P0RRIDGE FEED FOR POULTRY
Scraps and Waste Are Best Prepared
by Running Through an Ordi-
nary Meat Cutter.

Table scraps and kitchen waste are
hest prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
er. After the material has been put
through the grinder 1t is usually
rather moist mass, and it is well to
mix with it cornmeal, bran or other
ground grain until the whole mass as
sumes crumbly condition. The usual
method is to feed the table scraps at
noon or at night, or at both times. as
may be desired, in trough or on
board. All should be fed that the
hens will eat up clean. and If any of
the material Is left after one-half or
three quarters of an hour it should
be removed. If allowed to lie 1t may
spoil and would be very bad for the
hens.

AS they became accustomed to the
light the man turned his eyes TOWARD
the door-his one thought now was Of
escape, from this frightful tomb-ant
as he did so he saw the body of the
naked giant lying stretched upon the
floor just within the doorway. Werpel
drew back in sudden fear of detection
but second glance convinced him
that the Englishman was dead. From
a great cash in the mans head a pool
of blood had collected upon the con-
crete floor.
Quickly, the Belgian leaped over the
PROSTATE form of his erStwhile host
and without thought of succor for
the man in whom, for aught he knew,
life still remained. he bolted for the
passageway and safety.
But his renewed hopes were soon
dashed. Just beyond the doorway he
found the passage completely clogged
and choked by impenetrable masses of
shattered rock. Once more he turned
and re-entered the treasure vault. TAX
ing the candle from its place he COM
menced a systematic search of the
apartment, nor had he gone far before
he discovered another door in the OPP
posite end of the room, door which
gave upon creaking hinges TO the
weight of his body. Beyond the door
lay another narrow passageway. Along
this Werper made his way, ascending
a flight of stone steps to another CORR
dor twenty feet above the level of the
first
Before him was a circular shaft. He
held the candle above it and peered
downward. Below him, at great dis
lance. he saw the light reflected back
from the surface of pool of water.
He had come upon a well. He raised
the candle above his head and peered
across the black void, and there upon
the opposite side he saw the continu-
alton of the tunnel; but how was he to
span the gulf?
AS he stood there measuring the dis
lance to the opposite side and wonder
ing if he dared venture so great leap,
there broke suddenly upon his startled
ears a piercing scream which dimln-
ished gradually until it ended in
series of dismal means.
The Belgian shuddered and looked
fearfully upward, for the scream had
seemed to come from above him. AS
he looked he saw an opening far over
head, and a patch of sky pinked with
brilliant stars.
He listened fearfully, but the cry
was not repeated, and at last spurred
to desperate means, he gathered him.
self for the leap across the chasm. Co
ing back twenty PAGES, he took run
ming start, and at the edge of the well,
leaped upward and outward in an at
tempt to gain the opposite side.
In his hand he clutched the sput-
tering candle, and as he took the leap
the rush of air extinguished it. IN

should be present in certain fairly
well-fixed proportions if the desired
results are to be obtained most eco
nomically. These constituents are
mineral, heterogeneous, and carbona-
ceous, all Of which are contained in
corn, wheat, oats and barley, but not
in the right proportions to give the
greatest egg yield. In addition some
animal feed and green feed should be
supplied.
In feeding poultry valuable les
son may be learned from nature. In
the spring the production of eggs ON
the farm is an easy matter. Fowls
which are at liberty to roam find an
abundance of green and animal feed
on their range, which with grain fur
nishes a perfect ration for laying
hens. In addition to this they get
plenty of exercise and fresh air. So
far as lies within his power, then, the
feeder should aim to make the winter
conditions springlike.

body and to supply the egg-naking

WELCOME OF WORDS
BARRIERS OF MUD
bristol Times-C Courier. }

Virginia, with more than ten
million unoccupied tilla BILE acres
of highly productive, low priced
lands, which are not now being
used for agricultural purposes
land similar to that which now
averages fifty to sixty bushels OF
corn TO the acre and on which
more than 600 bushels per acre
have been produced at cost OF
II cents n bushel and which
annually will yield FIVE tons or
more of alfalfa to the acre
bids the agricultural homeseeker
cordial welcome.
Governor Westmoreland Davis thus
opens the leading article in booklet
on Virginia which is being distrib-
uted by the United States railroad ad-
ministration. a photo of beautiful
country home adorns the top OF the
page, Rand McSakly map Viz
ginia accompanies the booklet but no
map showing the roads of the state.
Governor Davis further points out
that the 100000 acres Of idle land
referred to is located between the
Blue Ridge and the coast in the heart
of the state, including the southside
counties. He does not state that none
of this idle land is located along
good roads, because idle lands and
Eoou loduS arr ItCL toSdttu AoSEhiS'.
Good roads bring progress and put
idle lands to work for the state.
Suppose an agricultural home
seeker" heeds Governor Daviss well
come to Virginia, and starts to find
the idle lands in his Ford and lands
in a mudhole. Do rs he write back Tor
all his old neighbors to sell out and
follow him to Virginia? Hardly.
Rather he raises merry cain about
the roads in Virginia and sets out to
flnd a state which is at least Eoing
ahead with a good roads program.
and the idle lands lin Virginia con-
tinue idle, and will continue idle I'M
til they are made accessible by good
roads.
II Governor Davis had exhibited a
map of the State Highway System of
Virginia, and called attention to the
fact that the federal government had
just appropriated about $4,000 to
aid the state in building its roads, and
that he as. governor had called, the
legislature in special session in order
that steps might be taken to at once
meet the federal proposition and go
forward with the program of con-
structing roads throughout the state.
and that the system of roads pro-
posed to be built tfaverses every
county in the state, including the
counties in which these idle lands are
located. and that those who come now
and buy these idle lands would reap
rich reward and would not he LONG
without the advantages OF good roads.
then he might well have expected
some response to his words of vel.
come.
AS It is, unfortunately. the "agricul-
tural homeseeker" will learn that the
roads to the idle lands and beautiful
homes pictured by Governor Davis
are blocked by insuperable mud BAR
riers. and by difficulties in the path OF
progress in which the governor Is sup
posed to lead. So they will honk
honk. their horns as they give Vir-
ginia and her backward looking gov
ernor the high sign and ride on for
lands that are not idle along good
roads in other states.
