HOW TO FEED HENS TO GET MORE EGGS New Purdue Circular Gives Valuable Information for Chicken Owners. Grains, mash, animal feeds, minerals, succulence and water are necessary to supply the nutrients to make eggs, and it is proper balance of these feeds that makes the good laying rations of a hen. This statement is contained in Circular No. 101, issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue university. Its author, Prof. A. G .Phillips, gives a detailed explanation of each point and what is nec-

MANY THINK POLICE CHIEF IS WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA FROM AMOUNT OF MAIL RECEIVED

Messages teeming with human interest, tales from life’s other side, stories of separated families, instances of pathetic circumstances, are included in the mail reaching Joel Reynolds, chief of police, daily. The search for a mother, a daughter in Chicago, yearning for a renewal of the companionship whch fate burst, the missive being received a few days ago, emphasizes the human interest in the chief's communications. When the police head opens his mail he faces a more varied list of subjects than any other person in the city. “Every envelope holds a story all its own,” briefly describes the billets. There is cheap stationery, a note written by an aged woman, who uses a lead pencil to picture her woe. One must often peer between the lines to grasp its importance. Frequently these relate to the girl with the fatal gift of beauty, reaching an age when she craves excitement, longing for the bright lights, the cabarets, night life with its consequent verdict of broken health, the repehtance; the longing for her, the spirit of forgiveness—-

essary to see that Biddy gets a proper amount of each. "Grains are rich in carbohydrates and fats are used primarily to produce fat, heat, energy and yolk of the eggs. They contain a low percentage of protein and so when fed alone produce excess fat, hut very few eggs," reads the'bulletin. Always feed grain in a deep straw litter.. In order to get the surplus food to convert into eggs, the hens must got some animal feeds ns tankage, meat scraps, skim milk, or buttermilk. At the Purdue experiment stattion any of these feeds in the ration increased the production of 100 eggs per hen during the year. The choice of one over the other may depend on price, convenience in handling, etc. Several experinments showed that hens receiling no animal feed produced 59.35 eggs per year; those with meat scraps in the ration laid 179 eggs a year and thise with tankage 183 eggs per year. All hens were of the same stock and breed and possessed the same laying ability. Mash is a mixture of finely ground feeds made largely from mill byproducts. It carries the bulk of the protein of the ration, provides for the rebuilding of worn-out body tissue and the white of the egg. The mash in the ration serves two functions. It is palatable as grain and if fed dry is seldom oxereaten. This permits it to be fed in an open hopper before the fowls at all times. Bran shorts and salt are used in the mixtture.. Grit is a sort of “hen’s teeth.” It is not a feed, as it is so hard the hens cannot digest it, but it is used to help grind feed. Succulence of green feeds act as a tonic, aids digestion, acts as an appetizer and laxative. Water before the fowls all the time is necessary for best results. All of these points, essentials in feeding hens for successful egg production. are discussed in detail in the circular which may be obtained free from the experiment station at I.afayette, Ind.. George Schug of Wabash college is spending several days, between semesters at the home of his parents in this city, Mr. and Mrs. John Schug.

these are the points that cause one to think deeply. There are a few letters of appreciation received. Those who benefit through the energetic efforts of the police take it as a matter of course, it is seldom they believe it is satisfying to mail a thankful message. No letter is tossed aside. Each one is given careful consideration. There is the adventurous lad. The boy weary of school life, who is anxious to get his excitement in the far west.. If the chief is able to give even slight information about him, then there is joy, hapiness for the mother who may have given up hope. The couple stranded on the uncertain rock of domestic partnership furnish work for the police. The information is quietly secured. There is the answer. Probably it means another start —All these are important cogs in the police machinery which grinds day and night.. Part of the mail concerns escaped prisoners. These are sent out from sheriff’s offices, penitentiaries and prisons. They are descriptive circulars relating to escapes.
