Cost of Layers Feed

Under normal conditions it takes
57.2 eggs to pay for the cost of feed
for a pullet during the pullet year,
figures supplied by the Dominion ex-
perimental station at Lennoxville,
Que, show. This figure is arrived
at from an average of u years re-
suits. The number of eggs required
to pay the cost of feed per bird va
ries with prevailing market prices
from year to year. During the pc
riod of the report 1t has ranged
from as low as 80 eggs in 1922 to a
peak of 60 in 1923. while it took 81
to pay the feed cost in 1881.
When eggs are cheap feed Is, usu-
ally. correspondingly cheap. This
year feed is cheap in localities en-
joying fair crops. Possibly the egg
value of a pullet's feed will be less
than the average.-Montreal Herald.

Poultry Facts

Canning old roOsters is the best
way to dispose of them this year.
A hen owned by ]. w. Witham
of Dunstable, England, laid 365 eggs
in as many days, but missed on the
366th day.
Proper care and feed prevents
well-bred pullet from mOlting in the
fall. Plenty of feed will not make
the pullets too fat.
A new-laid egg is said to be about
30 per cent water, and If the birds
cannot obtain enough. the egg or
gans are bound to suffer.
Feeds which are processed the
least and which represent more
nearly the whole product as safest
20 use when making a chick ration.
Ducks lay their eggs in the morn
ing and should be confined until
9 80 a. m. The average Pekin duck
lays from 100 to 100 eggs each sea-
son.
Pullets should be fed lots of grain,
including some yellow corn, advises

LOAFING HEN NOT
WANTED IN FLOCK
Watch for the Stacker and
Eliminate Her.

Discovering the hens that are
loating and are not paying for their
board Is an easy task if few
simple rules are followed, asserts
+. B. Zumbro, specialist in poultry
for the agricultural extension serv-
ice at the Ohio State university, CO.
operating with county agricultural
agents.
Whether or not a hen is in pro-
.duction, he says, may be determined
by examining the vent, pubic bones,
comb, wattlss, and ear lobes. The
vent of laying hen is enlarged,
soft, pliable, moist, and free from
yellow color. That of a hen out of
production will be dry and stiff.
The pubic bones of the laying hen
are wide apart, usually the width
of two or more fingers, compared
with the close-fitting bones of the
non-prOducer, which are no farther
apart than the width of one or two
fingers. In the laying hen there is
considerable depth between the rear
of the keel and the pubic bones,
usually the width of two or more
fingers, compared with the one-or-
two-iinger width of the hen out Of
production.
The comb Is large, full. and Of
rInccy oppanronoa IN tho ooco oF tho
pullet or hen about to lay. This
condition lasts. as rule, until the
peak of production. Toward the
end of production it loses it's gloss
and prominence, and although still
red, it appears limp and wilted. The
comb of hen that has quit laying
is small, contracted, dry, and usu-
ally covered with a white scale or
dandruff. The comb. Zumbro adds,
is one of the best external char
acters to indicate non-production in
hens as they are observed in the
pen or yard.
All breeds and varieties of chick
ems may be chilled on the basis Of
these factors, he points out. How
ever, fermentation is another char
asterlstic indicating whether or not
birds are laying. Birds of the yell
low skinned varieties, such as Leg
horns, Rocks, Reds. and Wyan-
dottes, show color in the beak, skin,
and shanks before they start lay
ing. Ii is similar to the yellow In
the yolk of the egg. The coloring
material is provided by the feed,
largely from yellow corn and the
green, leafy parts Of plants. When
the bird starts to lay. the coloring
material in the feed is used for col
oring yolks of eggs, and the amount
that has been stored in the skin,
beak, and shanks is gradually used
up. This constitutes a fading or
bleaching process, the extent de-
pending upon the number of eggs
produced.

The organ in the convention hall at
Atlantic City is now virtually COM

in the world in number and sizes of
pipes, wind pressure used and horse
power employed. This was neces-
sary, due to the immense size of the

He looked down. with fortified
eyes, at his enemy. McCann was
kneeling on one knee, rifle ready for
action.
1t could not nave been more than
a fraction of a second that JASPER
stared at this unexpected and mel,
acing intruder. Before the othes
could speak, he gave a yell of ter.
ror. swung his horse into its trackE,
and drove home the spurs.
Mechanically Wilson raised his
weapon and covered the flying man.
He drew dead bead on him-theh
lowered the weapon. Swiftly his
thoughts canvassed the situation.
Deliberately he pointed the barrel
of the rifle into the air and fired
four shots.
This done, he ran back quickly to
the cover of the manzanita, passed
rapidly through 1t, and headed for
a mass OF rugged boulders at the
upper end of the park. Here he
could make a stand with some
chance of success.
Wilson's fears were all for Phil
Later he might himself have to face
the outlaws, but his immediate con-
Germ was for the boy. Had he es-
capped? Was he now galloping down
the canyon, at every stride of the
horse increasing the distance be-
tween him and danger?
AS McCann reached the boulder
field there came'to him the faint far
away explosion of a gun. Another
almost merged in the first. and q
few seconds later came a third
sound, like the popping of a distant
firecracker.
He listened, nerves taut, heart
drenched with dread, but no othet
shots came to break the stiffness,
The boy had either broken through
or they had got him. Which?
He had intended to lie hidden in
the boulder field till he was discov-
cred, and make there stand
against the rustlers. But he found
1t impossible to wait there quietly

Julia had put her brother in his
care. Perhaps the youngster lay
wounded somewhere on the trail. lie

