Trvr .no two general sv 5tens of foedir.g ground grains. uutn.nnly kriown a the "wet" and "dr" systems. The former has been in use nncp the early day of the J." lustry. while the latter has only rninp into genoral practice during the last d1ade. There are -advantages, and dS'-tndvantage.H to both systems, and th true nIuo of ea-h ran only be proven by actual practice. As In tho fa."1 of other sy.t':n" in poultrykeepIng, the particular method followed is of minor importance, since the man or woman back of the feed pail controls, to a large extent, the failur or success of the method. Advantages of the Wvt Ma.di. . The general practice followed in the wet system Is to pive a moist ni.i'h. either rooked or raw. at one of the regular feeding period each day. -.'any feeders give it for the morrJng feed, yet there ha always I. eon more or less of a controversy hs to the best time the moist mash fhouM b fed. A number of breeders prefer the r.oon hour, and still -thers grive It for the last feed at right. 'Results tend to show that the tlmo th mash 5s fed has very little Influence on the yield or the heaJth of the hens. Tims the question resolves Itself Into which part of the day is most convenient for the feeder. When moist m;ish feeding is followed the green or succulent food is either Incorporated In the mnsh or fed separately, as in the case of dry mah feeding. Kither method is entirely satisfactory. The advantage, of the wet system pre, first, that all -waste products from the kitchen, such as vegetable parings, scraps of meat, stale bread. Miur milk, and so on. ran be rooked up in an appetizing soup and mixed with the ground gmlns. Thus clean waste, instead of heing consigned to the garbage can. Is utilized for the production of meat and eggs. This means the elimination of waste and th'- economi'- ue of every particle of food. In the present food crisis such a plan would seem well adapted to the suburban tloek. More wdll be said along this iine later. Another advantage !n feeding the mash moist is that it ran be varied from day to day with very little trouble. Variety jn the feed it? greatjy relished by the hens. Anything that ten. Is to mike the feed more palatable Increases production. Again, slime lar.ee quantities of rich waste food are available. It ran h diluted with bran. cut clover, or grass clippings and thus made more suitable for the needs of the Hock. The main disadvantages of feeding moist maph are the danger of under-feeding and the possibility of the mixture souring l e fore the birds clean it tip. The experienced feeder will have little trouble of this kin-l. If plenty of trough room is rot proideI the strongest birds get i full feed and the weaker ones little or nothing. Again, the entire Mock may be underfed until the feeder gains sutticient experience to
X n " W wnat ins rirus require wr a full meal. Many inexperienced feeders will be apt to give too much mash and neglect to remove it after the hirdi have filled up. This generally results in thfir eating sour mash, with the consequent digestive disorders. Mash that is not consumed in minutes should be removed at once. Virtue of tho lry S stent. Th" method of dry mash feeding l:i common uo today sto supply n definite quantity of the whole grains once or twii-e daily, and maintain a supply of cmund trains where the bird ran ha'p themselves at all times. Another method calls for a l;;bt fettling of grain in the morning, d ry ma.-h m troughs at r.oon. ami all tlie whob grain the birds will fat at night. Still a third method consists in supplying both grains ar.d mash in hoppers to v!:i?h the 1 ;rds have r ,-es during various jetb-ds i T th" day.

Tlie Hlack Java made its appearance in America about lS.'O. Early writers mentioned it us belnp of black plumage; others as having a brownish color, while some described it with feathered legs. Many point to the latter as indicating Asiatic origin. The Javas were brought to this country by American ships trading with the far east. Their improvement, however, in uniformity of shape, color and production was acromplished by American breeders. The stock has been used successfully in the production of new breeds, notably the Barred Kock,
and there is a striking resemblance between the Black Java and the Black Orpington. These fowls are classed as general purpose fowls. laying large brown eggs. The hens get broody, sit. hatch and rear chicks, and the latter are usually strong and active, growing rapidly to maturity. When full grown they attain eight to 10 pounds for males, and six and onehalf to seven and one-half pounds for females. They are t'ocile and readily eonlined. Their greenishplumage does not soil easily, a quality that makes the Black Java desirable for the backyard tlock.
