HENS FOR EGGS
Problem Requires Coed Judgment
and Keen Observation
Fowls Should Have Foods High In
Food Elements Found In Eggs-
Whole Grain Ration Is Not to
Be Recommended.
BY 3. L. KENIPsTER, Missouri College
of Agriculture)

BY B. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri College
Of Agriculture0
A hen laying 200 eggs In year Is
aot at all unusual. A fourpOund hen
laying this number will produce six
times her weight in eggs. To do this
she will require from 70 to 50 pounds
Of feed. For economical production 1t
is necessary (D that the food be
properly selected, (2) that It be fed
In correct proportion and in judicious
manner in order that her digestive or
gans may be kept in good condition,
(S) that she be fed enough so that she
has plenty Of surplus for egg produc-
ton.
The problems Of poultry feeding re-
qulre good judgment and keen observa-
ton. Hens fed for egg production
should have foods high in the food ele-
ments which are found in eggs. Those
fed in the fattenlng pens should have
the foods whichmost economically pro-
duce fat. The best ration, then, is the
one which supplies most economically
the food requirements Of the bird for
the purpose for which 1t is kept.

LONDON, England, Aug. 15.-Boys,
here's 9 special dispatch from the
worlds war center meant just for you
for every Fairmont youngster who
wants to help Uncle Sam win the war!
Lieut..Gen. Sir Robert Baden-POwell,
founder and chief of nearly 100000 Boy
Scouts In the British empire, has given
me this message for you.
To begin with, this war is really
YOUR war. Your fathers and uncles
and big brothers are coming here to
fight and die for your sakes. They
want you, when you grow up, to be able
10 1--we in a world which is happy and
Bafe. They don't want you or your
children ever again to have to 80 into
the trenches and be killed.
Aud they know the world will never
DO safe for you until the Kaiser's army
Is beaten. Because they are fighting
for you, you will want to help them
beat that army.
Since the war broke out the boys of
Great Britain have been helping, Sir
Robert Baden.Powel showed them
how.
"There is hardly anything the Boy
Scouts haven't done
1.-THE day war broke out we had more
than a thousand scouts modified for
maneuvers. And from mere play, they
went into the coast patrol in real earn
sst. The government was glad to get
them and their services were so Valua-

"a tremendous lot has entered the
navy, and others have joined the army,
where, because Of their practice, they
take to trench life like ducks to water.

home are accomplishing marvellous
things.

that the hen cannot do well II fed on
a whole grain ration. Not only does
O ration Of grain fail to furnish the
proper food nutrients, but such a ra'
ton is difficult for the bird to digest
properly. The great fault with the
farmer in his poultry feeding is that
he attempts to feed a whole grain ra-
ton, and generally only one grain at
that. Such o ration results in poor
egg production and also causes diges'
tive disorders and liver and kidney
troubles. Complaints Of this kind fire.
Quently come to the department Of
poultry husbandry and suggested
change in the ration has usually re-
suited in the elimination Of the trou'
bic. Efficient digestion demands a
combination Of whole and ground
grains. A ration should consist Of
grains and ground feeds. Generally
speaking, twice as much grain should
be consumed as ground feed. This
depends, Of course, upon the nature
Of the foods fed.
A good ration for egg production can
be made with combination Ct grains
and ground feeds. For grains, equal
parts by weight Of wheat, corn, or in
the winter time twice as much corn as
wheat, may be used. For ground feed,
a mixture Of equal parts of bran,
shorts, and cornmeal may be used. Eff
fclent egg production requires also
that this ration be supplemented with
either sour mllk--alI that the birds