Only few stars were yet out. In
the darkness he strode across the
park through the grass, headed for
the pine hill where he had left Phil
and the horses. He wanted to make
sure that Phil had at least started
for home.
In the hollow back of the pine
clad slope Wilson found the pack
horse and his own mount, jim
Dandy. The latter was saddled and
tied by slip-knot to a young tree
He swung to his seat and rode
down the hill. The entrance to
the gulch was perhaps a hundred
and fifty yards from the house. He
was still some distance from f.
when a rider emerged, gallOping
hard, and made straight for the
cabin.
Wilson pulled up. The man had
come from the canyon bringing
news with him. What was the i'm
pOrtant message that drove him 50
fast to his confederates? He would
very much like to know. 1t mighI
simplify the problem before him.
He left the cowpony in a draw
and moved with a long even stride
toward the house. His rifle he left
behind the horse. 1t would only
hamper him at close quarters. If
1t came to a gun-play his As would
be better.

Dr. Krout also tells the story of little boy
VINO was taken on his first train trip. On his
return, he Dragged to his piaymates of having
been through a country where tie people were
no bigger than toys.
This seemed, of course, like terrible
whopper But actually the train had passed
along mountain slope where the child could
lock down on people in the valley far below.
To adults on the train these people were
merely ordinary folk seen from a great dis
tance But to the child. with no knowledge
OF the effect of distance they were tiny
Lilliputians.
ACK of understanding of the meaning OF
l. words is another cause of the untruths
handicapped not only by having an insufficient
number and variety of words with which to
express themselves, but by having only .
vague notion of what many words really mean
Grammar presents another difficulty Tense

standing adult punishable as a lie. whereas
Il will go to the store" or II meant to CO. Is
possibly what the child was trying to express.
As an example of the extent to which adult
words may be misunderstood by children. Dr.
Krout told of what happened when children
in English grammar school were asked to
write out the Lords prayer

Harold be thy name" and another Lead
us into Thames station" Any teacher who

innumerable instances of this kind.
The second class OF children'S lies contains
those due to a confusion of the farcied with
the real. The child may remember and relate
his dreams as though they actual events.
This type of untruth, DR.. Krout calls a
prevarication.
OUCH prevarication is innocent on the part
- of the child, and may be entirely
conscious Sometimes however, it may look
suspicious to the elders. especially when the
child adds to true facts bits of his wishes or
day dreams.
A little 3-year-old girl told a story of having
been walking with her father the day before.
She said a dog attacked her father, but that
she had hit the dog with stick and saved
her father
Actually they had taken the walk and met
the dog but the rest of the story was made
up What DR.. Krout believes happened was
that they met the dog. the little girl imagined
wished herself taking a heroic part in an
adventure. The next day the wish and the
reality had become one to the child and were
remembered together as an actual event.
There Is an inconsistency in the parent who
Furnishes q child for such prevaricaton and yet
encourages her to play store with checkers for
money. or to feed imaginary tea to her dolls,
to ride "hoFseyback' on a broom.
Children must be taught patiently the diff
ference between wishes and fances and cold
facts" But such confusions are not immoral,
they are the natural accompaniments of i'm
maturity and childish ignorance.

"-HE famous story of how the small
George Washington confessed bravely
to his misdeed of cutting down the
cherry tree because he could not
tell a lie" is itself in all probability
a big whopper.
But it has been told and retold to succeed
ing generations of young Georges and after
all it is true in the sense that it shows the
spirit of responsibility which the Father of
His Country did have. 1t is the spirit which
all parents would like to their sons develop.
AS to whether tie repetition of such a tale,
however plain its moral. encourages the modern
George to speak the truth, psychologists have
strong doubts.
Your child be brough up to be as truth
full as history and folk-tale report the great
Washington to have been, but mere urging or
preaching will not do it.
Some peSsmstic parents and teachers have
held the belief that honesty cannot be taught
at ALL that every child is born either honest or
dishonest. Some even go SO far as to hold
with the psalmist that "all men are liars"
DUT recent Investigations by psychologists
= indicate that it is not nature who is re-
sponsible for the lies of children. Rather
lying is an otugrowth of particular situation
and the surroundings or background OF the
child
In an exhaustive study Of the lives of chill
dren conducted for the Character Education
Inquiry in cooperation with the Institute OF
Social and Religious Research. Drs. Hugh
Hartshorne and Mark A. May Of Yale found
that a child will lie in one situation and will
tell the truth in another. He will CHEAT with
one teacher and be honest with another.
No one, these scientists say. is either honest
or dishonest by nature" There is no such
thing as a born liar
If the child lies it is because he has been
placed in a situation where lie seems to him
the only way out. or where he Is actually re-
warded for deception or perhaps ne has never
learned the difference between the truth and
untruth. Or possibly he sees the elders he
admires practicing the deception they deplofe.
If your child should tell lie, then, don't
worry about his character. But rather look
into the situation that called forth the lie
and see what can be done to change it.
To aid you in this. DR.. Maurice H Krout
of the Crane Junior College Chicago. has
made careful analysis of children's lies and
what hes behind th~~'
Al old gag ..4,. t..a. there are three kinds
~ of hes-white lies. lies. and statistics.
DR.. Krout also found three kinds Of children's
lies, only one type of which consists Of de-
Nberate deception.
The first class is due to misunderstanding.
or misrepresentation. Of what happens to the
child or what is said to him.
It is very difficult. If not quite impossible,
for adult to realize how limited Is the ex-
perience of the young child. II the 2-yeAr-old
tells you that his older brother has eaten his
ball. it may seem to you that he Is lying per-
haps for the purpose of getting the older
child into trouble But don't be too hasty.
1t may be that the baby has seen the boy
