Facts for Poultry Raisers
Grit, Oyster Shells and Charcoal.
Grit is essential to the health of
fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed for further digestion and is
required for the proper preparation of
feed in the gizzard. When the feed is
not properly taken care of in this or
gan an undue strain is thrown on the
fowl's system, often resulting in dis
ease, and also allowing much of the
nutriment to pass through the bird's
body without being absorbed. In
every pen or yard a box of grit should
be kept. Recent investigators have
asserted that grit is a part of the nec
essary feed, giving the fowls strong
bones and a bright plumage.
Oyster shell is fed to chickens for
the production of egg shells and not
tor grit, as some persons think. . Ap
proximately 90 per cent of. the oyster
shell-fed laying hens is converted into
egg shell, which has a chemical com
position almost identical with tha. of
the original shell. Clam shells and
lime, although of practically the same
composition, are not as appetizing to
the chickens and so are not as valu
able as the oyster shells.
Charcoal is given to poultry as a
corrective, and not as a food. In case
of improper feedin., it is well to give
charcoal to absorb intestinal gases. It
is generally fed o growing chicks
only, because of its high cost. .
When Hens Pay Best.
, The age at which a hen is most
firofitable for egg production depends
argely upon the method of feeding
and. the purpose for which the bird is
kept, according to experts in poultry
husbandry. ...
. If the object is heavy egg produc
tioq, without expectation of using
the bird for a future breeder, the
forcing method is adopted. By this
methods the hens are kept in a small
yard or house and are given a ration
which is high in egg producing ele
ments. . In this way the reproductive
system is worked to its highest ca
pacity. It is seldom that a bird will be able
to stand up under such feeding condi
tions for more than onelseason. This
system- of forcing is followed by
large commercial egg plants, the ob
ject being to get the greatest possible
inconie from the hens m the shortest
time.
The forcing habit has given rise
to the statement that the pullet year
is the most profitable of the life of
the hen. As the great majority of
hens are kept on general farms, where
the production of eggs is merely a
side line, forced feeding is not practi
cal, the general plan being to allow
the hens free range, and feeding them
so as to produce only the normal
amount of eggs.
Cared for in this way, hens of the
small eggs breeds will produce nearly
ly, but riot quite, as many eggs the
second season as the first. Those
breeds which have a tendency to put
on fat readily, usually become un
profitable the second year.
Hens that are to be kept as breed
ers, should never be given highly
concentrated feeds. If this is done,
the hens will not be in good physical
condition to produce the best chicks.
; -r
Frequency of Feeding.
Some poultrymen feed their flocks
twice a day, while others feed them

three times a day. The best plan is to
feed fowls in confinement three times
a day and those having free range in
summer twice a day. When there is a
very long interval between feeds it
is difficult to keep fowls busy if they
are kept in confinement. Idle fowls
often contract bad habits, such as
feather pulling and egg eating, be
sides going out of condition from lack
of exercise.
In case it is not convenient to feed
them three times a day, the moistened
mash may be fed in the morning and
at the same time the noon 'feed of
grain may be scattered in the litter,
which will keep the fowls busy a
great part of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morning
a good plan is to scatter grain plen
tifully in the litter after the birds
have gone to roost. This grain will
furnish feed for the early morning.
Some poultry keepers can look aft
er their fowls only once a day. If
this is in the morning, moistened
mash may be fed followed by throw
ing grain in the litter to furnish feed
for the remainder of the day. If it is
in the evening, before dark, a moist
ened mash may be given, and either
after the fowls go to roost or in the
morning before daylight, grain may
be scattered in the litter for eating
during the day.
Don't Mistreat the Broody Hen.
Do not torture the hen by the
starvation method when she becomes
broody. Feed her plenty of whole
some food and give her all the cool,
fresh water that she will drink. The
result will be surprising. -
Some persons treat the broody hen
as though she were possessed of evil
spirits. It is the maternal instinct
that causes her to quit laying and re
main on the nest
The hen should not be allowed to
remain on the nest a week or more
before starting to "break her up" as
that makes matters worse. The first
night that she is found on the nest
she should be removed to a broody
coop of srme sort The most satis
factory broody coop is one that it
well ventilated and has a woven wire
or slat bottom. This style of coop
will not allow the hen to sit down
and warm the surface beneath her.
Birthday of Rome Is
Celebrated in Ancient Form
(Correspondence of Ths Associated Press.)
Rome, April 30. The celebration of
the "birthday of Rome" was marked
this year by the transfer to the people
of the Archeological park, which con
tains some of the most highly priied
monuments of ancient Rome. It in
cludes the area between the Palatine
and the Baths of Caracalla, and is to
be officially known as the Zone Monu
mental. The gift was accepted on be
half of the municipality by the mayor,
and was presented by the duke of
Genoa, acting as lieutenant of the
king, who was at the front.
Following the precedent of the
second Punic war, large quantities of
gold were offerd at the conclusion of
the speeches, and during the afternoon
at,, the stock exchange, for the ex
penses of the war. Medals in fac
simile of those coined exactly 1,900
years before to celebrate the defeat
of the Germans by Germanicus, were
presented to the king, queen, General
Cadorna, and army officers represent-'
ing Rome and Turin. ". - ., , i,

