Skim Milk for Poultry

Hang pail Of skim milk on q
spike in the hen house SO the chick.
ems can not tip it over. Take it
out before it is entirely empty as
the last will be dirty. A hundred
hens will drink about three gallons
day when once used to it and they
will pay you we'll for the milk.
Be sure to give them plenty of
clean water too. At the Indiana
Experiment Station one pen of
chickens was fed skim milk, an
other pen was fed meat scraps and
a third pen was fed grain only.
All pens of chickens. Of course, re-
ceived the same amount of grain,
the only difference was in the skim
milk and meat scraps.
The chickens fed skim milk pro-
duced 1902 eggs per pullet; the
chickens fed on meat scraps produc-
ed 1859 eggs per pul ct and the
chickens fed on the grain produced
only 6l.2 eggs per pullet. The
profit above feed in the skimmilk
pen was $l.69 per hen; in the meat
scrap pen it was $1.62; and in the
all grain pen it was 5 cents.
The feeding value of skimmilk for
pullets for egg laying was 81. Copper
hundred pounds, which is getting a
pretty good price for by product
from the dairy COW. Dairying
pays, but If the by-products are
properly used it pays much better.

Proclamation


The World is at the brink OF
starvation. Devastated Europe lies
before US. Armenia is perishinQ
The demands upon the United
States Of America for division OF
her food supply with the starving
peoples of the Earth were never SO
great as now.
Last year South Dakota stood
first among the states Of the Union
in the production of food. This
was in large part due to the Boys
Working Reserve. They did a
splendid work in substituting for
our $4,000 brave men who were
soldering at the front.
The demands upon South Dakota
for large food supply this year
will be even greater than in 1918.
In orer to meet this unusual situa-
tion, we must again have the help
of our industrious boys.
The week Of January 2Oth-25th,
having been proclaimed by tae
National government .as a time for
enrolment Of all the boys Of the
Union in this important work

Prepay Order on Express
ReScindgd

Sioux Falls, Jan. Sit will no
longer be necessary for agents of
the American Railway Express
company in South Dakota to insist
on prepayment Of charges from ship
pers on intrastate business. In
structions to this effect of the
company in the state from the office
of Superintendent w. D. Llewelln
in this city.
When the difficulty between the
state and government authorities
over the question of the rates heav-
lily increased by Director General
Nc Adoo became acute couple of
weeks ago and resulted in tenn
porary restraining order from put
ting them into effect, being issued
by the state supreme court the
government retaliated by notifying
the express company agen is in
South Dakota to decline all ship
ment unless prepaid under the new
rate. While Director McAdoo in a
statement issued yesterday indicat-
ed clearly that he purposes to stand
by the new rate and regrets a
clash of government and state au-
thority he is understood to have
sufficiently modified his ruling to
permit the resembling of the pre-
payment order> The traffic bureau
of the Sioux Falls Commercial club
is confident that the question will
be shortly adjudicated and that
shippers who pay the present in
crease, which is held by state au.
thorities to be excessive and un-
warranted will ultimately receive
their money back.
