FEED LAYING HENS
IN COLD WEATHER

In feeding laying hens, only one
half to one-third as much Of the
scratch feed should be fed In the
morning as In the evening, according
to the instructions accompanying
list OF rations for laying hens recent.
ly compiled by T. A. Bittenbender Of
the poultry husbandry department.
Iowa State college.
He states that the mash feeds
should be left before the birds at ali
times 1t should be fed in self-feed-
ing hoppers. 1t has been found that
mash moistened with hot water or
buttermilk fed in the middle of the
morning will increase the egg pro
duction noticeably during the winter
months.
The green feed should be fed at
noon or soon after. Sprouted oats,
steamed alfalfa leaves, cabbage, beets,
mangles or small amount of fresh
silage will answer the purpose. Green
feeds and mash are very essential, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Bittenbender, for the
highest possible production of eggs
during the winter months.
Some scratch formulate which Mr..
Bittenbender recommends are as fol-
lows: 200 pounds of corn to 100
pounds of oats; or 200 pounds of corn,
200 pounds of wheat and 100 pounds
of oats. For mash formula the fol-
lowing is recommended: 100 pounds
bran, 100 pounds middlings or shorts,
100 pounds ground oats, 100 pounds
ground corn, so pounds tankage, 5
pounds salt, 20 pounds bone meal and
20 pounds Of ground limestone. To
this as much liquid buttermilk, sour
skim milk or paste buttermilk as the
birds will consume should be added.
Forty pounds of dried buttermilk can
be substituted for the liquid milk.

Early Diagnosis of Hog
Cholera Very Important

Early diagnosis is one of the most
important steps in the control of hog
cholera, which has developed on many
farms in Minnesota this year. Re
sponsibility of proper diagnosis and
the method of procedure to follow,
lie with the veterinarian, who should
be called as soon as the pigs appear
to be sick.
Emphasizing the Importance Of a
correct diagnosis, DR.. III. G. II. Kern
kamp of the division of veterinary
medicine, University of Minnesota, says
that il hog cholera serum were to be
used on swine suffering from some
disease other than cholera results
would be discouraging.
"In outbreaks Of cholera anti.
cholera serum cannot be used too
soon," he says. Serum is not a cure,
but it may be given in large doses to
swine in the early stages of the dis
order. Even if only a few hogs are
saved, the serum will pay for itself"

Proper Feed Will Make
Vigorous Litter of Pigs

The greater the number of pigs
raised per sow the less the cost per
pig. 4 The unborn pig is built quite
largely of protein, hence the neces-
sity of feeding plenty of protein to
the sow from breeding to narrowing
time in order that she may produce
large, strong, thrifty, vigorous litter,
say live stock authorities at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. The
brood SOW should have either one-half
pound Of tankage, one pound of lin
seed oil meal, one pound of soy beans
or one gallon of skim milk or butter
milk per day to furnish the needed
protein, they advise.

FARM #
s DIX -
SILAGE VALUABLE
AS CATTLE FEED

Farmers usually regard silage as
dairy necessity, but few of them real
lie how valuable it is when properly
combined with other feeds in fatten-
ing steers.
Indiana experiment station gave
some interesting facts about silage In
this connection as part of their Inter
national show exhibit. They compared
the economy and efficiency of stand
ard ration with and without silage.
The feed required TO fatten car
load of 20 two-year-old steers amount
ed to As tons of cottonseed meal, 43
tons Of silage, 752 bushels of corn,
and five tons of clover hay.
The land required TO grow this feed
was Is acres of corn grain, "a acres
of silage corn, and two and a half
acres Of clover hay. This was total
acreage of 22.9 acres. Without silage,
it took % acres of farm-grown feed,
made up of 10 acres of corn grain and
nine acres of clover
Feed to make each pound Of gain
amounted to Sc pounds corn, 1-3
pounds clover hay, 1.3 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and Ills pounds Of
silage. The profit was reckoned along
with hogs following the steers. For
the car lot using silage the profit was
1898, and for the car lot fed no silage
the profit was 5000.
Cottonseed meal increases the finish
and selling value of steers, while the
silage used in the ration cheapens the
cost of production. Less land is re-
quired to produce feed for a car lot
Of steers when silage is fed.