How to Make Money
Raising Chickens
The chicken business is no place for
the untrained or unread man or
woman. It's simple but there's lots
to know and a wrong path leads sqrely
to disaster. Little use to set a hundred
eggs, hatch fifty, raise twenty, have
these grow up unthrifty and the hens
lay perhaps fifty eggs a year.
.The Lee Library of five booklets
was written by an expert of thirty
years' experience in poultry work. It
tells about Lee's foods insecticides
and remedies -true ; but It is more than
an "ad." It points out the stumbling
blocks, the little pitfalls that cause so
many failures with poultry.
We show how eggs can be made 90
per cent fertile; 90 per cent or better
hatched; 90 per cent of these raised;
every normal hen made to lay fifteen
eggs per month every month in the
year, and summer ejjgs preserved ab
solutely fresh for winter sale or use;
then there's big monev in chickens.

England Give Warning to
Farmers, Telling Them to
Out Down the Feed tor ,
: Animals at Home.
(rorrespomt.nc. sf Ths Assoclatsd Prsss.)
London, April 30. Shortage of (ood
for animals due to lack of shipping
resulting from the German subma
rine warfare threatens to put the cat
tle, sheen, horses, swine and poultry
of the British farmers on compul
sory rations. warning that the
farmer must he nrrnared for a re
duction this year of 1,000,000 tons in
the amount ot teeding stuffs for ani
mals has been given by R. E. Pro
file, president of the board of ag
riculture. He declares that unless
the farmers heed his warning and
place their animals on restricted ra
tions the compulsory ration system
will be applied. This system has been
in force in Germany for two years.
Here are some of the "don'ts" to
farmers issued by the board of agri
culture: No more farm stock shows must
be held.
The number of cattle must be sub
stantially reduced before Christmas,
but the milking herd must be kept up.
Fat stock shows must not be held.
Auctioneers must not sell animals
brought to "prime" condition by cake
feedings. No corn must be given to pleasure
horses; . . i f .
Caitle should, be sent, to market
leaner than usual. ' ,
Sheep must ;be killed earlier.
Next season's lanibing must be de
ferred until.ruore gras feed is vail
able.'- - , -
ConrSitutf hot be 'giVen to f)lgs:"
No-morp poultry should be kept
than can be mauKamed' on scraps and
waste food. ;' , . ' - .
The restrictions heretofore govern
ing the nle of chives are to be with
drawn .
Outlining the reasons for these new
restrictions, Mr. Prothero said:
"Owing to the lack of tonnage and
the necessity of destricting imports
to the essentials of foods and muni
tion of war the farmer must be pre
pared for a reduced importation of
feeding stuffs during the coming year
of at least 1,000,000 tons. The num
ber! of live stock are larger than
ever before. '
"In the present national crisis It Is
necessary to bring in human food
rather than raw materials for food
such is feeding stuffs for five stock,
which can only be converted into a
much smaller weight of human food.
"Rationing can only be avoided if
farmeri generally will determine to
reduce their individual demands unnn
the limited stock of feeding stuffs. The
snortage ot teeding stutis will be-,
come more pronounced as the season
advances and farmers should adopt
the policy of getting their live stock
as far forward as possible upon the
grass, green crops and roots of this
summer and autumn.
"There will be a large call for home
produced meat, both for civil and
army needs, as soon as it can be got
ready and stock raisers are expected
to take every step to prepare to meet
this demand. All cattle, other than
milch cows,- such as sheep and pigs,
that can be got into reasonable con
dition for slaughter on the crops
grown this season should be lent to
market." .
. Mr. Prothero says that' the concen-
iraiea ieeaing stuns available this
year will be only a sixth of the pre
war supply. '

