SOUR MILK FOR LAYING HENS
Most Excellent Substitute for Meat
Scrap and Will Give Good Re-
turns During Winter.

While the production of eggs dur
ing the winter when high prices pre-
vail is the result Of proper breeding,
Matching, rearing and care, proper
feeding will always tend to stimulate
egg production at that season.
One reason why hens lay we'll in
spring and summer is that they are
able to obtain animal protein in the
form of bugs and worms. During
fall and winter, therefore, the poultry
feeder should attempt to initiate
summer feed conditions. The CONNER
cial poultryman supplies animal pro-
tein by feeding meatscraps, but the
farmer often fails to provide this feed.
Skim milk, preferably sour, is a
most excellent substitute for meat
scrap and will give good returns when
fed to laying hens. Numerous expert
ments have shown that laying hens
fed skim milk will double in egg pro-
duction similar hens fed no form of
animal protein.
According to F. D. Crooks of the
Pennsylvania State college school of
agriculture and experiment station,
the exact value of sour milk as a
source of protein, is difficult to state.
Numerous feeding trials, however,
place it's value at so cents to So per
100 pounds.
Skim milk lowers the cost of pro
ducing a dozen eggs. On the farm it
may mean the difference between
profit and loss in connection with the
farm flock. Sour milk has a medicinal
effect also. 1t keeps hens in good
hpalth and helms nrevent disease

To make the dairy business pay the

the advice of Wear Brothers of Illi-

clover hay. Cows must be well housed

YOUR HEALTH
Asthma, No. 2.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

Besides the form Of this disease
which is connected with the air
passages, there is one connected
with disease of the heart, and an.
other with disease of the kidneys
which is not infrequently fatal.
It also occurs frequently during
the period of pregnancy. There is
a great variety of wheeling sounds
in the chest of one who is suffering
from an attack of asthma, and IL
you put your ear to the chest Of
such a person, you could easily
imagine you were listening to the
working Of an ancient bellows or
a dilapidated hand organ, as air
and mucus move up and down in
the bronchial tubes.
And yet the pulse at such time
may be slow, if weak, and the tenn
perature only a little above. or be-
low, normal
asthma is often complicated with
tuberculosis, bronchitis, arterio-
sclerosis, edema of the lungs (that
is, effusion of fluid in the lung It's
sue with dilatation OF the heart);
and with other serious diseases.
1t may come generation after gen.
Grafton in family, and it may be
associated with rheumatism, gout
and neuralgia.
1t may be an accompaniment of
Indigestion and constipation, and
those who are shallow breathers or
who lead sedentary. lives may
have 1t.
1t may be due to the pressure Of
a goitre, to growths in the larynx,
or to enlarged glands in the neck.
frequently it is associated with
polypi in the nose, and is cured
when they are removed.
1t is often due to reflex action
from such skin diseases as hives,
eczema, and psoriasis and from dis
eases of the eyes, ears, nose, diges-
tive and genito-urinary organs.
Dust in connection with various
trades. sand, the pollen of plants,
ammonia, sulphur, and phosphorus
when inhaled. often cause parox.
ysm of sneezing. then a swelling Of
the mucous membrane and then an
attack of asthma.
The object of treatment is to re-
move the cause and prevent other
attacks.

FRIENDS ARE ACTIVE

Mrs. F. A. Elliott, Is Super
intendent Of State Sewing
Department

When Paul ]. Furnas, field secretary

folk found out TOR the first time the
notable accomplishments of this organ.
izatiOn.
Aside from this lecture, little if any
publicity has been given the work,
and even those who heard the story for
themselves went away, for the most
part, with the rather indefinite con-
lvietion that it all related to overseas
relief and reconstruction work, losing
sight of the fact that so tremendous
an undertaking to be Sc successfully
lconducted by a body must represent
the interchangeable effort of the indi-
vidual.
Because this is so, the members Of
the Friends churches in Salem, as well
as those in every congregation. in the
United States have allied themselves
in the effort, and right here in Salem
for months past groups of women have
been working with unabated interest
and enthusiasm in the making of gar
ments for the refugees, and those made
des itute by the war in Europe.

AS has been said of the Quakers
abroad, the local members are not try

do not get themselves talked about
perhaps as much as they might. But
that they have not been idle is shown

women have been working telling OF
the making of one hundred garments,
including quilts, baby layettes, chill
dren's aprons and under garments.
Between the Red Gross and the

it to maintain itself independently,
realizing the high standard that can
be maintained when workers are per
