7. M. C. A. EXTENDS ITS WORK
War Has Enabled Organization to
Gain a FoothoId in Both Austria
and Russia.

The Y. NJ. G. A. is one of the big
gest and most efficient religious under
takings in the world. So practical is
the nature of its work, and so care
fully are it's finances administered by
competent business men that it is cas-
ier to raise money for Y. M. G. A.
than for any other religious work.
Plans for its worldwide activities next
year call for the expenditure Of $4,50O,-
000.. The war has enlarged its Euro
pean field, and 100000 of the budget
will be spent there. From Switzerland
to central Russia the association is
now maintaining $50 graded schools
and colleges which the instructors as
well as students are prisoners of war.
The total enrolment approximates
3,250,000 men. For the efrst time in
It's history the Y. NJ. G. A. has gained
a foothold in Austria and Russia.
There is no other religious organiza7
ton that could have so promptly and
so efficiently taken up the Opportuni-
ties for service offered by the Euro
pean war, ministering to Jews, Catho-
lies and Protestants, all on equal foot
ing. Along the Texas border where
American troops have been, stationed,
the Y. NJ. G. A. has founded stations,
and nearly 40 schools in which Span
ish is the most popular course. Half
a million dollars has been laid out for
the work in Texas, and million for
the industrial department in various
railroad centers throughout the coun-
try.-Leslie's.

VARIETY IN DIET ESSENTIAL
Diarrhea, Indigestion and Liver Trou-
bIes Caused by oVerfeeding or
Poorly Balanced Ration.

Overfeedlng or poorly-balanced ra-
tion causes dlarrhea, indigestion and
liver troubles in the chicken flock. A
diet that is practically all of one thing
may often be responsible: There may
be an overfeedipg of corn which causes
the bird to become too fat and in that
condition they are unable to throw off
the germs.
Diarrhea is caused by too much an
imal food. Lack of this, entirely, is
also just as dangerous. The happy
medium should be struck in all-feed-
ing. The ration that contains no green
feed is almost as detrimental to the
hen as all grain and no hay would be
for the dairy COW.
Green material of some sort is need
ed for health and egg production. Liv-
er trouble results, usually, from too
much food Of a fattening nature.

Entertainino Was Too Strenuous.

A fye-year-oId boy had spent the
morning at the home of a neighbor,
who owns a beautiful collie pup. The
youngster and little dog had romped
about the lawn in high glee until, in
play, the collie scratched the lads leg
with its teeth. Hurrying home the
child told his mother the dog had bit
him and that he was not going over to-
see its owner again. M
"You should be ashamed to talk that
way, son." the mother replied. "You
know you love the puppy and the LIS
have been lovely to you. They have
entertained you all morning"

claimed the boy. ''They have enter

the whole grain feed. The scratch ma
terial should be changed every ten or
twelve days as it will become foul and
breed disease.
Green Feed Needed.
Grass, grit, bugs and grains are the
summer food for the hens. These in.
gradients should be supplied in the
winter when hens cannot range. The
green food can be given in form of al.
falfa leaves, turnips, cabbage, beets
and sprouted oats. The commercial
grit and oyster shells may be pur'
chased at a nominal price from the
poultry dealer. In order to have a
meat diet one can purchase the meat
scraps or beef meal and blood meal
from the poultry man in the city or
town. A mixture of two-thirds corn
and one-third wheat is good grain
feed for winter time. This furnishes
q variety of grains and is appreciated
by the flock.
1t is best to keep the hens in the
house until the frosts are off the
ground. About ten o'clock is a good
time to open the door and let them
out when the sun is shining bright
If snow is ON the ground keep the hens
inside the house. A hen will not lay
that must stand around in the cold
snow.
My experience has proved that it is
wise to keep a dry mash before the
hens at all times. In a self-feeder put
a mixture of two-thirds bran, one.
sixth corn chops and One-sixth dry
beef scraps. Here the hens can get
their fill and have plenty of food fol-
egg making. Give cold water that is
just drawn from the well and be sure
to keep water vessels perfectly clean.

(By w. D. NEALE, Coiorado)
For winter layers the eight-mOnth-old
pullets and the yearling hens are the
best of the flock. The pullet that has
been Stunted is defective or unhealthy
should be removed from the flock. Also
the hens that lack in vigor should be
culled out. All hens more than year
old should be sent to market. The 9TH
ers, will be compelled to board them
If left in the laying pen. They will not
pay for their keep in most instances.
The long-legged, narrOw-breasted
and flat-bodied pullets will not be
good layers. A pullet that more than
pays her way must be built close to
the ground with good craw capacity
and have thick body, giving plenty
of room to the vital organs.
The early-hatched pullet should be-
gin to lay in October and by the first
of the year she should be doing her
best. The pullet that does not begin
to lay before cold weather generally
delays the matter until spring opens.
However, the pullets that are prop
erly housed and put on an egg-laying
diet will begin before the month Of
October has passed.
The aim of poultrymen should be to
produce as near as possible summer
conditions for his winter layers. This
demands a comfortable house, one
that prevents all drafts Of cold air
and keeps out the rain and snow. 1t
may be open to the south, but this
opening should be closed during the
stormy weather to keep the flock COM
Portable. The floor should have Il

On the whole, though those oddities
did not find favor with the better

much change in the footwear outlook.
High boots, between seven and eight
inches high, and about the same in

used for street wear, although pumps
and spats viii be worn to some ex-

The Flat Heel.
There is new heel, and, although
high heels for dress will be usual, the
new heel, which is only a little over

shoes. 1t is an admirable heel for

These are communicated by the
agency of a germ, or they may de.
velop from latent germs retained in
the system from a previous attack. AT
any rate, q bird that is subject to
these diseases should never be used as
a breeder. She may communicate the
weakness to her offspring.
When member of the flock shows
signs of any of these germ diseases
she should be removed to another pen
and the place ventilated and fumigat-
ed. Also all drinking fountains and
feeders which she may have used
should be scalded and disinfected. It
is well also to clean the pen. Filth
and large accumulations of droppings
beneath the roosts have a tendency to
multiply the roup germs. Fresh air,
sunlight and cleanliness destroy them.
