Have You Planted Green Feed For
Your Chickens?
BY Mary c. Haynie


Your Chickens?
Green feeds are very necessary
part of hens ration and should be
supplied to her When confined in
small yards and during the winter
after the frost has killed the vege-
tation. Free range or large yards
kept in grass, alfalfa or clover will
furnish ideal green feed. Where
smaller yards are used, they should
be divided, if possible, into two parts
and used alternately, planting the
vacant yard several times with a
quick-growing crop, such as rape,
oats, wheat, rye or barley. In this
way, green feeds that can be fed, es-
pecially in winter, are sprouted oats,
alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfa, Glow
er hay, cabbge, and mangle beets.
Cabbages can be fed by suspending
them by means of a cord hung
up in the poultry house and the birds
receive some exercise while eating.
The beets are usually split and stuck
, on a nail on the side wall of the
poultry house. When oats are used
for sprouting, they should be of a
good grade. Soak them over night
in warm water and spread out "
, TO l inch thick on trays having per-
forated bottoms. Water the oats
, thoroughly each day and turn the
trays around, so as to bring each side
near the light, in order to encourage
an even growth. Keep the trays
in a tcmperately heated place, and
stir the oats each day until the sprouts
begin to form. Sprouted oats are
from 2 to a inches high. The sod
is removed, broken into chunks, and
fed in troughs or on clean litter.
From one to two square inches for
each hen should be fed at noon.
Why Green and Succulent Feeds
! Are Necessary.
l. Towels need succulence to keep
them in condition and to keep the
digestive tract in working order.
2. 1t acts as tonic and stimulates
the appetite.
3. 1t furnishes large amount of
water and thus adds bulk to the
ration.
4. 1t is undoubtly one of the fact
ors causing egg production.
5. 1t improves the fertility and
Matching qualities of the egg, and
the vitality of the chick.

FAMOUS PHONOGRAPH STAR

Thousands, yes millions no doubt
have heard the monograph records
produced by Ada Jones, but few
have had the opportunity now offer
ed the music lovers of not only hear
ing her voice, but actually seeing her
in person. Probably no singer be-
fore the public has such superb
technique at her control, while her
range Of voice and ease of express
sion are constant delight. Miss
Jones brings with her a brilliant
company OF Lyceum artists, which in
cludes Miss Mabel H. LOOMS,
soprano. Not only is Miss Loomis a
soloist, but also an accompanist of
rare ability, and ensemble player of
merit, possessing that sympathetic
understanding which is so necessary
to make ''two instruments controlled
as by one thought" No concert is
complete without the modern enter
tainer, and Miss Jones has one in
Armstrong, known as '3the man of
mystery" His feats of magic and
amusing anecdotes and series are
always enjoyed. Beth Hamilton is
of he younger school of violinists.
Her work the past season places her
In the front rank. She wins her
audience with her personal charm
and great musical gift.

The month of December again is
here
To US the saddest of the year.
For it was on this December day :
That our dear Stella passed away
For the Lord who gave has called
you
To his will we all must bow
You are free from pain and suffering
Not care can reach you now.
You shall never be forgotten
Never shall your memory fade
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where YOU are
laid.
We do not know the pain you bore
We did not see you die
We o.aly know you passed away
And could not say good-by.
There Is one who still will linger
Near the spot where you are laid
Who will come and scatter flowers
Over the grave that Christ made.

HIS BEST MARKET.

