SCIENTIFIC CHICKEN
FEEDING PAYS BEST
Conkey gives reasons why
care should be taken in
the feeding of your
poultry.
By &. E. COnkey.

In studying feeding, Dear ID
mind a few facts regarding the
domestication and training of
what was originally wild fowl in
the jungles of India. Nature IN
tended this wild ancestor of the
modern hen to lay but twelve eggs
per year and then only in the
proper season. Now we have
trained the hen to lay ten times
this number and to lay them at all
seasons of the year. And yet
there are many people who tell
you to follow Nature in the feed
ing and raising of your chickens!
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
| Follow SCIENCE
This is the day of progress We
fly in the air though nature in
tended that as the domain
of the birds. We travel un
der the sea though nature In.
tended that as the domain Of the
fishes. We do today what we
thought was impossible yesterday
with the help of science instead of
merely following nature. Aud 40
today the poultryman must follow
science instead of nature. Since
it is against the nature of the bird
to- lay an egg in winter, the very
time when eggs are highest in
price, and we want them most, we
must feed something that will
stimulate action and produce the
desired result. Feed must be bet
ter and easier to assimllate than
nature intended. The bird must
have more care and more warmth
than under natural conditions
Demanding unnatural results, we
must employ unnatural methods.
WELL BALANCED RATIONs
A certain percentage of the fail
ures constantly met with by poul
trymen is directly due to the mat
ter Of feeding and you can ruin
the entire flock in u very short
time by improper and careless
handling. Feed we'll balanced "a
tions and by a swell balanced ra-
ton" we mean q food that con
tains all the elements that the
bird needs and which at the same
time insures the health of the
fowl.
Experiments show that with a
good mash containing the proper
concentrated materials, the selec
ton of grains used in connection is
not of such great Importance as is
sometimes imagined. The fowls
appreciate change of food occa-
siOnally, however, and no one or
two grains when fed constantly
will afford the variety Of food that
is considered necessary. A change
of ration from time to time is
therefore advisable.
OTHER FOODS NECESSARY
Remember that grain alone,
docs not make complete food.
Gram must be supplemented by
proper supply Of green food, AMI
NAL matter, minerals and grinding
materials. Here we enter into q
very broad field which is well
worth the most careful study.
We will not try here to explain
the different food elements such
as protiens, carbohydrates, etc,
but will take these up and explain
them IN simple way IN a succeed
ing article.
While fowls want variety in
their feed, do not change the feed
ing ratlons too suddenly or too
often. If you do, you will very
likely discover that it has bad
effect upon your birds.

sorry RationinQ.

Observation-Disclosures general policies
In food saving are now being main
tanned by three great nations, the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many.
The German Idea Is strict rationin.
of the consumer, and recently the Unit
ed States food administration issued
figures showing the present German
ration, which is meager as. to variety
and far below average dietetic re-
quirements.
The American idea In food saving Is
to secure voluntary cooperation, as far
rs possible, from both the public and
the producer and handlers Of food ar
ticles.
The British Idea lies between the
two. AS little compulsory rationing as
possible is imposed upon the general
public. But there Is a farreaching and
rigid supervision OF all food articles
by regulating the manufacturers and
merchants, by the establishment Of
maximum prices. and after December
80 rati0ning cards are to be Issued for
sugar.
What Lord Rhondda Says.
A statement just issued by Lord
RhOndda, the British food controller,
describing the British system Of food
control gives a ~succinct and a clear
picture for comparison Of the food-sav-
Ing measures which r now being fol-
lowed In the United States.
Lord Rhondda says:
my aim Is to safeguard the inter-
ests Of the consumer. to do away with
profteering altogether. and to prevent
excessive profits Of any kind. The
framework Of our machinery IL formed
on the CIVIL service. They IRE the ad-
illustrators, but In all cnses we Sc
cure the best available business men to
advise item, rs well MS a number of
expert committees dealing with almost
every fcod commodity. The policy Is
to limit profits Mt every step from the
producer to the consumer. and nt the
same time to regulate supply.
"A costings department under the
direction Of chartered accountants has
been set up, through which the profits
made by any manufacturer or retailer
Of food can be a~scertained. The coun-
try has been divided into separate
areas. In each Of which a leading firm
OF accountants has been appointed by
this department to do the necessary
work. Reasonable profit based on pre-
war rates is added to the present cost,
the price limits agreed on that basis,
nfter consultation with the representa-
tives OF the trades concerned.

hand. He remembered a telephone
message that had come the same morn
ing from Lowenstein asking him to get
hold Of some silk. In a few minutes
the two crooks, now friends, were
plotting a new depreciation together.

Burke. Get hold Of ten bolts OF silk

When Marshall answered that he

his chance. He rushed around to the
station door and throwing 1t open,
yelled: I'm a good mani"
For Burke to compare notes with the
newcomer took only a moment: the
three came to terms and Burke left.
Helen, to apprehend Masters, had
had q pamphlet printed, containing her
fathers picture and a description Of
his double. These she had sent to
the police ver the country asking for
any information that might come. And
she did, at length, receive word that
looked favorable from a distant city.
Securing permission, she went down
to her fathers prison to tell him. Re-
turning she missed the train back and
from q telephone called up Webb.
Burke had returned to the Office re-
porting no news Of the typewriters.
