NATHAN ROTHSCHILD
OptlE Rothachllds of Europe have
the reputation of being the great
eat financial geniuses. Indeed, thetr
ability to amass wealth has made
them world famous. And Nathan
Meyer Kutharhlld waa the master
moneymaker of them all.
.Grandson of small merchant, one
of ten children, Nathan waa born Sep
teinber 10, 1777. He was sent to Eng
Isnd to tske rhsrge ot the vsst Itoths-
chlld business there, the other four
brother being scattered In other 1m
portant Kurnpean countries. Nathan
took up bis residence In London. The
boldness snd skill of bis flnnsrlsl
methods roused first the distrust
then the admiration of his business
friends. He employed carrier pigeons
snd special fast boat to get news
which would affect bis trsdlng on the
stock market. He loaned money to carry
on the war against Napoleon, and
alwsys believed in Napoleon's event

present at Wsterloo. However, be did
have some representative there, St
leaat, and arranged fur relays of fast
horses; for he got the news of Ns
Mil eon's defest some hour before any
one else. Consequently he could buy
heavily In the stork market at that
time depressed by the news of Illuch

on that chance, and made, nobody

He, himself, and other member of
the Rothschild house, had loaned mil
Hon to the government of their
various countries. Indeed, the war
of the allied countries agslnst Napo

RIGHT FEED WILL
STOP SOFT SHELLS
At this time of the year no com
plaint 1 much more common than that
hen are laying soft-shelled eggs. This
means considerable loss through a
corresponding reduction In the quan
tity of marketable eggs produced. The
causes of soft-shcdled eggs are well
known to the well-Informed poultry
man. He understands that the ap
pearance of such an egg Is an Indica
tion of improper feeding and be gov
erns himself accordingly.
The yolk of the egg Is fully formed
when it break from the hen's ovary
and drops Into the funnel-shaped
mouth of the oviduct It Is at this
point that fertilization of the egg takes
place, If the egg Is to be fertilized, and
probably within a few minutes of the
breaking loose ot the yolk. In about
three hour the formation ot the
thicker albumen I completed, this
taking place In the upper and central
sections of the oviduct
The third and last section of this
organ secretes the shell membrane,
and it also require about three hours
for the shell to form therein. By the
eipsnslon and contraction of the wslls
of the oviduct the egg I forced for
ward into the shell glsnd, where the
lime 1 deposited, snd within 12 to
24 hours the egg I laid. One can
readily see that anything that would
have a tendency to make the egg pas
too rapidly through this portion of
the oviduct would cause the ben to
lay soft-shelled eggs.
The first and usual rouse of soft
helled egg I that the bird I too fut
The muscular movement of the oviduct
Is hindered by layers of fat and In
ileid of the egg being controlled by
firm muscles it merely slips through
flabby mass without getting Its shell
on. The difficulty will vanish If the
birds are made to scrstcb bsrd in a
clean, dry straw litter for all thetr
grain, and the ration fed is not over-
fattening. Sprouted oats will be I
vslusble food, as they ar less fat
tening than either wheat or corn. In
some rases it might do well to omit for
a few days all mashes, especially
moist mashes, if many soft-shelled
eggs are coming through.
The second source of soft-shelled
eggs is Isck of lime In the hen's ra
tion. In this esse the sbell-secreting
part of the oviduct falls to do Its
work because of lack ot material.
Oyster shell broken fine enough for
she bens to eat or dry granulated
bone are. good sources for the lime
required. It Is claimed by some pool
trymen thst the use of limestone grit
also helps to supply material to the
hen. It bt often recommended that
old plaater or mortar he broken or
ground fairly fine and thrown Into
bos la the pen for the birds to est
Keeping Records Shows
Profits From Hen Flock
Tlie year ISO wss a good one for
the poultry-man who kept close tabs
on his flock.
"I'roflt for the yesr ending Novem
ber 1 ran slightly higher than a year
ago In most counties 1 hsve visited so
far for summarizing records," writes
Q. 8. Vlckers, poultry extension spe
cialist at the Ohio State university. In
a letter sent to the 1.070 Ohio farm-
era who keep flock records la co-oper
ation with the university.
Indlestlons are thst these poultry-
men will average 130 eg or more per
Hen for the year. The state average is
about seventy eggs.
In Medina county the high flock
made a net profit of 13.3.3 on each hen
housed at the start of the year, while
the low Dork made forty-two cents
hen. The low man cannot possibly
mulutaln the same standard of living
the high man can. He has a problem
lo meet If he want more ot the.ie
worldly good.
Poultry Hints
Egg can be produced cheaply only
from high-producing stock,
see
No one grain supplies alt the feed-
element needed for egg production la
the right proportion.

