COD-LIVER OILS

The knowledge of the import
ance of Vitamin D in the nutri-
ton of both human beings and an
imals has been steadily iac
since its discovery a little over ten
years ago. Since then, cod-liver oil,
which is one of the richest sources
of this vitamin, has been extern
sively used for feeding purposes.
especially for poultry. More cod
liver oil is, in fact consumed by the
chickens of America than by chill
dren.
Its use is the secret of raising
poultry successfully in confine-
ment and securing high winter egg
production.
Cod-liver oil is supplied to the
poultry raiser in several different
FORMS, and success in his enterprise
may depend upon the proper selec-
ton and use of these oils.
1t must be remembered that plain
cod-1iver oils vary greatly in their
vitamin D potency. Some are po-
tent in this important factor and
some have very little of it.
There is no simple test for vi
tamin D. The only way to deter
mine the amount of it in a given
quantity of oil is to measure its ef-
feet on living animals. Oils assayed
for their vitamin D content in this
way are called ."biologically tested
oils. Rats and chicks are used for
this purpose, but obviously chicks
are best when the oils to be used
for poultry feeding. 1t is safe to
use, at the level recommended by
the manufacturer, oils hat have
been assayed with chicks, but one
may run risks with oils not SO test
ed.
Fortified" cod-liver oils are alse
available. These oils are prepared by
adding to plain cod-liver oil a vi
tamin D concentrate extracted
from cod-liver oil. By this process
the vitamin D content of the oil is
increased and standardized so that
much smaller quantities + need
ed. Transportation and other ex-
penses are therefore reduced.
Fortified cod-liver oils are suit
able for home mixing. They are
also suitable for use in mechani-
cally mixed feeds put out by feed
manufacturers, and many use this
type of oil in their products.

f his own room and his white bed
where he had slept as a boy-sud-
denly leaped on him and pinched
him with a sharp little pain, a needle
thrust beside the great pain he car

"I'1l stay, Nance, until-untii I

Her mother had come upstair,
with her to see Roddy, and Nancy
had coaxed her away from his door
and into her own room. No one
had thought of sleep that night and
is was daylight now. The soft gray
of the dawn crept in like a mist,
and they heard suddenly-in their
broken pauses-the twittering of
the birds in the vine outside the
window.

her face in her hands. She was a

turned stupidity, blindly, CROPPING
for the door. "I'd better go out
now and-hang myself" He
groaned.
"oh, my boy, my poor boy!'' his
mother cried after him, trying to
reach him, trying to hang on to
him with mother hands that never
give up.
But he did not look at her, he
fumbled at the lock of the long
French window, found it and tear
ing it open, he walked out over the
sill like a blind man. They heard
the soft thud Of his plunge to the
ground below.
Mrs. Gordon's sobs came in gasps.
"Oh, William, what have you done?
You've driven your own boy crazy
-he-he'll kill himself-I've got
to stop him, I've got to-" She
was actually at the window herself
now, trying to climb out.
But Nancy caught her, thrust
ing her back with firm young hand.
I'll go. Stay here! I'll go-I'n
stop him-leave it to mel" She
pushed her back gently, looking
over her head at her father.
The light outside was ghostly;
white squares of ground with black
shadows etched where, in the day
time, there were tall shrubs and
hemlocks.
Nancy stood still, too, rooted to
the ground, listening, her heart in
her throat. Then she heard the
faint crunch of gravel in the path
behind the lilac hedge. Roddy
was there, of course, she might
have known it! She fled lightly,
making no sound, in his direction

room; instead she went cautiously
downstairs. The light was still
burning there and she saw her fa-
her sitting bolt upright in his
chair beside the blackened hearth.
She went softly into the room,
drawing nearer step by step, star
ing at him in silent terror. She
thought he had died in his chair.
He had not. IIe looked old and
gray and broken, and his mouth
hung open like a dead mans.