any waste or left-overs. Dry ground grains keep sweet until every particle is consumed. "Which System to Choo As previously stated, the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems have practically no bearing on the question of which one the feeder should choose. Each system supplies the needs of the fowls In different ways, and the choice between the two Is largely a matter of conditions under which the poultry is kept. For general purposes the writer believes that the moist system should he followed by poultrykeepers who have mall flocks. In order that every bit of clean waste from the kitchen may be utilized to the bent advantage. The dry mash system is recommended for farm flocks, large suburban flocks and commercial poultry farms. reeding the Dozen Hen Hock. In our present effort to supply the world with food, every consumer who becomes a producer is doing his or her share to help win the tight. This "hhare" may be ever so small for the individual, but if every home that possibly can will keep a dozen or more hens, the aggregate increase in poultry products for the country will be enormovH. This is a form of patriotic service of vital Importance. Government officials tell us there is an animal waste of $700.0(0,000 in foodstuffs in the American home. Our problem now Is to convert this waste into eggs and meat. A good feeding schedule for the dozen hen flock consists of scratch feed morning and night and a moist mash of table scraps and ground grains at noon. For the morning
feed of grain give a liberal handful to every three hens. This should be scattered in a litter of shavings, straw, parking material or any similar material that is available, so that the fowls will be compelled to exercise to get the grains. In the preparation of the moist mash for the noon feed the kitchen refuse from the previous dav should be put
! in a kettle and cooked. When feedj ing time comes take one quart of J equal parts of bran and cornnieal
ana aau enougn or tne cooKea porridge to mak the mass crumbly, not sticky. If there is a good quantity of stale bread crusts, these can be used In plnce of the bran and meal. About two quarts of the moist mash is suflicient for a flock of 12 hens. The mash should be removed from the birds after it has been before them .".0 minutes. Whatever is left can be put back into the porridge pot for the next day. At the night feed give all the grain the birds will dfm "P- If" there is a liberal quantity of potato parings or other vegetables in the porridge, no other green food will be required. Water, grit, oyster shell and a little charcoal should be provided at all times.
No form of livestock responds so well to inexperienced care as
poultry, (live a flock of fowls only reasonable attention and it will reward the keeper with abundant returns. The beginner's chances for success will
be discussed in next week's ar- v tide.

Lane says: "After 11 months the association can report satisfactory progress by having eliminated a total of 50 cows which failed to show usefulness as dairy animals by the scales and Babcock test. About 30 more have been spotted as undesirables and it is thought that high prices will force their owners to part with them sooner or later. "The high returns for butcher stuff has had the gratifying result of persuading a few dairymen to part with scrub pure bred stock. It will be a great gain for all dairymen, when those who have these kind of animals and have put an excessive valuation on them for other reasons. than real dairy merit, send such to the block and make an effort to keep their pure breds up to the be?t standards of the breed."

Don"t ignore the asparagus bed. now that the cutting season is over. It lias given you its food contribution; now see that it has plant food to make a good growth of foliage. Fertilize and cultivate well now to insure that strong, healthy growth which is essential to a good yield of t-hoots next spring. That timely advice for gardeners is contained in a new publication of the United States department of agriculture, farmers bulletin S29. asparagus, which deals with asparagus growing both on a commercial scale and in the home garden. The bulletin discusses the culture of this vegetable, its various diseases, forcing, canning, and also good methods of marketing. IVitilir After Cutting s'a.on. After the cutting season the ridges should be leveled and the asparagus bed thoroughly cultivated, says the writer of the bulletin. A good highgrade fertilizer then should be upplied at the rate of 1,000 to l.r.00 pounds to the acre. A fertilizer containing two