Two Polar Expeditions Un-

Are Ready to Go.

London.-The polar exploration
season has opened Sir Douglas
Mawson has one in active execu-
ton; so has Sir Hubert wilkins.
Both are expeditions involving tre-

Unlike the explorers of the old
days, they need to be fitted with
something more than stout hearts
and warm clothing. The tales of
the tremendous pluck and valOr of
the intrepid explorers are by far
the more thrilling, while present
day hard, scientific trips are never
diIated upon.
These brave venturerS do not

All-Mash Ration Grows
Rapidly in Popularity

The aIl-mash method of feeding
chicks has grown in popularity dur
ing recent years. as it assures the
caretaker that each chick will get a
balanced ration, rather than to CON
sumo some part of the ration, such
as scratch grains, instead of the
entire feed.
Successful feeding is one of the
requirements in getting satisfac-
tory growth and development OF
young chicks. Even though a good
ration is used, it should not be as
sumed that every grower will be
successful in raising large pro-
portion of the chicks which are
placed in brOoders. However, one
cannot overlook the matter of feed,
ing and expect to be reasonably
successful.

INvENTS WAY OF PUTTING SUNLIGHT TO USE IN FOOD

even in the country, that cows no
longer get the same amount of sun
light Also, they are sometimes fed
artificial food and as result milk
no longer contains sufficient
quantity of the vitamin.
"'Yet when milk was subjected
to the ordinary ultraviolet ray the
experiment was not successful, for
while the vitamin was produced 1t
was also destroyed, and undesir-
able changes in taste and Odor Oc-
Cured. Now the wave length of
light at which the vitamin is pro-
duced is different from that at
which it is destroyed and also from
that at which other undesirable
changes take place. By filtering
the ultraviolet rays we can keep
the beneficial ones and shut out the
harmful. In this way milk can be
made TO contain vitamin D."

POORLY BALANCED
RATION ESCHEWED
Pays Well to Give Pullets
Most Careful Attention.

When chickens are raised by ar
titicial. means, the conditions I'm
der which they have to grow and de-
velOp are often far from ideal. If,
in addition to this handicap, their
ration is too scanty in amount, or
If its composition is unsuited to
their needs, there is little hope of
being able to grow them at a profit.
Not only this, but the unfavor-
able influence of wrong conditions
early in life may extend through
out the first laying year and so
result in decreased return as com
pared with the income from a well
grown flock.
Carefully controlled experiments
have shown that a poorly balanced
ration fed to young chickens not
only reduces the rate of grain but
also reduces the mature weight of
the pullets, increases the age at
which the first egg is laid, and ma
terially reduces the number of eggs
that will be laid during the first lay
ing year, even though the ration
fed to the pullets after they are
placed in the laying house may be
good one
Since next years income from
the poultry enterprise will depend
on how well the pullets are grown
ii is obviously worth while to give
them the very best of care and at
tention from Matching time right
on through the summer The new
er information about poultry nutri-
ton shows clearly that there is no
one best ration. Either simple or
complex mixtures may be used, pro
Vided they are balanced with re
spect to the essential nutrients re-
quired by growing pullets.

POULTRY FACTS

The lack of lime in the poultry
ration may cause soft-shell or thin
and weak-shelled eggs.
Contrary to the belief of many.
lime in the form of oyster shell has
no effect on the color of the egg
shell.
No feed has any effect on the
color of the egg shell. Feed does
have an effect on the color of
the egg yoIk. but not on the color
of the shell.
Egg shell color is a breed char
acteristic, and there is direct
comparison in the color of egg shell
and the color of ear-lobes of the
different breeds.
The brooder house for turkeys
should be moved away from other
buildings to grounds known to be
free from contamination with
chicken diseases.
When pullets are kept in good
condition there is a greater likeli-
hood of a sustained egg production.
There is also less danger from
colds and molt.
The presence of additional lime in
the poultry ration increases the
number of eggs produced by laying
hens over those produced by hens
not receiving lime.
Although culling can be practiced
as soon as the chicks are hatched
nearly 40 per cent of an average
flock of hens will probably have to
be culled between June and Sep
tember.
Stunted chicks are likely to be
the result of an insufficient amount
of hopper space. 1t is wise plan
TO watch the chicks and supply
more hoppers whenever the chicks
are crowded to obtain feed.
There are three minerals that
have been demonstrated to be es-
sential in the feeding of poultry
They are lime, phosphorus and salt
and their function is to build bone
make egg shell and aid in diges-
ton.
One of the by-prOducts of dead
chickens is ptomaine poisoning in
