cost and on the purpose for which the
fowls are being fed, says M. c. Kill
patrick of the agricultural extern
sion service. II hard white
fat and white skin are desired, oats
and barley should make up a large
part of the ration. If yellow fat and
skin are desired, cornmeal should be
the principal Ingredient of the mash.
A simple, efficient ration for farm
use consists of 60 pounds cornmeal, 40
pounds wheat middlings, oat flour,
barley meal or huckwheat middlings
Cor 40 pounds Of mixture of equal
parts by weight of these materially
and pounds Of finely ground beef
scrap. This mash is mixed with sour
milk, either skim milk or butter milk,
In the proportion of about 11s pounds
of milk to each pound of mash. The
mash mixed ready for feeding should
have the consistency Of buckwheat
cake batter. 1t is not necessary to
mix the mash fresh for every feeding
as a slight fermentation makes 1t
more palatable and more digestible.
The chickens to be fattened should
be given nothing to eat or drink for at
least IL hours after they are placed
In crates.
At the first feed, only about one
third as much of the mash should be
given as the chickens will eat. The
amount fed should be increased at
each feed until by the fourth feed
they are being given all they will
clean up in from 20 to 80 minutes.
After the fourth feed, every effort
should be made to stimulate the con-
sumption of mash.
Feeding should be done at the same
hours each day. Regularity is essen
tial.
Seek More Coal Relief Days.
Ohios fuel administration will ask
the parent fuel administration al
Washington to give the state three
more 100 per cent" coal relief days
The county forces of the state ad
ministration acted emphatically al
their first meeting, held on the most
inclement day the state yet has had
Men representing practically every
county, local fuel committee members
constituting the statewide Organiza
tion of the Ohio fuel administration
near the close of four-hour session
in the state senate chamber, voted en-
Enthusiastically to request further aid
The senate chamber was crowded, ant
several women sat listening in the gal
lery.
The meeting adopted a motion II
ask the federal fuel administrator tt
lift the lake priority order on thre'
more days between now and the clos'
Of navigation, the entire production
Of the mines on those days to be dis
tributed to dealers for domestic ant
other emergency use.
Addresses by Administrator John
son on the stern necessities OF th'
emergency created by war, and b!
Gov James M. Cox, on the paramount
need for cooperation with Washing
ton and education of the pubic t
realize the emergency, were receive'
with every sign of agreement and ar
proval.
The county committees were give
by Johnson, Gov. Cox and Senate
Pomerene definite ideas of the exiger
cies of the situation and the ditticu
ties faced by Washington in trying t
solve the problem for the nation as
whole.
Particularly it was made clear t
them that the northwest need is not
fanciful theory, but that to prevent
transportation tie-up in the winte
which would cripple all the country
is necessary to get coal to the nortE
west by lake shipments now.
Several points of significance stan
out as an outgrowth of the meeting
They are:
1.-The user of coal must abando
the idea, If he has it, that he can !
the period of the war, fill his celia
with coal as he was wont to do in TO
mer times. He will get simply an
lotment which will be only as large Q
/ his local committee considers equiti
BILE in making a community distrib1
, ton.
2-The local fuel committees poH
ers will extend only to distribution
; such coal as Washington allows tn
= state and to fixing Of prices thereto
t prices to be determined on the bas
? of dealers costs.
3-Any dealer or operator who tri'
t to buck" the game is going to ru
. against the fuel administration
clenched fist. This was made clea
I If dealer declines to give data on b
costs and profits, he may expect
\ price to be fixed SO low that he wi
v be glad to submit his figures.
II a dealer won't sell at the pri'
fixed, he won't sell at all. And If al
. contracts are entered into contrary
5 the fuel administration law, the cas-
3 will 90 to the United States distri
5 attorneys.
: Fewer Saloons in Columbus.

Z licenses were received by the Fran

Z ers who on Oct. 80 granted 351
3 newals, rejected FIVE applications f
3 renewals, held up two pending tri

8 The commission also approved L
& withdrawal of six saloonkeepers vi
3 had quit business because Of the his

3 Columbus is entitled to 433 salooI
