HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWERS

In addition to the grain and the
table scraps In feeding chickens for
meat and eggs, 1t Is well to feed q dry
mash. This dry mash Is composed OF
various ground grains and Is placed
In a mash hopper or box from which
the hens Gun help themselves. The
advantage of feeding such q mash Is
that the hens always have access to
feed, and this tends to make up for
any faulty, inexperienced, or insuffi'
cIent feeding. The hens do not like
the dry mash SO we'll that they are
likely to Overeat, but 1t will supply
source Of feed in case they are not
getting enough. The dry mash also
provides q suitable medium for feeding
beef scrap, a certain amount Of which
may or may not be necessary, depend
ing upon the amount of meat scraps
available In the table waste. If the
hens show tendency to become over
fat II may be desirable to close the
mash hopper during a part Of the day
and allow them access to 1t only dur
ing n certain period, preferably tho
afternoon. A good dry mash is com
posed of equal parts by weight of
cOrnmeal, wheat bran, wheat mid
llings. and beef scrap. Another good
mash is composed of three parts by
weight of c0rnmeal and one part beef
scrap. Still third mash, which has
given excellent results, Is composed of
one pound of wheat bran. one pound
of wheat middlingS, Go pounds of beef
scraps, and 1G.5 pounds Of cOrnmeal.
| The beef scrap used in the dry mash
is usually the most expensive ingred'
lent, but 1t is n very essential part of
the mash and very efficient for egg
production. It should not be elimi.
mated or reduced ulleSs the quantity
cradle or unless some other product
can be substituted for it. Fish scrap,
when available, may replace the beef
scrap, or cottonseed meal can be used
to replace One-half the beef scrap in
the mash. No attempt should be made
to replace more than half the beef
scrap with cottonseed meal, as the re-
suits in egg production and in the
quality of the eggs will be unsatisfac-
tory.
Green cut bone can often be pur-
chased from the butcher. This ma
terial when procured fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap. 1t
should be purchased in small Quanti
ties, as it can not be kept fresh for
any length of time and when spoiled
may cause severe bowel trouble. II is
best fed in a trough not oftener than
every other day, allowing about one
half ounce per bird. Should severe or
! continued lOoseness Of the bowels fol.
low the feeding of green cut bone II
should be discontinued or the quaint,
ty reduced.
Vegetable tops, parings, and other
vegetable refuse supply a valuable and
very necessary green feed for the hens.
Lawn clippings also are valuable
| green feed. They can be fed as soon
as cut, or they may be dried or cured
stored in bags, and saved until winter
when they can be soaked in warm wa
ter and fed in that condition or he

The campaign to increase the na- ton's output of meat foods, inaug- urated the year before America en- tered the war. Is now beginning to show results, says the New York Times. In May, for the first time, re- ceipts of cattle, sheep, and hogs show ed an increase over the corresponding month of the preceding year, Now the Bureau of Markets reports in creasc.5 in the receipts of all classes of live stock, except horses and mules, at stockyards in 5S cities during June, as compared with June, 1917. The Increase in cattle receipts amounted | 29,602, IT per cent; the increase in hog receipts to 153,905, or 5.5 per cent, and tEa increase in sheep re- Ceipts to 173yS70, or 14.S per cent. Increases in cattle receipts in 56 cities for the half-year ended June 30, 1918, compared with the corresponding period for 1917, totaled 9S1,366, or 10.4 per cent. The corresponding figures for hogs show an increase of 1,747,04S, or 8.1 per cent. A com parison of the sheep receipts for this six-month period with those for the first six months of 1917 shows a de- crease of 192,155, CT 2.6 per cent.
 Increases in shipments of cattle, hogs, and sheep from 46 cities are shown also by the report. These were respectively 40, 22.8 and SS.2 per cent more in June, 1918, than Iii June, 1917. THhe increases in ship June, 1917. The increases in ship six months of 1918, as compared with the first six months of 1917, were 12.3 per cent. for cattle, 16.1 per cent. for hogs, and 9.6 per cen4. for sheep.
 Reports for A markets for June, 1918, show that local slaughter of cat tie was three-tenths of 1 per cent, and that local slaughter of sheep was 6 per cent. more than in June, 1917.

From 60 to 90 per cent. of holiday merchandise has already been made up and Is either in the hands of the producer, the wholesaler, or the retailer, Inabil- ity to liquldate this merchandise will throw heavy burden on the retailer and the banks. On the oc4er hand, the distribution of this merchandise will enable business men to invest more literally in Liberty bonds,
