HENS "ROLL THEIR OWN" HIGH EGG RECORDS FOLLOV As a result of eight year's feeding tests at the United States Departmen of Agriculture poultry yards at Belts ville, Mr., a mash feed has been com pound which gives uniform high egg production. This mash, which haQ been tested for three years, is madc cf 4 per cent bran, 4 per cent mid dlings, 26 per cent meat scrap, and 6( per cent corn meal. In -the experi. ments the lhons Were allowed to select their own mash ingradients. This ie the proportion of those different feeds which they ate during the year. Sev. eral. pens of 30 hens each, both of Leg horns and of Rhode Island Reds,-hav< averaged from 140 to 155 eggs apiece while this mash was fed. While th< mash seems to be cspecially adapted for Leghorns, it has given very good results with Reds. Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks were found to gel too fat on the ration and a mash some what lower in meat scrap has given better results with these breeds. Both the Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks at Beltsville are large standard sized fowls. The tendency to become over fat on this mash probably would not be found in a smaller type of Ply mouth Rocks, such as is often found oI conmci-d poultry farms.

DOES IT PAY TO RAISE RUNTS QUERY PUT TO MANY FARMERS A questi onna iro sirvey conlucted among 1,000 leading farmers an-i breeders by the United States De partment of Agriculture indicates that about 7 per ce-t of the annual production of farm live stock in the United States consists of runts and undersized specimens of the various breeds and classes. Farmers report that their annual incomes from live stock would be increased an averae of 13 per cent if runts could be eli minated. Better methods of feerling and breeding better stock, the use of purebred registered sires, good care and systematic attention, better hroiis ing and sanitation, proper care of the dam before the birth of Voiuiv. pra tical control of such objectionable para sites as worms and lice, the control of disease, and the culling from the farm of all stunted stock which ind[ cates no possibilit ies of successful reformation andl rehabilitation are the control1 methods recommended~ by these ex periencedl farmers. About three quarters of them say that it dloes not pay to raise runts. while the balance nmaintain that the Tom T1humbs of the livestock wvor'ld enn he raised success fully only when well bred and when plenty of cheap feed is available and dlepenfdable markets arc readily ac WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUN-DOWN Missouri Lady Suffered Until She Tried Cardui.-Says "Result Was Surprising."--Got Along Fine, Became Normal and Healthy.

C., Aug. 29.-Ac cording to the census of 1920, 40.8 per cent, or about two-fifths, of the people in the state of South Carolina are either infants or children under 15 years of age; 10.9 per cent are young people 15 to 19 years old; 33.8 per cent, about one-third, are men and women in the prime of life, being from 20 to 44 years old; while 14.4 per cent, being 45 years of age and over, are well along in middle life if tliy have not reached old age. The urban population as compared with the rural shows some rather striking dif'erences in age, the per centage 20 to 44 years of age being 43.2 for the urban population as coni pared With 31.8 for the rural, vhile the percentage under 15 years of age is :10.2 in the urban population as against 43.1 in the rural. These dif ferences may indicate larger families of children in the country than in the city, but probably indicate also the fact that country children as they grov up have a tendency to flock to the cities thereby increasing the ac tive adult population of the Cities at the expense of the rural districts. Over twvo-fifths of the population, 46.3 per cent, are 01(1 enough to vote, being 21 or ov'er; and in this class the iSTO land look ov a have to si a our line ne: acome to to' i be you are aa market juw a* what we hi i but would i t privilege ar Sof showing anyway.
