GOOD LAYERS ARE
HEARTIEST EATERS
Dry Mash Mixture Aids in
Production of Eggs.
By Dr. W. C. Thompson, Professor of Poul<
try Husbundry, Rutgers University.
—WNU Service.
Laying flocks must consume plen-
ty of dry mash daily during cold
weather if egg yields of 50 per
cent or more are to be maintained.
While grain consumption is high-
ly important for body maintenance
purposes, it is chiefly from the dry
mash mixture that layers manu-
facture eggs. Good, well-balanced
rations must be provided and the
hens encouraged to eat at the rate
of approximately 12 pounds of mash
a day per 100 layers.
Provide enough mash hoppel"
space so that every hen may eat at
any time she chooses. This means
a six-foot hopper for every 50 birds.
The hoppers should be built no high-
er than 15 inches from the floor.
Hens prefer low hoppers and will
use them more often than those
built on higher legs or set on tables. I
Each hopper should have a broad
eating expanse, at least six inches
wide. Furnish fresh mash every
morning and always stir it when
visiting the laying pen. Do not fill
the hoppers too full, for hens will
waste the contents under such con-
ditions.
If dry mash consumption is fall-
ing below normal, try mixing some
of it to a crumbly-moist consistency,
preferably with milk but with water
if milk is not at hand. Then feed
it in this crumbly form on top of the
dry mash. This slight change in
form will often increase consump-
tion.
Place the mash hoppers in a well-
lighted section of the pen and where
the hens may get to them easily.
Hang artificial lights over the dry
mash hoppers.
Layers should be consuming
slightly more mash than grain, and
the amount of feed consumed alto-
gether should be about 23 pounds
per 100 birds every 24 hours.
"Corn on the Cob" Not
So Good for Dairy Cow
^Corn on the cob," however tasty
It may be to her, is not an econom-
ical feed for the dairy cow, all
things considered, says H. R.
Searles, extension dairyman, Uni-
versity farm, St. Paul.
Ground feeds are from 10 to 25
per cent more efficient than ear
corn for the producing cow. And al-
though it is easier to feed broken
ear corn and to turn cows into corn-
stalk pastures for forage, any sav-
ings in labor are offset by losses
in milk production.
A ration of corn and stalks lacks
variety and does not supply pro-
teins necessary to the producing
cow. Furthermore, corn is not the
best supplement for corn silage and
corn roughage. Other grains and
supplementary feeds such as linseed
oil meal, soybean oil meal, cotton
seed meal or corn gluten meal
should be added to the farm ration
to supply variety and protein. When
no legumes are fed, the ration
should contain from 20 to 25 per
cent of the protein supplements.
Higher production obtained more
economically will be the result.
Equal parts of ground corn and
oats fed with alfalfa hay will make
a satisfactory farm ration. Should
oats be scarce, ground corn, or
ground corn and cob, with alfalfa
will also make good rations. With-
out alfalfa or some other legume
hay, these rations will require one
of the above mentioned protein sup-
plements. Each cow should be fed
individually, according to the
amount of milk she is producing.

FINDING OURSELVES
IN SERVICE

Agricultural Notes
Proper housing is helpful in in-
creasing the production of hatching
eggs.
• • *
Each five hens in the laying house
should have one foot of hopper
space.
• • •
A oueen bee can lay from 3,000
to 4,000 eggs a day for several
weeks.
• • •
Molded or otherwise damaged
sweet clover hay or silage is not
safe to feed cattle.
• • *
Common gas engine troubles are
overheating and loss of power, gen-
erally due to incorrect timing.
• • •
Guinea hens prefer to mate in
pans, although good fertility can
sometimes be had with as many as
lour nens mated to one male.
"Finding ourselves" seems like a
singular, almost self-contradictory,
expression, but it refers to a sound
principle recognized by psycholo-
gists as well as spiritual leaders. As
a matter of fact, modern psychol-
ogy has begun to recognize and use
spiritual laws and principles which
alone bring about human happiness
and efficiency.
A word of warning—let no one
who studies this lesson fall into the
serious error of thinking that some
formal religious service will bring
redemption and favor with God. We
are saved by grace through faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ—"not of
works, lest any man should boast."
It is then by the new birth that we
are "created in Christ Jesus unto
good works which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in
them" (Eph. 2:8-10).
It is the Christian who needs to
"find himself in service." Only as
he thus yields to Christ does he
really find the life worth living. The
words of Jesus in verse 35 are sol
emnly and gloriously true.
I. Clear Confession (vv. 27-30).
Even those who deny to our Christ
the recognition of His deity, and the
devotion of life which is His just
due, must, if they are at all in-
telligent, admit that no man ever
lived who has made such an impact
on human history. Even in the days
of his life on earth those who did not
accept Him as Christ regarded Him
as the resurrected form of one of the
nation's greatest leaders. Now un-
believing men speak of Him as the
great founder of Christianity, a
mighty leader, a wonderful exam-
ple, or an unequalled teacher.
It is not enough that we stand with
the mass of humanity who may thus
admire Him, but who do not count
Him as Saviour and Lord. The ques-
tion comes to us as it did to the
disciples, "Whom say ye that I
am?" "Thou art the Christ"—this
alone suffices as the foundation for
Christian testimony and conduct.
II. Corrected Error (vv. 31-33).
Although Jesus was not yet ready
to have His Messiahship proclaimed
to the public, He was prepared to
teach His disciples concerning not
only that important truth, but of His
rejection and death. "He began to
teach them that the Son of man
must suffer ... be rejected . . .
killed and . . . rise again."
Note the divine "must." While it
is true that wicked men showed
their hostility toward our God and
His Christ by hanging Him on Cal-
vary's cross, yet it was to die for
our sins that He came into the
world. The cross has rightly come
to represent God's love to the world
rather than man's hostility to God.
Error now asserts itself, and
strangely enough it is the very one
who had the clearest grasp of the
truth regarding the Messiahship of
Christ and boldly expressed it who
now objects to the revelation of the
coming death and resurrection of
Christ, and lends his voice to re-
buke the Master for speaking of it.
Satan hates the cross and the open
grave. Jesus won the victory over
him there. He did not want to hear
of it before it took place and used
impulsive Peter for a mouthpiece
to object. He doesn't want to hear
about it now and uses many a
skillful and gifted preacher to speak
against it. "The ofTense of the
cross" (Gal. 5:11) has never ceased.
III. Consecrated Life and Service
(vv. 34-38).
"Let him deny himself" (v. 34).
That command we have construed
to mean that we should perform lit-
tle acts of self-denial, foregoing
some comfort or pleasure, possibly
for a few weeks. It does not mean
that at all—but does mean the re-
nouncing of self and self-will, and a
complete yielding to God's will.
Likewise, to take up one's cross
does not mean to bear some of life's
little disagreeable experiences; it
means again to die to self and to
live for Christ.
Careful attention should be piven
to the solemn questions asked and
statements made in verses 35 37.
Theie are not the reasonings of a
man—they fall from the lips of the
Son of God. What, He asks, will you
srive in exchange for your soul''
Logical Substitute in
Absence of Duchess
The late Sir James Crichton
Browne used to tell a story at the
expense of the late duke of Marl-
borough and his duchess—who
was Consuelo Vanderbilt. The
duke had an emu given to him
which was sent to the family es-
tate near Oxford—and great in-
terest was taken, especially by
the duchess, in the chances of
its capacity for procreation. Even-
tually it laid an egg.
The duke and duchess were
away, so a telegram was sent the
latter by the estate manager, to
apprise her of the event. It read:
"Emu has laid an egg; in ab-
sence of your grace have put goose
to sit upon it."

