compelling all citizens within the sani-
tary sewer district to conect with the

licences unconnected than there are con-
nected with the sewer mains.
The ordinance provides for a fine az
not TO exceed 5000 for failure 70 connect
with the sewer IN the 90 day limit
which the ordinance provides. Although
a provision Of the ordinance applies 10

which $4,000 has been raised IN bonds.

at Beltsville, Md, 30 hens on a ration
without meat scrap or any animal feed
averaged "A eggs each. Another flock
of 80 hens Of the same breed during
the same period laid an average of 113
eggs each, the difference of 80 eggs be-
ing attributed to the ration which con-
tanned meat scrap. Both flocks were
out on range whenever the weather
was favorable. which made the diff
ference less than 1t would have been
had the birds been kept in pens. In
q test made by Purdue university agri-
cultural experiment station animal
feeds were shown to have a decided
value in the ration of laying hens and
pullets. The pullets fed skim milk
averaged 1902 eggs in a year; those
fed meat scrap, 1859 eggs, and those
in the check pen that received no an
imal feed Of any kind laid an average
Of only 61.2 eggs.
1t has been shown that 1t is impos-
sible to judge the value OF hen as

that would give her an opportunity
to demonstrate her capacity. Pullets