THE LUNCHEON CLUB
By THOMAS ARkLE CLARK

a MONG the many evils for whose
origin or development the late
war will be held responsible when the
great day of reckoning comes and the
unprejudiced history of that great
struggle is written up, is the luncheon
club. 1t was, perhaps, necessity in
those days, like the eating of substi-
tutes for bread or the doing without
sugar, but when the reason for its
existence disappeared it persisted like
the buttons on the back of frock
coat which still remain even though
we have no sword to attach to our
selves, and have left far behind us the
days of chfvalry.
There was cause for regular meet
ing in those hectic days of the war,
and the noon hour seemed to make
less drain upon busy mans ener-
gies than any other hour. Men learned
to come promptly, to speak briefly,
and to make plans and get business
done I'm an amazingly brief space Of
time The luncheon club proved a
great institution, and met admirably
a new and a critical situation.
Burton, like Babbitt, was a man Of
prominence whose time was taken up
with big business. Naturally he be-
came a victim of the luncheon club.
He might quite appropriately be said
to have been afflicted with a severe
and chronic case Of luncheonitis. He
served his country well and persist
emily, and in so doing developed a
chronic case of indigestion.
The prominent men in the particu-
lar business organization to which he
belonged met together at the business
mems club on Monday. the chamber Of
commerce were fed by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church on Tuesday,
the Rotary club had its weekly talk
fest at the Park hotel on Wednesday,
and he generally played golf on Thurs
day, and on that day had luncheon at
the country club. There was ordi-
narily some business of Importance to
be transacted at each of these meet

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
ONE CAUSE FOR SLEEPING
SICKNESS
&C. 1925, Western Newspaper Union,)

TOR number of years past the
newspapers have occasionally re-
ported either epidemics of sleeping
sickness" or individual cases in which
a patient has slept continuously or
almost continuously for days or even
weeks at time. The average reader
has probably connected this name
with what he has read of some
strange disease in the tropics and has
wondered if some new and strange
bug has invaded this country.
The sleeping sickness" which occa-
sionally occurs in this country is
something entirely different and dis
tinet from the tropical disease, the
true sleeping sickness, which so far
as known has never appeared in the
United States. The so-called sleeping
sickness reported in our papers is
really form of meningitis or intiam-
nation of the membrane covering
the brain, only in this form the most
prominent symptom is drowsiness or
even deep sleep continued over long
period of time.
The cause of this peculiar form OF
meningitis is not clearly known. In
an article in recent issue of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation. DR.. William Browning, u
well-known nerve specialist of Brook
lyn, makes an interesting suggestion
as to its cause
Doctor Browning has for many
years given careful attention TO the
amount of sleep his patients were
getting. In attending a number Of
cases of sleeping sickness. he was i'm
pressed with the fact that most Of
those who contracted this disease had
been exhausted from overwOrk and
fatigue and especially had gone with
out sufficient sleep. Further observa-
ton increased the belief that INSULT
Gent sleep was one of the principal
causes for this strange disease.
In his paper he presents twenty
eight cases of sleeping sickness, each
one of which followed long periods Of
short allowance of sleep. One boy Of
eighteen was staying out night after
night with a crowd of associates. A
man of fifty-fve, while never out eve
nings, "sat up until all hours" with a
new radio. high school boy, am
bilious TO stand at the head of his
class, studied until midnight every
night and got up at six o'clock. A
clerk, who was trying to educate him
self, rose at 6 a. M, never got home
until eight or nine o'clock at night
and then read until a. m Physi-
clans and nurses who naturally lose
much sleep are particularly subject
to this disease.
The body needs certain amount Of
rest. You can cheat it for a long
time but in the end you'll pay.

PREVENTING DEAFNESS

THE only way we can learn about
i the world outside ourselves is
through our five senses. All our
knowledge comes to us through feel
ing, smelling, tasting, hearing and see
ing. These are all forms of feeling,
working through our special sense or
gans, the skin, the nose, the tongue,
the eyes and the ears We need all
of them and the more keen and sensi-
tive they are the more easily we train
our minds to perform all of lifes
functions.
Every one agrees that Of these five
senses, hearing and seeing are the
most important and valuable. Sight
is the most important of all but hear
ing is nearly as important The deaf
person loses almost as much as the
blind.
Naturally, the more delicate and
sensitive the sense, the more compli-
Gated the sense organ. The ear is one
of the finest and most delicate pieces
of machinery in the body. In order
to protect it from harm nature has
wisely placed it deep in bony case
where it Is protected from injury.
So long as the ear drum Is unin-
jured the inner part of the ear is pro-
tected from infection from without, as
this little membrane closes the canal
and keeps out any infected material.
But the eustachian canal, the little
tube running from the middle ear to
the back Of the throat, Is open and up
this little tube often passes infected
material which causes serious infiam-
nation in the ear.
For this reason adenoids in the
throat discharges from the nose or
any form of throat infection in chill
dren should be given prompt atten-
ton. Children should be taught to
keep their fingers out of their mouths
and noses, to wash their hands before
eating and to keep their teeth clean
Earache in a child is not trivial
matter. 1t is warning of danger
No child with healthy ears will have
earache. Wax or any kind of foreign
body in the ear my cause irritation
and liberation of the ear drum.
Another source of danger these
days is the swimming pool or the
crowded bathing beach. Every sum
mer there are apt to be many cases
Of ear infection caused by getting
dirty water in the ears or throat.
The mother is generally the first
person to know that child has ear
ache or any inflammation of the ears
Don't neglect it. The childs hearing
all through life may depend on the
care its ears have in childhood.

