News Review of Current Events the World Over ■ ; ■ ' a Col. Lindbergh’s Baby Is Found Murdered —Senators Drop Political Squabbles to Revive Mr. Hoover's Economy Program. By EDWARD W. PICKARD

fXILONEL LINDBERGH’S stolen ■ baby was murdered, probably ■ooa after the kidnaping, The body of the infant, badly, decomposed and with fractures of the skull, was found, partly covered with leaves and debris, near a road In the Sourland hills less than five miles from the Lindbergh estate. Physicians said the little boy had been dead for at least two months, lie was stolen from his nursery on the night of March 1. $ The finding of the body was accidental. It was discovered by William Allen, a negro truck driver, and three companions who stopped by chance at that particular place and, stepping into the. woods,' discovered the little rteletop. Identification wasi soon established by the of clothing, the'nurse. Betty Gow. assisting in this. The skull was fractured on both sides, one break poss bly being ■ bullet hole. With the finding of the baby's body the BUthoritjies were -freed from all restraint in their efforts Io capture the kidnapers and murderers, Col. 11. ' Norman Schwartzkopf, head .of Ute New Jersey state police, said they had a group of jiersdns under suspicion nnd that immediate 'slops would be taken to n< con plish tlo' r arrest. The sear.fi fori jhese erm Meat criminals is country wide and it is certain n<> mercy will be shown them if they are caught. Undoubtedly senators and rep. n-sen’.atives .have, been hearing from the home folks as well ns front President Hoover on the matter of legislations lesigned to

Republican, was made chairman, the other members beifig Bingham of Connecticut and Dlcklnaon pf lbw*. Republicans; and Byrnes of Routh Carolina. McKellar of Tennessee and Bratton of Mew Mexico, Democrats. The President Immedii fely Invited these gentlemen to breakfast with him and they all discussed plans to Mirage the economy bill which the house ruihed and tosaeedup the passage of the revenue raising bill which was. being debated In the senate. 'Savings of more than >230.000.000 are regarded necessary by the administration above Its cut of >369.000.000 In the budget estimates for next year. This curtailment should permit the S!,OOOi.OOO,OOC tax bill to make ends meet Ip lfß3.

Repntv llcan leader, put his full. Influence he hind the tax measure and said he was confident that It. as well, as the economy legislation, would be passed by a dominant notion rt I san combination The revenue bill was reported to the senate by the finance committee In the form agreed upon after, a conference with Secretary of the Treasury Milla. It raises the Income tax and corporation rates above the Increases voted by the house. It repeals many of the special excise levies provided by the house and loss In revenue with a rubber! Import duty, higher automobile levies and greater admission taxes. Four other tariff Items—oil. coal, ‘copper and lumber—remain in the bill. SENATOR ROhINSOM, Democratic leader of the'senat *. put forward his scheme for providing >2.306.000.000 for the relief of unemployment, and President Hoover Indorsed It in principle. The President then outlined his own proposals In this line, under which the Reconstruction Flna ice corporation would loian not to exceed $ 1.500.000,000 for the various purpoeei contemplated. Os this amount, from >250.000.000 to J31M1.000.000 would be leaned to states for the relief of unemployment distress and the remainder would be loaned to public and private agencies to aid In the financing of “income producing" construction projects.' To procure funds for this undertaking the Reconstruction Finance corporation would be authorised to sell debentures In the amount of >1.500.000.000. For this purj>ose Rs borrowing. power would be increased to >3.000.000.000. Neither the Robinson nor the Hoover plan was eothusiastlcnlly received by Democratic senators. IN THE Interest* of economy and fairneM to all civilians. President Hoover vetoed a bill!'providing hospital ixa lion and the privileges of the soldiers' homes to civilian* who served In the quartermaster corps during the war with Spain, the j*hllippine Insurrection and the China relief expedition. The President vetoed a similar measure last year. “I cannot concur lb a proposal to single out' one class of civilian employees who served during certain

