Guinea Chicks Thrive Best
on Well Balanced Ration

Quineas are fed in much the
same way as chickens. but they re-
quire less feed, as they are natural
rangers and can be trusted to find
enough seeds of weeds and grass
es, buds, insects and green vegeta-
ton in the fields to supply much OF
their living. For the first So hours
after Matching no feed is required,
as the ,sustenance from the egg is
sufficient to nourish them for this
period. The first meal may consist
of a little hard-boiled egg mixed
with bread crumbs, or bread may
be soaked in milk, squeezed partly
dry, and fed in small bits. Clab-
bered milk also is very good, poul-
try specialists in the United States
Department of Agriculture say.
Three times a day is as often as
they need to be fed, one feeding
consisting of clabbered milk or the
bread and egg or bread and milk
mixture. and the other two of chick
feed. If the coop is placed IN a
field or pasture where green feed
is available, the guinea chicks can
secure this for themselves; other
wise. sprouted oats, dandelion
leaves, lettuce, or onion tops cut
fine should be furnished. Water.
grit and fine oyster shell should
be before them always.
Blu the end of the first week the
young guineas viii be finding
enough worms and insects to take
the place of the egg or milk feed.
so this may be eliminated and
| chick feed given morning and
night. If clabbered milk is avail
able, however, it can be continued
| with excellent success. since gum
cas- are very fond of variety in
their ration that it is conducive to
! quick growth. AS the birds grow
| older whole wheat, oats and crack
| ed corn can be substituted grad
ually for the chick feed.

Feeding Laying Hens
BY c. w. CARRICk,
Purdue University, Experiment
Station.

Very few Indiana farm poultry
flocks are properly fed throughout
the year. A ration of corn or other
grains will not produce many eggs.
1t should be supplemented with
mash containing animal protein to
give profitable results.
The Purdue experiment station
has for a number of years carried
on experiments with various ra'
tions for laying hens. The results
have shown very cOnclusively the
value of a mash containing animal
protein. Flocks of white Plymouth
Rock pullets fed on grain products
averaged only As eggs per year
while pullets under similar condi-
tons when given 10 percent meat
scraps in their ration laid an aver
age of 112 eggs per year.
Fowls which laid poorly as pull
lets on a ration without animal pro
tein increased their production
about rs eggs per hen the follow
ing year when fed skim milk in ad
dition to the grain and mash "a
ton.
Farm hens pick up only a small
percentage of feed necessary for
maximum egg production. Worm;
and bugs do not supply the need il
sufficient quantity The necessar!
feeds must be supplied the yeal
round to realize the greatest profit
A satisfactory ration used anC
recommended by Purdue is as fol
lows:
Grain-Corn, IS pounds; oats,
pounds; total. % pounds.
Mash-Bran, pounds; shorts,
pounds; tankAge, pounds; total l;
pounds.
If skim milk or buttermilk cal
be fed at the rate of a gallon dali.
: to 80 hens then tankage need no
be supplied since this amount o
! milk furnishes the necessar,
| amount of protein.
The methods of feeding the Pun
due ration are fully explained il
| Circular 101, which can be secures
from the Purdue experiment sta
ton for the asking.

Soybeans to Give MANY
Farmers a Legume Crop

The acreage of legumes in Indi-
ana is short. There will not be
enough clover this next year to
satisfy the amount of legume hay
needed. Some clover NAV winter
kill. -Soybeans are filling this
place. says W. A. Ostrander of the
soils and crops staff of Purdue uni
Yersity
SOybeans can be seeded for hay
the fore part of May at the rate of
one TO one and one-half bushels
per acre with wheat drill, and on
the average from two to four tons
of hay can be cut the latter part
of August, when the beans are half
formed. This hay has a feeding
value equal to alfalfa. The cost of
seeding soybeans per acre this
year will not be more than seeding
clover per acre. This will give an
opportunity to put some ground in
to a legume that will help to hold
the nitrogen supply.
Results of Purdue experimental
work show that wheat planted on
soybean stubble ground yields
about One-fOurth more than if sown
following corn. All corn that is
going to be hogged-off should have
sOybeans planted with it at the rate
of from one bushel on eight to fiji
teen acres, or from one to two
beans to the hill of corn, or about
II to IS inches apart in the row
Soybeans to supplement corn silage
are always good.
Four oil mills are now contra ct.
ing for soybean seed to press fol-
oil. This will give soybeans a com
mercial value other than for seed
the coming season, and one may
expect the same number of bush
els of soybeans per acre as wheat
on the same type of ground, and i
seeded with a wheat drill will cost
no more per acre to produce. ant
could afford to be sold near thu
price of wheat. Soybeans this yea
will command the attention of ev
cry business farmer in Indiana.

PUT POULTRY YARD TO WORK

Figure on seeding down any
poultry yards or runs not in per
manent sod. Rye, winter oats and
winter wheat are good crops for
poultry yards.

IF you are suffering from eczema or
some other torturing, embarrassing
skin trouble you may quickly be rid of
it by using Mentho-Sulphur, declares
q noted skin specialist.
This sulphur preparation, because of
its germ destroying properties, seldom
fails to quickly subdue itching. even
of fiery eczema. The first application

none can deny the constant increase
in our population. They do not sug-
gest where those staple foods are TO
come from, or why other nations
should be more able to produce them
than we ourselves. The answer is
intensive cultivation, something that
Europe learned long ago. We must
keep up the fertility of our soil, as the
increase in farm lands or tllable areas
will not go on as in the past; there
is less of such areas TO borrow for
expansion now. The implication is
that We shall need more fertilizer in
the future and that its use will be
much more general under the pressure
of increasing population.
