WHOLE GRAIN FEED
Difficult to Predict for More Than
Few Days What C0mbina-
ton Is Best.
Corn Most important for Poultry and
Cannot Be Left Out Q, Ration
Oats Perhaps Most Econom-
ical Grain Feed.

With grain prices soaring higher
and higher it is rather difficult to
predict for more than few days
ahead what combination of grains is
the most economical, according to
the Connecticut Agricultural college.
In fact there is no economical ration
as all grains and mill feeds are uni
.versally high. If We are to meet the
worldwide demand for increased food
milling into food products for man
should not be used for poultry.
The better grades of good wheat
are of course out Of the question /;
damaged wheat and wheat screenings
can be used in limited way. Dam
aged wheat that is badly burnt or
screenings that are mostly weed seed
should be avoided.
Corn Most important
Corn is probably the most important
poultry feed and cannot well be left
Out of the grain ration even at pre-
yailing prices. When an unusually
large proportion of corn is used the
high carbohydrate content of the corn
may be offset by increasing the beef
scrap. Fortunately beef scrap has not
kept pace with other poultry feeds,
Skim milk may also be used to offset
an increase in the amount of corn
fed.
Oats is perhaps the most economi-
cal grain at present prices and
should constitute q good part of the
ration. When difficulty is experienced
in getting poultry TO eat oats, this may
be overcome by scalding or soaking
until the kernels swell. Scalded oats
may be fed to four or five-weeks-ol6
chicks or growing stock as well as lay
ing hens with good results.
Other Grain Feeds.
Kaffir corn and buckwheat are
quoted higher than corn and cannot
be fed economically. Barley is quoted
very reasonably, but 1t is often difficult
10 obtain. Barley may constitute s
small part of the ration.
Cracked corn and oats, equal part.
by weight, are the most economical
grains to use at the present time I'm
der average conditions.

LOSS OF CHICKEN FEATHERS
Trouble Around Head and Neck 10
Sometimes Caused by Lice-Hens
Pick at Each Other.

The loss of feathers around the head
and neck is sometimes caused by head
lice. There is also fungous disease
called favus which will cause the loss
of feathers around the head.
The most prominent symptom of the
disease is the whitish encrustations
which cause the feathers to become
brittle and break off. Sometimes when
hens are idle they will start picking
at each other and draw blood, this
often starts the habit Of feather pick
ing.

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Aug. 6-(By the Associated
Press)-Hollebeke, a Belgian town
southeast of Ypres, which was the
scene of heavy fighting early yester-
day morning, again was the object of a
German counter attack last night but
the enemy was repulsed by the British
artillery fire before even the wire en-
tanglements in front of the trenches
had been reached.
After the failure of their morning
assault on Hollebeke and on a post
just north of the canal the Teutons
continued to lombard the positions
heavily throughout the day, leaving
little doubt that they intended to
have another try to retake this section
of the newly acquired British lines.
When the German infantry finally
left their trenches and moved forward
they were met by an intense artillery
fire and a withering storms of bullets
from machine guns and rifles. They
continued to push forward but before
the wire defenses were reached they
broke and retreated hastily. 49,
The part success of the Germans in
the morning attack when they gained
a footing in HollebeKe, was due en-
tire1y to heavy fog which prevented
the British gunners. from seeing the

lines gave indicating the German adj