to four percent of nitrogen, six to eight percent of phosphoric acid. and six to eight percent of potash will give good results. Muriate of potash and kainit are preferable to sulphate of potash. Where tlie land is already heavily manured, the nitrogen may be left out of the fertilizer mixture. The fertilizer to be applied should be distributed broadrast over the bed or in a strip on either side of the row and thoroughly mixed with the surface soil by harrowing or cultivation. Flat cultivation should be practiced after the cutting season. Preparing For Winter. In many sections the asparagus plants are cut down as soon as the berries turn red. and after drying sufficiently they are burned to destroy any disease germs fir inseVts that may be present. In regions where severe freezes occur it is doubtful whether the cutting and burning of asparagus tops is advisable. The old tops hold the snow and prevent deep freezing and the blowing of soil. Some growers thoroughly harrow the bed after the tops are removed, others throw a slight ridge over the row. but ridging is not necessary unless there is langer of injury by severe freezing during the4 winter. Where land is inlined to wash. cultivating and ridging in the fall are objectionable. Careful handling often will get a high grade and a relatively high price for grain and hay which otherwise would grade low and sell slow, say specialists of the Fnited States department of agriculture. It is worth while for producers to keep this fact in mind now that the harvest season for grain and hay is approaching jn many sections. The supply of the best grades of grain and hay on the market is always light. This frequently may be attributed directly to poor handling and care. Quality always demands the best price, hence the greatest care should be exercised in harvesting and storing. Practical Jlay and drain Hints. Do not store damp grain or hay unless you have adeouate faeilitics for frequent "turning" otherwise they are likely to go out of condition. Few farmers realize how small a percentage of moisture will cause otherwise good grain or hay to heat and deteriorate. Never bale damp hay. If your grain contains a large percentage of foreign material, clean it. It keeps better. Feed low grades and screenings on the farm. Do not mix varieties. In mos.t cases it can be avoided. It nearly always causes the commodity you are selling to grade low. Marketing and Storage Suggestions. Remember at all times that there is nearly always a better markot for clean, dry, and unmixed varieties of grain or hay than for that which is damp, dirty, musty, moldy and off color. Regin now to arrange for proper harvest and care of the coming corn crop. Remember deterioration of your crop this year because of careless handling and storage will mean an enormous loss both to you and the country. Rcgin now to study your probable fee I requirements for the coming year, and determine what quantity you will require and whether you will retain enough to meet your needs or purchase it. Take Care of Next Year's Seed. While it appears that there will be plenty of good seed winter wheat, seed winter rye, and seed of other fall-sown crops if the available supply is properly distributed, everyone who is contemplating sowing an acreage of any of these crops this fall should provide for his seed supply as soon as possible. It will be necessary to ship seed wheat into sections where th wheat winterkilled badly. In other sections which produced a good crop, the best of that crop should be conserved either on the farms or In country elevators to meet the local and distant demands for seed purposes. If this precaution Is taken there will be no need of sowing wheat, procured at the last minute, which, though of commercial value for milling, feeding, or other industrial purposes, is unfit for use as seed. He who saves for himself for sowing, or aids his neighlors or others in securing seed that he knows to be good is rendering the patriotic service of facilitating increased production. In order that they may render

AIL J.
A Frank Discussion of the Serious Situation that is certain to confront this country this Fall and Winter if. Everyone waits for Lower Prices
I
TN presenting this series of talks to the public, we stated distinctly
that our purpose was not to sell coal, but to give information. However, we feel that it is a duty to ourselves and a service to
the public to point out now how serious a situation is certain to develop in the Fall and Winter from the fact that everyone is waiting to buy their coal in the hope of lower prices.
