BISMARCK IS
SOME BIGGER

Gain of Few Hundred Shown in
Spite of Drain of War and
\lt Industries ."... q.

In spite of the war and the drain
ing Of scores of families by the call
of the shipyards and other war indus,
tries. Bismarck's population shows a
slight increase over 1915. according
to George A. Keiter who has just COM
piled his 1918 directory for the cap
ital city, Bismarck in 1915 had 1925
epople by actual count, and today it
has 1892, a gain of trifle more than
400. An effort has been made to list
soldier citizens whose permanent
home Is in Bismarck. but it has been
impossible to account for all of these,
and families who have probably left
the city only temporarily for Seattle
and other points where the govern
ment has assembled war workers are
not included in Eismarcks present
population. T. IT, g.:
The small villages of Burleigh coun.
ty outside of Bismarck show an ag-
gregate gain of $50 people for the
two years. Proportionately these
smaller places have lost more in popu-
lation through the war than has the
county seat and capital city.

The Bismarck committee OF the
Fatherless Children Of France, of
which Mrs. n. o. Ralnstad is chair
man and Mrs r. Worth Lunry secre-
tary, is asking the Capital City to
adopt 400 fatherless French children
and to supply the funds which will
assure q mothers care for these tots
In their own homes. The amount re-
quired for each child is ten cents per
day or $3.50 per annum, and, while
the campaign has been conducted
along conservative lines, Bismarck al.
ready has adopted almost 100 French
ktddies, subscribing for their care
more than $500.

CHEAPER POULTRY
RATIONS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The demand for wheat for human
consumption necessitateS that ii be
used rs economically and sparingly
as possible for feeding animals and
chickens. Some "just as goOd' ra
tons which contain no wheat have
been tried out in egg laying tests by
the United States department of az
riculture, and excellent results have
been secured, Thirty laying hens, to
which wheatleSS ratlOnS We're fed,
produced in the two years covered
by the test on an average of 1919
eggs for the pullet year, and 121 eggs
during the second year. This com.
pares favorably with egg yields Sc.
cured on other rationS containing
wheat, and therefore more expensive,
The whcatless ration is also beina
tried on pen of Buff Orpington pull
lets and during the past ten months
they have laid on an average of ILL.,
eggs, very good yield for this Pc
rod.
The wheatlcss ration used was as
follows:
Scratch mixture Two pounds OF
cracked corn, one pound of oats.
Dry Mash-Three pounds of corn
meal, one pound Of beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed spar
ingly, the hens being permitted to eaI
about as much of it as of the dry
mash. Dufing the tWo-year test the
hens were provided with free range
where they could pick Il variety OF
green feed. Lcghorn pullets were
used and it was found that 1t took
4.6 pounds of feed to produce dozen
eggs. Fifty-two pounds Of grain was
consumed by each pullet annually
and of this amount tWentysiX pounds
was from the scratch mixture. When
wheat is omitted from the ration it is
advisable to feed more beef scrap.
Laying hens should have good sup
ply of protein, and the additional beef
scrap supplies this essential in one of
the cheapest forms.
Cotton seed meal used to replace
half the beef scrap In the mash has
given good results on the government
poultry farm and has had no bad eff
feet on the quality of the eggs. Where
cotton seed meal replaced all the beef
scrap the results were unsatisfactory
both in number and quality of eggs.
Mussel meal has not proven as good
a substitute for beef scrap as fish
meal, which. to the amount of 20 per
cent of the mash, has affected the
flavor or the taste of the eggs.
