The first ration consists Of mixture
of six parts by weight of corn meal
and four parts Of low-grade wheat
-four or middlings; the second ration
is one part by weight, of shorts or mid
dlIngs, two parts OF low-grade -four and
three parts OF corn meal; while the
third feeding mixture Is composed OF
equal parts by weight Of corn meal.
wheat -four or middllngs, and Oat flour.
with each or all Of these grain mix
lures either whole milk or skim milk
should be fed. In amount sufficient to
bring the mixture to the consistency
Of porridge, so that It will drop from
the end Of a spoon. II no milk Is avail
able, the farmer should add ID per
cent of chopped vegetables and per
cent Of meat meal to the above rations.
If water Is used for mixing the feed.
enough should be used to make crum-
bly,, moist mixture. Water may also
be given to the fowls for drinking pur-
poses where this feeding combination
Is used, but In the case where milk Is
used In the ration It Is not advisable
to supply any additional water.
Feed Light RatTons at First.
When the birds are first confined for
fnttening purposes they should be fed
lightly for two to three days, after
which they may be furnished all that
they will Glenn up In 80 minutes, two
or three times day. Their heaviest
meal for the day should always be the
last one. Comprehensive experiments
by the United States department OF
agriculture show that 1t takes 3h
pounds Of grain to produce one pound
of gain on fattening poultry. Usually
1t costs considerably more to fatten
mature hens than 1t does to flesh mp
cockerels and younger stock. Accord
ing To the experience Of the depart
ment specialists, the general purpose
birds are the most desirable for fatten-
Ing purposes.
AS rule the fattening period usu-
ally lasts from seven to seventeen
days. during which time the fowls are
confined In coops. The younger or
smaller birds give good results where
they are fed for the longer period.
What has been said In the foregoing
paragraphs applies with equal force to
the fattening Of all poultry.
The accompanying Illustration shows
a practical homemade fattenlng bat
terry I'm which the moist ratlOns may
be fed In troughs. so that the birds can
eat cafeteria fashion.

POULTRY PRIMER

An illustrated publication,
Farmers Bulletin 104O, Is now
available, which deals with the
fundamentals underlying the
production Of poultry. BY the
use of many appropriate pic
lures, the principles of poultry
keeping are impressed on the
reader.
Under Selecting the Breed"
for example, photographs are
shown of the more popular
breeds of each of the three main
classes Of poultry, giving the
reader an immediate and COM
plete idea Of the appearance Of
these fowls, the classes to which
they belong, and their economi-I
cal usefulness. In like manner
other essential phases Of poul-
try keeping are Illustrated and
discussed.
Throughout the bulletin ref
erences are given to other pub
locations issued by this depart
ment which give more detailed
information on each of the sub
jects discussed and which may
be obtained on request.

COAL QUEUES AGAIN
 MAKE APPEARANCE
 IN LONDON CITY

LONDON, March 19.-Coal queues, the terror of poor London, have once more made their appearance because of an acute shortage in the coal supply, and thousands upon thou sands of persons have been daily standing in line in the hope of get ting enough coal to keep some kind of fire going in their humble homes. A coal queue is an interesting sight. Early in the morning the number of customers appearing at some distributing joint exceeds the number being disposed of by the coal merchant So they line up; in the order of their arrival, and pa tiently wait until they are supplied, or are told by the merchant that he has no more-by no means an infre- quent development.
 They buy in small quantities for I two reasons-some of them have lit tie money to invest in coal at OK isting high prices, while the second cause is the lack of means to re move large quantities. Often peram
 bulators provide the vehicle, but more often the purchaser tucks his
 "black diamonds" away in an olL basket, and hurries on his way.

"MUSH-ON" BROUGHT HIS VESSEL INTO
 PORT WITH CREW
Incident Is Related About We'll Known Alaskan, Known to All of the Old
 Timers.

The following from the Seattle Star deals with one of the best known characters in Alaska. Fred Jansa was one of the first to join the rush to Dawson, and in the en deavor to supply the people of that camp with the best food for the least effort devolved upon a scheme which made him famous.
 He had a small tin house construct ed by a local tinsmith which fit over tray carried by a strap around the neck. In this sfall house which was labeled the "Mushon Hotel he carried an assortment of sandwiches, tamales, hot dogs and other choice lunch delicacies.
 AS long as the Dawson camp re- tained it's rush days character. "Mushon" as he came to be known, did a thriving business. Later he went to Fairbanks and from there to Seattle, where he resided until the outbreak of the war.
 Because of the fact that few of
  his real name, Mushon applied to the court for a change of name which was granted. He was Belgian by birth and at the first outbreak of the war offered his services to the Allies.
 The clipping from the Star fol lows:
 Fred Jansa Mushon, Seattle soft lrink merchant, who has returned here from service with the French Navy as a lieutenant led an influen za-stricken crew into safety at Callao Chile, just after the signing of the armistice.
 Mushon's ship, the Vimy. which | had sailed from San Francisco on French Government service, and was two days out at sea when the cap tain and crew, with the exception o1 | Mushon and two men, were taker down with influenza.