Every retail coal merchant knows that it i3 a physical impossibility to deliver coal to every one at once. Even under ordinary conditions, when a large part of the coal has been delivered during the summer months, every man, every team and every wagon is taxed to the utmost to care for the normal fall demand. This year, when colder weather comes, EVERY ONE WHO HAS WAITED IS GOING TO WANT COAL ALL AT ONCE, and with every available force, no retail coal merchant in the state will have men enough nor wagons enough to handle the business. The situation will bo all the more serious because the conscription for war service will take many of the men who would otherwise be handling coal. There will be a force below normal to take care of what will unquestionably be the greatest demand for quick delivery of coal that the retail merchant has ever experienced. WITH EVERY ONE WAITING UNTIL FALL TO BUY COAL, THE SITUATION THAT WE PREDICT IS ABSOLUTELY INEVITABLE, AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE SURE TO SUFFER FOR WANT OF COAL. In an appeal to the Producers of Coal on Jvly 18, the Indiana State Council of Defense, through a special committee, said: "THE CONSUMPTION OF COAL IS VASTLY INCREASED ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAR. WE SPEAK SOBERLY AND NOT AS'ALARMISTS WHEN WE SAY THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL CHANCE OF A COAL SHORTAGE. INDEED, WE ARE AFRAID OF SUCH A SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER THAT GREAT BODIES OF OUR PEOPLE WILL SUFFER GRIEVOUSLY AND THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR WILL BE IMPAIRED." Every retail coal merchant probably has a certain supply of coal on hand now, bought in April, May and June. He had to have coal for summer delivery, to do his part toward solving the coal problem for next winter. Ho couldn't wait for lower prices. Shoveled Pocahontas, for instance, cost him in these spring months $4.00, $4.50, $5.00, $5.50, $6.00 and even $7.00 a ton at the mines. Whatever the reasons for these prices may have been, HE HAD TO PAY THE PRICE OR HE DID NOT GET THE COAL. Suppose we see just where the retail coal merchant stands. In most instances, purchases were probably divided over these three months, so that the average cost at the mine may be figured at $5.00 to $5.50 a ton. Add to this the freight rate of $1.65 a ton, unloading charge of 15 cents a ton, and the handling expense, covering the loading of the wagons at the yards, the unloading at destination, wages, feed for horses, repairs on wagons and har
ness, selling and operating expense, which, according to figures compiled a year ago, average $1.65 a ton. (With higher wages, higher prices of feed and increased costs in every item of handling expense, the figures would be higher today.) It will be seen that, on the basis of these figures, every ton of shoveled Pocahontas on hand, when sold and delivered, actually represents a total cost of $8.45 to $8.95 to the man from whom you buy your coal. Compare " a price he asks with this cost ar.d docide for yourself whether there is any unreasonable profit for him. AS A NECESSARY FACTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF COAL, THE RETAIL COAL MERCHANT APPRECIATES THOROUGHLY HIS RESPONSIBILITY IN THE PRESENT CRISIS. HE DOES NOT ASK AN UNREASONABLE PROFIT. HE EARNESTLY DESIRES TO FURNISH COAL TO THE PUBLIC AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES. THESE PRICES, HOWEVER, MUST BE BASED UPON WHAT HE IS COMPELLED TO PAY FOR HIS COAL AND THE EXPENSE OF HANDLING IT. If every one is going to have coal this winter, the coal on hand now must go into the cellars and binj of the consumer. Otherwise, with limited yard capacities, it will be impossible for the retail coal merchant to handle the additional coal that must come in for the fall demand. What this additional coal will cost he does not know. He hopes that it will be less, but he has no more assurance than the public that the prioes are going to be lower. The only man who will be absolutely sure of having coal this winter is the man who buys it now. He may pay a little more for it than later in the year, but he will have it in his cellar and he can buy with the knowledge that the retail coal merchant has made only a small profit even at the high price which he is compelled to ask. If, as a result of this statement, you decide to buy your coal now you must buy on your own responsibility. If coal comes down and you find that vou might have saved a little money, do not blame the retail coal merchant. If the condition that we predict should develop, thank the man from whom you buy for giving you an opportunity to get your coal while there was coal to be had. THIS IS THE SITUATION AS WE SEE IT. WE DO NOT WISH TO AD.VISE ANY ONE WHAT TO DO. EACH MUST DECIDE FOR HIMSELF WHETHER TO WAIT FOR THE LOWER PRICES AND GAMBLE ON THE CHANCE OF A COAL SHORTAGE, TO TAKE A MIDDLE GROUND BY BUYING A PART OF HIS WINTER'S SUPPLY AND RUNNING THE RISK ON THE BALANCE, OR TO BUY ALL NOW AND BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF HIS COAL.
This is thf third of a scries of talks about the retail coal business, paid for entirely by th retail coal merchants of Indiana. XO OTHER IXTERFST, CONNECTED EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF ITH THE COAL HUSINESS. IS REPRESENTED IN ANY WAY. We ask that you read these statements and consider the facts that they present in a spirit of fairness to tlie man from whom you buy your coal.