Poultry Notes

- - - -
If houses and coops are not kept
clean lice and mites take control Of
things.
Don't forget gravel for the hens
when snow covers the ground-it's
their teeth.
Make a close examination frequent
ly to see whether birds are gaining or
losing In weight
Health, vigor and vitality must be
maintained in poultry II winter eggs
are to be obtained.
Resolve that this year, II never be-
fore, you will supply plenty of litter
and see that 1t Is changed often.
One authority says that eggs from
hens fed milk freely will hatch better
and produce more vigorous chicks. :
Convenience for both hens and care
taker should be considered when
building poultry house. Convenience
means cleanliness and cleanliness
means health. The arrangement of
fixtures such as water stands, nests,
roosts and droppings board, broody
coop and mash hopper should be such
as to promote ease Of cleaning and
saving Of labor in caring for the
flock

Cattle Need Protein to
Make Profitable Gains

A certain amount Of protein is alb
solutely essential in cattle-feeding op-
erations. Where alfalfa or clover hay
is the sole roughage 1t Is not neces-
sary to use any protein feed, but
where alfalfa or clover is fed in con-
nection with other roughages, the adj
dition of one pound of cottonseed
meal per head per day will reduce the
cost of gains materially.
II no alfalfa or other leguminous
hay is fed, two pounds of cottonseed
meal per head per day will produce
gains considerably cheaper than in
the cases where none is fed, accord
ing to DR.. c. w. McCampbell, head Of
animal husbandry work at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.

Nebraska Station Gives
Ration for LAYING Hens

The ration for laying hens should
have yellow corn as it's basis and also
contain mineral, animal protein, and
a green feed. Cracked yellow corn as
scratch feed and sprouted oats for
succulent feed, plus a settled dry
mash made up of $50 pounds of corn
meal, $50 pounds Of shorts. 100 pounds
Of bran, and 100 pounds Of meat meal
or tankage is recommended as Ration
No. 1 by the new Nebraska Station
Circular 33. Three other rations are
listed on the back page and the cir
cular as whole deals with principles
and methods of feeding for an aver
age of above $50 eggs per hen per
year.

Cheap, but Ideal Floor
for the Poultry House

Eight inches of cinders, gravel or
crushed rock covered with about two
inches of rich cement will make
cheap but ideal floor for the poultry
house. The porous material under
the cement will tend to keep the floor
dry. The filling should be tamped
until it forms solid base for the
concrete.
Hollow tile forms perhaps a more
satisfactory base for the cement, and
only one-half inch Of cement Is needed
to cover a carefully laid floor. It is
more expensive than the other filler
1t should be laid on layer of sand
and then covered with rich cement to
make smooth surface which Is more
easily cleaned.

Try Sprouted Oats

There Is nothing that does more to
promote egg production and the gen.
eral health of the fowls during the
winter months than sprouted oats.
This Is such a cheap feed and oats
are so easily sprouted that 1t Is sur
prising that there should still be some
breeders who do not regularly feed
sprouted oats to their ,rds. A good
sprouter should be considered a ne
cessity on every poultry plant. They
can be had in many forms and In any
size to suit the largest as well as the
smallest poultry raiser. If you have
never fed sprouted oats, try 1t.

Bertillon Measurement

The Bertillon system consists of
simple and exact measurements of
certain parts of the body. The meas
urefnents are taken with calipers and
include the height. standing and sit
ting; reach of outstretched arms,
length and width of right ear, and the
length of the left foot, forearm, mid
die and little fingers. The entire
process takes from five to seven min
utes and the measurements are
planned to be accurate within one
thirty-second of en- inch.