We have stated in previous issues
of Chicago Dairy Produce that the
best argument for a large output of
butter this winter was the fact that
the farmers best market for his
grain was through his cows. Dairy
farmers have been aware of the fact
for sometime, but that the knowl-
edge is becoming more widespread
each day is evidenced by the increas-
ing number of creameries and the
new fields into which the industry is
moving. We note there is no COM
plant from the farmer in dairy sec
tons about prices and hard times
such as are coming from territories
where he farmers give all their at
tention to gain, and dispose or their
products nthe regular market.
The difference between selling
grain on the market and selling it
through the cows in the shape of
milk or butterfat is very close to 100
per cent; in other words, the farmer
can give twice as much for his grain
in selling it as butterfat as he can by
marketing the actual grain.
A table recently prepared by
Wallace's Farmer, the publication
owned by our United States Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, give the relative
values of corn and oats based on the
butterfat price. These figures are
attracting considerable attention and
are generally said to be conservative
with allowance made for cost of
labor and investment. The table
starts with butterfat price of 35c
and on this basis corn is figured at
52e q bushel and oats at 36c a
bushel. With butterfat at 38c the
corn value advances to Size and
oats to 40c. With the butterfat
price at 40e corn value is Gle and
oats value 42c. At 45c for butter
fat the corn value is zoe and oats
value 48c.
Just prior to the Thanksgiving
holiday the butterfat price varied
from 35c to 40c in a considerable
part of the territory but in coopera-
tive districts reached 45c in many
cases and probably higher in some.
On this day cash corn on the
Chicago Board of Trade sold around
Acc Sic, depending on the grade
and cash oats sic to 35c. The farm
er, on cash corn SOC was probably
not realizing over soc; and if he was
getting 40c for butterfat his corn
value, fed through his cows, would
bring him Gle instead of about SOC
per bushel that he could realize by
selling his corn in the market. The
same proprosition holds true for
oats. If he was getting 45c for his
butterfat, the corn value on the but
terfat basis was two and half
times what he could get by selling
his corn in the markets.
In view of these considerations,
and regardless of what the situation
may be in he matter of imports of
butter and weather conditions for
keeping cows, the farmer is going to
find this best market for his grain
and adjust his conditions to take adj
vantage of it.
His cows not only furnish the best
market but a cash market every day
and he is going to milk the cows for
all he can get from Chicago
Dairy Produce.

HELP THOSE WHO CANNOT
HELP THEMSELVES.

1t will take millions to repair the
ravages of war in the stricken places
of Europe but this will be small
matter if everyone will lend hand.
1t sounds as if $14,000,O00 would
be tremendous sum to raise-and
so it is, if to raise it were left to one
section of the country. 1t would
seem as if 100000, the sum that
has been fixed upon as the quota for
Virginia, is a tremendously large
amount, especially in these dull
times. But it will be a small matter
if everyone will lend hand.
Every mickle makes mickle, is a
Scotch saying. Every little bit helps
is an American truism. Do what
you can but lend hand.
There are those who will lend a
hand because of a stern sense of
duty; there are those who will lend a
hand because they deem it a priv
ilege, that is more blessed to give
than to receive. And each in his
way will be right.
1t is duty to help the sick and
suffering and aid them in rebuilding
their old homes, destroyed by war;
to restore a country ravaged with
fire and sword. 1t is duty we owe
humanity.
And pity that does not find ex-
preston in good works is useless.
And those who know it is more
blessed to give than to receive have
their own reward.
So lend a hand.
Do what you can.
Let it not be said that Virginia
was found wanting, lacking in a
sense of duty, in pity, in charity.
Lend a hand.
Appeal has been made to help the
war-tricken people in the devastated
regions of Eastern Europe.
You have been asked to lend a
hand.
The mighty work is something
that cannot be neglected, not only
from humanitarian but from a
practical point of view. 1t will not
do to leave these people to die of
starvation, of typhus; nor hope of
ever again returning to their own
places, from which they have been
driven by fire and sword.
Until they start life anew the
world cannot heal itself Of the
plague of anarchy, Of crime and dis
order.
From business point Of view the
world cannot enter into commercial
relations with Eastern Europe until
order is restored.
America must do its part.
Virginia must do her share.
Everyone mrc. lend a hand. thus
making tie task easy. What would
be hardship for the few is small
matter for the many It really
comes down to a personal matter.
Would you leave to anoher what
you should do yourself? Have you
done your share? If not
Lend hand.
