New York, November 1S.-Failure of
 the tank steamer department of the,
 United States shipping board to utilize
 its fleet of bulk oil carriers for the
 needs of shipping board vessels, caused a loss to the government of $S,000,0o in one month, Martin J. Gillen testified here today before the Walsh congress siona, committee, inquiring into the shipping board transactions Gillen was special assistant to former Chair man John Barton Payne last May, when he said the alleged dereliction occurred
 The tank steamer department had S4
 vessels, he added. Of these, 20 were in the hands of private operators. It was discovered on May 26 last, 54 vessels
 were tied up at southern ports for lack of fuel oil and in addition 40 per cent of the operators were buying oil on the open market for $4 to $6 8 barrel. At the same time, he added '60 per cent of the oil we were carrying in our ships was furnished at s207 a barreL'
 Gillen further testified that this con- dition of affairs was disclosed through complaints of two operators. Captain
 Paul Foley was then head of the tank steamer department. he said, and ''it was ascertained he did not know that ships were compelled to buy oil at higher price than could have been fur nished by the board" Captain Foley, he added was later relieved of his

COST OF LICE ON HOGS
PROVED IN TESTS

Lice on hogs are extremely ex-
pensive. The fact was proved in
experiments recently concluded by
the Bureau of Animal Industry Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. 1t was shown that lousy
hogs not only consume more food
and make less meat, but that they
are uneasy or restless, a condition
that doubtless lessons the pork-pro-
pucing abilities of the animals.
When not eating, the lice-ridden
swine spent most of their time rub
bling themselves or running around.
If strangers came near they were
noticeably excited. Thisr did not
hold true Of the hogs free from lice.
Three experiments, each extend
ing three months or more and with
from 20 to 80 hogs as subjects, were
conducted. In one experiment it
cost exactly 81 a hundred pounds of
pork more to feed the hogs with
lice than it did to feed the clean
animals. In another, it cost $3.50
more, and in the third, $2.94 more.
The specialists who conducted the
experiments reached the conclusion
that the main reason why hogs with
lice consume more protein feed is
due to the fact that the lice suck
the blood from the animals, and the
latter must use more feed to replace
their losses.
But the lice-ridden hogs cannot
make up for the blood sucked by
their parasites. For instance, at
the beginning Of one experiment 5
hogs with lice weighed a total of
1,167 pounds, and Is hogs without
lice weighed 1925 pounds. At the
end of the experiment the lousy
hogs weighed 2,S72 pounds and the
clean hogs weighed $3.50 pounds.
although the total feed Consumed
by the clean hogs weighed only 203
pounds more than that eaten by the
animals with lice.
The Department OF Agriculture
will be glad to supply farmers with
that tell how to free
their hogs of lice.

WHAT Is A POUND
OF BUTTER WORTH

Persons eating real butter nova
days are paying for it. The prices
charged in the various stores vary
widely, but all are much higher than
before the war. Who gets the large
end of the profit? is often asked /;
and invariably the farmer is desig-
mated as the profiteer. The verdict
is pronounced by the great consum-
ing public and that verdict is based
on incomplete information. All the
evidence the jury usually has in
hand is the grecer's sales slip. The

heard.
In order better to present the
case, the Farm Management Depart
ment of the University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture has prepared
brief for the farmer. This is not
a statement Of theoretical costs, but
costs based on figures gathered from
a large number OF farmers in Miss

and while it may be high for some

the farmer 73 cents a pound at

entitled to a small profit, which
should be added to the cost TO show
what he receives. The rest of the
price is tackled on as the pound OF

PROPER FEED AND CARE
FOR CHICKS ESSENTIAL.
(By 0. NJ. Allen)

Thousands OF chicks die every
year through the use of poorly con-
structed breeders and the mismana-
cement of their caretakers. In
rearing baby chicks a good brooder
is really more essential than a good
incubator, for, while the saying
that a chick well Matched is half
raised is undoubtedly true, a poor
brooder is a death trap not to be
considered by the wise poultryman
While we have had good success
with several styles of brooders, for
the past ten years we still like some
of the oil burner brooders. Early
in the season we place these inside
of colony houses where there is
plenty of light room and fresh ar.
When the chicks begin hatchilg
we heat the brooder about So CO.

floor of the brooder is covered W. IN
newspapers and on top of this about
two inches of clover chan is scatter
ed. On this chGff about two hand
fuls OF chick food is scattered. In
choosing chick feed, see that it con-
tains variety of grains. as sup
posedly on account Of high prices on
some grains, some OF this feed is
netting more than a mixture of
white and yellow cracked corn for
which the consumer is charged 6
cents per pound when corn was sell
ing for $1.35 per buehel.
Before placing the chicks in the
brooder each little bill is dipped
twice into luke warm water. They
are watered at each feeding time.
We never give ice cold water as it
is very likely 70 produce cramps,

brooder chicks all the time they win
often drink themselves to death.
The first feed consists of an egg
which has been hard boiled until II
is crumbly or rolled oats or the two
together make a very nice feed.
In preparing the egg we chop
she'll and all up very fine and are
careful to see that each little chick
gets taste. We alternate the
chopped cgg with oat meal or rolled
oats and give at least one feed daily
of bread and milk until the chicks
are two weeks old. The bread is
soaked in sweet milk and squeezed
dry before feeding. A good plan is
to chop onions and dandelion tops
and mix with the egg a. they are
both good liver tonics. The first
week we feed four times daily and
as they grew older we feed less
chick feed and more cracked corn
and wheat as these grains are both
good food for the growing chick.
In the fall We sometimes feed whole
oat as 1t eIcels in bone and muscle
production, and is the most perfect
ly balanced of all foods. Where
one has no milk animal food should
be supplied in some form.
