FOWLS NEED PROTEIN
heterogeneous Material Essential
to Egg Production.
Small Proportion Of Beef Scrap With
Bran, Shorts and Whole Wheat
Produces Good Results Says
Kansas Expert.

Protein is essential to heavy egg
production. In just what form to sup
ply this food element is question that
puzzles many farmers, as well as
townspeOple, who are not in a posi-
ton to grow their own feed.
Insects-in seasOn-furniSh much
protein where the birds are on range.
Poultry feeders have used raw meats
or by-prOducts of packing plants,
known as beef scrap. AS the demand
has increased, the price of the latter
has advanced. Now a few poultry
raisers consider it too expensive and
are supplying protein through vege-
table sources.
CottOnseed meal is the most COM
monty used substitute, but where this
has been given in place of all other
heavy protein supplying feeds, the re-
suit has not been all that could be de-
sired, points out N. L. Harris, super
intendent Of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
On the other hand, where cottonseed
meal has been used as supplement to
beef scrap at the rate of so per cent of
the ration, it apparently has given as
good results as an exclusive meat
scrap diet. On account of the bulk
needed it is impossible for hen to
consume enough sour milk or butter
milk.
Ordinarily the beef scrap should
constitute 10 per cent of the ration. In
the opinion Of Mr.. Harris.

the water. The water is then drawn
| off through the same strainer used for
the buttermilk. The same quantity of
water, at the same temperature, is
| again added, and the washing opera
ton is repeated until the water drawn
from the churn shows no color of but
termilk. In addition to removing but
termilk the wash water has the effect
of hardening the butter.
Sailing and Working Butter.
After the washing in the churn has
been finished the butter.wOrker is
scalded and cooled with cold water to
swell the pores of the wood and pre-
vent the butter from sticking. The
churn is then drawn near the worker
and the butter granules are taken
from the churn with paddle and ladle
and placed on the worker. The hands
should never touch the butter, as their
warmth melts the fat, and if they are
not clean such handling is insanitary.
The butter is sailed on the worker.
Fine, clean salt in the proportion Of
one ounce to the pound of butter
should be sprinkled uniformly over the
butter. More or less salt may be used
as the taste of the consumer may pre-
fer.
Working the butter should be done
by pressing the pile Of granules with
the lever until the butter is in q fat
mass about one inch thick. This should
then be folded over upon itself and
the fiattening process repeated, the
butter being pressed carefully in order
to avoid making it greasy. 1t should
be worked in this way until the salt is
evenly distributed throughout the
mass. The working of butter dis
tributes the salt and expels the excess
moisture. The edges of the butter
when broken or pulled apart should
have a granular appearance similar to
broken cast steel or broken half
baked potato. Properly worked but
ter retains its granular form at all
times. Too much working or working
the butter when too soft destroys the
grain, and the edges when broken or
pulled apart have slightly stringy
appearance, like chewing gum pulled
apart.

"Yellowness' did not appear in any
degree of frequency in the present war
until the Somme offensive was well
under way. The Champagne offensive
did not last long enough to produce
the disease. 1t is believed, and the
French did not classify the maIady
under its proper terms if they encoun-
tered it at all at Verdun.
But when dozens and scores and

doctors concentrated on the peculiar

USE THOUGHT WHEN MOVING
Exercise Of a Little Common Sense
Will DO Away With Much
Discomfort.

When n must move, begin with
n small. Out-of-sight tasks that will
not render the house untidy and I'M
comfortable long before leaving ii. A
little thought and Il look around the
house will disclose many of the be-
longin-s that are not in genera use.
For instance, stuff in the pantry, in
the storerooln, superabundant grocery
supplies, temporarily discarded cloth
ing. sureriluous ornaments,
porcelain and glassware, books, music
and Il thousand other things, all of
which can be dislodged without de-
stroylng the appearance Of the house
while those abiding in the same will
not be the wiser for it.
Dispose of unnecessary possessions
that someone else may be glad to
make use of, then pack clothing not
in use into boxes and mark the con-
tents on each box. Books, pictures
and ornaments are best packed in
rather small boxes that are easy to
handle. Have carpets, rugs and mat
ting cleaned. rolled and tied.
For packing kitchen utensils, Jars of
fruit, ETC., tubs are best, for they have
handles. A pot or kettle in the bet
tom might have several Jars placed in
1t with bits Of paper, hay or smaller
articles, like knives and forks, to hold
them steady, but be careful not to
have anything to extend higher than
the sides OF the tub.
Barrels are best for the fine china
and glassware. When packing break
ables, remember that every article
must be prepared Sc that none of it's
surface is left exposed to pressure
without support? Stuff all hollow ar
ticles as full as possible, surround all
handles, stems, ETC., by padding SO
thick that the article becomes, as near
~ as possible, Il solid ball. Cups and
glasses should not be slipped inside
each other unless well covered with
padding. Plates and saucers may be
made in a pile with stuffing between,
and the whole made solid by bands
of muslin wound round them. Excel
sior, hay and newspapers are all good
packing material, but often kitchen
towels, holders, underwear, etc, may
be used to steady things and get
themselves transported ut the same
time.

TAKE STAINS FROM BATH TUB
Kerosene the Best Agency That Can
Be Employed for the Purpose,
Says Authority.

The most efficient method of re-
moving that oily deposit which forms
on the sides of the porcelain bathtub
and bowl is to use kerosene. Take
some soft paper, moisten with kero-
sene and rub owe the soiled part.
This will cut the grease easily and the
extra Kerosene can be wiped up with
more paper, which, with the first,
should be burned, to avoid danger.
The fixtures may then be washed with
plenty of soap and hot water and
they are clean. This method requires
very little rubbing and is not inju-
rious to the finish.
Avoid the use Of soda or securing
powders. These will in time injure
the finish Of the enamel.
To remove brown stains caused by
standing or dripping water use Il lit
tie oxalic acid and wash out with
plenty of clear water. This is very
effective.-Nellie M. Killgore, Colo
