THANKS LINDEN FOR AID TO
BELGIAN ORPHANS IN FRANCE

Rev. Paul Ashby this week re-
ceived an acknowledgement of the
fund sent to France by Lynden DON
ors for the relief of Belgian war
orphans in France.
The acknowledgement comes from
Ernest w. Bysshe, Superintendent of
the Foyer Retrouve," a home for
the orphans at Grenoble, who writes
as follows:
II have duly received the gen.
erous contribution of $4,000 made by
the friends of Lynden, and which you
sent to be forwarded to me. | am
sending you this word of personal
thanks on behalf of our little
orphans.
would it be too much to ask you
to double your offering for the first
of July? If you are inclined to think
us too importunate, remember that
our children eat three times every
day, they wear out shoes and cloth
ing as rapidly as our own American,
and prices are double what they were
even in 1914. / am writing to all
our friends to ask them to promise
us a semi-annual contribution, the
first to be due July first.
"The work is very interesting, the
children are so eager for affection
that it is a joy for all of us who have
to do with them; they are doing very
well and we hope to make them all
strong and efficient men and women"

WHEAT NOT NEEDED
FOR BIG EGG YIELD
Government Experiments Show Fine
Success i'm Tests With FlOcks on
Cheaper RatiOns
kE
q -

With wheat so high, Lynden poul-
trymen will be interested to learn
that on the United States Department
of Agriculture experiment farm ex-
cellent egg-laying results were Sc
cured with wheatless ration. Thirty
LeghOrn pullets to which this ration
has been fed for one and one-half
years produced an average of 147.3
eggs per hen for the pullet year. This
compares favorably with egg yields
secured on other rations containing
wheat and therefore more expensive.
This pen, moreover, during the first
sixteen weeks of its second year has
averaged 28.5 eggs per hen, 17.5
eggs per hen being produced in
March.
The same wheatless ration has
been fed since last November to a
pen of Buff Orpington pullets, which
have laid fifty-three eggs per hen
in twenty weeks and hold the highest
egg record of any of the large feed
ing pens of pullets at the farm this
year Two other pens, however, are
less than one egg per hen behind
this pen. The ration used was as
follows:
Scratch Mixture-two pounds crack
ed corn. One pound oats.
Dry Mash-three pounds corn meal
One pound beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed spar
ingly, so that the hens ate about
equal parts of this mixture and of
the dry mash. The total grain con-
sumption of feed for the year was
fifty-two pounds, of which twenty-six
pounds was scratch mixture.
Throughout the year it took 4.6
pounds of feed to produce a dozen
eggs.
This scratch mixture, wheat 50. ST
cracked corn $135, and oats 70 cents
per bushel, is 40 cents per hundred
pounds cheaper than the regular mix
ture of parts cracked corn, wheat and
oats. Another mash which is slight
ly cheaper than this one is made of
four per cent each bran and mid
dlings, twenty six per cent beef scrap,
and sixty-six per cent corn meal.
If the wheat is omitted from the
ration. it is very essential to feed a
considerable proportion of beef scrap
( in the mash, but with present prices
of beef scrap is one of the cheapest
poultry feeds, considering its high
protein content.
These experiments. the specialists
say, prove that wheat is not essential
in an egg laying ration and that ex-
cellent results can be secured by us
ing corn and oats as a scratch mix
ture, if this is fed with good mash
containing twenty-five per cent beef
scrap.
