Donkey Was Found Of Music.

The effect of music on q donkey was
described at length in an issue Of the
Mercure de France for the year 1863.
Apparently this young donkey always
showed the greatest interest in the
concerts which were held regularly In
tie drawing-room Of French chateau.
AS soon as the music began, the donkey
approached the window and showed
quite plainly whether the pieces given
We're to his taste or not.
He was found of simple music and
showed impotence at elaborate eff
fects. What he particularly enjoyed
was to hear the mistress of the house
sing. She had particularly fine voice,
and he seemed to listen to every note
with delight. One day, when duet
was being sung. his feelings completely
overpowered him and he rushed into
the drawing-room and marked his ap-
probation of the two singers by bray
ing loudly.

CHEAPER POULTRY
RATIONS
Observation-Disclosures
prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The demand for wheat for human
consumption necessitates that 1t be
used as 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 ag-
riculture, and excellent results have
been secured. Thirty laying hens, to
which wheatless ratiOns were fed,
produced in the two years covered
by the test on an average Of 147.3
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 wheatless ration is also being
tried on a pen of Buff Orpington pull
lets and during the past ten months
they have laid on an average Of 111.3
eggs, a very good yiS.SS for this pc
Rod.
The wheatless 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 eat
about as much Of 1t us of the dry
mash. During the two-year test the
hens were provided with free range
where they could pick a variety of
green feed. Leghorn pullets were
used and 1t was found that it took
46 pounds of feed to produce a dozen
eggs. Fifty-two pounds Of grain was
consumed by each pullet annually,
and of this amount twenty-six pounds
was from the scratch mixture. When
wheat Is omitted from the ration 1t Is
advisable to 'eed more beef scrap.
Laying hens 4 ould have a 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 i'm number and quality of eggs.
Mussel meal has not proven as good
IA substitute for beef scrap Us fish
meal, which. TO the amount of 20 per
cent of the mash, has affected the
