No Best Fowl Ration.

A well balanced poultry ration con-
tains the proper proportion of protein
and carbohydrates to satisfy the needs
and desires Of the farm fowls, while 1t
also carries the mineral matter, bulk
and palatability necessary to accom-
plish good feeding results. There is no
best ration superior to all others. The
aim of poultry experts is to ascertain
about what mixture of the poultry feed
gives the best results and then to use
this relative proportion in making ra-
tons or In substituting different feeds
according to their price and availa-
bility.
Notifications of feeding methods are
so numerous that the individual flock
owner may select the method which
he thinks best suited to his conditions.

Hens go after a mash in the same
way that small boys tackle plum pud-
ding at Christmas. Usually ground
feeds, such as. cornmeal, corn chop,
corn and cob meal, wheat bran, mid
dlings. shorts, ground oats, cotton
seed meal, linseed meal, gluten meal
and alfalfa meal, are used in the mash,
with the addition of>some such ami
NAL protein as beef or meat scraps,
fish meal or scrap, and milk. Where
the hens have access to table scraps
or good free range 1t is not neces-
sary to feed SO much animal protein.
Skim milk or buttermilk contains a
large percentage of water and will not
entirely replace the meat feed unless
fed as cottage cheese. Ten pounds Of
skim milk are equal to one pound Of

three -quarters OF an ounce to one

during the winter when range is not
available. Oyster shells and gfit

times.
All the ground grains mentioned
above, except the cottonseed and lin

meat scrap or SKINNED milk by pro-
viding 10 to % pounds Of meat meal
or its equivalent to a 100 pound mix
ture of mash. Because cottonseed and
linseed meals are rich protein feeds.
they should be used in limited guam
titles. The poultryman should regu-
late the proportion of scratch grains
and mash SO that the fowls will con-
sumo about equal parts Of each.

DESERTION CHARGE
Policemen Will Be Tried for

Charges OF desertion against nine
members OF the Police Department are
being prepared today for their trial
before the police trial board. The
nine policemen have left the police
force since August IS.
Under the regulations governing the
Police Department a policeman musr

they are carried on the rolls for three
days and then carried as deserters.
All OF the nine men turned in their
equipment without giving thirty
days notice and after being carried as
absent without leave for three days,
they were listed as deserters.
The number OF men to resign since
August 10 Is the highest number to
resign in many months. One police
official pointed out today that men
were leaving the force every pay day,
giving as their reason that they had
secured better positions, and they
were unable to give the customary
thirty days notice.

near here, last Sunday week. Odie S.
Wathen, of Washington, was killed,
and a score were injured.

Hammond, will call upwards of 100
witnesses, including Ralph Townsend,
Of Camden, N. j., engineman, who
has made affidavit that the engine
which crashed into the foregoing sec
tion should have been in the shops.
Townsend claims the engine emitted
steam from a defective cylinder in
such clouds that it was impossible for
him 10 see road signals while he was
rushing his twelve car special shore
ward at fifty miles an hour. Railway
officials have put the wreck up to
Townsend by showing that he ran
past a yellow caution signal and over
track torpedoes back OF the stalled

gathered TO greet him.

man stepped up and. gripping the

got one left, and I want things fix

There was q spGttering OF applause

Red Cross workers came out The
President asked them IL they were

by the court for the automobile to be
brought into court.
H. c. A. Funk, undertaken who
cared for the body OF Shacl1lefOrd,
testified that he found an automatic
pistol in the victims pocket. There
were six cartridges in the magaEine
and nine other loose cartridges in one

also found q receipt for $500 for

Matter Of Law Involved.
In outlining the case at the outset
Commonwealth Attorney Williams
announced that Il Is not the guilt Of
the killing Of Shackleford, but the
legality or the iIlegality Of the kill
ing, that Is involved in the trial. The
verdict is expected to have an i'm
portant bearing on the limitations on
the enforcement Of the dry law in
Virginia.
A change Of venue was granted for
the trial here because OF the intense
feeling near Winchester, where at one
time IL was necessary to call State
troops to quell a disturbance. There
| has been no indication Of laWlessness
during the trial here.
Both sides present q formidable ar
ray OF legal talent, The common
wealth is being represented by c. Z.

F. S. Tavener and J. B. Bauselman,
OF Woodstock, Va, and Thomas II.

The venerable president OF the fed

doubt that the Commissioners have
acted in violation OF all Federal laws
giving labor the right to organize for
its upbuilding and especially in viola
tion Of Section 6 Of the Clayton act
which prevents interference with

Gompers felt strongly that an i'm

policemen to be patriotic Americans At

Gompers especially pointed out that
in giving charters to policemen's
unions it was with the distinct under
standing. written into the bylaws Of
the Federation, that strikes should
not be resorted to.
Frank Morrison spoke along similar
lines, going into the case freely.
At the conclusion of the conference
the Commissioners told the federation
officials that the arguments they had
presented would be taken under con-
sideration and given every possible
attention.
