Yeast for Hens

Hens fed fermented laying mash
as an extra to the regular mash and
grain at the coastal plain expert
ment station in North Carolina, laid
more eggs than hens fed the regu-
lar laying mash and grain. There
was very little extra cost from feed
ing the fermented mash.
The fermented mash was made by
adding two cakes of yeast to ten
quarts of mash and adding enough
warm water to make the mixture
fairly moist. The mash was allowed
to set for 20 hours, then the birds
were given all they would eat in
a half hour. The 10 birds that ate
the fermented mash plus regular
mash and scratch grain laid 1896
eggs; those eating only the regular
mash and grain, 1885 eggs.
Cost per dozen for feed was II
cents when fermented mash was
used, 119 cents without. Birds that
had fermented mash ate more mash,
more grain. These birds were bet
ter in appearance and had higher
vitality when the feeding test was
completed.-National Farm Journal.

LOAFING HENS NOT
WORTH THEIR FEED
Should Gull Flocks to Hold
Expenses Down.

At present prices for poultry and
poultry products eliminate all hens
that lay just enough eggs to pay
feed costs.
Hens that lay from six to nine
eggs a month cannot make money
for the flock owner at present farm
prices and should be killed, sold
or canned" says C. J. Maupin, poul-
try extension specialist at North
Carolina State college. "Such hens
will eat more feed than their total
market value and should be taken
from the flock in order to lower feed
costs and increase the quality and
production of those birds left In
the flock"
For proper culling, especially
where the flock contains so or more
hens, some form of catching coop
should be provided. Such a coop
can be made of Stats or just frame
covered with wire and should fit
the poultry house door so that the
hens can be driven into it without
injury. With such a coop the poul-
tryman can Gull at any time of the
year.
Maupin advises that close atten-
ton also be given to the breeding
males as this will determine, to a
large extent, the profit made from
pullets hatched and raised next
year. Old male birds that will not
be needed next year or young cock
erels that are not developing prop
erly should be removed from the
flock. Where possible, one or two
breeding cockerels should be Sc
cured from trapnested flocks.

of Holland since William the Silent
established the unity of the nation.
down to William III, father of Queen
Wilhelmina. The church is one of
the oldest in Holland and was built
at the beginning of the Fifteenth
century. The steeple, 120 yards
high, is one of the most graceful on
the western side of Europe, and con-
tains a fine carlton, on which mel
odies are played several times daily.
This was the last portion of the
church to be completed, and took al
most 100 years TO build.

Table Form in Fowls

The perfection of table form in
fowls is reached in fancy roasting
chickens. A fancy roaster is one
that is meaty all over; that is mar
keted when it reaches full develop
ment (after which it begins to lose
quality and that when served on
the table can be carved easily. To
meet the last requirement a bird
must have a broad straight back,
fiat at the shoulders, straight in the
middle and wide at the hips-with
the hipbone level. Such a bird will
lie right on the platter.

Daddies of Muscovy Duck
Found in South America

Early explorers of South America
found the ancestors of the modern
Muscovy duck there in the wild
state. Efforts to mate them with
other breeds proved that they were
a distinct species as the matings
produced sterile offspring. They
were known as Wild Musk ducks
and also as Brazilian ducks. They
made their homes in the widest
marshes and lowlands, and nested
and Matched their young in high
places.
Little attention was given to them
until about 1870. Since then they
have been distributed quite widely
over the world. In Europe and Amer
lea they have been bred with care
and found to reproduce to form and
color suitable for exhibition. Fe-
males have been found to be kind
and tractable. Males under two
years can be controlled, but when
they get older they are cross to
children; and, especially during the
breeding season, will attack adults
and even animals savagely, if they
are provoked, or disturbed in their
habitats.
The original, wild specimens were
almost entirely black. Other col
ors have been developed. Some off
spring have plumage like the Blue
Swedish duck. This is said to have
resulted from crossing white and
colored specimens.

