 Let me save you from the scrap heap!
 Doctor, L am not sick, but I don't feel right" That is what many say to me when they come to see me the first time. And that just expresses it. You are not sick enough to go to bed. You can eat, you can sleep, you can work.
 But you don't work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep is not restful, and you don't enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get the best of you. Things bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see diff faculties where there really are none Trif1es worry you, and not having enough troubles of your own, you borrow some.
 Of course, to casual observer, you seem the same, because you are try ing to control yourself. And if you should tell a friend, or go to an in experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your self. You sometimes think they are right and try to brace up and De bright and cheerful. But then your old feeling will come back with re- newed vigor. You begin to wonder if it really is your mind only. And il 1t is so, is it the first step to insan- ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor turing you; you are trying your best to fight them down, to appear happy. but in vain. You find yourself in the grip of an invisible power tat seems to sap your life blood.
 And when you feel your strength energy and power slipping away from you, when you find you can't do jas tice to your work any longer, then you become Respondent and might even feel tempted to end it all.
 You are very much in the same condition as a delicately constructed engine, which has not been cared for right. Put 1t in the hands of an ex- perienced man and he will soon have 1t in fine working order. But trying your own hand at it, or turn it over to an unskilled person, and 1t will soon be fit for the scrap heap.

in the hand, not what can be scOOped
up in the open hand By scattering
it in the litter the hens will be COM
PEELED to scratch in order to find the
grain, and in this way they get exer-
else which is decidedly beneficial to
them If the house is too small to
feed in, the grain can be scattered on
the ground outside. A good grain
mixture for this purpose is composed
of equal parts by weight of feeding
wheat, cracked corn and oats. An
other suitable grain mixture would be
two parts by weight of cracked corn
and one part oats.
In addition to the grain and the
table scraps it is well to feed dry
mash This dry mash is composed of
various ground grains and is placed
in a mash hopper or box from which
the Hens can help themselves The
advantage of feeling such a mash is
that the hens always have access to
feed and this tends to make up for
any faulty or inexperienced feeding.
Hens do not like dry mash SO well
that they are likely to overeat. A good
dry mash may be made of equal parts
by weight of corn meal, wheat bran,
wheat middlings and beef scrap. Fish
scrap when available may replace the
beef scrap or cottonseed meal may be
made to replace one-half of the beef
scrap in the mash.
The hens should have access at all
times to a supply of grit or stones
of size small enough to be swallow
ed readily. A supply of ordinary
gravel will answer the purpose OF
grit very we'll. Crushed oyster or
clam shells also should be given to
the hens and be kept before them at
all times. A plentiful supply OF clean,
fresh water must always be available
for the hens. They drink freely, es-
pecially when laying heavily, and
should not be stinted in this necessity.

turnip tops, carrot tops, potato peel

rinds, the outside leaves of cabbage,
waste lettuce leaves, bread and cake
crumbs and so on, all of which are
relished by the hens. Decomposed
waste material or moldy bread or

SlOp material such as dishwater should
not be thrown in with the other waste
for the flock. 1t is also useless to

oYu can't maintain a backyard

these days of patriotic conservation
but you can make waste material go
long way in the hen yard. With
egg prices at high tide it will not pay
to skimp in feeding the layers, but
using all the kitchen garbage and left
overs available will help reduce the
amount of grain needed

method is to feed the table scraps
at noon or night, or at both times, as
may be desired, in a trough or on a

With the table scraps it is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may
best be given as a light feed in the
morning. Four or five handfuls of
grain-about one-half pint scattered
