A controversy has existed for some years over the relative merits of ani' ma! protein and vegetable protein. Chemically, they are practically iden- tical, though in feeding tests the vege- table protein does not seem to give the results of the animal protein, This fact, together with the natural eager- ness with which chickens crave animal food, have convinced most feeders that no ration is complete without some kind of animal food.

Thie Pah water seems to be tonna especially in oil fields, but it has been struck by the drill at many other places, as, for example, near Leven - Worth, Kan., where enormous quanti- ties of salt water are tound at va- rious depths below the surface, Al- though no valuable pools of oil or gas have been found in that region, nu- merous beds of coal under it. in one boning four beds of ,coal aggregating over eight feet in thickness and num- erous thinner beds having an addi- tional total thickness of six feet were found. In the region also many out- cropping layers of rock contain re- mains or marine shells, and the entire region was no doubt once covered by the sea. Indeed, the geologist has been able to decipher in the rocks numerous details of the record of the advance and retreat of the sea and has been able to establish the fact that the region was submerged at several dif- ferent times. These and other geolo- gic: features of the region near Leaven- worth, Kane„ and east of it, in Mis- souri, including its mineral resources, are described in a folio of the "Geolo- gic Atlas" of the 'United States just issued by the United States Geological survey. -Bulletin of the U. S. Geologi- cal Survey. a. 6 No single grain or form of food is a complete ration for man or beast. An animal may subsist for a time on one, but sootier or later it will cease to thrive, and eventually it will perish by disease or starvation --induced by mal- nutrition, The bodies of all creatures positively demand certain elements, and without them they cannot sur- vive. When a diet or ration is made up in such a manner as to supply a sufficient amount of each group of nutrients, it is called a balanced ra- tion. In the limits of a single article it is impossible to discuss at any length the principles of nutrition and feed- ing. Most poultry raisers feed sue- ficient grains, therefore they provide enough carbonaceous matter, since most grains are rica in this element; it is also likely that they feed consid- erable protein, which is another term for nitrogenous matter; but their ra- tions are probably deficient in min- eral substances, which we have termed the accessories to the regular bill of fare. FURNISH THE GRINDSTONES. A good grade of meat scrap or pre- pared animal meal is probably the most convenient form of animal pro- tein for poultry. It is thoroughly cured by a cooking process, and if stored in 0, cool, dry place, it will keep Practically indefinitely, Fish scrap is still another kind of animal food that comes highly recommended. Bone meal or granulated bone may be added to the dry mash as substi- tutes for beef scrap. They are ;high in protein and mineral matter, con- sequently excellent egg -producing and feather -making material. While mint, skimmed milk and buttermilk are greatly relished by fowls, and may be fed in unlimited quantities. Don't underestimate the importance of green food. It contains many essen- tials in health and. productiveness. Moreover, the fowl's appetite craves it. Fresh clover, alfalfa, rye or rape will be relished, by birds of all ages. Cabbages, turnips, mangels, under: sized white and sweet potatoes are also good, and may be fed cooked or raw. If fed raw, it is a good plan to chop them into small bits. If none of these roots are available, and there is -no pasture, we wotad use sprouted oats. Most animals are provided with teeth to enable them to masticate their food and thus prepare it for the action of oganic secretions, and its ultimate assimilation. Hens' teeth are proverbially scarce, though they have been endowed with an equally good substitute in the form of a gizzard. This is quite a remarkable organ; it is tough and muscular, capable of strong rotary action, and so situated that all food passing from the crop must enter the gizzard, where it is ground up• previous to entering the Intestines for the final digestive pro- cesses. In chickens the food is first re- ceived in the crop, where it remains for a time and is acted upon by a secretion similar to the saliva in the mouth of an animal, which softens it to a great extent. When the food has absorbed a sufficient amount of this eecretiou it gradually passes into the gizzard, thence to the intestinal sec- tion, where the available nutrients are separated from the waste, and assimilated by the blood. If supplied with the necessary A grinding material, the gizzard will per- form its work thoroughly, and the 'fowl will be maintained in a healthy