Ventilated Trap-Nests

Open trap-nests are advocated in
some quarters. The sides are con-
structed of laths or other similar
material, admitting cool air freely,
and these are covered with wire
screening to keep out other hens,
mice and other nuisances. The usu-
al trap-doOl is at the front and the
top is boarded over, but tsree sides
are ventilated.

Harold Watson looked at her
again.
To him she was enveloped in a
golden haze-of youth, of lowell
ness.
She was everything that he want
ed-and he wanted her as his wife.
Snapped into complete soberness,
Harold came to her desk.
He stood there pale and nervous.

self. I'm thinking about you. 1
mean, l asked you to go to dinner
with me last night just as 1 might
have asked any girl"
He struggled painfully with en-
barrassment.
Shirley helped him out.
"You mean just as you might
have asked any girl of your own
social set, don't you? All right
apologies accepted"
Her pulse was racing, but she
tried to be nonchalant.
Harold flushed.
well, that's putting 1t rather
crudely, but you're good to help me
out. VIII you marry me, Shirley? q?
You're too good for me-and | love
you. | know you may think I'm

1t was hard for Shirley. He was
charming young man. Any wom-
an would like him. And Shirley
liked him a lot. But she knew it
was the thought Of wealth and
freedom from work that almost
lured her into accepting him.

Suddenly the jumble of automo-
biles and ermine cleared away from
Shirley's vision.
All indecision went with 1t.

vibrantly, to the boy across the
table. "Why. Michael Ryan. that's

for candy-but then, I think,
he discovered early in life that
he did not need to nag for any,
thing within reason. We never
subjected the boy to a lot Of
unnecessary don'ts, and, while
certain rules established for his
well being had to be rigidly OBJ
served, we never were strict
merely for the sake Of being
strict. In fact, we took a secret
pride in the fact that Franklin
instinctively never seemed to re-
quire that kind Of handling. For
this I give myself no credit at
all. If any outside agency could
be said to have been response
BILE for this quality it was his
father, who believed in keeping
Franklin's mind on nice things,
on a high level; yet he did it
in such a way that Franklin
never realized that he was fol-
lowing any bent but his own.
Flair for Geography
In consequence, the inclina-
tions Franklin developed, even
the subjects that intrigued him
most, sprang into being as the
subconscious result Of seeds
that were paternally sown. AS
time went on he acquired a re-
markable flair for geography.
This he attributed largely to
his interest in stamp collecting,
a tendency that originated with
him, but which was fostered
and enjoyed by his father, who
often Joined in the quest for
some particularly obscure stamp
that was missing.
Franklin worked on his collec-
ton most often after supper,
and while he lay spraWled on
his tumwy, sorting and pasting.
I usually read aloud to him as
he puttered. On one particular
evening, when he seemed less
interested in the sound of my
voice than usual, I put down
the book of stories, and said:

is any point in my reading to
you any more. You don't hear

on Living Costs

Food is the only item included
in the Federal living index
which shows a decline in 1892
as compared with 1918, the year
on which indices are traditionally
based, and this decline amounted
to only 1.3 per cent, according to
Myron E. Andrews, research Spe-
cialist of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, speaking
at the educational forum of the
organization at ITO Fourteenth
st. N. w., last night.
The cost-ofliving index has
taken on great Importance Of

pay cut effective April for Fed.
eral employees, and the promise
by the Administration that pay.
schedules will be made to con-
form to changes in living costs.
For purposes Of the new econ.
omy act it has been announced
that living standards will be
based on costs as of June 80,
1928, instead Of 1918, hitherto &C.
cepted as the basis. Mr.. Andrews
showed in his talk that in 1918
the minimum clerical salary, 5000,
would buy as much as $1,187 SO
will buy today, when the mini
mum clerical salary is $1,26O. Ap-
plication of a Is per cent cut to
$1,260, however, brings that sal
ary down to $1,071, which means
that the person drawing that
salary can buy $116.69 less in
terms of 1882 dollars than he
could have bought with a 5000
salary for the same job in 1913.
Mr.. Andrews explained the
basis on which the cost-of-living
index is worked out by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, which
has charge of the work.
