Vitamins Essential for
Laying Hens in Winter

That green feeds are of great i'm
p~Ortance in the ratiOns for laying
hens is shown by the results of an ex-
pertinent conducted by the University
of Idaho poultry farm.
A lack of vitamin fat-soluble A in
the ration was found to cause dis
ease resembling rOup. The eyes be-
came swollen, the thrOats became full
of small yellow patches, and post-mor-
TEN examinations showed a deposit of
white material resembling powder on
the liver and kidneys. Ten birds out
of twenty-five died in one pen from
this trouble. In an adjoining pen re-
ceiving cod liver oil, lone died from
this disease. Cod liver oil is an excel
lent sOurce of vitamin A. However,
cod liver oil cannot be recommended
as poultry feed. II Is necessary TO fur
nish the birds feed containing this i'm
pOrtant vitamin. If maximum results
are to be obtained. Alfalfa, peameal,
lettuce, cabbage and spinach are all
high in this vitamin. Besides, chard,
dandelion green's. carrots and clover
cuttings are good green feeds for main
tanning the health Of the flock during
the winter months.

Cloth Coverings Good

Is Conducted to Surface.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Asriculture.)
Coverings of rather heavy cloth laid
directly over garden truck or other
low-growing plants are effective in pro-
tecting against moderate ~frosts, the
United States Department of Agricul'
ture reports. The heat from the ground
and the plants is thus conserved, and
the losses of heat by radiation from
the plant to the sky are u off more
over, the air movement is so slight
near the ground that there is little
tendency for the cold outside air TO be
forced under or through the covering.
The temperature Of the surface of
the cloth exposed to the sky is lowered
by radiation and may fall to a low
point, but as both the cloth itself and
the air underneath II are very poor
conductors Of heat, the temperature of
the covered plants falls much more
slowly. The heat that has penetrated
a few inches into the ground during
the day is slowly conducted to the
surface during the night and aids In
keeping the temperature under the
" above the freezing point.
1t Is evident, therefore, that cover
lngs of this kind should be placed
early in the evening when a frost is
expected, before much of the neat ac-
cumulated in the soil during the dav
has been lost. Tin cans or other metal
coverings should not be used to protect
plants from frost. Metals are good
conductors of heat and are also good
radiators unless very highly polished.
Therefore the temperature is likely TO
fall nearly as low under a covering of
this kind as in the outside air.

THAD WINDSOR BADLY
INJURED in ACCIDENT

Thad Windsor, proprietor of the
New Windsor Hotel in Milford, was
painfully injured on Saturday after
noon last when a large limb of a
tree fell on him. Mr.. Windsor at the
time of the accident was assisting
Workmen employed in construction
work on the new home of Senator L.
d. Short on Lake avenue, to remove
a large limb from an elm tree in
front of the property. The limb
would weigh approximately 1900 lbs.
Mr.. Windsor had tied a rope to the
limb and carried the rope across the
crutch of the tree. The other end of
the rope he had tied about his body
to aid him in holding the limb when
it started to fall. When cut loose,
however, the heavy wood pulled
Windsor toward the tree. The limb
swung toward the tree also and both
met with a terrific impact. Mr.. Wind
sor was knocked back and fell un-
der the limb. His leg was broken in
two places. Both bones were snap
ped in a clean break about six inches
above the ankle. He was taken to the
Marshall Hospital in the Milford
Hospital ambulance. The
fractures were reduced and the pa
lent made as comfortable as pOssi- |
de. Persons who witnessed the ac-
'ident say that it is a mystery to |
hem that Thad was not killed out |

MILFORD TRUST COMPANY
HAS BIG BUSINESS YEAR

The Milford Trust Company closed
the first six months business of the
current year, with S1,01O,897.58 of
individual deposits. After paying $50
as a semi-annual dividend, $34,148. So
was passed to the undivided profits
account; making with the present
capital and surplus a total of more
than 100000.
The statement of this company is
printed in another column of this
paper, which is made in response to
the stated call of the Delaware
Banking Commissioner. The indi-
vidual deposit of more than one mil
lion, speaks for the prosperity of
the people of the district from which
this bank draws it's business. There
is an absolute certainty that this
part of Delaware has much wealth
and that the swindle of
two years ago, when the Dollings
Company absorbed large blocks of
cash from those who were anxious
to get larger returns than the legal
rate of interest, as recognized as
good business policies, has made no
effect on business in or
about Milford.
