POULTRY RELISH SOUR MILK

II Is Valuable Article in Ration
of Chickens

Sour milk should not be left out of
the feed of growing or laying fowls,
winter or summer. il it can be secured
at any reasonable cost. 1t is usually
much cheaper and easier to get on the
farm than beef scrap or any other sub
stitute and no common substitute ex-
cept buttermiIk will give as good re
suits.
Sour milk for egg-production was
given a very careful test for year
recently when three 25-bird pens of
White Leghorn pullets were fed in al
most exactly the same way except that
one pen received sour milk, another
beef scrap. and the third no meat or
animal food whatever. From the sour
milk pen the station got 3.275 eggs at
profit OF S2S.26; from the beef scrap
pen, 2.GGS at n profit of SLOTS; and
from the no-meat pen. 1878 eggs at a
loss of 81 on the pen for the year
On many farms the no-meat pen
would not have been regarded as los
ing money because the chickens live
mainly on waste grain about the barn
lot but on these farms the profits
would be so much greater If butter.

large possible profit is being lost If the

The Life of Our Saviour, is the
title of the seven-reel Lasalle pic
ture today. This religious subject is
treated with dignity and evident
sincerity on the part of the produc-
ers to reproduce Biblical history
accurately. Beginning with the
earlier scenes in the life of Christ
and recording the principal events
of his journey on earth, the nara
tive is one that Will appeal TO all
who are seriously inclined. The pic
ture is shown on Friday. following
the policy of the Lasalle TO present
only such subjects as are particular
ly suited to children. The Pathe
color feature of the film brings out
the picturesque scenes in Palestine
and adds to the artistic merits of the
production.

title of the Lasalle picture for Sat
