CAREFULLY SELECTED PULLETS AND HENS
WILL PRODUCE PLENTY OF EGGS IN WINTER
Ifa fsi feisi
Exercise for Hens in Getting Their
(Prepared by Hie I'nited States Depart
ment cf Agriculture.)
Mrs. Hen, veteran, and Miss Pullet,
"rookie" of the laying flock, will pro
duce plenty of eggs during the fall and
winter months if they me properly
fed and carefully managed.
Investigations of the United States'
department of agriculture show that
general purpose pullets will consume
In a year an average of (1.7 pounds of
feed to one dozen eggs produced, while
yearlings will eat ahout 9.6 pounds of
feed. In these experiments the Leg
horn pullets ute 4.8 pounds and the
yearlings C.5 pounds of feed for the
production of one dozen eggs. The
general purpose pullets ate 1.9 pounds
more feed in producing one dozen eggs
than the Leghorn pullets, and the dif
ference increased very rapidly with
the age of the stock, the general pur
pose yearlings consuming 4.1 pounds
more feed to a dozen eggs than the
Leghorn yearlings; therefore, the Leg
horns produced eggs more cheaply than
the general purpose breeds. This Is in
accordance with the generally accepted
standards which value the general pur
pose breeds most highly for market or
for the hutching and breeding purposes
of the general fanner and backyard
poultry raiser, while the Leghorns are
cspi-einHy adapted for use on commer
cial egg farms.
Profitable egg production Is largely
the result of properly balanced rations
of wholesome feeds. A balanced ration
is a combination of feeds furnishing
Just the necessary amount of nutrients
to produce the highest and most eco
nomical egg yields and malbfu.ti the
body requirements at the same time.
A good egg-laying ration should Include
a scratch mixture and a mash eum-po-nl
of palatable feeds containing
some animal protein and considerable
bulk. Corn anil wheat are the 4wo
best grains for poultry feeding, al

dition to the green stuff consumed.
Hens Need Plenty of Protein.
Meat scrap or some animal feed high
in protein is one of the important con
stituents of the mash. In the govern
ment experiments a pen of pullets on
free range, which received no meat
scrap or animal protein feed, laid only
110 eggs each in a year, compared with
yields of from 125 to 150 eggs each
from fowls fed rations containing meat
scrap. The eggs from the pen where
no meat scrap was fed cost 2.2 cents
more a dozen for feed than when the
meat scrap was included in the ra
tion. Fish meal or fish scrap can be
used to replace the meat scrap and
compares favorably with the good
grade of meat scrap, containing the
same per cent of protein. Skim milk
or buttermilk, either sweet or sour,
Is excellent for replacing part or all
of the meat scrap. The milk may be
used in mixing the mash if a moist
mash is fed, or It can be kept before
the fowls as a drink. If clabbered and
fed thick or like cheese, hens will eat
enough of It to replace all the meat
scrap needed. A little bone meal makes
an excellent addition to the mash or It
can be used to replace part of the meat
snap. (ireeii-cut bone. If fresh and
sweet, will also take the place of meat
scrap if fed dally at the rate of one
third to one-half ounce to the lieu.
Green Feed Supply.
!reen feeds, such us sproated oats,
alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfu, and clo
ver hay, cabbage, and niaiigel beets
should lie supplied hens confined In
mall yards and also to all hens dur
ing the winter season when no green
feed is available. Cabbages may he
hung up in the poultry house. Beets
are usually split and stuck on nails
on the wall of the pen about one foot
above the Hour. 1'rozcn vegetables cull
be thawed out and fed to fowls, but
usually do not keep well after thaw
ing. Cl.iver aid alfalfa may be fed
as hay, cut Into one fourth or one-half
Inch lengths, or ibcy may he bought la

Here they pay no taxes, and a few

thanks to the fruitful land. These peo

gentle voices, and if the family iiii"

