AS YOU FEED SO
SHALL THEY LAY
Records Show Egg Production Often
Doubled or Trebled by the Addition
of One Simple Element to the Feed
—Extra Profits from Correct Feed-
ing More Than Offset the Slight
Additional Cost.
Editor’s Note—This is another sto-
ry in a series of 52 stories on .poultry
raising written by a well known nat-
ional poultry authority, Dr. L. D. Le-
Gear, V. S., of St. Louis. The entire
series will appear in this paper. Our
readers are urged to read them care-
fully and clip them out for future
reference.
From somewhere back in my
third reader days, I recall the
story of a miser who tried to
feed his horse shavings. It
would save the price of hay, he
reasoned, and if the change was
made gradually the beast would
never know the difference. May-
be the horse was fooled', but Na-
ture most certainly was not.
Long before the diet got to be
all shavings the poor old horse
gave up the ghost.
great. They are expecting the;
impossible and wonder greatly
why they are so consistently
disappointed.
The first thing that must be
thoroughly understood is that
from the hen’s point of view
egg laying is a secondary mat-
ter. She eats first of all to build
up and maintain her own body.
If, after enough has been eaten
for that purpose, she can be
persuaded to eat still more of
the right kind of food correctly
proportioned, she will lay eggs.
That’s all there is to the theory
of scientific poultry feeding.
The next essential fact to be
mastered is that different kinds
of feeds produce widely differ-
ent results. Grains furnish, for
the most part, substances called
carbohydrates which are trans-
formed' into fat for the fowl’s
body and albumen or egg whites.
Other substances, known as pro-
teins, build up the muscles of
the bird and furnish yolk for
eggs. Proteins are usually fed
in the form of meat scraps, milk
or tankage. There are some pro-
teins in grains but not enough
for the hen’s body and eggs too.
For the egg shells and bones
of the fowl, minerals are re-
quired, calcium carbonate being
the principal one. For that pur-
pose, crushed oyster shell or
limestone is kept before the
fowls at all times.
A certain amount of green
food' is also requqired. It helps
prevent digestive disorders and
contains the two valuable vita-
mins, A and D, so essential to
Plenty of seasonable green
stuff should accompany this ra-
tion. Grit, charcoal and oyster
shell should be kept before the
hens at all times. And water!
Yes, of course. Eggs are 65 per
cent water and a plentiful sup-
ply of fresh, clean water should
always be on hand to supply that
requirement. It is also essen-
tial for the health of the flock.
The feeding of a balanced ra-
tion will work wonders. There
are plenty of examples of flocks
that were fed all grain rations
with only fair results, but which
doubled or even trebled their
output as soon as a good mash
with the necessary protein ele-
ment was added. It is not
enough, however, just to feed a
50-50 mash and scratch feed ra-
tion at all times. The success-
ful poultry man will study his
flock. He will know whether
they are being forced and pro-
ducing beyond their normal ca~
ESTIMATES OF WHAT PRO-
HIBITION SAVES NATION
Noted Medical Authority Places
the Amount at the Huge
Sum of $5,600,000,000.
A new estimate that prohibi-
tion is saving the nation $5,600,-
000,000 a year—six times the
largest liquor tax “losses” al-
leged by the wets—has just
been worked out. The author of
the calculation upon which this
figure is based is Dr. N. S. Davis
of Chicago known as “the
father of the American Medical
Association” and who was the
first editor of the association’s
monthly journal, says a special
correspondent from Chicago to
the Christian Science Monitor.
_ Forty years ago, at the begin-
ning of the prohibition move-
ment, Dr. Davis computed the
indirect cost of liquor to the

ting too fat and lazy so they are
not laying as much as they
should. If the former, he will
cut down on the mash and feed
more grain. If the latter, he will
cut down on the grain and in-
crease the mash to make bird's
consume more protein.
Note—I will gladly answer
questions about any phase of
poultry feeding which may be
addressed to me in care of the
editor of this newspaper.

Once it is clearly understood
that each different kind of feed
has its own individual job to do,
the very term, “balanced ra-
tion,” ceases to sound quite so
much like a foreign language.
It becomes plain that the ration
must consist of just so much
material containing carbohy-
drates and a proportionate
amount containing proteins.
An example of what I con-
sider a well balanced ration* is
the one given below, which I
have used successfully for a
number of years. For the sake
of those Hot familiar with this
method of feeding, I shall ex-

From the Clarksville Times:
One lecturer says prohibition
has made America what it is
today. Some people want to
blame everything on prohibition.
If a fellow is going to park
his car alongside the curb all
day long in front of anybody’s
place of business he ought to
park it in front of his own place
of business and not inconven-
ience the other fellow’s cus-
tomers.
If there were no automobiles
to drive we presume the nuts
would' show it in some other
way.
If Mr. Edison wants to gain
real recognition as an inventor
why don’t he invent some kind
of contraption that will save all
cost of liquor if drinking had the time lost in pulling skirts

the time of “personal liberty”

years, and only recently have
been given an interesting prob-
lem to contend with, in the oil
fields near Beaumont, where oil
has been secured from the
bowels of the earth for the past
twenty-five years, the earth in
that section has sunk to a depth
of over one hundred' feet. Just
what is causing this earth to
sink is up to those who seem to
know and who have given the
matter some study and thought.
And, just what is under the
earth to support the upper part
of the cavity, is another problem
Some years ago,
building of sky scrapers was
introduced, scientists contended
that the earth d'id sink, and that
the continuous building of im-
mense structures of steel and
concrete would cause a slight
sinking of the earth. At that
time, when the Scientific Amer-
ican, a publication dealing with
discoveries and matters of sci-
ence, made the statement, it was
thought to be not well founded.
Which may be modified by stat-
ing that it depends on what sec-
tion of earth the building is done.

charged that losses in state, fed-

Farmers Are Buying
FARMALLS
Because they are convinced they can raise their crops at
about one-half the expense which it has been costing them
with mules.
The last few years have proven that land which is broken
early and deep makes better crops. FARMALL owners are
taking advantage of this condition right now. With the
ground hard like it is now, it is impossible to do a real first
class job of breaking land if you use mules, but with a
FARMALL the job is easy. You can work from daylight
to dark if you want to, and you will not be “fagged out,”
neither will the FARMALL.

on the part of the builders, it
will also show that the conten-
tion of the scientist is meri-
torious. It .stands to reason that
there must be a limit to the
weight that can be put on a cer-
tain portion of ground.
Italy still boasts of its leaning
tower in Pisa; the fault in this
is charged to the excavation,
that there was a softer spot at
one side of the foundation; in
these days of sky-scrapers, the
chief object is to get the right
depth and the right kind of
underground upon which to
build'. If, as we take the case at
Beaumont, the earth will sink
when oil is removed from the
depths, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that there are cavitie in
the earth that may proclaim
their existence when there is too
much weight put on the earth.