periods of hostilities and confer upon them a right to the benefit of hospitalization and domiciliary care provided by law for veterans of our wars," said Mr. Hoover in his veto message. CARTER GLASS, the strenuous senator from Virginia, fighting to put through his banking reform bill, created something, of a sensation by asserting that certain Chicago bankers, whom he did aot name, had “hired some congressmen" to oppose the McFadden branch banking bill several years ago. and also had employed a skillful lobbyist at a high salary. He declined to name the congressmen, too Representative Morton D. Hull of Illinois, who. was Active in opposing the McFadden bill in the behalf of the-Chicago banks, would nbt discuss the Glass charges but Indignantly denied having been hired. The lobbyist in question. E. N. Baty, said he acted as executive secretary of the Chicago and Cook County Bankers' association and received only his regular salary. OHIO'S primaries put that state into the «t-t column, and may mean that there will be a prohibition referendum plank In ,the Republican national platform. Attorney General Gilbert Bettman easily won the Republican nomination for senator on an anti-prohibition platform, leading Louis J. Tuber, dry, master of the National Grange, by about i votes. Next November Bettman win face Robert J Buckley, wet Democratic Incumbent, who was renominated without opposition. David S.- Ingalls, assistant secretary of the navy for aeronautics, who made repeal his Issue, won the Republican gubernatorial nomination from Secretary of Saute Clarem e J. Brown, dry. and his nearest opponent In a four cornered yace. Ingalls will run In November against Governor White. Detn ocrat, who favors a prohibition referendum. The governor will be the favorite son of the Ohio Democrats for the Presidential nomination. FRANCE’S elections and the assassination of President Doumer gave the republic a new" chief executive and there will soon be a new premier. Albert Fran-

cols Lebrun was elected president and installed at once. Only a Communist and a Socialist opposed him. and he received 633 of the 824 votes In the Joint session of the chamber of deputies and the senate. Premier T a r d 1 e u. whose support was riddled in the_ elect lon s. immediately

A. F. Lebrun

tendered his resignation, tout was persmuled to hold on until about the.first of June, when a new cabinet will be formed. . There Is little doubt that the new premier will be Edouard Herriot, leader of the Radical S'K-lallst party, which was the biggest winner in the elections. The Socialists also made considerable gains, if thpy do not work In co-dperatlon with Herriot, he may have to make .a deal with the moderate right wing headed by Tardleu. It'Anight he well again to call attention to the fact that Radical Socialists of France are really neither very radical nor actually Socialists, but are liberals with a program for the aid of agriculture. Industry and commerce. It Is not likely that there will be any decided change tn France's International policies under Herriot MAJ. GEN. ENOCH CROWDER’S distinguished career came to an end with his death In i Walter Reed hospital, Washington. The general who was a legal expert, was the creator of the draft system used by the United States In the World war. He also was Judge advocate general of the arsnly and in 1917 was detailed as provost marshal general. In 1923 he was appointed ambassador to Cuba and resigned in 1927. FULFILLING expectations. President Hoover vetoed the so-called Democratic tariff bill, which transferred from him to congress the power to make changes in tariff rates ns recommended by the tariff commission. The roll was called In the house and U was found the proponents of the measure could not muster the two-thirds majority necessary to override the veto. MRS. HATTIE W. CARAWAY, senator from Arkansas—the only woman ever elected to the senate —has announced her candidacy for a full six-

vHErmmw.... Sen. Caraway

year term. The political leaders in her home state were surprised. and Gov. Harvey Parnell gave, up hla ambition to wear a toga, declaring he would retire from politics at the end of his term. However, Mrs. Caraway has plenty of opposition in the- primary of August 9, for there are six other candidates

for the Democratic nomination for senator. The winner, of course, will be elected in November, Some of her rivals are veterans In public office and prominent in state politics. The other day Vice President Curtis wished to leave the senate chamber, and he called on Mrs. Caraway to the chair, thus making history, for never before had a woman presided over the senate. She sat In dignity but • bad nothing to do.

