American Bank Trade Letter Says

Some industries have developed
unusual spurts of activity in the past

April and $1,000. 100000 over May of
last year. May clearings were the
largest recorded so far this year, and
were only little less than the record

business failures in May and the gross

After dealing with conditions in

with the statement that the retail

For the accommodation of those
persons who had placed their orders
the latter part of last week, the ex-
press companies are still delivering
shipments of liquor which passed the
boundary lines of Virginia before the
stroke of midnight Saturday. From
that hour on the Federal law prohib-
its the shipment of whisky into dry
territory except for medicinal. sacra-
mental, mechanical and scientific pur-
poses. There is still some question.
however, rs to what proof will be
necessary to determine whether or not
the liquor is intended for "medicinal''
purposes.
In this connection the express COM
panies have been provided with new
blank, which must be signed and
sworn TO by the consignccs, stating to
what use the shipment is to be put.

RIGHT FEED FOR EGGS
Methods Employed at Nebraska
University Farm.
Grain Thrown into Deep Litter in
Morning to Keep Fowls Busy
Scratching - Electric Lights
Found to Be Useful.

The following methods and feeds are
used at the Nebraska university farm
at Lincoln in connection with the poul-
try department:
During the winter months the birds
receive as their first feed in the morn
ing scratch feed, such as follows !:
Two pounds of cracked corn, two
! pounds of kafir two pounds of wheat,
two pounds of oats, one pound of bar
ley. This is thrown into deep litter
and in such amounts as will keep the
birds hungry and working for food
throughout the morning.
About ten o'clock a feed of sprouted
oats is given. Cabbage, mangels and
green alfalfa are sometimes used in
addition to this green feed, in small
quantities, to offer variety.
At noon a very light feed of wet
mash is given. 1t is made from the
following mixture and mixed with
skim milk: Two pounds of cornmeal
feed, two pounds of bran, two pounds
of white middlings, two pounds of
ground oats, two pounds of meat
scrap, two pounds of corn gluten feed.
This is fed in troughs of sufficient
length so that each bird has enough
room.
About four o'clock in the afternoon
liberal feeding of. grain is given.
Special attention is paid to giving the
birds all they want for the night feed
The poultry-house is equipped with
electric lights, which are turned on
at five o'clock in the morning and
again at four o'clock in the afternoon,
and the birds thereby have a longer
day in which to work. 1t has been
found paying investment to have
lights in the house for the early morn
ing and night feeds.
A dry mash, composed of the same
ingredients and proportions as above
mentioned for wet mash, is placed be-
fore the birds for free access. Grit,
oyster shell and charcoal are also
available in a hopper.
