Velva Journal: Gust Toble Of
Federal Dam, Mimi, has been ap-
pointed jailer at Towner by Sheriff
Colby. We were under the impress
sion that there were plenty of qualified
men in the county for this job with
out going to Minnesota for a. man.
The Journal doubts if this appoint
ment will meet with favor among tax
payers.
Ole Gilbertson, prominent farm
err living near Towner, has been ap-
pointed permanent receiver of the
First National Bank of Towner, clos
ed some months ago by the national
bank examiner. The bank will be
liquidated as quickly as possible and
the depositors paid off as far as the
money will go. From present indi-
cations the depositors will have to
stand considerable loss.

State Banks Must Get Reserves Up
The state bank examiner has sent
out letters to all state banks instruct
ing them to bring their reserves up
to the level provided by law within
80 days. This may compel bankers
to insist on farmers holding their
grain to sell and settle with the banks.

BE CONSIDERED FIRST

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE offer
made by Henry Ford for the Muscle
Shoals, Ala, nitrate and water-power
projects, which will be explained to
Secretary Weeks Friday by the De-

HENS AND PULLETS
Discusses Relative Values as Basis
of Laying Flock.


Clemson College, Nov. 14.-"1n
the poultry industry there is phase
OF the work which is rarely under
stood by keepers Of farm focks and
beginners, and that is the relative
value of hens and pullets as basis
for the selection, establishment, and
maintenance of a profitable laying
flock," says N. R. Mehrhof, Exten-
sion poultry specialist, who esti-
mates that on the farm flocks
throughout the country about one
half of the laying stock consists of
hens.
Why are so many hens kept on
the farm? The profit from flock
of birds can be measured by its pro-
.duction. One of the important prob
lens that the poultryman has to
deal with is how to get the largest
number of eggs from his flock. How
can he do this? By, selecting pullets
to comprise about two-thirds of his
entire flock rather than by having a
majority of hens. Statistics show
that pullets lay about 80 eggs more
per year than hens. This is true for
both the heavy and the light breeds.
The net profit therefore is in favor
of the pullets. They lay more eggs
in the fall and winter when the
prices are high, and so tend further
to increase the profit. During the
pullet year an estimated profit above
feed of $3.50 per bird is netted,
while for the hen year a profit of
$2.52 per bird is netted.
Why then keep large flock of
birds which will decrease the profits
rather than increase them? Keep
more pullets and fewer hens in the
flock. 1t pays and means better re-
suits all round.

Hens that devote too much atten'
ton early in the season to the fall
STYLES in feathers are not the kind
that please the flock owner. 1t costs
too much to support them and they
demand too long vacation period
But the hen that wears her old
clothes until autumn has almost
passed is the best of the flock, for
she has kept on laying since the pre-
yious fall or winter. So now when
YOU see a bird that looks shabbier
than the others, do not conclude that
her smartly dressed sisters are the
ones to keep.
! Of course some of the hens that
molted earlier, saying August and
September, are profitable enough to
keep, but the cream of the flock is
made up of hens that do not cnange
their feathers until October or No.
vember. Their molting will require
only a few weeks and they will prob
ably be laying again by the 1st Of
January. The poor ones, the early
molting loafers, will not begin until
about this time, even though they
have been resting since the middle of
The summer. It takes one about two
months<and the other twice that
long to get back into production.
a, The poultry keeper who has an
s;eye for business will not neglect
this worn-looking late layer, for she
us the best profit maker he has. She
needs a highly nutritious. ration if
she is to be in the best condition to
start on another year Of high pro-
duction. When she quits laying and
starts to molt she has as much need
for a ration strong in protein as she
has when she is shelling out the eggs,
as feathers are highly nitrogenous
in their makeup. They use the ma
terials supplied by beef scrap, gluten
feed, and oil meal. The oil meal is
very effective in keeping the feathers
in healthy, glossy condition.
Hens that lay eggs late in the fall
and in the winter are really produc7
ing an out-of-season crop, for it is
NORMAL for the hen to lay for time
IN the spring and early summer and
then rest for the remainder of the
year. Profitable hens are really those
that have the capacity to force their
egg,making machinery, but they
must have the right sort of feed with
which to do it. That means feeding
.well-balanced rations designed for
the particular breed. A balanced ra-
ton is combination of feeds which
furnish just the necessary amount
of nutrients to produce the highest
and most economical egg yields. The
amount Of feed needed to produce
dozen of eggs varies with the kind
Of birds. According to experiments
conducted by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture general
purpose pullets produced dozen
eggs from 6.7 pounds of feed, and
Leghorn pullets laid the same num-
ber from 4.8 pounds.

