ECONOMICAL WAYS TO
CONVERT CORN FODDER
INTO MEAT AND MANURE

The most economical way Of
handling corn slower is to put it in
TO the silO. If generally adopted,
this practice would end waste
through wrong methods that now
amounts TO 50 per cent of all the
slower fed. says the United States
department of agriculture. II would
place at the disposal of the farmer
an enormous mass OF roughage "a

and 10 maintain soil fertility i'm the
most economical of all ways-by
the production of manure.
That the value Of slower as feed is
recognized to some extent is indi-
Gated by the fact that Sis per cent
of what is produced is fed IN some
way. Frequently, however. 4 is moi
the right way. For instance. such
practices as pulling the fodder" OF
''tcpping" the corn are most waste

The White Aseel is one of the
oldest races of fowls. Historians
claim this is the fowl whose battles
are alluded TO in the institutes" of
Mena. 1000 b. c. "Aseel' in an
Arabic word meaning high caste. q"
The rulers of India bred this fowl
for fighting, and 10 this day both
sexes are extremely combative.
Aseels are known in black. black
red. white, gray, spangles, speckles
and notifies, but the first three are
generally accepted as the distinct
varieties.

ish. others using the White Aseel
in like manner produced White
Cornish fowls. The latter. while
partaking in a general way Of the
huge muscular formation of its
Aseel progenitor. proved To be a
most excellent table fowl.
Aseel fowls in America are bred
only for ornamental purposes. They
have never become popular here
probably because the females are
poor layers. Aseel fowls weigh five
pounds for females and six pounds
for males. and in this respect suffer
in comparison with the Cornish
fowls. their descendants, which run
from six TO eight pounds for the
females and eight 20 II pounds for
males.

Table Scraps Not Garbage.
The idea of feeding garbage to a
flock of chickens may intrude on the
sensibilities of some, though il is
deemed a common practice with
pigs The idea. however, is more
apparent than real. We prefer TO
use the term table scraps" any
how, since there is a difference be-
tween the two. Celery tops and the
tops of beets and other vegetables,
the outer leaves of lettuce and cab
bage. vegetable parings, stale bread,
ends of meat left-overs of cereals
and sour milk are none the less edi-
BILE because they are such. They
have lost none of their value as
food. except that they no longer APP
peal to the human taste. When fed

mixture of odds and ends gives
