The scratch mixture was fed spar
ingly so that the hens ate about
equal parts of this mixture ana OF
the dry mash. The total grain con-
sumption of feed for the year was
SO pounds, OF which 26 pounds was
scratch mixture. Throughout the
year it took 4.6 pounds of feed to
produce a dozen eggs.
If the wheat is omitted from the
ration it is very essential to feed a
considerable proportion Of beef scrap
or fish scrap in the mash. While these
feeds may seem high in price, con-
sidering their high protein content
and their value in egg production,
they are cheap poultry feeds. In 9TH
er experiments conducted by the
Poultry Division it was found that
for the first four months puliets fed
a ration containing beef scrap pro-
duced an average of Ais eggs, while
those fed the same ration, with the
exception that the beef scrap was
omitted, produced only 1877 eggs.
These experiments, the poultry
specialists say, prove that wheat is
not essential in an egg-laying ration
and that excellent results can be Sc
cured by using corn and oats as a
scratch mixture, provided this is fed
with a good mash containing 25 per
cent of beef or fish scrap.
While the birds should have plen-
ty to eat, they should always be ca
ger for each meal. II one-third of
the scratch grain furnished them is
fed in the morning and two-thirds
at night, the birds will take more
exercise than il they receive all the
grain they desire in the morning.
Good scratch mixtures may be made
of equal parts by weight Of cracked
corn, wheat, and oats, or of two
parts of cracked corn and one part
each of wheat and oats.

The disruption of schedules in all
sections on account of the school va

that will give Lynden some except

SEEKS TO DOUBLE SIZE
OF COW ASSOCIATION
County Agent Carroll Wants To in-
crease New Testing Org anizatipn
To 1,2OO Animals

Not content with the successful
formation of a six hundred head COW.
testing association. County Agent II
B. Carroll, jr.. started out this week
to double the size of the organizat
ion. An extra testing expert would
be added if Mr.. Carroll's efforts are
successful.
That he is going to win out is in
dieated by the number of cows al
ready enrolled. Up to Tuesday. he
had signed up sos in the assoeiat,
ion, leaving only two-thirds of re
the last six hundred to come in. The
tester for the first six hundred is al
ready at work.
Those who have already enrolled
in the second section of the new as
sociation include the following:
Henry Shagren. Paul Helgath, b
c. Crabtree, DR.. B. V. Mounter, Wal
ter Crabtree, L. A. Williamson. c.
Swenson, Mike and Gerrit Wander
Griend.
Through an error, the name oil
John Bierlink was omitted from the
list of the members of the first sect
ion of the association.
Those who wish to enroll in the
new association are asked to leave
their names at The Tribune office,
and Mr.. Carroll will get in touch with
them directly.

HUNS OUT OF FOOD AT
END, SAYS LOCAL BOY
Will NoteboOm Says German Soldiers
Were Short On Meals And Clothes
When Armistice Came

Will Noteboom is tramring over
Belgium these days. In a letter re-
ceived here this week, he says that
his regiment has been or the move
continually. and has never stopped
except in two places for period OF
eight days.
Since the first of September. we
have either been on the front or on
the march all the, time" he writes.
81 can understand the Belgians
very well so have been interpreting
for the cooks and sure have lots of
fun with them. Have seen some real
nice looking Belgium girls, but most
of them look rather hard. Wooden
shoes seem to be very popular both
in France and Belgium. Certainly
have seen some pretty horses and
cows in both France and Belgium,
but Belgium seems to have the best.
1.-THE Germans in many cases have
stolen both cows and horses, as well
as grain, as they retreased, so nat
urally the Belgians think we are
just abou. it, Many of the natives
have told me that if it hadn't been
for the Americans that all the Bel
gians would have starved a long
time ago.
"The German soldiers, so the Bel
gians tells US, had but very little left
to eat, and practically no clothes to
wear"

Poultry owners who wish to OBJ
tain satisfactory production of eggs
during the winter should plan to give
their birds plenty of feed. Just what
kind of feed that can be supplied
most economically and which will
keep the birds in healtAful condi-
ton is one of the poultry keepers
principal problems. The Poultry Di-
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has for some
years been conducting tests on sub
stitute feeds with laying hens. The
poultry specialists have found, for
example, that by feeding a wheatless
ration there is a considerable saw
ing in the cost of feed and the hens
will produce as many eggs as when
wheat is included.
Thirty Leghorn pullets to which
this wheatless ration was fed for u
years produced an average of 1913
eggs a hen for the pullet year. This
compares favorably with egg yields
secured with other rations contain
ing wheat and, therefore, more ex-
pensive. During the Is weeks OF the
second year the hens which were fed
the wheatless ration averaged 2S.5