FISHING FOR MINES
IN ENGLISHCHANNEt
Men Who Sweep the Seas for
Floaters Left by Germans
Take Their Lives in '
Their Hands.
(Correspondence of Ths Assoclatsd Press.!
Paris. May 20. Sweeuing the Enir-
tish channel for mines laid bv Ger
man submarines is one of the most
exciting and dangerous occupation!
of the war, according to the stories
told by men participating in that
work. ,
Mine sweepers doubtess are the.
only vessels of the navv on which life
belts are worn from the time of leav
ing port until the return." writes
Jacques Marsillac, from abroad a
mine sweeper on service in the chan
nel. "The task of a group of mine sweep
ers, composed of seven sloops formed
m ecncions, two oy two, connected
by steel cables, with the flag boat
leading,-is to clear a channel about
half a mile wide and fifty miles long
of the mines laid there by German '
submarines. These under-water mine
layers carry from fifteen to twenty
four mines, according to the type, and
they frequently lay them quite close
together, so close, in fact, that it has
become an axiom in the mine-hunting
craft that where one is found another
is sure to turn up.
Minutes of Tension. . -
"The wireless operator on the flag
boat of the grouo. who has served
on four . mine sweepers that have
blown up in the service, had scarcely
flashed to the boats of the group that
a mine had, been signalled when
black, mass- adrift . aoueared on ' the
-crest of the wave ahead of our boat.
.A ..l.'J llL- !i. j:. A r.
.,--aci:uiiu jaicr it disappeared vv e
steered in its"aifcctiou. every man
on deck searching Intently for its re
appearance. The few minutes in
which a lighted mine disappear! are
of infinitely disagreeable tension on '
ooara a mine sweeper. "
''And if we touch it?" Marsillac
asked of the wireless operator. ' '
men it is joss, he replied mean
ing that It would be fatal.
"On this occassion the fates were
friendly to us," wrote Marsillac, "for
the mine reappeared fifty yards away
ana, tor some reason that ao one
couid explain, remained in sight un
til .the gunners oould get action upon
it. , -

a seal'i back, showing from time to.
time its four mortal needles contact
with which means destruction. The:
boat sheered off and toe gunners,
using a snecial rifle ball at shnnl TltTi-
yards under immense difficulties re
sulting from .the rolling of the boat,,
fired fifty shots without touching one
of the fatal needles. They succeeded, '
nowever, -n piercing the mine which
filled with water and sank to the
bottom of the sea. '
"The two leading sloops raised a
half red flag, which means that they
hive found a mine. At once began
a maneuver intended to cut the cable
holding it; suddenly a steel cable that
connects each couple of sloops and
which is called the sweep' - struck
the mine. It must have come in con-.-tract
with one of the deadly needles. '
and broke the vial of acid inside which
sets off the discharge, for an im
mense column of water shot straight '
into the air to a height of 100 yards,
completely masking from each other
the two sIoods between which the
explosion occurred. Then the sloops
went on in search of other mines,
and thus continues every day this
dangerous ind heroic work of clear
ing the path for merchant ships
through the high seas."

than dad is at this time; you da not
know more than he knowi now.- So' "

to do, the thing that it payi to do, is ''