Yellow corn, according to scientist,

to the poultry diet.
e e e
Egg eating Is a hard vice to cure,
It usually starts from the liens break
Ing thin-shelled eggs. To prevent the
laying of such eggs give the hens
plenty of oyster shells. Darkening the
nests discourages egg-eating, and more
beef scrap In the rutlou help to break
It up.

GROUND SOY BEANS
SUPERIOR FOR COW
la Indiana experiment station Bulle
tin 2ftU, L. H. Fslrciilld and J. W. Wil
bur report the results of three trials
In which soy bean oil meal and linseed
meal were compared as compo
nent of the grain mixture of dairy
cow during lactation.
Three lot of cow were fed In two
ef the trial, receiving old process soy
bean oil meal, with and without min
eral during different period, and
Unseed oil meal during a third period.
one trial two lots of cow were
used, the feeding being for three
periods by the double reversal meth
od. New process soy bean oil meal
wss fed In this trial, and one of tb
lot received mineral.
The result of the three experiments
were not entirely uniform, but In gen
eral old process soy besn oil meal was
superior to the product prepared by
the new process, and both were su
perior to linseed oil meal for milk pro-
dsction and In the grain requirement.
Old process soy bean oil meal pro
duced milk of a higher fat percentage
than linseed oil meal, but the reverse
occurred with the utw process product
No definite effect wss observed from
the feeding of minerals.
The second pert of the bulletin
deals with the results of two experi
ments In which ground soy beans with
and without minerals were compared
with llnaeed oil meal for milk produc
tion. The combined result of the two
experiment Indicated that the aoy
beana increased the milk production
and maintained the fat percentage, as
compared with the linseed oil meal.
Less grain but more silage and hay
were required for milk production with
llnaeed oil meat With the mineral
supplements there wss a decrease in
milk production.
The authors conclude from the five
experiment thst soy besn oil meal
snd Unseed oil mesl are practically
equal In value, while ground oy bean
are auperlor to either.
Rye as Dairy Feed Not
Popular Among Dairymen
Rye, as a rule, doe not enter largely
into the feeding nf dairy cows, in fact,
it Is not a very' popular feed among
dairymen. Rye Is credited with caus
ing a bitter taste in dairy products

Feeding Value of Skim
Milk of Various Breeds
There I very little. If any differ
ence in the feeding value of skim milk
of the different dslry breeds. Guern
sey milk does contain a higher per
centage of total solid, bnt the extra
amount of milk produced by the Hoi-
teln offset the difference In com
position, so that it may be ssld thst a
liolsteln cow produces as much feed
vslue in her milk after the cresra bss
been separated as a Guernsey cow. It
msy also be ssld thst the Ouernsey
cow, with her tower production of
milk, produce a much feed value In
her skirn milk ss the Hoi stein.
It may be estimated that there i
on pound additional solid mstter In
100 pounds of Guernsey milk In com
psrison with that of Holstetns, which
ts so small that there Is very' little
difference In food value la the
amount that would be fed dally.
Increasing Production
It is eaay to Increase production ot
average row when we nse pure-bred
bulls of reasonably good breeding and
with ancestry of satisfactory produc
tion, and when we succeed in getting
our aversge cow up to 300 pounds of
butterfat a year, other problem will
confront ua. But our need now is to
get cow that average 300 pounds or
more. In a study of more then 2,000
record of dam and daughter In cow
testing associations It wss found thst
the aversge bull did not incresse the
production ot cows thst produced 884
pounds of fat per year.
Soy Bean Hay and Straw
Soy-bean hay, which consists of the
entire soy-bean plsnt cut and cured,
Is higher In protein than clover hay
snd It conatltutes an excellent hay for
dairy cows. It is hsrd to ssy whether
or not It will Increase the flow ot
milk. That will depend on whether
or not tlie cows hsve been well fed
before starting them on the soy bean
hay. It they have been getting timothy
hay and you suddenly change to soy
bean hay, there wilt be a murked in
crease in milk production.
