Highly interesting Is the coincidence
that the largest human consumer OF
food In the world should be Russian,

distressed country, he is announced as

EXERCISE GIZZARD MUSCLES
by Poultryman--Time Of
Feeding Will Vary.
copyrshs Iaaa By the Meclure Newspaper

Many of the most successful poultry
men feed a part of the daily grain ra-
ton ground. Many of these feed the
ground grain moistened with milk or
water, although more feed 1t dry. A
fowls glzzard can grind all kinds of
grain, but it is considered more eco
nomical to have part Of the grind
ing done by steam or water power.
However, the soft-feed idea should
not be overworked. Beginners often
reason it is cheaper for the miller than
for the fowl to grind the grain; but
the powerful muscles of the gizzard are
there to be used, and experience has
shown the balance Of power of func-
lions in the fowls economy makes the
vigorous exercise of the gizzard bene-
fetal. When feeding moistened ground
feed, have 1t comparatively dry,
crumbly mash, and not thin slop.
Give what they will eat readily in Is
to 20 minutes.
Poultrymen do not agree as to the
time of day when soft feed should be
fed. Some say it should be fed in
the morning, others at noon, and still
OTHERS at night. Many give the ground
feed In the morning, large number
at noon, and few at night. The
number who feed at noon, however,
is becoming larger. In the egg-laying
experiment in West Virginia report
ed to the United States Department
of Agriculture, the egg production was
practically the same whether mash
was fed in the morning or at night.

In life. So when he became convinced
that he was not getting it from mem

farmer to bring the attractions of

home, into his own desolated farm
house, and to his own freside. If
he will seize the opportunity, fill his

make his home attractive, bright,
cheerful magnetic, and fascinating,
he will keep his boys and girls

This is the day Of the farm if the
farmer will only realize it. This is
the hour when the farm ought to be
the most attractive spot in the coun-
try; this is the moment when the
farmhouse ought to ring with music,
an d the barnyard ought to be the
convention hall of agricultural and
political activity. The farmer should
make his son the leader in that con-
vention and teach him how to mould
public opinion and direct legisla-
ton.
Let the farmer learn how to be
generous and kind to his children
and to keep them in the atfnos-
.phere of agricultural purity, peace
and prosperity.

TESTS PROVE VALUE OF
TELEPHONE TO FARMER

What is the telephone worth to the
farmer? Results of an investigation,
based upon the saving of time and
Transportation costs effected by three
average farmers in doing their bust
ness by wire instead of making per-
sonal trips to transact their business,
have recently received by the South
western Bell Telephone Company. The
survey sheds an interesting sidelight
on this problem, which is of interest
to residents Of agricultural communi-
ties.
In order to determine the saving,
the Low figure of five cents a male
was allowed for the farmers time and
the cost of transportation if he were
to attempt to do personally the busi-
ness transacted by telephone in the
course of month.
The first subscriber, farming IssD
acres, had thirty-nine calls in thirty
days which would have necessitated
travelling 1853 miles if he had made
the trip in person. At five cents a
mile, this would have cost $7.65. The
second subscriber who famed $40
acres, made seventy business calls,
which Were equivalent to personal
trips aggregating PIG miles. The USE
'ef-lthe telephone effected aTsaving OF
$10.S0. The third farmer, who worked
906 acres, had ninety-one calls dur
ing the month, equaling 444 miles of
travel, which would have cost Sped.