STARTING THE LAYERS
ON WINTER EGG CAMPAIGN

Simple mixtures are usually the
most desirable. As the fall advances
and the days grow shorter the birds
should be encouraged to put away
as much feed as possible during the
day so that their bodies will have
plenty to work on for all of the "a
hours. A good handfdull of scratch
grain for each bird at night will fill
the crop. 1t is not desirable that the
hens be made to work very hard for
this feed. Be sure that the hens 60
to roost with a full crop.
In making up rations it is neces-
sary to adhere to standards within
certain limits, but some feeds may
be substituted for others, as barley,
wheat, and oats for corn. However,
meat scrap and other animal-pro-
tein feeds can not be replaced by
high-vegetable- protein feeds. All
changes should be made gradually,
as sudden changes may decrease egg
production.
A great many poultry1nen and
livestock feeders now believe that
if the animal has a free choice it
will select the ration that is most
suitable. At the Government farm
at Beltsville, Nd, the following mash
was made up by keeping account of
the amounts of the different feeds a
laying flock consumed:
Mash-16 pounds Of corn meal, 6
1-2 pounds meat scrap, 1 pound,
middlings.
Scratch mixture pound crack
ed corn, 1 pound wheat, 1 pound
oats.
Here is simple ration that has
given very good results with Leg
horns, but that has proved too fat
tening for Rocks and Wyandottes.
Meat scrap, it will be seen, makes
up over rs per cent Of the mash
Mash-3 pounds corn meal, l.
pound meat scrap.
Scratch mixture-2 pounds crack
ed corn, pound oats. ..
For birds that are made too fat by
the preceding ration, the following,
containing only 16 per cent of meat
scrap but having considerable pro-
tein in other feeds, has been found
good one.
Mash pound corn meal, l
pound bran, 1 pound meat scrap, l
pound middlings, pound ground
oats.
Scratch mixture-2 pounds crack
ed corn, pound wheat, 1 pound
oats, 1 pound barley.
Poultrymen resort to every pos
sible means to get their hens to eat
great deal of feed, especially in
the winter when the days are short.
One way is to cut the morning
scratch feed to about half. The hun
cry bird then goes to the mash
trough and gorges on the dry mash.
Then to increase the consumption of
mash some of it is fed wet at noon
and the hens will eat it when they
would take no more of it dry.

DECORATIONS FOR THE HAIR
ments Fastened to Velvet, Bronze
Articles Afford Good Effect.

Color contrast is good rule for
making the headdress becoming. Black
hair is set off with gold ribbon or
braid, while auburn locks are stun
ming with jet ornaments fastened to a
velvet bandeau. Bronze ornaments are
likewise stunning for the titan toned
coiffure. Bronze paint will quickly
coat all sorts of appropriate orna-
ments to make headdress, such as
howers. leaves. grasses, jewelry and
feathers. A silver wreath Of small
nowers or just plain leaves is lovely
on black hair. Golden hair is beauti-
ful with rale-green turquoise or Dres-
Den effects in ribbon ornaments. Tur-
quoise velvet caught with sparkling
rhinestone slides Is another sugges-
tion for hair ornamentation.

BOBBY WANTED THAT AGATE
If Persistency Could Have Got II for
Him, We Must Admit He
Deserved It,

The older boys were playing mar
blcs. Three -year-old Bobby wished
some agatc> like his brother had and
asked father for two cents to buy one
with. The money was given to him
and he Immediately wished to 90 to
the store To make the purchase. So
persistent did he become that father
said:
'If you don't keep still about that
agate | will take those pennies away
from YOU
what will YOU do with the pennies
if You take them away?' he asked.
"Why, I'll put them back in my
purse
"Will YOU take them uptown when
you 60 to the office?'
"Yes; Will"
After a few moments reflection,
Bobby came back with:
And will YOU buy me an agate with
them?