ALBERT B. FALL, former secretary of the Interior, has served out his time tn the New Mexico penitentiary and returned to his ranch home at Three Rivers, N. M. To a reporter Mr. Fall declared that time would vincidate the naval oil reserve plans he made when In office and that were the cause of all his troubles. It only needed some war scare like the Sino-Japanese situation, he said, to teach the people the value of the Honolulu oil base which he championed. GASTON B. MEANS was Indicted by the grand Jury iu Washington on charges of having swindled Mrs. Edward B. McLean out of $104,000 by

promising to procure the return of Colonel Lindbergh’s kidnaped baby. While the grand Jurors were hearing that story, there came out a tale of another poss ib I e victim of Means, also a wealthy and prominent worn an—Mrs. Finley Shepard of New York, the former Helen Gould. The Lindbergh baby did not figure In the alleged swindling of

Gaston B. Means

Mrs. Shepard. The story, hinted at by District Attorney Leo A. Rover while arguing over Means’ bond in the Meaffair, was that Means was paid by the New York woman after he represented that he could give her information on Communist activities which might threaten her daughter or her fortune. ' It was said that the Justice department has Investigating the allegations concerning the New York woman for weeks; that Mrs. Shepard and her family received threatening letters from individuals signing themselves “agents of Moscow," and that Means undertook, last winter, to furnish protection. Lieut, and mrs. massif, and Mrs. Fortescue sailed away from Honolulu, despite the efforts of the local authorities to make Mrs. Massie remain to testify in the second tri;.* of the men accused of attacking her. Prosecutor J. C. Kelley declared himself determined to press the retrial, the absence of the complaining witness. . He said if she did not appear in court on May 25 he would‘ask a warrant for her arrest, which, however, would be of no effect on the mainland. SENATOR TASKER L. ODDTE of Nevada, Republican, brought upon himself the wrath of the Democrats nnd some of the Republicans when,

V It *"4 Sen. Oddie

as chairman of the post office committee, he urged his resolution rescinding the senate's order to cut the treasury and post office appropriations 10 per cent It was intimated that he was especially Interested in saving the jobs of several thousands of customs inspectors and postal employees who would be useful

td the -Republican party during the campaign. It was brought out that Senator Oddie had taken it on himself as chairman of the appropriations subcommittee in charge of the treasury and post office bill to decide that a 10 per cent cut was “impossible." Senators Kenneth McKellar (Dem.. Tenn.) and Carter Glass (Dem.. Va.j. both of whom have contended the savings could be made without discharging nn employee, asserted. that for two weeks Senator Oddie had refused to call the subcommittee together. When Mr. Oddie maintained it was his right to determine when the committee should meet he was heartily Jeered. JOII f \ MOTLEY MOREHEAD. American minister to Sweden, appeared before the senate Judiciary committee and recommended modification of the Eighteenth amendment to permit a form of state liquor control similar to the Bratt system which has been In force . in Sweden z for fifteen year*. Since hl* appointment to the Stockholm post In 11)30 Mr. Morehead has made a careful study of the system and is con vlnced that it is successful and satisfactory. The State department consented to his appearap.ee before the committee. To make possible adoption of the Swedish system here Morehead recommended another amendment to the Constitution permitting states wishing to license liquor to do so through legislation and allowing dry state* to remain that way. The minister labeled unwise or Impossible all proposal* for nullification of the liquor law*, repeal of the Eight, eenth amendment and modification of the Volstead act. He argued that satisfactory enforcement of the present liquor laws was .virtually impossible. Turning to the Bratt system, he testified that Its success rest* upon the provision that al) personal Interest and profit I* removed from the liquor business. all profit* accruing to the government. with the trade put on a “scientific basis." THERE Is no longer any doubt a* to Germany's intention concerning reparations. The reich does not mean to pay any more. First Chancellor Bruenlng in a public address declared Germany could not continue paying reparations, and explained at length why this was so. The next day Finance Minister Dietrich presented budget recommendation* to the reich stag, and in them fhere wa. found no provision whatever for reparations pa. ments. though >166,000,000 was ear marked for Interest and amortisation on funded floating debts and repara tion* loans. The new budget la bal anced at nearly >2.000.000.000. Communist members demanded a government investigation Into Germany's part in the financial transactions of the late Ivar Kreuger. Swedish Industrialist They declared they sus pected “criminal manipulations" were involved in the German match mon-, opoly. (©, ISM. Wesurn Newspaper Vnloa.)

~ IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson (By BBV. P. a FITZWATER. D. D.. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Inetltute of Chicago.) (©. 1*32. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for May 22 JACOB AND ESAU RECONCILED LESSON TEXT—Genesis 33:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another. ■ even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. r PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Brothers' End a Quarrel. JUNIOR TOPIC —Esau Forgives His Brother. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—RlKhting a Wrong. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Cultivating Peace at Home and Abroad. From Bethel, Jacob went to Padanaram ti/his mother's people. Here he served Laban, his uncle, for twenty years; fourteen year for his wives, Leah and Rachel, and six' years for certain wages. In his dealings Laban he found his match. 1 I. Jacob Departs for Canaan (31:11-21).. t The time had come for Jac<JWto go back to his kindred in the Land of ■ Canaan. This he did according to the I Lord's instruction to him (v. 13). I Though going forward under divine : direction, his Jacob nature caused him ■ to take clandestine leave of Laban. ! When Laban realized the situation, he : went in hot pursuit of him. but God I appeared unto him In a dream and ■ warned him against any act of violence toward Jacob. They formed a I compact and Laban returned home. 11. Jacob's Experience on the Way (ch. 32). Laban's return freed Jacob from the enemy who was pursuing him. but he faced a more formidable enemy in The person of Esau from whose wrath he had tied twenty years before. I 1. Jacob meeting the angels (vy. |-8). Two camps of angels met him to give him the assurance that God would be with him according to prom-, ise. Notwithstanding this. Jacob continued to scheme. He sent a deputation before him with a message of 1 good cheer to Esau. 2. Jacob praying (vv. 9-12), Esau } made no reply to Jacob's message, but went forward with an army of four hundred strong-to met Jacob. In his distress. Jacob cast himself upon God in prayer, short, direct, and earnest. a. He reminded God of his command issued for his return and also of the covenant promise (Gen. 31:3). b. He pleads God's promise as to his personal safety (v. 9. cf. Gen. 28:13-15. 31-33). In praying to God we should definitely plead his promises in his Word on the ground of covenant relationship in Christ. c. He confesses his unworthiness (v. 10). In this Is shown the proper spirit of humility, d. He—presents definite petitions (v. 11). He laid before the Lord the definite request to be delivered from the wrath of Esau. 3. The angel of the Lord wrestling with Jacob (vv. 24-32, cf. .Hos. 12:3, 4). In God's school of discipline Jacob' was making some improvement, but he was still under the sway of self-will and self-trust. Though he had laid the matter definitely before the Lord., he thought that his scheming would render God some assistance. Accordingly. he sent presents ahead to appease the anger of Esau. While o‘fi this Journey a man met him and wrestled with him. but Jacob knew not who he was. Perhaps he thought that Esau had jounced upon him In the darkness. He exerted every ounce of Strength tn what he thought was the Struggle for his very life. The morning was approaching and still the wrestlers continued. Jacob not knowing that it was the Lord manifest in human form. He did not dare enter the promised land under the control of his self-sufficiency. His self-will must be broken—his Jacob nature must be changed. He was humbled by the dislocation of his thigh. When thus humbled, he quit wrestling and clung to God. He got the blessing when he. conscious of his weakness, laid hold upon God. ? 4. Jacob gets a new name (v. 28). He was no longer Jacob the “supplanter," but Israel, a “prince with God.” Jacob had an experience at the Jabbokwhich wrought a mighty change In him. His new name was given him after he had a new nature. Jacob came to realize that he had been struggling with God, for he called the place "Peniel.” which means "face to face with God.” Jacob wrestled most of the night with God. but It was only when he yielded and laid hold of God that he got the blessing. HI. Jacob Meets Esau (33:1-11). God had evident wrought with Esau for when Jacoh approached him the sting of bitterness was gone. It was not Jacob's scheming that removed Esau's anger, but the action of God upon his heart. At Jahbok, Jacob got right With God, so when he met Esau It was an easy matter to get right with him. It Is easy to get right with our brother when once we are right with God.