condition. But if this grinding ma- terial is not available, or it it is of improper character, husks and the harder portions of the food will defy the action of the gizzard, accumulate, cause a stoppage and as a result the fowl becomes crop bound, which is a form of indigestion. Lack of sharp grit will also cause - sour crop, diarrhoea and liver troubles, and sometimes the gall -sack will overflow or burst, and result in the bird's death. Just as a person with poor teeth de- rives little enjoyment, and less nour- ishment from his food, and is fre- quently troubled with indigestion, Fcs will a fowl be unable to properly di- gest its food unless the gizzard is provided with "molars" -sharp grit at all times. GRIT MUST BE SHARP. Don't assume that because fowls are given freedom to roam about a field -they will pick up sufficient grit. Un- less the hen yard is adjacent to a quarry, the pebbles picked up on the average farm are of little value as grit, They are not sharp enough. A smooth, round pebble in. a fowl's giz- zard is of no more use than an axe Iry handle would be for splitting wood. To be effective grits must have sharp, angular corners like grindstones, they must have biting edges. Western Woman Speaks With Enthusiasm MRS. R. .ECKFORD TELLS OF DODD'S, KIDNEY PILLS tamable is very limited, and farmers must depend mainly upon their feeding stuffs. Prices for live stock are such that, despite the high cost of coarse grains, it is profitable to feed them to food animals. The statement from the Food Con- troller's office say e that, if the price of bran and shorts had not been fixed, thews products would have risen in price to an amount representing their feeding value compared with other grains and feeds. But the fixing of the price has only ensured that In so far as these feeds are available, they are comparatively cheap; the supply 'has not been increased thereby, The present total daily production of bran and shorts by all the mills in Canada is only 84 cars, and the sup" PlieS of wheat will not enable even this rate of production to be main- tained for the balance of the,, crop Year. The total bran and shorts pro- duced in Canada if divided among all the farm live stock in Canada would only give one meal in three weeks. A flour mill of 100 barrels capacity daily manufactures lees than two tons of bran and shorts per day, which means that a single carload will only be produced every two weeks, The Food Controller has taken meas- ures to reserve for the farmers of the Dominion all by-products of grain elevators that aie available for stock feed and also feed -wheat, bran and shorts, all such mill feeds. Applica- tions, for licenses to export 6,640 tons of bran, shorts and mill feeds have been refused. Indeed, the saving has been very much greater because the mills were deflnitly informd that licenses would not be issued for the exportation of such products. Feed wheat has all been retained in Canada, and more than 2,850 tons of screen- ings have also been saved from ex- port. Arrangements have been made which will keep the exportation of oats, barley and other feels to a minimum, except for shipments over- seas by the allied nations. The Food Controller has been in constant communication with the au- thorities at Washington with a view to expediting shipments of corn into this country for feeding purposes. Ar- rangements have been made for its entry as soon as means of transporta- tion have been provided. The American corn crop is the greatest in the history of that country, but the car shortage, combined with the fact that much of the corn is wet and cannot be shelled until it has had a long period of sea- soning, has kept supplies from the market. At least until it •is available, farmers are advised to use domestic coarse grains for live stock, and also to make use of whatever quantities of cottonseed meal, oil cake and gluten meal, and mixed feeds are obtainable, She Says They Are "All Right," and Gives Her Reasons for Saying So - Why They Are Popular on the Prairies, Leslieville, Alta.

"I wish to inform you that Dodd's Kidney Pills are all righte," says Mrs. Ecktord. "I have only taken two boxes, and my back is fine, Of course I will keep, on taking them whenever I think my kidneys are not just right." "Your Diamond Dinner Pills are dandy, too," Mrs. Eekford added, "I keep them in the house, and take one occasionally as required." What strikes one most on the prair- ies is the warm praise the people give Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are used for all kidney troubles, including back- ache, rheumatism, lumbago, heart dis- ease, diabetes and dropsy and Bright's disease, and their popularity is the proof of the good work they are doing. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the standard Canadian kidney remedy. Oyster shells are fed in addition to grit, for the lime and other mineral substances that they contain.

