Under a ruling Of the Missouri SUI

to test / Iestion of what revenue
is available for apportionment to the
public school fund, State Superinten-
dent of Schools Howard A. Gass has
made a supplementary apportionment

be due the schools.
The amount in question was APP
proximately half a million dollars. OF
this amount Judge Faris held 1884,
1891, which belonged to the school
fund.
This amount with the regular ap-
portionment made last August, brings
the total school moneys distributed
to the public schools of Missouri by
the state for the year 1915 to $1,943,.
744.O2, or $13,694 more than the ap-

All counties will receive checks

apportionment, $425.35.
The new apportionment proper will
total $~317,379.S5, the balance of the

PREVENT GAPEs IN CHICKENS
Disease Constitutes UnanswerabIe Ar
oument for Keeping All Houses,
Yards and Roosts Clean,

By H. g. EAKINs. Colorado Agriculture,
College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Gapes is caused by wormlike para
sites which become attached to the
mucous membrane of the windpipe
and more often affects young chickens
than older ones. The wings are
dropped, head extended, the bill Is
frequently opened, and a wheeling
sound is heard as the chicken is seen
to be breathing will difficulty.
Treatment is worth while In some
instances, but. the main. thing is pre-
vention. The eggs of the parasites
are expelled from the mouths of dis
eased chickens and may gain entrance
direct into other chickens or the eggs
getting into the soil may be ingested
by angleworms and these being eaten
by fowls will cause them to become
affected. Magpies and other birds may
transmit the disease. This disease
constitutes another unanswerable ar
gument for keeping chicken houses,
yards, pans and roosts clean at all
times.

to make several changes in both the

also in the house itself.
Cellars are needed In the cooler ell

without giving the appearance Of rails

windows for lighting the basement

the method most commonly used for
getting the bungalow effect In colder

The basement that is provided must
be Of a depth sufficient to accommo-
date a modern heating plant. A COM

about I feet 6 inches headroom in the

Other types of heating plants require
slightly less Eeadroom than the hot-alr

In keeping fowls the kind kept has

BEST GRAINS FOR CHICKENS
Barley, Wheat and Corn Tested at
California Station and Found to
Be Equally Valuable.

The chickens digestive system is
quite different from ours, especially
in one particular, the gizzard. You
have all eaten it and know what it is.
but have you ever seer 1t taken from
the birds body when dressing it for
table use? If you have. you know 1t
is full Of fine stones and pieces OF grit.
These are used to help grind up the
food and get it ready for use in the
body, so we must, see to 1t that u
flock Is furnished with plenty of grit.
This should always be kept within
easy reach of the birds.
It Is always a question as to what
grain will give the best results as far
as egg production Is concerned. At
the California experiment station they
tested barley. wheat, and corn and
found them equally valuable II other
feeds were used to supplement them.
This being the case, 1t Is possible to
use the lowest priced grain. II wheat
is fed, the soft wheats or the shrunken
grain that is not used for -four may
be used. However, don't ever feed
musty or spoiled grains. Some people
crack the cor before feeding but this
does not pay except with very young
chicks. It is a good practice to feed
q finely ground mash every third or
Fourth day in place Of the regular
grain feeds. This may be fed wet or
dry. but car should be taken to see
that 1t is evenly ground or the birds
will pick out the coarser particles and
waste much of the finer part. It Is
well to provide fresh meat from time
to time and this may often be fed
finely ground with the mash. When
using 1t be careful that 1t Is fresh and
not spoiled.

Holmes was counting the days until
Laura's return. He meant to ask her
to become his wife. He had no antici.
patton of a refusal. His children.
after p~rotractei quarreling. had
talked of leaving him. Holmes did not
care. He felt that he had resumed
that early life which Lillian's death
had broken off. Only two weeks re-
manned till her return.
He read her letters. A~ffectionate
they were, such as a daughter might
write to a father; yet Holmes read
something dearer into them. In his
i~nfatuation he could hardly wait for
the time to expire.
That evening c telegram was put
into his hand. He tore it open, while
the messenger waited: and, as he did

And it came to him then that life is

the birds should be used to enable
the owner to tell the age of his chick
ems. This a be done by toe-marking
the chicks with a punch when hatch
ed; or the mature birds may be leg
banded in the fall. The fowls for the
breeding pen should be selected from
the n and two-year-old stock in or
der to secure the largest and best eggs
for Matching. In fact the experience
of the Missouri agricultural expert.
ment station shows that in economical
reproduction few hens over two
years old should ever be retained.
The breeding stock should be sep
arated from the general flock. It is
an unnecessary expense to breed from
the entire flock because of the extra
male birds which will be necessary.
1t Is also a poor practice to breed
from the entire flock because some of
the birds do not come up to the keep
ers' ideal Of chickens, and for that
reason should not be used. The worst
fault of the usual method Of breeding
are (1) the use of inferior males, (2)
the breeding Of immature or poorly
developed stock; (3) the breeding
from the entire flock, poor as we'll as
good; and az the selection Of eggs
from the general egg basket. The
farmer should aim to select q few Of
the best females and then mate to
them a good. vigorous male. A few
hens properly handled will produce all
Of the eggs necessary for Matching
purposes. will eliminate the need of
using additional males and will pro-
duce much better progeny.
