A recent trip with oae of °Dr eM1Dby
reTwesenta,tives in poultry
work 're onled the faet that most of
tiie. farm hens are not beine' fed
enough ter efficient egg- production,
fact, the thinnees at' the hoes in-
dicated that he were not getting
enough to eat to maintain norma
bodily conditions.
The hens are not purposely broaght
to this condition. Mast farmers un-
doubtedly think that during the -grow-
ing season the hens -will scout aromul
aud pick op enough to maintain them-
selves in good condition. The hen is
not Ince ether farm animals, M that it
does not show its conditions upon cas-
ual observation. Her feathers cover
her body so that it is imeossible to told
its condition without examination.
Therefore.a farmer's hens often get in
poor shapedesfeee he is aware of it.
The only thing that may be noted is
that egg, pro,duction has dropped off,
Under natural eonditions the hen
lays her quota of eggs in spring, gets
broody, hatches cut a brood of chick-
ens and spends the. Slimmer in taking
ca -e ci them. She becomes thin and
in pear coedit -ion, ranging around en-
deavoring to get enough for herself
e and her flock. In the fall when the
geains ripen she gets enough to put
herse'f in fairly good condition to help
her through the winter.
The hens that are now getting thin
are either et the end of their laying
for the temmer er have stepped laying
seene time ago. Before they start
again they will go through a moult,
probably early in the season. And it
is- a known fact that early =niters
are not winter layers. For instance,
a hen that moults early in August
will very likely he a drone until next
oaring, -whereas the ape that has been
busy laying- all summer and delays her
recult until late fall will soon recover
from the moult and start producing-
,
eggs again.
The advisable thing to do is to have
the flock culled so es to eliminate all
bens that are naturally poor layers
anel would not pay a good profit even
if well fed, and, then gradually feed
up the remainder of tla-e flock. A good
method is to allow the hens free range
as before and then have available to
them in a feed hopper the following
mash: Equal parts by weight of corn
meal, bran, middlings, ground oats. If
sour milk is available give them plenty
of it. If it is not, add to the mash
three-quarters of a pound cd eommer-
cial meat scrape to every- four pound.s
of the math. our milk is very valu-
es a poultry feed and, can be put
to as good use for feeding poultry as
any other way on the farm, It will
replace meat scraps, which is the most
expensive ingredient of the poultry
ration, and also one of the most valu-
able. Besides the mash, the hens
should be fed in addition, scratch feed
composed of equal parts of cracked
corn and wheat. This ecratch feed is
especially desirable if the hens do not
have a good range. If the range is
good it may be dispensed with in some
cases and the mash entirely relied
upon to make up the deficiency in the
amount of feed the hens get.
It is advisable to rnake all changes
In feeding gradually, as any sudden
changes may bring the hen into a
moult. The short summer feeding
through 'ranging has come about grad-
ually with the drying up of the range
due to the hot weather. In many cases
the farmers have also recently .cut out
feeding grain to their hens because of
shortage cd supply. If this change
would have been sudden it might have
produced a moult at this time of the
year. In getting the hens hack to con-
dition start the feeding gradually,
otherwise it will produce a very much
undesired moult at this time.
It is granted that many farmers are
short of grain and are not in a posi-
tion to buy food. However, on the
other hand, there has never been a
time in recent years since poultry feed
has been so cheap. rt is therefore a
matter of good judgment to make the
added expenditures to buy extra feed

is impossible it won' I be wise to dis-

therefore bo the cause of future loss

The good care and feeding of chicks
is also urged as the care the chicks
get in Oarly life is often the determin-
ing- factor as to the profitableness of
the bb'' in later life. A stunted ehick

would be far more profitable to sell
the chicks when they t'e'et to the broiler
stage, than to expectthem to produce
a profit y egg 'production later on
after they have gone through a semi-
starvation period.
• A good mash is also a valuable ad-
junct to free range for chicks. The
following is a good mash: Two parts
each of corn meal, middlings, bran,
one part each of oat meal and beef
scrap and one-fourth part charcoal.
This nnash should be placed in a hop-
per available to the ehicks at a.II times,
Sour milk is also one of the most
valuable things that could be given
growing chicks.' If it is available it
should be kept before them at all
times. When sour milk is used the
amount.of beef scraps may be reduced
one-half.
A. liberal feeding of either hens or
chicks at this time of she year is "A
stitch in time" -which assures poultry
profits later on.
Essentials in Sheep Raising.
1. Willingness to pay proper atten-
tion to the flock at the critical times
of the year.
2. Production of lambs of early ma-
turity that should preferably be
marketed before the middle of July.
3. Control of parasites in the fleck
by the tale of early lambs, rotation of
pastures and flock management.
4. Protection of sheep from dogs,
by community interest in sheep, by
enforcing dog laws and keeping sheep
in protected quarters at night.
5. Use • at' pasture to the greatest
degree,
6. Feeding of •corn silage with clev-
er or alfalfa hay, supplemented with
grain, to the breeding ewes at defin-
ite periods.
7. Selection of breeding sheep that
possess merit in wool, as well asin
mutton character. Constitutional vigor
and health as a result of breeding and
care are essentials in a foundation
flock.
8. A sure -bred-• ram of a -desirable
type and quality should sire the lambs.
9. Cheap equipment, whith offers
protection, plenty of ventilation and a
dry bed.
10. Marketing of products of wool
and mutton with an understanding of
market values and demand. Commun-
ity organizations are beneficial in this
regard.
11. Grow into the business, not go
into it. A few bred ewes in the fall
Is a good buy.
12. Realization of the fitness of a
flock on the farm, their value as weed
destroyers, utilizers of rough feeds.,
and conservers of soil fertility.

