Worn Out Flags

What should be done with an American flag
old, out, soiled tattered that is no longer
serviceable as the national emblemY Should it be
destroyed without dissertation?
There appears to be no law to point the way.
But there is practice. And the best practice seems
to point but way Burn the unserviceable flag
Perhaps make rite and ceremony of this destruc-
ton by fire.
Total destruction seems the proper measure, and

prepared by the United States Depart

In order to save feed-to see that
none of 1t Is Observation-Disclosures and
live stock men should study the needs
of their animals and see that only the
required feed is given in a balanced
ration. This is particularly impor-
tant at the present time, since an in
crease in feed and more live stock
are needed to supply the needs of this
nation and the allies.
To reduce the problems involved in
the selection of feeds on the basis of
their nutritive value-which are meas
ured in terms of protein, carbohydrate,
and fat contents-in order to make
them apply to everyday feeding, has
not been simple. In a bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture tables are
given which make the balancing OF
rations a simple matter of multiplica-
ton and division. 1t is explained that
protein, carbohydrate, and fat con-
tents of a feedstuff are not the only
factors affecting its feed value. Pro-
teins differ In their. nutritive quail
ties, while some substances no In
cluded in the classes mentioned are
necessary to the proper maintenance
of the bodily functions. The palata-
bility and succulence of a feed has
much to do with its value as a feed.
Many feedstuffs have physiological eff
fects entirely apart from their nutri-
tive qualities. A ration may be per-
fectly balanced from the standpoint of
relative content Of protein and en-
ergy producers, and yet be quite I'M
practicable, the specialists point out,
because it is. too bulky or too con-
centrated. Consideration of a feed
stuff or a ration based only on chem
ical composition, therefore, is to be
taken merely as a guide, 1t is ex-
planned, to be followed in the light OF
all the knowledge obtainable about AMI
NAL nutrition.
The selling price Of a feed is not q
reliable guide to its relative feeding
value. The carbohydrate feeds-corn,
oats, barley, kafir, and various Others
and the protein feeds-cottonseed
meal, tankage, and brewers grains
are found on the market at various
prices. The feeder desires to know
with certain given prices, which Is
the cheapest feed to buy-the true
value Of a bushel of oats, rye, or bar
ley for feed when corn is worth 81
cents a bushel. He wishes to know
the valr of a ton of brewers grains
linseed meal, or bran when %cottonseet
meal is worth $50 a ton and corn S.
a bushel. By the use Of the table,
presented in the bulletin, which shov

values, these questions can be an
swered.

portance should be attached to a judg-
ment based on the appearance of the
comb alone.
The best way to deal with such hens
is to feed them heavily to fit for mar
ket. Many of them will begin to lay
when they regain flesh and lay well
for a few weeks or months. They
should be kept as long as they lay,
feeding well all the time; but sold
or killed as soon as they stop laying
again. They are not the kind to keep
over.
A hen that is very fat at this season
is a poor layer without question. One
that is very thin and poor now may
have laid well through the winter and
spring, but unless the poultry keeper
Is conscious that shortage of feed is
to blame for her poor condition, 1t is
safe to conclude that her best laying
days are over.
Judging Layers by Pelvic Bones.
The width between the pelvic bones
when considered in connection with
other points of structure and condition
lis q fairly reliable index of marked
differences in the laying capacity of
fowls. Good width in this region is
generally associated with sufficient
breadth and depth Of body to give
the double wedge shape" which is
often called "the laying type"
To be a good layer a hen must have
body capacity for vigorous vital and
digestive organs and also for a con
siderable number of eggs in process OF
formation. A little careful observation
will enable one to judge marked diff
%ferences in laying capacity, as these
affect or are affected by structure OF
the body quite as well by the form Of
the bird as apparent to the eye as b!
actual measurement of the width Of
| the pelvis. The latter, however, is o.
greater service in determining whether
n hen is laying at the time of han
| ding for in the same hen the width 1!
| greater when she is laying than wher
she is not. This is a natural differ
ence, the body being more distendet
when carrying eggs and the bones O
the pelvis separating more when a her

sage when the eggs are extruded.

GULL OWI PULLETS

A flock of growing pullets
nearly always contains a consid-
cradle proportion of birds very
much under size or in other
ways poorly developed. Most
poultry keepers are inclined to
keep these until the flock is
culled at maturity. 1t is much
better to Gull them out as soon
as they are marked as conspicu-
ously backward.
In war time, with feed scarce,
press of other more important
work is the only excuse for let
ting them remain. They will
never make a profit, and the
sooner they r eaten the less
will be the loss. Even where
foraging is good 1t does not pay
to keep them. 1t is much better
to let the good pullets have all
the feed.