Slide Fasteners for Slip Covers
FF YOU have slip covers made
* by an interior decorator and
you go in for such niceties as
slide fasteners or welted or piped
seams the bill goes up and up. If
you make the covers yourself all
these "extras" amount to very
little either in time or money..
In fact slide fasteners require less
time than a closing with snaps.
Plan the closings for a slip
cover during the final fitting when
the seams have been basted but
not stitched. Sometimes one short
placket is all that is needed.
Again openings must be left at
several points so that the cover
will slip on easily.
To apply a slide fastener to a
seam placket, turn the slip cover
inside out and crease the seam
open. Cut a facing strip V/*
inches wide and 1 inch longer than
the opening. Join the facing strip
to the back edge of the opening
as shown at A. Slash the front of
the seam edge % inch above the
top of the opening and crease it
over the back facing as shown at
B. When the edges of the opening
have been prepared in this way,
press the edge creases with a hot
iron. Next, baste and stitch the
fastener in place as at C sewing
close to the metal. The ma-
chine cording foot is useful for
this purpose. Do not trim away
the tape at the ends of the fasten-
er. Whip the upper ends down as
at D, and cover the lower ones
with the hem as at E.
NOTE: If you are making new
slip covers or curtains or doing
other Spring sewing you will want
a copy of Mrs. Spears' book SEW-
ING for the Home Decorator.

rections for making curtains for

Reminiscent
After the young singer had fin-
ished her second encore, the old
lady leaned toward her and said:
"Thank you so much for your
songs, my dear. They took me
back to childhood days on my
father's farm. There were times
when you sang that I could shut
my eyes and fairly hear the old
front gate creaking in the wind."

VrOU can eat the fuzzy cat-tail
you have seen so often in
marshy places. The Iroquois In-
dians used the root of the cat-tail
plant to make flour. The root is
starchy and the Indians dried it
and made a flour that is similar
to flour made from corn or rice.
Cat-tail flour was one of the sub-
stitutes the Germans learned to
use during the World war. The
American Indians also used the
root to make syrup. It is the
tender shoots of the plant that
Cossacks enjoy and it is this part
of the plant that is sometimes
served in England under the
name Cossack asparagus.
The fibrous leaves of the cat-
tail plant have often been used to
make mats and chair seats. The
flower is converted into a substi-
tute for cotton or silk and is
made into a filling for upholstery.
In this form the (lower was used
as a dressing for wounds in the
World war. The ancient people of
India dried the cat-tails and used
them as torches. In some places
wlier® palm leaves are not eas-
ily obtained the cat-tail leaves
are used on Palm Sunday instead
of palms.
The leaves of the cat-tail are
grasslike, growing in double rows
on the reed stalk and the flower of
the plant is the tail which grows
at the top of the stalk. The tail is
not a single flower but is made up
of thousands of little flowers. The
familiar fuzzy surface is due to
fine down which grows on each
flower.
The cat-tail is one of the most
familiar sights in all places where
there is marshy ground. In Eng-
land the plant is called reed mace.

Bright Lights
The world's highest lighthouse
at Deal island, oir Tasmania, will
soon be visible for much more
than its present 60-mile range.
Rising 057 feet above sea level,
the beacon will be stepped up
from 3,000 to 1,000,000 candlepower.
It will, however, not be the most
powerful of lights. A beacon on
Portugal's coast shines out with
the light of 55,000,000 candles!
All this lighting is obtained with
acetylene lamps controlled by
electricity, and are used at hard-
to-get-to places in the Arctic that
are visited only once every two
years for inspection and refuel-
ing, During all that time they
light the night for ships, automat-
ically turning off at daylight.-.