Why Go to College?
Also, Reasons Why One Should Not go to College.
By Eugene Davenport.
Why should a young man, say
eighteen 3rears of age and a graduate
of e good high school, speed four more
years of his life and all the money he
might earn and more for the sake of
a college course and a degree?
This question every year presents
itself to thousands of young people,
and the way in which it is anewered

indeed of the sration as a whole. The
reasons for going to eollege, therefore,
should stand clearly out before those

Lt were not so, there would be no tol-

It would be a sorry problem if these
young people seeking en education to-
day were obliged to found and build
their own Colleges, gather the facul-
ties together and pay them and then
buy and install the necessary equip-
ment in the way of books and labora-
tory appara.ttis. If they had to do all
that, they would be too old for colleges
before they had the institutions half
Now, by any ethult, the fact of hav-
ing a college at all creates a debt
which these young. people owe and
which they must pay by service of
some kind. Not tardy that, but they

he who would take all the advantaves
which have been, provided by those
who have gone, before, but will add
nothieg hiinzelf to the world's stock -
that man is not fit to go, ,to college.
If he presents •hirnself, he should not
be admitted. And if he is admitted,
he should be kicked out the moment
it is discovered that he intends to
absorb everything possible to himself
arid to give nothing in return,. We are
net training a few thousand young
men in order that -they may stand on
the heads and shoulders of the masses
to their exploitation.
The real reasons for going to Col-
lege may be briefly stated as follo-tvs:
1. To gain information which can
be more systematically and widely ate
quired through a well selected college
course than by any other kno-we
method. The world's stock ef lcnowa.
edge has now become see great, and
the need along any particular line so
specific and exactiaig; that self-made
men have become almost aie -impos-
sibility. This means -Chat the tinie
has come when the new generation
should learn to live not simply by
imitating the neighbors, but by pos.-
sessMg itself as far as possible of the
world's stock of inforniation and
expezience.
2. To know the method of research
that may be depended upon in seeking
information about a new subject -re-
quiring opinion and conclusion.
3. To gain instruction andi thi-per-
ience in handling conflicting data, in
discriminating between facts and ap-
pearances, in weighing evidence and
-in forming safe judgments as to the
'principles that are indicated by the
facts.
4. To triain the intellectual lacultie.s
to obedience and precision, as the
athlete or the skilled artisan trains
his muscles to the most delicate ser-
vice and the most accurate judgment.
5. To acquire that kriowledge of the
sources of information, that familiar-
ity with intellectual processes, that
corniatand over one'e faculties anti that
independence of sound judgment that
distinguish the educated from the. un-
educated man.
6. To learn the laws of health and
to train the body as well as the mind
in such ways as shall prolong life,

Our colleges are supported by peo-
ple who get no direct ,advantagee from
them. There is not a colleg•e graduate
to -day who does not in some measure
owe his education to citizens of all
classes, even to the -washerwoman, a
hundred miles away, for the tre-
meridoue cost of education is laid upon
all classes of society. Everybody helps
to pay the hills; a few people only
reap the direct edvantages, and the
obligation resting upon them is heavy

way or another in the form of service

which they have acq4a-ed through,

and to -enjoy the one life that Inc been
given.
7. To form acquaintances with men
of parts aiid influence all over the
world-, and so to multiply one's oppor-
'amities and advantages,.
8. To prepare for 'serving the world
to the very best of one's powers', and
so to pay the debt that every 'genera-
tion owes to those who have gone

longed., but these are the chief con-

for going to college are the following:

2. To get rid of work and stave ,off

There are many good reasons for
not going to college. Finsit among
these are duties to dependents and a
decent regard for one's health. There
are inseances in which the responsi-

pulls ahead his bit will be drawn .by
the receding whiffietree of the slow
