POULTRY ON THE FARM
by ]. E. Daugherty)

The best place to raise more poul
try and eggs at least cost is on tn,
farm, where the feed to large eX
tent is raised. Poultry will pick W
from the fields and around the barns {
large amount OF feed that would ath.
erwise be wasted and will turn this
teed into eggs and poultry meat.
How many fowls a farmer should
keep will be governed by the size of
his farm and the percentage of the
total ration that the farm can supply,
as well as his personal attitude toward
chickens. A laying fowl will consume
approximately rs pounds of grain and
mash per year, nearly all of which
can be grown on the farm, as is clearly
shown in the following simple, yet
well balanced laying ration designed
to meet the present war conditions.
Grain Mixture -.
Is pounds whole barley. x
10 pounds whole milo. ~
Dry Mash Mixture
) pounds ground barley.
pounds wheat bran.
pounds wheat shorts.
, pounds say bean or linseed meal.
5 pounds met scrap or fish scrap.
1-2 pound granulated charcoal.
1-10 pound Gifted dairy salt.

Feterita, Egyptian corn, Indian corn,
etc, may be substituter for all or part
of the milo in the grain formula and
plump oats for the barley. Where
sour skim milk or buttermilk can be
kept before the fowls in drinking YES
sells so that they consume from 80
20 40 pounds Of milk to 100 fowls
per day, Investigations conducted at
the California Experiment Station in
dicate that no meatscrap, fishscrap or
soy bean meal, linseed menl, etc,
need be fed in the mash, as the milk
will take the place OF other high pro-
tein feeds. Milk is one of the very
best animal feeds that can be fed to
poultry and both the small and large
aairyman consider the use of poultry
as one of the most profitable means
Of utilizing such dairy byproducts as
skim milk, buttermilk, whey, etc.
A flock of farm fowls should be
able to pick up portion of their feed
in the fields and corrals so that the
farmer should not have to furnich
that portion of the total feed requar-
ed, which the fowls could not secure
for themselves on the range. If a ra-
tion proportioned similarly to the one
given above were used, in which 3-5
pound of grain is fed, with 2-5 pound
mash to supply the fowls with bal
anced egg-making diet, and if the
farm grew all the barley and milo
needed, then all the grain plus 5-29
of the mash, or a total of 1920 or
7-10 of the feed consumed consumed
by the fowls could be grown on the
farm. If wheat were raised and the
shrunken wheat, wheat screening and
wheat otherwise unsuitable for mil
ling purposes were substituted for
he wheat bran and shorts in the mash

Death Losses in the War,

Reports from the American army
In France are that the men are bear
Ing up eXcellently under their 11rss
experiences in the trenches. All are
learning how to conduct themselves
under tire, and that shell fire,
even when intense, is not SO danger
Gus as it Sounds
ass In contrast with this are reports,
+ or rather rumors, of doubtful or
. enemy origin, that purport to give
I mortality rates in the trenches. Bald
statements are current that ten mil
I lion men have been Killed thus far
in int the ;a war which a! gives an exagger-
ed on the side OF pessimism
cause the proportion is left out of
account. The assertion about ten
million dead soldiers has given rise
to all sorts OF grotesque rumors,
some OF them innocent perhaps, 9TH
appear that the life of soldier at
the front is only matter OF days or
weeks. OF course such grisly reports
are far from the real facts. The
commander of an American battalion
IN dispatch published Tuesday,
said that since his men had entered
the trenches mumps had sent more
my's fire. This points the defect in
the so-called mortality record.
Positive figures as to war losses
are given by Secretary Baker in a
letter to Senator Salisbury Of Della
ware. The senator wrote Mr.. Baker
and asked him, if possible, to give
out the percentage of deaths among
the allied armies, particularly the
British. in order that disquieting
rumors might be silenced Secretary
,Raker replied as follows:
Up to about June l, the, losses OF
the British expedltionary forces, in
deaths in action and deaths from
total of all the men sent to France
since the beginning of the war. 1t
may be added that the ratio of losses
Of this character today, because of
improved tactics and the swiftly
mounting allied superiority in artil-
lery, is less than 7 to every 100
men,
This answer makes two encourag-
ing statements. One is that the per-
centage of losses~by death is really
below the percentage of losses in the
mass of the civil populations in
peace, and the other, that proper
preparation, ornaments and discip-
line greatly reduce casualties. AS
will 60 into the war better prepared
probably than either the French Or
the British at the beginning, and it
is reasonable to expect that their
death losses will not be excessive as
compared with those of the other
armies. Secretary Baker in his let
ter to Senator Salisbury said that
he had previously ignored the rum
ors of excessive death lists because
the American people are not chill
dren to be frightened out of the path
of duty we have chosen merely for
the reason that the duty is grim"
War is a horror and this one is
the horror or horrors, and while the
percentages may not be as high as
supposed, the number Of dead will
be great We must prepare our
selves for a great sacrifice, but it is
foolish and idle and playing into the
hands of Germany to allow ourselves
to be made nervous by exaggerated
statements with regard to losses.

NORTHCLlFFE'S PLEA

Means of Transportation.

Chicago, Oct a4--Lord Northcliffe,
head of England's special mission to
this country, was the guest of honor
at a banquet of the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce held at a hotel to-
night. The menu was wheatless in
conformity with the request of the
national food administration. In ad-
dition it was liauorless. At it's close
the distinguished Briton received a
welcome lasting several minutes when
he arose to speak.
He emphasized the point that Amer
lea, to make her army force in the
war. must first see to it that the
necessary ships are provided to trans
port her soldiers to the battle front,
which at present she has not done.
In explaining why American flour can
be purchased in England at a cheaper
price than in the United States he
declared that the mother country was
subsidizing many of the essential ar
ticles of food. taking the money out
of the hands of the rich to put food
in the mouths of the poor.
