WINTER FEEDING FOR HENS.

Other conditions being favorable,
good feeding will result in a greater
number of high-priced winter eggs.
Not only will profits be greater,
but n flock will maintain better.
offadassassslsss5asyyA eofaTron error n this
section is to feet grain heavily and
exclusively through the winter. The
result is that the birds get out of
condition or laying or breeding. Such
a program also predisposes to diges-
tive troubles and liver disease.
The idea in winter management is
to approach as nearly as possible to
the conditions of spring, when most
eggs are produced. AT that season.
~succulent plants and animal foods in
the form of insects are plentiful, To
substitute for. these in the winter ra-
ton use mangels or ether roots, cab
bage or sprouted oats and meat scraps
or skimrmilk for the animal food,
Following is a typical ration:
Scratch feed: Corn, 200 pounds;,, bar
ley, 100; oats, 100. Speltz or emmer
may be substituted for barley, and
wheat screenings added to the ration.
Feed the mixture in deep litter night
and morning, In amounts the hens
will clean up, usually 10 to 12,pounds
per 100 hens daily.
100; middlings, 100: meat scrap, 100;
salt, l ounce. Some oil meal or rs
pounds Of sunflower seeds may be
added to the ration.

elusive use of it's members, who han
die 200, 900, 900 bushels of grain an
nually, and that through use of great
financial power, community of stock
ownership, interlocking directorates,

called regular grain exchanges, it is
alleged that members Of the Chamber
of Commerce Of Minneapolis have ac-
quired and now maintain a monopoly
of the grain trade at Minneapolis and
within a radius of n hundred miles

The complaint further shows that
the Equity Cooperative Exchange of
st. Paul, a cooperative association,
with a membership Of approximately
1000 stockholders who are grain
growers in the Northwestern states,
when acting as selling agents for its
stockholders in competition with
members of the Chamber of Com

membership in the grain exchange
conducted by the chamber, and other
.so-called regular grain exchanges"
Charges also are made in the COM
plant that false and misleading
statements with respect to the COM
peting exchange and the cooperative
association and it's financial response

were printed and distributed among
customers Of the competing exchange
and the public generally. It was all
