War Ration for Poultry.
IRy r z MCGreW.l

The experts Of the United States
government and the state agricultural
colleges have been working for many
months trying to formulate mixture
of grains that can be used for feeding
to poultry without using up the wheat
which must be kept to feed the SOL
ders. In place of wheat they suggest
the so-called feeding wheat. This is
made up of wheat screenings and con
sist of small particles, shrunken grains
and the defective grains that are I'M
fit for grinding. This feeding wheat, as
it is called, has the greater part Oh all
the useless seeds removed from it.
The new war ration for poultry con-
sists of a mixture Of fifty pounds OF
cracked corn, ten pounds Of feeding
wheat twenty pounds Of heavy oats
Clipped oats preferred), twenty pounds
of barley, making total Of one hun
dred pounds which contains protein
and carbohydrates in about the proper
proportion for feeding for eggs.To make
this ration equal to the occasion, a dry
mash mixture is suggested for feeding
In the hoppers, from which the hens
can help themselves. This mixture is
composed OF ten pounds OF wheat bran,
ten pounds OF wheat middiings, ten
pounds OF corn gluten feed, ten pounds

of meat scrap and ten pounds OF CRUSH
ed oyster shell all to be mived together
and be used as a dry mash. This same
meal mixture can be used for making
a wet mash which is best when mos
tened with milk of some kind. either
skim milk, sour milk or buttermilk
When, this can not be added the mash
can be moistened with warm water.
Hens will lay quite as well. however, IL
the mash is fed in a dry hopper from
which they can help themselves.
Now that spring is approaching ana
that hens will naturally lay better than
during the early winter months, 1t Will
be less difficult to obtain good results
from them in egg production. Those
who expect to use their own eggs for
Matching should be very careful not
to oyerfeed on grain or meal mixtures
that are fattening. The hens will not
lay SO well when so fed, nor will the
eggs they do lay hatch so well as they
will if the hens are fed a less fatten-
ing ration. plenty Of green stuff ana
kept busy all the time scratching for
the grain they get. Some imagine that
il they feed the hens properly they
should lay every other day at least, but
this Is not true. Hens must be well
bred, properly fed and be full OF vigor
to lay at all. Such hens are apt to lay
even tho not fed so carefully. In addi-

Berlin Undertakes Strength Of Italy

allied forces of the west, with the re-
suit of altering the balance, if not so
far as 10 promise success for Ger
man offensive at least far enough to
insure a successful defensive even with
an American army in the field.
II has always been a gross mistake
to imag i've that the enemy does not
take American intervention seriously.
He does.
The gravity Of the failure manifestly
must make all the difference on the
west. Manifestly it has made the task
of sustaining the dependent allies OF
Germany more burdensome, Manifestly
it has urged on the so-called negotia-
tons at Brest- Litovsk. The enemy is
now withdrawing troops from Italy,
writing down, as ii were, his liabilities
IN that quarter. Meanwhile the adver-
tised attack on the west has not mater
ialized.

A British correspondent on the Ital-
ian front says that by far the most
important of recent military events
have been those in Italy. The enemy
attempt TO force the line OF the Piave
has failed-detintely. 1t has been a
heavy reverse not merely because of
the losses incurred and the drain of
these operations on the enemys NUM-
tons and men. left his forces in Italy
n situation little 10 be envied. Be
yond doubt when the plan OF attack
ing Italy, was decided on there was
hope OF oyerrunning northern italy.
and not only OF resoundirg political
effect but OF securing foodstuffs sore
l.: needed in central Europe. Instead Of
that the Germans find that they have
fallen into a hornets nest.
The fighting value of the Italian
army always has been ridiculously un-
derra.ed at Benin, and the defeats Of
the Austrians probably were put down
to their infor.Ority rather than to the
quality a the Italian troops. Some
selected German divisions. It was
thought, would change all that. The
same opinion vas held by many others
and was the cause Of the panic mon
gering which accompanied the Italian
retirement from Isonzo. tho that re-
tirement afforded the best possible
proof of Italian steadiness and skill,
but for steadiness and skill 1t could
not have taken place. Both as a move
nent and as affording that proof 1t
was really decisive OF the winter cam
paign. for It left the attempt to force
the line OF the Piave very dubious
undertaking at best. With the COM
muncations the enemy has in Italy TO
depend on no offensive operations OF
any magnitude are for the present
feasible. That is why his failure may
be considered definite.
Like other events in the war. this is
Of much more local importane. And so
far as Italy is concerned, the political
effect has been the reverse OF that an
t!cipated The foodstuffs. too. have not
been collected On the other hand. the
last forces and resources OF Austria
have been embarked in by no means
hopeful undertaking. The Italian army
has been discovered even in Berlin to be
powerful and efficient force. When
al the time il was given out that the
French and British would be obliged
to mortgage their reserves for Italy IN
the endeavor 10 avert collapse. the
compare tive weakness Of an Italian
army was counted on. That opinion has
certainly had TO be reversed since.
The surprise must have been Tar
from pleasant. Germany is bound 70
sustain her dependent adde's. The task
OF sustaining Austria is disclosed as
enormous, quite apart from that OF
sustaining Turkey and Bulgaria.
Assuming the success OF the attack
there would ensue, thru political and
