Everyone in the poultry business
hopes to have eggs throughout the year.
but of course this is scarcely possible.
If the business is gone into on a com-
mercial scale the largest profit should
be obtained during the winter. If just
two eggs a week extra can be OBJ
tanned from every hen n good profit
will be made, while If one egg a week
extra can be recorded in the winter,
this one egg will pay for all the feed
the hen eats, according to the expert
ences of the poultry specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. To obtain this greater produc-
ton not only should the fowls be
young and of a good laying breed. but
the feeder should have a full knowl-
edge Of the proper feed and how to
prepare it. And this can be achieved
only by study and care.
Nutriment in the feed of laying hens
serves a twofold purpose: to repair
waste and supply heat to the body
and provide the egg-making materi-

egg production, the proper feeds
should be given in sufficient quaint
ties to induce this production.
In feeding poultry a valuable lesson
may be learned from nature. In the
spring the production of eggs is an
easy matter. Fowls at liberty 10 roam
find an abundance of green and animal
feed on their range, which, with grain,
provides a perfect ration for laying
hens. In addition to this they get
plenty Of exercise and fresh air. So
Tar us possible, then. the feeder should
try to make these winter conditions
springlike.
Two systems are used In feeding
folws-the dry-mash and the MOIST
mash, although In the dry-mash sys-
tenn Il light-moist mash often Is fed. BY
the term mash" poultrymen mean II
mixture Of ground feed. either moist
or dry. The greatest advantages to
be derived from the dry-feed system
are the saving Of labor and the less
ened danger Of bowel trouble result.

the dry-feed system for laying hens.
as practiced successfully on n New
York poultry farm, the grains fed are
as follows, In the proportions Indicated.
This mixture is scattered in the lit
ter early In the morning, and again ut
about IL 80 a. M. and this induces
abundant exercise. A hopper con-

The hopper containing this mash il
kept before the fowls all OF the time.
Corn is the most popular OF all the
grain feeds for farm poultry, probably
because OF It's abundance and compare

TO MAKE MOVIES
Kansas State Normal Adds Edu-
catiOnaI Film Studio.
VIII Furnish Reels of Canned
Education to State Schools.

Emporia, Kan, April 20.-A motion
picture studio for the making of edu-
cational movies will be installed at
the Kansas State Normal school and
ready for operation by next Septem-
Der, according to Carl w. Salser, di-
Kansas Normal. The studio will be
equipped with special lighting appar-
atus for effective photography and a
motion picture camera.
The studio will be used by instruc-
tors in the Kansas Normal to make
pictures illustrating the subject mat
ter of their courses and the best meth
DDS of procedure in classroom teach
ing" Mr.. Salser explained. 'Such
subjects as history and geography are
being vitalized today by means of
slides, charts and films. We will use
our motion picture equipment to
photograph classes and instructors at
work, showing the best methods of
working. The films will be furnished
to schools thruout the state for their
use in both grade and high school
work. For example, the project meth
|od, the newest procedure in class
work, can be photographed and the
film used to show both teachers and
pupils exactly how project is worked
out
The Kansas Normal has already
built up a visual education service that
regularly supplies educational f1lmS,
slides, charts and stereographs to 100
Kansas communities. These materials
are used in classroom work and in
community programs. The Kansas
Normal is the film distributing center
for the National Bureau of Economics
and for eighteen industrial organiza-
lions that make educational films. The
school has a library of 237 films and
5000 slides. In the past five months
the educational films were shown to
100000 persons in Kansas. mainly to
school pupils. These supplies are dis
tributed free except for the cost of
transportation.

New qualifications for persons en-
tering the State Soldiers Home at
Fort Dodge and the Mother Bicker-
dyke annex at Ellsworth are specified
in the new statutes enacted by the
1921 legislature, now in force.
In repeating the old laws pertain
ing to these qualifications, the new

tanned the age of SO years, and mar
ried to the soldier prior to January

Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos

injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get MuIsified at any
drug store. and a few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
