BUYING POULTRY FEED How Judicious Buying May Reduce Coats?Relative Feeding Values of Common Grains. The old saying, "No loss without some gain," applies to the poultry feed situation. High prices of Feeds have made poultry keepers consider values of feeds as never before, and they are rapidly learning how to buy more economically. While farmers have, as a rule, feu their poultry the grain that wa.-* cheapest on the farm, many poultry specialists and most small poultrv keepers have been accustomed to use their favorite poultry feeds without considering either the quality of the supply or the possibility of using cheaper substitutes. This attitude of the buyers of poultry feeds has made if easy for feed dealers to sell lowgrade and damayed grain at much higher prices than eould have been obtained if poultry keepers everywhere were studying and practicing economy in buying feeds. When buyers of poultry feeds buy with reference to quality and price as com- i pared with thc cheapest grain on iho market, the price of that grim will control the prices of all other grains for poultry feed. Corresponding Prices of Grains. Under normal conditions, corn is in tio.'i ? ! \r nil lvrivtvi nf* ITriitprl Sstnt the cheapest poultry feed. At the present time oats arc ncftrly everywhere cheaper than corn, and in some parts of th< country barley is cheaper than oats. When corn goes down to $1.50 a bushel, c'ats should be 75 cents and barley $1.20 a bushel to give the same value for the money, when fed to poultry. The relative commercial feeding values of the grains are most readily computed by using the prices per hundred pounds, taking corn as the standard and determining the relative value of any other grain by a rough comparison of its feeding value with that of corn. It is not practicable to make accurate calculations for this purpose, but a calculation which assumes that, except for indigestible matter and deterioration, the common grains are, pound for pound, of the same feeding value, and rates them accordingly will meet the requirements of the case. Judgin Quality of Feed. The common characters and conditions of grains which roughly deter?r>in,? vnlua nnnlfrv f #* /?/!< av eafcily estimated by the eye or by weight or bulk in measures or containers of known capacity. Good cracked corn is hard, bright, clean, and free from soft and chaff> particles. Corn that is crushed (not cracked), and shows much soft, chaffy, and scaly matter, should be rated proportionately below good cracked corn in feeding value. Cracked corn in which any considerable amount of greenish discoloration appears should he rejected as unfit for poultry. Oats and barley with the hulls on are at once seen to contain more indigestible matter than corn and wheat, Again, the indigestible hulls covering oats and barley make those grains less palatable to poultry, and tberr feeding value must be discounted for that. An average sample of oats should be valued about 12 to 15 per cent less than a good sample o'i cracked corn, an average sample of barley from 3 to 5 per cent less than 11 Women! 11 (l iH Here ls a message to iMf I suffering women, from IIH I I Mrs. W.

Wheat of good milling quality is not sold for poultry feed except in sections that grow much wheat and | little corn, and occasionally from j small local supplies. The best wheat' 'usually availabe for poultry is not, actually worth more as a poultry j feed than good cracked corn, but a | pcutry keeper can sometimes afford ! to pay a little more 1'or it because it J can be kept longer without deteriornjtion, and under some conditions it iWILL YOU Thousands of thoughtless pe< A cough follows; they get rundown Sickness can be prevented easi< will give your system the benefit ol cramp you will find your whole system stre fand throat and enrich yoi powerful concentrated noui Don't neglect taking Scoti The imported Norwegian cot! li refined in out owu American l.-iborate Scott & ll< I CHICKEN is often v* TncTtencltltouscwi is foejinesl shorten 1L."1!'.?| .

Wheat that has been perceptibly damaged by fire, water, or frost has less value as poultry feed than good cracked corn. There is no advantage of ecotoomy in buying damaged wheat for poultry except at its actual value n comparison with the com, oats, and barley available. The True Basis of Prices. Low-grade and damaged grains arc suitable for poultry feed if birds In good condition will eat them readily. They can be fed profitably if they can be bought at prices representing i 1.1. _; _ j. 1 l K- i ?* I vmur aciuai values rot' pouiiry loeuing, as compared with that of other available feeds. Better buying by poultry keepers will not immediately stop the selling of poor feeds at high prices, but eventually it will establish pi ices fo thorn on the basis of the price of the cheapest feed on the market, and not, as now, at a small reduction from the prices of good grades of the same g-rains.

The Russian revolution vill defend itself against Germany, ;avs an official Russian statement <ent on by wireless, which announces hat Germany has refused to grant .11 armistice. The announcement rc ads: .? V ' peace delegation is now on the way to Urest-Litovsk. We expect any moment news that it has arrived at the place appointed for peace nOgbtia lions, but there is no armistice. The German government has formally refused an armistice and German detachments continue to advance. "We are prepared to sign their peace of unsurpation. We have already declared this, but there ur?^ many indications that the Germans imperialists do not desire peace at the present moment, but rathr an imnV.iate strangling of the workmen's and peasants' revolution. Obstinate Resistance Necessary. "Resistance to the German hordes thus becomes the principal task v?f the revolution brae, heroic, obstinate and pitiless resistance. Every position. every railway station, every locomotive must be defended. Every possible obstacle must be put in the way of the enemy. "Our greatest strength is in our * ??iu: wjn iiories. Enemy detachments, still very small, have occupied Rcval and Pskov. Even Petrograd itself which is still far distant, ca? r.oway decide* the destiny of the revolution. The government of the people's commissaries can, and, if need be, must retreat, must gather its forces and must appeal to the country to use its whole strength for the defense of the revolution. Should the threat to Petrograd increase, the government will remove to Moscow or any other city of Russia. Council Must Survive. "If Germany's plundering raid should advance, the task of the government would be to destroy the possibility of a simultaneous catastrophic decision by the Germans. They are attempting to crush the authority of the councils, and are in search of it on the routes leading to Petrograd. "We will bar these routes by everything we can interpose as obstacles. This at the moment, is the principal task of the heroic Petrograd proletariat and its revolutionary staff. But at the same time, we must act in such a manner that the German genera's may declare they recognize the authority of councils, not only in Petrograd, but throughout the whole country north, south and on both sides of the Urals. Even if they think they can reach Petrograd by a mere military promenade, we will prove to them that they will have to disperse themselves all over Russia before they can reach and crush the authority of the councils. Raid Bound to Tail "Will they have adequate forces to carry out such a task if we defend ourselves heroically? No. They never will have forces enough. Such an enterprise inevitably will resolve it self into an adventure and will fail. However deeply they penetrate Russia, then the more surely will they bring about the outbreak of a revolution in Germany. Patience and firmness is necessary. "The first symptoms of panic creat e ! by the Germans' plundering mid have become bygone events. The cowards ate in flight and have made room for the brave who are rallying: themselves in hundreds and thousands for the defense of the socialist fatherland. "If peace with the revolution is not the aim of the German imperialists, they will^ see the revolution knows how to defend itself." ^ - Maj. C. S.
