TWO HIGH PRISED EGGS WITH CHEAP FEED a! Results of No-Wheat Ration Tried in Government Feeding Test GOOD LAYERS NEED BEEF OR FISH SCRAP Cther Essentials to Fine Egg* Production in the Winter. Poultry owners who wish to obtain a satisfactory production of eggs dur ing the winter should plan to give their birds plenty of feed. .lust what kind of feed that can be supplied most economically and which will keep tho birds in a healthful, laying condition is one of the poultry keepers' principal prbolems. The Poultry Division of the United States Department of Agriculture has for seme years been conducting tests on substitute feeds with laying hens. The poultry specialists have found, for exapmle, that by feeding a wheat les, ration there is a considerable saving in the cost of feed and the hens will produce as many eggs as when whea< is included. Thirty Leghorn pullets to which this wheat less ration was fed for 1 1-2 years produced an average of 147.3 eggs a hen for the pullet yc.ir. This compares favorably with egg .* M-curi'u wiui omor rauon.s containing wlioat and. therefore, more expensive. During the !?! weeks of the second year the hens which were fed the wheatloss ration averaged 28.5 eggs per hen, 17.5 egg per hen being produced in March. The same wheatless ration fed to a pen of Buff Orpington pullets produced from the first of November to the last of March 5'? eggs a hen for the 20 weeks, making the highest record of any of the large feeding pens of pullets in the test. Two other pens, however, were less than one egg a hen behind this one. The wheat less ration which was used was as follows: 5 Scratch Mixture. 2 pounds cracked corn. 1 pound oats. Dry Mash. 8 pounds corn meal. 1 pound beef scrap. The scratch mixture was fed sparingly, so that the hens ate about equal part's of this mixture and of J the dry mash. The total grain con- j sumption of feed for the year was 52 pounds, of which 20 pounds was scratch mixture. Throughout the year it took 4.0 pounds of feed to produce a dozen eggs, Substitutes For Wheat. If the wheat is omitted from the ration it is very essential to feed a considerable proportion of beef scrap or fish scrap in the mash. While these foods may seem high in price, considering their high protein content and their value in egg production, they are cheap poultry feeds. In other exnorimonfcs pom. ducted by the Poultry Division it was found that for the first four months pullets fed a ration containing beef scrap produced an average of 41.5 eggs, while those fed the same ration, with the exception that the beef scrap was omitted, produced only 18.7 eggs. These experiments, the poultry specialists say, prove that wheat is not essential in an egg-laying ration AN UP-BUILDING FORCE Regardless of climate 01 environment, Nature exacts her toll of wear and tear on the system and there is frequent need for an effectual aid to restore strength and vitality. scorn EMULSION a systemic strengthened free from alcohol, nourishes and replenishes the needs of the body naturally.

M-U ISTATE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE The nationwide drive of the American Red Cross for the Christmas roll call opened auspiciously in Columbia. It is highly important that farmers should, at this season of the year, pay special attnetion to the curing and storing of seed corn. Much remains to be done in rural districts, according to the annual report of the secretary of agriculture, to control such pests as mosquitoes and the hookworm. At this season of the year, when leaves accumulate in heaps around the yard, rake them up in piles an ! put them in the garden to be used when needed as a mulch. Negroes in South Carolina will ask for drastic legislation at the next session of the general assembly to curb the spirit of lawlessness, which so often finds expression in lynching;. Many producers, distributors and others have come to depend on the market news service of the bureau of markets and to make less use of com 1 mercial price quoting; agencies, which are not able to furnish data so reliable, accurate, prompt, and comprehensive, according to the annua! report of the secretary of agriculture. "It was the consensus of opinion among the physicians attending the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association that while the prevention of crowds may not lesson the number of cases of influenza, such prevention will decrease tinnumber of deaths from the disease," said Dr. James A. Hayne, State health officer in speaking of the prob lems considered at the meeting of th?% Association held last week in Chicago. o BOLL WEEVIL PROGRESS. The activity of the cotton boll weevil in the coastal counties this year indicates that this state offers the weevil very favorable climatic conditions, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, of the crop Pest Commission. Heretofore the middle of November has marked the limit of weevil operation for the season, but this year he is still advancing on the middle and lower portions of the weevil line, which now runs from just below Augusta, through Aiken, 3a i*n well, Bamberg, Orangeburg, Dorchester, and Charleston Countties There is great probability of greatly increased activity next season. It is not regarded as safe to permit shipments from Aiken, Orangethe safety zone (which lies jst un burg, Mount Holly, and other points ir. the safety zone (which lies just above the weevil line) into the quarantine zone or free territory. and that excellent results can b r.ecured by using corn and oats as a cratch mixture, provided this i ; fed with a good ma: h containing per cent of beef or fish scrap. While the buds should have p'ent\ to eat, they should always be eager for each meal. If one-third of the scratch grain furnished them is fed in the morning and two-thirds at night, the birds will take more exercise than if they receive all the grain they desire in the morning, (lood scratch mixtures may be made of equal parts by weight of cracked corn, wheat, and oats, or of two parts of cracked corn and one part each of wheat and oats. It will pay the poultry owner t> devote a little trouble to providing his birds with the most favorable surroundings for the winter. The house should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and made tight before the cold weahtcr sets in. 11 the house has a dirt floor, it is well to remove M or 4 inches of dirt from the top and to replace this material with dry gravel or sand. On cement 01 wooden floors 4 or 5 inches of fresh straw or little may he thrown down after the floor has been clean.1 I'tli Ventilation is another important factor to consider. The house should be tight on three sides, but for th ) fourth muslin curtains may be used for from one-third to one-half its extent. In any case, there should be some ventilation in the house, even on th coldest nights. Fowls will stand considerable cold air, provided it is dry and ventilation will keep the air thoroughly dry in the house. On the other hand, drafts are likely to cause roup and other trouble.
