CENT EMAN OF FORTUNE
SIGNS FOR LACK OF HOME
There Was Once a Girl" He Says,
Then Stops as He Tells What

LIE OF Adventure Lost Him.
Indianapolis. lnd.-A gentleman Of
fortune" Harry Crawford Mckenzie
native of Marion County. who has
been thru three wars. led forces In
two revoits AGAINST reignine powers
and who has girdled the world three
times in his travels. sat weeping as
he told OF what his adventures had
lost him. Loneliness had brought him
back TO his Old home for visit.
Strange TO say this man. now near
ly 20. most regrets the lack OF home
and children.
Mckenzic's wandernes started with
the Civil War, in which he served
with an Indiana regiment as a drum
mer boy. After the war he started
for the East md remained there until
he was %, and the call of adventure
led him eventually to Africa.
In Africa he was captain in the up
rising OF natives of British West
Africa in 1873. an uprising suppressed
by British arms in less than two
weeks. Mckenzie was wounded in the
leg and still lmps.
He went to the Philippine Islands
next and was leader in an uprising of
natives against Spanish rule. another
Inflated event, for il endured only four
days. This uprising was to have been
general. according TO Mckenzie. but
failed because proper orders were not
given various leaders.
Mckenzie then went to Egypt. Ans
tralia, Italy. China and all Oriental
lands. In China he was in peril when
found in Chinese temple.
Thru friendship with the natives Of
Africa. Mckenzie finally established a
trading business there. This business
made him independent and he retired
from. 1t ten years ago.
But there's note lacking in his life.
All the adventures he has had. all the
money he has made. all the sights he
has seen and all the experiences his
jaunts have given him do not make
up for the home he has missed.
There was once girl Mckenzie
began, then broke off sue enly. as he
wiped away tears. He would not say

A WHEATLESS EGG
LAYING RATION.

With wheat so high, poultrymen
will be interested to learn that on
the United States Department of Ag-
| riculture experiment farm excellent
egglaying results were secured with
a wheatless ration. Thirty Leghorn
pullets 10 which this ration has been
fed for l Z years produced an average
| of 1913 eggs per hen for the pullet
year. This compares favorably with
egg yields secured on other rations
containing wheat and therefore more
expensive. This pen, moreover, dur
ing the first 16 weeks { its second
year has averaged 28.5 eggs per hen.
rs eggs per hen being produced in
March.
The same wheatless ration has been
fed since last November to a pen OF
Buff Orpington pullets which have
laid SO eggs per hen in 20 weeks, and
hold the highest record of the large
feeding pens Of pullets at the farm
this year, Two other pens, however,
are less than / egg per hen behind
this pen.
The ration used was as follows:
Scratch mixture:-2 pounds cracked
corn, l pound oats.
Dry mash:-3 pounds corn meal,
pound beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed spar,
ingly so that the hens ate about equal
parts of this mixture and of the dry
mash. The total grain consumption
of feed for the year waa 50 pounds,
of which 70 pounds was scratch mix
ture. Throughout the year it took
as pounds of feed to produce a dozen
eggs.
This scratch mixture, with wheat
$257, cracked corn s1.35, and oats 10
cents per bushel. is 40 cents per
hundred pounds cheaper than the re-
gular mixture Of equal parts cracked
corn, wheat, and oats. Another mash
which is slightly cheaper than this
one, is made of per cent each of
bran and middlings. 26 per cent beef
scrap, and Sc per cent corn meal.
If the wheat is omitted from the
ration it is very essential to feed a
proportion of beef scrap
in the. mash, but with present prices
beef scrap is one Of the cheapest
poultry feeds. considering it's high pro
tein content
These experiments, tho specialists
say, prove that wheat is not essential
in an egglaying ration and that ex
cellent results can be secured BY
using corn and oats as scratch mix
ture provided this is fed with good
mash containing % per cent beef
scrap.
