Poultry-feedng experiments con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, last fiscal year,
show that practically as good results
can he obtained without wheat as with
it in a ration The Rhode Island Reds,
IN the wheatless pen, averaged l4O
eggs, while those in the pen receiving
wheat averaged l34 eggs. Good results
were obtained with the use of garbage
until the warm weather began, when
there was considerable mortality, due
apparently to the garbage spelling.
This work is being repeated this year
with much more satisfactory results,
the garbage being fed in a trough on
Il large wooden feeding board, which
prevents 1t from getting on the ground
and decaying.
In the use of vegetable proteins the
relative order of production is the
same as it was last year. No success
has followed an attempt to substitute
completely vegetable protein for ami
mai protein. The ration used last
year, mash containing only Is per
cent meat scrap as compared with 20
to % per cent in the ordinary mashes,
gave very satisfactory results with the
heavier breeds, especially the Ply
mouth Rocks, in keeping the birds in
good physical condition and fertility,
though the egg yield was not quite
so good as when the higher per cent
of meat scrap was used.
New experiments were begun during
the year with green feeds, comparing
alfalfa meal with sprouted oats and
comparing these rations with one In
which vegetables were supplied. While
none of these green feeds have shown
marked increased production over any
other, the results have emphasized the
importance and value Of that form OF
food when given in variety.

from abroad now present their creden-

who also presides at the big New Year
receptions and other imperial func-

mother, the empress, but usually he
fufills the duties of an emperor un-

In Kyushu and Is said to have taken
an active and intelligent interest In

one of the chief reasons given for the
decision not to extend the princes
