MEAT NEEDED FOR CHICKENS
Fowls Confined in Yards or Pens Re-
quire Something TO Take the
Place of Insects.

Fowls confined in close pens, yards
or runs where they have little chance
to get insects will need some kind of
meat. Grain will not supply enough
protein and mineral matter for best
results. na
To supply this demand for protein
and mineral matter meat meal, meat
scrap or tankage is generally fed. Lay
ing hens especially need some of these
forms of feed. Young chickens will
thrive better If fed meat in some form
occasionally.
The best way to feed meat meal or
meat scrap is to mix 1t with wheat,
bran, rice bran, cornmeal, corn chops
or shorts. The mash should not be
very wet and sloppy, but should be
moist enough to adhere and thus save
waste of the fine particles of meat.
Many poultry feeders feed meat
meal mash once day, usually in the
morning, others give two or three
| feeds of this mash week.

FEEDING DRY MASH TO HENS
Ground Grain Should Be Available
for Layers at All Times-Feed
Is Easily Dlgested.

Dry mash. consisting of ground
grain, should be available for free ac'
cess for the laying hen at all times
She will eat at least one-half as much
mash by weight as grain. If 1t IL
placed where she can help herself
whenever she wants IT, There is o
decided advantage in feeding dry mash
In addition to the regular morning and
night grain feed. The mash is ground
feeds. and, therefore, is more readily
digested and assimilated by the hen.
An occasional feeding at noon of the
same dry mash mixed with milk and
fed in troughs of sufficient length for
all birds to eat at once will do great
deal toward increasing egg production
What the hen likes Is variety. At this
feeding the table scraps and boiled
vegetables may be mixed In. A small
amount of red pepper added to the
wet mash will, do no harm as stimu
liant. .r

For the last four years, the Penn
sylvanla experiment station has been
collecting data on the cost of raising
Leghorn pullets. In this experimental
work. thousands of chicks have been
hatched, and every item OF expense in
connection with raising them has heen
kept. The results of the experiment
are summarized in recent bulletin as
follows:
!. Based on four seasons work and
several thousand chicks hatched, 1t
required 1.S3 eggs set for every Leg
horn chick hatched.
.. The cost of Matching these eggs
Mt 81 cents per chick, which, when
added to the cost of eggs, increased
the total cost of chick when Matched
to 81 cents.
3. Based on the first IL weeks of
life, 1t took 500 pounds of grain and
mash, and 5.07 pounds of milk, cost
ing 14.3i cents, to feed II Leghorn
chick.
4. During the same time, IL took
$50 pounds of grain and mash and
3.41 pounds of milk costing S.4 cents,
to produce one pound of gain.
8. When figuring cost of feed, fuel
labor and litter, the whole cost of one
pound of gain was 1914 cents.

DECREASE in CONSUMPTION.

The per capita consumption of spir-
ituous, vinous and malt liquors during
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1916,
was. according to the final government
report, 1910 gallons. This Is the small
est figure since 1902. &
While the "withdrawal for consump-
tion" of distilled liquors was greater In
1916 than in 1915. IL was less than in
any year between 1902 and 1915. The
slight increase was chiefly due, says
the commissioner OF internal revenue
to ''the effective enforcement Of the In
ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits"
1t should be remembered that the
withdrawal for consumption" does not
mean that the liquor all went down
the throats of American citizens.
Much of 1t Is forced out Of the gov
crnment warehouses by the expiration
OF the bonded period. When liquor Is
taken out of bond the tax is paid and
1t Is officially recorded as consumed"
AS matter OF fact large part OF 1t
is merely transferred to private ware
houses to await market demands. The
fact that large quantities remain In
bond until forced out by the time limit
is sufficient proof that actual consump-
tlon of splrituous liquors is decreas-
ing.

IN WITHDRAWING ITALY.

Prof. Leonardo Bianchi, an author
ity on alcoholism in Italy. agrees with
Lambroso and Ferri concerning the
degeneration caused by the wine
drinking customs Of his country. He
says:
81 know from my experience that
deep melancholy, persccutional mania.
jealousy leading to the assassination
of the suspected individual can, In
many cases, be directly traced to over
indulgence in the gift Of Bacchus..
Most of our great criminals were hard
drinkers before starting on their CD
reer OF crime, or are sons of hard
drinkers. The headquarters of the
Mano Nera and other associations Of
malefactors is the wineshop. We can
easily become master of cholera anu
diphtherla, OF typhoid Hver and ma
laria. The grave problem befnue us IL
the prevention of the insidious alcohol
ization of the nation. The degrading
poverty Of the lower classes In certain
sections of the country, our lazzaroni,
the passion for gambling, the terrible
infant mortality-for all this, and
more yet, the special form Of our al
coholism Is mainly responsible"

@. The average Leghorn pullet,
twenty-four weeks old and ready TO
lay. weighed 2.75 pounds.
Z. The feed was by far the most
expensive item In the cost Of rearing
chicks.
s. on the basis of hundred chicks
hatched and n II per cent mortality,
the per cent of pullets was 40.1 and
the per cent of cockerels 42.9 per
cent.
o. The time OF Matching greatly In.
iluences the rate of growth OF the
chicks, the price of broilers, the net
cost of growing, and the weight OF
pullets ut laying age. Early Matching
paid best.
10. Early cockerels were sold Mt q
profit. May-hatched brollers sold at d
loss.
IL. The gross average cost of pull
let was 43.4 cents. This, less profits
In cockerels, made the net cost 3S.l
cents.
IL. Mortality varied and Influenced
the final cost. The average mortality
of 900 chicks was II per cent.
13. For every pullet reared, 1t re
quired the setting Of 4.57 eggs.
ii. Cockerels grow more rapid!
than pullets.