Weather Optimism.
Everybody, said Mark Twain, com
plains of the weather, hut nobody ever
does anything about it. It is the com
mon failing of humanity thoughtlessly
to consider its personal comfort first,
in disregard of the benefits which may
result from a warm spell which ripens
the crops, or a rainy season which fills
the natural reservoirs, or a cold snap
which is supposed lo make away with
next season's orchard and garden
pests. And there is also on She side of
the occasional weather excess the les
tiniony of Pr. Ellsworth Huntington of
Yale (hat monotony of temporal lire
and humidity are not good for civiliza
tion, that man progresses most where
there Is a variety of climate.
Origin of "French Leave."
The origin of "French leave" w as ex
plained in an English court by the
Judge recently. It did not arise, h
sii'd. out of Ihe former French wars,
consequent upon the escape of French
prisoners, but in the early part of the
eighteenth century in the salons of
France. Certain guests, not aware of
the higher acts of courtesy, were in
the habit of leaving without saying
good-l.y to the host or hostess, and it
became a practice, t'lil'ortuniitely that
practice was adopted in certain cir
cles of English soctety about ihe same'
time, and, therefore, II was said if
a man left without saying good liy to
his host he took "French have," fol
lowing Ihe practice in France.

A VISITOR
By BARBARA WOOD.
"Who's there?''
Polly Anderson sat up in bed witli a
start. Her breath came fast and her
heart beat like a little trip hammer.
"Who's there?" she called again;
this time her voice was steadier. Hut
there was no answer. Slowly, oh, so
slowly, Polly slipped two pink little
feet out from under the covers, ami
without taking her eyes from the door
she felt around on the tloor for her
slippers. After a moment or two o!
vain searching she dropped her eyes
to look for them.
As she looked away the door opened
swiftly and noiselessly and someone,
or something, was in the room. Kut
Polly was intent upon finding the slip
pers which had so mysteriously disap
peared. Her curly head and bare,
round arms were half way under the
bed and she was saying to herself:
"Why didn't I snap on that light?"
Now Miss Polly Beckwlth Anderson
was not In the least a nervous or timid
young lady. She was what her gentle
men acquaintances called "a sport
through and through." and she could
recall many a delightful day spent
"breaking" one of her father's colts
or at target practice with her two
brothers. Kut when she heard her
name spoken In a hoarse whisper by
n man in her own room at two o'clock
in the morning her heart slood still foi
the space of a quickly drawn breath.
First, two shoulders clad in pink silk,
then two arms, soft and white, and
last a head and face bidden from view
by a dark mass of curls made their
way slowly and fearfully out from
(heir recent hiding place.
With a toss of her head she threw
her hair over her shoulders and lifted
wide, frightened eyes to look Into the
face above her. In an Instant she was
on her feet, and her eyes, even in the
dark, gleamed with anger,
v "Kobtrt ,. Amlermiu, what flo v you
mean by frightening me like this? An
swer me !"
Hob shook wilh suppressed laughter
as be put his finger to his lips.
"Hut where have you been, and why
did you come In here and scare me
half to pieces?" Polly asked, noticing
I hat he was still wearing his daytime
attire.
"Listen here, Polly-o," her brother
was serious now and was fumbling In
his inside coat pocket "I saw Pave
tonight ami he asked me to give you
Ibis." With that he handed her a note
addressed to "P. K. A."
Hut Polly did not lake It. She was
staring ut him with a great light In
her eyes. Finally siie whispered:
"You saw Pat Id my Pavid?"
"Yes. little sister, and he's pretty
lor.i son e for you. too. I guess. He took
me out to the little new cottage he has
built and furnished for you. and. Polly,
it's a beauty. There- nothing he's
forgotten, lie asked my advice about I
a few things f..r your own sunshiny I
boudoir because, as he expressed It. 1

Polly look the m.te and leio bed up
to kiss her ,g bin: her good night.
""Ii. Hobby, I',. I.bt," she whispered.
"I Ine him o much, and you iinder-
li.lni so well: If only father were a
