to do what was necessary with suit
able despatch. And now she isn't
late at all.
This was quite an achievement, and
Mrs. King made no effort to conceal
her pride. But she did not tell US at
whose cost her daughter had learned
to dress herself; nor did she develop
any principle that might be of general
use to large numbers of mothers.
In the first place, the frequent tar
dlness of this child in school is a
serious burden to the school. The
alternative. of helping the child at
I home with reminders, or even with
direct assistance in the tedious process
of diSpOsing of the clothes properly
about the body, is no doubt serious
burden upon the home. Aud there is
no doubt that by placing the whole
burden upon the child and the school
/ the mother was able to show a gaod
record for improvement in Maude's
! habits. But it is worth while to con-
slider whether it is fair to make the
school bear the burden that Mrs. King
| imposed upon it.
In the second place. the device used
cannot be of general applicability, for

would make it impossible for the
school to establish and maintain any
standards, and the homes would be
without the moral support they now
get from the school in the effort to
accelerate the children's habits OF
regularity and punctuality.
This suggests that Mrs. Kings reli-

day and keep their appetite keen and
yet give them all the feed they would
use. Feeding a small amount of the
scratch feed in the morning encour-
aged the hens to eat more of the mash.
An attempt was made to get them to
consume about half as much of the
mash as they did of the grain or
scratch feed.
Cost of Feed
The prices paid for feed will of
course vary from county to county and
state TO state and from year to year,
but tnese prices quoted by local mill
are probably fairly representative for
that season. Even II they should de a
little too high or a little too low to shbw'
the probable cost in the readers local
ity they will enable him to compare the
cost of egg production on no meat,
beef scrap, and sour-milk ration.
The 25 hens in the no-meat pen laid
1873 eggs or an average Of So per hen
for the year. The beef-fed hens laid
an average Of 107 eggs apiece or almost
twice as many as the no-meat hens and
sour-Inilk hens beat them both with an
average of 131 eggs apiece or almost
two and half as many as the no.
meat hens. There is no question but
that the meat scrap and sour milk is
responsible for the great increase in
the number of eggs laid.
Profits.
The probable effect upon the pocket
book, of course, decides what ration a
poultryman will choose, and a glance
at the results of the above experiments
show that the fowls fed no meat, mflI
or other animal food laid only 1,3I5
eggs in return for the $3.50 worth of
feed they ate, or that at 20 cents
dozen they returned eggs worth 5000.
In other words the poultryman gave
his work for nothing and paid 81 more
for the feed than the eggs returned
him in cash. The beef scrap fed hens
on the other hand brought profit of
Stats because although the feed they
.-re cost $1.7S more than if they had
received no meat scraps they laid near
| ~ twice as maS1y eggs and so paid
many times for the beef scraps they
ate.
The biggest profit of all, however,
resulted from feeding sour milk, in
spite of the fact that it was charged at
20 cents a hundred pounds. This is
perhaps more than it would be worth
on the average farm where it would
probably otherwise be fed to the hogs.
Even at this price there was a profit
of more than 100 per cent from the
hens fed sour milk. The cost was
$26.32, but the eggs laid We're worth
$2S.26 more than those laid by the
same number of hens which received
no animal food and laid less than half
as many eggs.

spread of catarrh. Chicks just Matched

The losses sustained by the Germans
in their defeat before Cambria are not
large, even according TO the estimates of
the British, the number of casualties be-
ing placed by the latter at only 10000,
which is relatively small for such vast
undertaking and for such an extensive
capture of terrain. 1t is said that the
British in the one coup recovered 100
square miles of French territory In
view of that fact it might have been ex.
pected in normal procedure of battle that
the defeated forces would lose as high as
100000 men. In the Cambria battle the
minimizing Of the German losses was un-
doubtedly due 10 the fact that the Ger
man lines were not pounded for days by
British artillery and also TO the fact that
the Germans did not put up valiant
stand in the early hours Of the battle
but took themselves to the rear Just
about as fast ss their legs could carry
them. On the other hand, the British
losses were very slight. making the bat
tie one Of the strsngest in modern war
fare
