Description.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Feeding the farm flock the right kind
of food is important if it is to be Il
paying proposition. If hens do not get
sufficient or proper feed they can not
be expected to give satisfactory and
profitable results. A complicated ra-
ton Is not necessary. The aim in
feeding the hens should be to use. so
far as possible, the grains that are
grown on the farm or that are avail
able In the immediate nelghbOrhood.
One of the most successful methods of
feeding is to give light feet. of grain
or mixture Of grains In the morning
and "a feed OF the same material Mt
night, the night feed consisting of
about as much as the hens will clean
up.
In addition dry mash should he
provided where the hens can have nc
cess to Ii continuously. When con-
siderable quantities of waste food are
available for the hens to pick up from
the fields, the amount OF grain fed
may be cut down. Oftcnt,mes judc-
ment in this respect Is faulty. and but
for the dry mash there would be
danger that the hens would not re-
ceive enough feed. With the dry mash
at their disposal they are able tc make
up any deficiency of feed dl e to faulty
Judgment as to the quantity they get
I'm the fields.
One of the most common mistakes
made In feeding farm poultry is fail
ure to provide animal food in some
form. OF course during the spring
and summer, when quantities of In
sects are available, they may supply

during those parts of the year when
Insects nre not available, or are
scarce, 1t becomes necessary to pro-
vide animal food. Milk. usually fed
either as skim milk or buttermilk. pro-
vides an excellent source of animal
food. hut when milk Is not available
the hens should have beef scraD or
meat scrap. While this product Is
high In price, 1t Is economical and
should be included In the hens ration
because Of the increased production
that will result.
During the winter 1t Is necessary TO
provide some form Of green or succu.
lent feed. such as mnnGels, cabbage,
clover. alfalfa or sprouted oats.

VALUABLE TREE FOR SHADE
Planting Of Japanese Walnut Recon-
mended by Experts Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

The Japanese walnut offers pOSSibili-
ties for landowners who are seeking
to plant nut trees for shade or other
purposes, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
Is nearly rs hardy as the black walnut
and Is by no means uncommon In
northern and eastern states, where 1t
Is especially appropriate for farm and
door-ynrd planting. For the present,
Seeding trees will have to be relied
upon almost entirely, as very few bud
ded or grated trees are available.
This nut has been confused with the
Persian or sO-called English walnut,
although the two are quite unlike. The
Japanese is dwarfish species, with
dull green rough leaflets. often as
many as Is or IT to the leaf, and
bears nuts In racemes of dozen or
more.
The shells are thinner than those
OF the black walnut, but thicker than
those Of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor Of the kernels Is much like
that of the American butternut.
