FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS

FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS
In order to secure winter egg.pro
duction IL is ABSOLUTELY NECES-
SARY THAT THE HENS BE PROP
ERIY FED. Fully thrce-fou~ths ot
the Kentucky hens do not produce
their maximum because they do not
get the prope- feed to make eggs
II they are fed only a grain ration
they should not be expected to pro-
duce winter eggs. In addition to the
Grain a dry mash mixture containing
AZ animal product such as meat scrap
fish meal. dried butte-m TX, meat
meal, or a high grade Of tankage,
added to the mill feeds must be FED.
Feeding Suggestions
IL should be remembered that 20
one ration will fit all conditions. The
cbeapness and availability of the
feeds should be considered. Ready
mixed poultry mashes are very salts
fsctory, and, if readily available AMI
not too high priced, may be fed.
IL corn and cornmeal are the only
available feed, dry mash of three
ports cornmeal ard two parts mea:
scraps should be fed with the whole
o, cracked corn. In this case the
birds should be made to consume
twice as much grain as mash by
weight.
Feeding should be done at regular
hours, preferably twice a day, once
in the morning and once in the eve
ming.
Keep the water pans clean and
filled with pure, fresh water.
IL skim milk is fed, avoid changing
from sweet to sour, or the reverse.
1t is best to feed sour milk continu
ously.
While the appetite should always
he kept keen, nevertheless the birds
should be fed all they want to eat.
Feeding is but one Of the four es-
scntial means of securing high egg
production. The other three arc.
pure-bred birds Of a high-laying
st, ain; strong, vigorous and healthy
birds; and a comfortable house with
plenty of room for exercise. From
this it may be seen that correct
feeding alone cannot give maximum
cgg-production.
Necessity of Meat Feed
The fact that meat feed is es-
sential is clearly brought out by an
experiment covering a period of
twelve month, conducted at the Ken
lucky Experiment Station Poultry
Farm.
Thirty S. C. White Leghorn pull
lets were divided into two pens Of
10 each, both pens receiving the same
grain ration. Pen 1 received mash
of equal parts cornmeal, bran, mid
dl.ngs, ground oats and meat meal.
while pen received the same mash
without the meat meal. Pen 2 av-
eraged but 23.6 eggs per bird for
the yea, while the meat meal pen
averaged 124.2 eggs per bird, show
ing that the addition of meat meal
to the mash increased the egg-pro-
duction about five times. Tankage,
which is widely used in hog feeding,
will produce equally as good results
az meat meal.
II sour skim milk or buttermilk is
readily available, it may be fed in
place Of the meat scrap, in which
case it should be kept before the
birds in pans or pals, instead of
drinking water.
To get the best results, 80 hens
should drink about a gallon Of milk
day. If that amount cannot be Sc
cured, or the birds will not drink
that much, a small percentage Of
meat scrap should be added to the
mash.

not plant more than two or three OF
them, they will make wonderful change
in the appearance of the place. In ad-
dition to these, if the grounds around the
house are not too limited in size, some
good, fairly fast growing American trees
like the Elm, Maple, Beach, Birch, OF
American Linden, will form the foun-
dation for future charm and added value
to the place.
In selecting a location for any of these,
it should be kept in mind that while
they may be small-6 to 10 #. high
when you get them-they will eventually
need plenty of room. Do not set them
too near the house or driveways or
walks.
Second, plant around the base of the
house.
This does not mean that the entire
foundation should be covered from
sight. It is generally a mistake to do
that. But use few Towering shrubs of
dropping, graceful habit, such as Golden
Bell, Spireas, Deutizias, etc.; or some
dwarf growing evergreens. These, group
ed on either side of the main entrance, or
in front of the porch, with some taller
growing shrubs like Dogwood, Butterfly
Bush, or Lilacs at or near the corners,
will be sufficient. The difference which
even a dozen shrubs, when used in this
way, will make in the appearance of
house is almost unbelievable.
Thirdly if you wish to use still more
shrubs, plant around the edges or bor-
ders of the place.
Shrubs grow naturally quite close to-
gether, so close, in fact, that they touch
each other, and a border of shrubs
along the sides of the yard, or around
the edges of the lawn, is always~sat-
tractive. But single shrubs spotted here
and there over the lawn, are almost
worse than none at ALTO say nothing
of the fact that it is an almost endless
task to keep the grass looking neat
around them.
These three very simple rules are
safe guide to follow in making plans for
such planting as you may do next
spring. More detailed information about
the different kinds of shrubs, plants and
flowers viii be given in the following ar
ticles on this page.
But keep in mind that the most impor-
tant thing is to make your plan now.

Results Accomplished By
Supervision Of Schools
Report of the State Board of Education of the North Sussex
Supervisory District-Submitted by Edith Barger

thru grades to 8 was heard individu-
ally with comments and suggestions
regarding effort to be made for
improvement. The proper reading
books were given to help in more flu
ent and expressive work. Believing
that extensive rather than intensive
reading makes more intelligent read
ers the children were supplied with
cOpious material which they might
read with ease and enjoyment. The
teachers were urged to exchange
books with as many schools as poss-
ible in order that each grade might
have access to several books during
the year instead of one reader in each
grade as has been the custom in most
of the schools prior to this. Since
there are between Z and 8 thousand
children in the grades of Sussex cOun-
ty schools, the work necessitated the
individual study of several thousand
children and required six to eight
weeks of the supervisors time.
The second round of visits was de-
voted to the dramatizatiOn of the
reading lessons to test the children
in their Interpretation of the thought.
To many teachers as well as to all
children the drama in school was an
innovation. Were it not for the innate
desire in every PERSONS soul to ex-
press himself in the art Of music, the
dance, the drama, dexterous hand
work or rhythmic Interpretation of
some form, much Of this time would
have been i'll spent. Inasmuch as this
activity, growing out of the need Of
this form Of expression, developed the
power to create new ideas, the re-
sponse was a revelation. Many Of the
classes are now dramatizing reading
or English lessons with ease and
pleasure. Programs presented before
parents and friends are now replete
with this form of expression, develop
ed in the regular school work.
Out of the need of more reading
grew the idea of system Of circulat-
ing sets Of books. This year the choi-
cest children's literature was selected
and Mr.. Adams, the business manager,
was prevailed upon to purchase sup
Elementary books to compile 80 sets
which circulate from school to school,
giving fresh reading material every
two weeks and aflording for boys and

sire for good reading. It is hoped that
each book will be preserved so that at
least IS or 100 children will have ac-
cess to- it. The books will at some
time be divided among the schools
that are endeavoring to comply with
the request of the State Board of Ed
ucation to have reference libraries in
each district, thereby insuring the
maximum of good that may accrue
from the use of them.

I have often tried to figure out, for my
own satisfaction, why so many good

exclaim over an attractively planted
place. People whom knew owned houses
costing considerably more than the ones
they were stopping to admire. They
themselves could have had places Just
as beautiful, and they would have appre-

Why then, did they fail to provide
beautiful homes for themselves?
The Secret of Getting An Attractive
Home
I am satisfied, after many years of in
innate contact with this problem, that
the reason is a very simple one.
It is merely that most folks do not
learn that the secret of getting an at
tractive planting about their homes is
to plan in advance of the planting. sea-
son.
When spring comes and the planting
fever" is in the air, they would like to
plant something-to join Nature in maxi
ing the old world, and particularly their
little nook of it, more beautiful. But,
having no plans, and not having provid-
ed for anything to plant in advance, they
do not know which way to turn or what
to put in, and by the time they have
