ECONOMICAL FEED FOR HENS
Soak Oats Until They Begin to Swell
II Fowls Do Not Take Kindly to
Them-Feed Dry Mash.

If the hens do not take kindly to
oats, soak them until they begin to
swell. Buy clipped oats If you must
purchase them. Sca1ded oats may be
fed to chicks four or five weeks old,
with as good results as to hens.
Dry mash, being made Of mill feeds
or by-products, has not advanced as
much as whole grains. Beef scrap has
shown the least change.
An economical and satisfactory dry
mash for growing stock and laying
hens is composed Of 100 pounds each
Of wheat bran, -four or standard mid.
dlings, cornmeal, ground oats and beef
scrap.
Skim milk or butter milk can be
used in place OF beef scrap il 1t is
available. Hens having milk usually
eat more grain, but production per
pounds OF grain consumed is greater.

For food purposes pigeons are usu-
ally classed with poultry. Culturally
they are in q class by themselves,
producing meat only, producing it very
quickly and under conditions that do
not admit of growing any other crea-
ture used for food.
While the ideal arrangement for
pigeons is to have their house on the
ground, and a small covered yard
called "fy'-connected with it,
pigeon keeping may be carried on
extensively in upper rooms, or lofts,
with or without an open-air fly. Many
focks of pigeons are kept in large cit
les in quarters provided for them In
the lofts or on the roofs Of buildings
used for mercantile and manufacture
ing purposes.
A space six feet square, and high
enough for the attendant to stand
erect, will accommodate eight to ten
pairs Of pigeons for squad breeding.
The birds mate and begin breeding
when six to seveQ months old. Two
eggs are laid by the hen. Then the
male shares with her the duty Of incu-
baton. The young hatch In about II
days. At four weeks old average good
squads will weigh about three-Quarters
of pound each. Some of the larger
ones will weigh over a pound at that
age.
A good pair Of breeders will produce
six or seven more pairs Of squads a
year. AS many as IL pairs Of squads
have been produced by one pair in a
year. When production is high the fe-
male lays and begins incubation while
she has young still In the nest, leaving
the care Of them to her mate.

On a farm q lock OF free pigeons. IT,
not kept down by killing Off the In
crease, soon becomes a nuisance, de-
stroying grain and doing q great deal
Of damage, especially on new-seeded
ground.
The remedy for this is to keep the
pigeons under control and use the
young birds, except the few needed to
keep up the flock, as fast as ready for
the table. By establishing the flock
of pigeons In an accessible place,
giving them a little feed occasionally
in their loft, and keeping them shut in
and feeding them when they could
damage new-seeded ground, a farm
flock Of pigeons can be made to con-
tribute substantially to the meat sup
ply, and still be prevented from doing
any serious damage.

WHY NOT SKIM MILK RourEsq

To make use of q valuable food
which has been very much neglected,
the federal dairy division is urging
dealers to consider. seriously the adj
visibility Of putting out skim milk on
their regular milk routes. Consumers
can help the movement by asking for
this product.
In the past many dealers have been
opposed to the sale Of skim milk on
the routes, fearing that it would cur
tail the consumption of whole milk.
It is believed, however, that many
people, If they had an opportunity,
would use skim milk for cooking and
drinking in addition to their custom
airy quantity of whole milk. Skim milk
sold in this way should be pasteurized
and handled as carefully as market
milk. It should also be labeled con-
spicuously to comply with local re-
quirements, so that the consumer may
be fully Informed as to it's true char
-acter.
Skim milk contains all the food ele-
ments Of whole milk except the fat. It
has little more protein than whole
milk, but because Of the deficiency In
fat, does not supply so much energy.
When per cent whole milk-an
average butterfat content of market
milk-sells at II cents a quart, skim
milk is worth 12.4 cents a quart as a
source of protein. In energy value,
skim milk is worth 6.3 cents a quart
when 4 per cent whole milk is sell
ing for IL cents.

uniting Queens College, of Charlotte;

that they were no longer able to carry
the burden Of debt under which the
college has been struggling since 1t
