TO supply much
protein to fattening birds. therefore
the cheapest feeds can be used. Corn
and its products are favorite fattening
foods A simple and efficient ration 10
as follows:
Corn meal and wheat middiings
mixed up with milk or butter milk
f1akes an almost ideal fattening
ration. II milk is not available add
about pounds Of meat scrap or meal
to 100 pounds Of corn meal and mid
dlinss and mix up with water.

IMPROVING THE TOBACCO

One Of the simplest and cheapest
methods Of improving the value Of the
average tobacco crop in Maryland 10
70 select good seed plants. choosing
only those plants which conform to a
definite type considered as the ideal
Having fixed on a definite type Of
plant as the ideal, It should be closely
followed year after year and no plant
should be used for seed which does
not conform to this type. In this way
the inferior strains in the mixed type
will be weeded out and the crop will
become more uniform from year to
year If the selection is done with
proper care. The field should be gone
over several times and large num-
ber Of plants selected in the beginning.
By further observation and study the
number of selected plants can be
gradually reduced till the right mum.
Der for seed is reached.
The advantages of selecting good
seed plants, true to type, are lost il
crossing with other sorts is allowed
to occur. Some crop plants appear to
be benefited by free crossing between
plants but this is not the case with to-
bacco. 1t is true, nevertheless, that

delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis, or even stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. Its free from alcohol or drugs.

preme court handed down Thursday
w. l.. Peterson, convicted of usury
and sentenced to three months in
prison, is granted new trial and the
verdict OF the jury in the lower court
is ordered set aside. Peterson took
exceptions to the verdict Of the jury
and carried his case to the higher
court. his exceptions being sustained
in the decision. ... .....
Peterson commended that he had not
been given a fair and impartial trial,
alleging that the court was partisan
in the conduct of the trial, that it in:
correctly construed the usury law,
and that evidence was shut out which
might have been in favor of the de.
PENDANT. The supreme court decision
says, in part: ...~ r..
1T is the duty of trial judge to
demean himself in the way that the
law intends-to act as fair and i'm.
partial arbiter between the parties
taking sides with neither and abstain
ing from remarks and actions that
will tend to impress the jury with the
idea that he is anxious to see one or
the other site succeed. Juries are
wont to bring in the verdict that the
judge seemingly desires that they
should find, hence nothing should be
done which indicates the. verdict that
the court thinks or desires should be
found by the jury. and this is especial
ly true in a criminal case" -. T.. :