It Takes Chinese Patience to This Hard Oriental Stone. When you go into an oriental shop in any big city you are almost sure to see rings or necklaces or bracelets which are pretty, clear green in color and are made out of jade. If you ask the shopman to tell you something about jade he will answer that the true jade is selaom -found outside of Asia and Oceanica, but that in these Parts of the world it is to bo had in -considerable quantities. You, of course, know that a diamond is so hard that it will scratch glass, but perhaps you have not heard that jade is also extremely tough and will cut glass and quartz. Because of its great hardness the man who carves it must possess vast patience, and per- sistence to carve designs in jade. The Chinese make numberless arti- cles out of jade -paper weights, han- dles for swords, belts, -bangles, rings. vases, cups, plates, pendants and so on. Jade is far from cheap to buy. Now- adays fine pieces of jade are just as much valued among collectors as are fine paintings for their great beauty and artistic value. So, then, if some one gives you a little pendant of carv- ed jade, you will understand that you have a present which not only would be valued highly to -day, but one which many peoples in all times would have treasured. -Christian Science Monitor. The Drill Occasionally Strikes Them at Great Depths. Among the mane- unsolved mysteries concerning the interior of Mother eearth few are more fascinating than those brought to light by certain sur- prising experiences of drillers of deep wells. Although many people are not aware of the fact, a large proportion of the wells sunk to depths below 1,000 feet encounter large bodies of salt wa- ter, the flow of which may be so great that the .1riller remarks that he has struck the Gulf of Mexico or some other immense body of salt water. The salt water may even flow out of the well, but more commonly it rises in the well to a height of several hun- dred feet above the bottom, and its supply is so great that only a pump of enormous capacity can keep the well empty. Where does this salt water come from? It is often assumed that it fills some immense cavity or system of crevices, but itt fact it is generally contained in some bed of unusually porous rock, though minute, Lave an aggregate volume or capacity of mil- lions of cubic feet. But one question is no sooner an- swered than another one, more diffi- cult, arises, and the question now is, How did this salt water get into the porous rock? Has rain water soaked far down in the earth and found some bed of rock salt which it dissolved and thereby become salty; or had the salt water some source far within the earth, from which it had arisen to- ward the surface or is it the water of nome ancient Ocean that tilled the pores of the sand and mud of its beta, which in ages gone by became buried. ander sand and mud that gradually accumulated on the ocean bottom? The shells of sea animals found in limestones and other hard rocks at the heart or the continent show clearly that the ocean, in some one or several remote ages, covered a largo part of the country, and it appears extremely Probable that the salt water found in the deep wells is really fossil sea wa- ter entombed in the sande of muds of surface eons and now brought to the surface by the drill, which in innumer- able places in this and other ceuritries is being sunk to depths of two, three, and four thousand feetaand even down (iivzsa4,<*4.1*.4).qwdesliteltoda.043t,ttt the retail price of bran and shorts, where cash is paid, must not exceed by more than ten cents per bag the cost f. o. b. track at the dealer's sta- tion.

SHELDON, NOW The potting of plants must be done with great care. Otherwise they will be lost or will not thrive. A sickly looking plant is a continual reproach. Good soil is the first requirement - good rich loam with a mixture of sand and compost. It must be damp but not wet. Seedings and cuttings should be put in very small pots. In shifting plants from smaller to larger pots a part ojt the surface soil should be rubbed off so that fresh soil may take its place in the larger pot. Soak the 'plant twelve hours before taking out of pot. Scrub the pot. to free it of insects and disease. Try to avoid touching the roots. Always leave an inch between the rim and the surface of the soil. Do not use too large pots. Enough soil should be put in the bottom of the pit to have the top of the ball of earth around the plant on a level with the rim of the pot. Hold the plant in place with the left han.d and fill in the earth with the right hand. The pot should be tapped two or three times to settle the earth, and the soil should be pressed down firm. ly. Pots of different shape, varying ac- cording to the character of root form- ation, are needed for plants. If the roots go down deeply a pot must be used, otherwise a shallow one. It matters little what quality of pot Is used, Two important things are proper soil and drainage. Loam, veg- etable matter and sand should be combined, the loam predominating. Sand is a purifier and sweetener of the soil. Plants with very delicate roots require More vegetable matter than others. Every pot more than four inches In diameter and less than sixshould have an inch of drainage material in the bottom, and that of more than..siX inches should. have more. Broken pottery - or brick, graxel or charcoal may be used for this purpose. Tlie hole in the bottom of the pot should be kept ,freo ,and over the. .drainage material shotild be spread t laYer ef moss to. prevent' the 'earth' frinft s fling down into it. • • " Study your :plants, When ,the stir - taco looks. dry water the ,plants.
