For every pullet reared 1t required the
setting of 4.57 eggs.
Cockerels grew more rapidly than pull
let's.
For every 100 eggs set poultryman
should have reason to expect nearly %
bullets. If 100 pullets are desired, he
should set 457 eggs.
The sale of cockerels may be potent
factor in reducing the net cost of a
pullet. especially II the former are mar
keted early enough to fetch good prices.
Increased mortality, of course, means
increased cost of production for the liv-
ing chicks, inasmuch as they must bear
the expenses Of incubation feed and so
on which are lost in the dead chicks.
NEED FOR BALANCED RATION
The egg Is made by piece work, as 1t
were. First the yolk is formed, then
the white. or abumen. is placed round
it; finally the shell membrane and the
shell are added. Each represents a sep
arate and distinct process, and each calls
for certain materials.
If a hen Is so fed that her system
stores up materials for 100 yolks, so shells
and % whites. then rs eggs would be ali
the hen could lay. If the hen has more
shell material. she Is likely to lay soft
shell eggs.
The profitable. high producing hen is
one that stores up sufficient materials
for 100 yolks 100 whites and 100 shells
in as near 100 days as possible. To dc
so she must be fed n balanced ra.
ton. one that is capable of supplying tn,
body with every need.
The following table. compiled by TIL,

opened on Saturday by Auditor j. M.

! Dates have been set for the time when
the different buildings must be torn down
The latest date allowed to have the
ground cleared is June 10, although most
of the work will begin around May 1. This
Is to allow the ground to become firm
enough so that 1t won't be torn up more
than Is already the case. After the last
building has been torn down and the deb
ris taken away, the campus will have tc
be graded, for over most of 1t there is mo-
a bit of grass to be seen. The continued
drilling of so many men and the heavy
! trucks going back and forth have turned
1t into a quagmire and where the battal
ion used to drill there are so many hole:
made by trucks being stuck in the mut
that there is not room enough for many O.
of the battalion formations. An effort vii
probably be made at once to repair this
drill field for the men must have outdoor
practice before their inspection in Ma.
The rest of the campus will be gotten init

And kept intact the dear relation.

And kept him till his name was

FIGHTING CANNIBALs IN 1910

There are many differences between

TURKISH MIsRULE AND GERMAN
IMPERIALISM

There were two tests for Germany's
fitness to fulfill the position which Eng
land had vacated as guardian of Turkey.
One was that she should not use 1t to
promote her own selfish commercial adj
vantage. The other was that she should
make some attempt to protect the sub
ject populations from the tyranny OF
Turkish misrule. Had she satisfied
either of these tests. England for one
would not have stood in her way. She
satisfied neither. Her commercial enter
prises like Bagdad Railway were really
disguised chartered companies, con-
ceived in the interests not of their share
holders but of German Imperialism.
Further. she did nothing for the welfare
of the subject populations. On the cons
trary, of all the wicked acts committed
by Germany In this war, none is quite 80
mean or so cowardly as her acquiescence
| in the wholesale murder of the Armen-
ians by her Turkish Ally. Germany de-
liberately allied herself with the forces
| of reaction In Turkey 1t soon became
evident that II her policy in the East
prevailed. not only would our imperial
interests be endangered but the wicked
and reactionary politics which the allie,
were combating In the West were des.
| tined to triumph in the East. Belief In
justice is not a matter of latitude and
longitude; and having begun this strug
gle we were bound to continue It unit
liberty had been secured in the East NJ
less than in the West The cause of tn,
Turk was recognized to be In substance
Identical with that Of the Germans. ant
there was no distinguishing between thu
rights of Belgium and the rights of tn,
Jewish nationally In Palestine between
the claims Of the Poles and of the Jugo
Slavs to nationhood and the claims o.
the Arabs and the Armenans.-Fron
