OYSTER SHELLS NEEDED
Bf TIE LAYING HEN
Experiments Show That Hens Draw
Lime From Body Skeleton If They
Are Not Constantly in Front Of
Them In Clean Receptacle.

That oyster shell is needed by hens,
especially by laying hens, and that II
should be kept constantly before the
lock Is clearly shown in the following
excerpt from circular 81 of the West
Virginia experiment station, entitled
Feeding for Egg Production" by Pro
fessor Horace Atwood:
"a relatively large amount Of lime
is required in the formation Of egg
shells Wheeler found that crushed
oyster shell when fed to laying hens
was the principal source of the lime
present in the shells, and he advised
feeding oyster shell, especially during
the laying season. That his conclu-
sions were correct is indicated by the
almost universal use of oyster she'll
for this purpose One pound of oyster
shell will furnish lime for about seven
dozen eggs.
"Tn a recent investigation Halpin
finds that contrary to popular belief,
O lack of calcium or lime in the feed
has not caused the production Of soft
shelled eggs, the hen apparently draw
ing on her skeleton for the needed cal
cium Soft shelled eggs, therefore,
appear to be due to some pathological
condition rather than to a lack Of cal
cium in the feed A scant supply of
calcium seems to decrease egg produc-
ton. This result is important from the
practical standpoint, since many poul-
try raisers, believing that soft shelled
eggs indicate lack Of calcium, do not
feed oyster shells unless their hens
lay soft shelled eggs. 1t Is thus pos
sible that lack of egg production dur
ing late winter months may be due to
a lack of sufficient calcium.
"Since oyster shell is relatively cheap
and since fowls need lime from this or
a similar source, at least when they
are laying, it is good practice to keep
a supply constantly available"

Sour Soils Should Be LINED ror 1ooo
Results-Good TiIth Is Invaluable.
Last year the produce from small
gardens, including the backyard gar
den, the school garden and the mu-
nicipal and industrial gardens, amount
ed to $3,5O0,000. There were In the
neighborhood of 100000 gardens, an
increase of 200 to 800 per cent more
gardens than ever produced food in
the United States In one season, &C
cording to the annual report OF the
secretary of agriculture.
1t has been estimated by the de-
partment of agriculture that there Will
be a similar increase in 1918 approx
mating 100000 gardens. Those who
have not had experience in gardens
should make a study of the soil re-
uuirements of the crops they intend
to grow. Most soils are acid and need
lime to correct acidity. In like man.
ner most garden crops thrive best in
neutral or sweet soils, as the following
list prepared by DR.. Charles E. ThOrne,
director of the Ohio experiment sta
ton and one Of our foremost Ameri-
can authorities on questions relating
to soil fertility and crop production,
shows: Plants pfeferring acid or
slightly acid soils, huckleberry, cram
berry, raspberry and strawberry;
plants preferring alkaline soils, bean,
beets, cabbage, Cauliiower, canteloupe,
celery, pea and turnip; plants prefer
ring neutral soils, blackberry, corn,
cowpea, currant, eggplant, gooseberry,
grape, lettuce onion. parsnip, pepper,
peanut, potato, pumpkin, ounce, rad
ish, rhubarb, spinach, squash, tobacco,
tomato and watermelon.
Take thought of the spring GARDEN
now. Notwithstanding the large pro-
duction of vegetables this year and
the great volume put into cans and
jars for winter use there Is nothing
to indicate that theT> will not De equal
need for production in 1918

CORN WILL WIN
DEM0CRACYS WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAlNSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,OOOOOO,OOO bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture Is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is aSSoci-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
graduated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and Cor
every other purpose filled by salad OILS.
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ of
the corn.

SPEED UP SHIPS.

: Chairman Hurley, of the Ship
ping Board, has given out the
the official intimation that a cur
tailment of seaboard industry
may be imminent. In closing
many of the industries that en-
ploy skilled labor, it was explain
ed, the Government would be u.s.
ing it's only alternative to obtain
men. Chairman Hurley gives a
further hint of the serious stu.
alton just ahead in this appeal
for men:
Upon the thoroughness OF
yonr convass for men skilled in
trades useful in shipbuilding, and
men who are willing to enroll as
shipyard volunteers will depend
In a large measure the success OF
the whole military and industrial
program of our country for the
coming year. -
The shipbuilding program con-
templates the construction of 9
million tons annually, but owing
to the want of necessary skilled
men, that amount of tonnage
cannot possibly be turned out.
There is a call for men who
will volunteer for shipyard work.
This county's quota is lao, ano
we are glad to report that some
have already expressed willing
ness to serve.