<77ie JDAIRX, SQUARE DEAL FOR HERD SIRE URGED Safety and Profit Found in Proper Bull Pen. e Dairy bulls are not getting a square deal, figured from the standpoint of the owner’s financial welfare. No herd sire should be pampered. Sentiment is wasted on a bull, according to Prof. H. A. Hopper of the New York State College of Agriculture. Neither should a bull be abused and kept under such conditions as thousands of them have to endure. This treatment saps their vitality, makes them useless as breeders, and converts sullen bulls almost certainly into mankilling monsters, he says. Many bulls are kept through the wfhter and often throughout the year ■'m close confinement under unsanitary conditions. Others are turned out with the herd In summer for exercise. These practices are bad. he says, because they either shorten the life of the sire and impair his usefulness or they endanger the lives of all persons who care for him. Proper care should provide two things: to keep the health and vigor, and to insure absolute safety. ' . Any bull worth keeping represents a considerable investment. He should be a good individual, have a record backing much better than that of any cow in the herd, and as an investment he may represent the combined value of two or three cows. Such an im vestment is worthy of a safe bull pen. to maintain health and vigor, and the safety of the owner. With such a pen <a bull may be fed, watered, the stall’ cleaned, and cows bred without danger to-the attendant. Herd Refused to Drink. Water That Was Impure The water supply of the dairy herd Is an often unsuspected source of trouble. The story has been vouched for of a farmer who could not make an,apparently good herd of grade Holsteins milk even respectably well and this in spite of the fact that he was feeding well. When he turned the cows out to drink at the stock tank the j cause was revealed. Although! the cows ran for the tank and evidently were very thirsty they would take only a small drink and then turn away. The water looked as clear and nice as water can look, but It tasted terrible. The drainage from the barnyard had polluted the well so seriously that the cows would not drink, although the appearance was not harmed. man had to drill 200 feet before he got a supply of water, but once the water was good the cows responded normally to good feeding. In other cases that have been reported, trouble was traced to the sediment that had been allowed to accumulate over a long period of time. One cannot be too certain that the water supply Is all that it should be. Soybean Oil Meal The use of soybean oil meal should appeal as strongly to the dairyman who has to purchase protein feed as to any other producer of live stock. Its palatability and the superior qualftV of its protein are of equal Importance ’to him as to the producer of beef. lamb, poultry and eggs. All proteins, which are composed of amino acids, do not have the same nutritional -value and for that reason a protein concentrate composed of proteins from several different sources has a higher value as a supplement for carbohydrate grains than onq carrying pfoteln from a single source. However. where for any reason one supplementary protein carrier must be relied upon for balancing a ration, soybean oil meal ranks very high for that purpose because of the character of Its content of amino acids.—Wisconsin Agriculturist. Color Carries Vitamin - Recent studies made at the University of Porto Rico under the auspices of Columbia university. Rockefeller foundation. Indicate that vltdmfn A tn annatto seed is the richest source available. When this Is used in coloring butter, it adds to the value of the butter as a food. When an annatto coloring is used, it overcomes objections commonly made, because of the fact that It does Increase the vitamin content. Thus, as butter loses color In the summer months, a greater supply of this color can be added and thereby Improve the butter. “If the discovery proves to be true, as no doubt it will. It will add merit to butter throughout the months when cows are on dry feed," says W. F. Jensen. secretary American Association Creamery Butter Manufacturers.— Prairie Farmer. — Bull Pen Important More than 600 Indiana dairymen have constructed bull pens according to plans furnished by Purdue university. Iron pipe, iron rods, heavy lumber, wooden poles and heavy woven wire have all been used successfully. Wooden posts, concrete posts and iron pipes have all been used as posts. At least 1,000 square feet is recommended as providing enough space for a bull pen. Such a pen is health insurance for the sire and life insurance for the owner.—Prairie Farmer. Uses for Skimmilk Skinpmilk is worth 25 cents per 100 pounds for pigs when corn is worth 40 cents a bushel and tankage is worth S4O a ton. With tankage at SSO, the skimmilk Js worth 26 cents. Great feed for poultry, too, skimmilk is. Running the milk through a separator, even If the total cash income is no greater, gives you the skimmilk for feeding and does away with the rush of getting the milk to market at a specified time each day, says the Farm Journal

Value of Alfalfa in Crop Rotation Plant’s Supreme Importance to Farm Shown by ' Experiments. “Farmers and stock growers all over the West are finding alfalfa more and more important in their farming operations. I "Alfalfa fills an important place in western systems of crop rotation; it is without a superior as a protein supplying roughage for live stock, and it helps in solving the problem of equal distribution of farm labor.’” With these statesments, John N. Spencer, in charge of seed registration, and T. G. Stewart, extension agronomist, at the Colorado Agricultural college, open their bulletin on "Alfalfa Seed Production.” “Unlike many othpr crops,” they continue, “there is at present no overproduction of alfalfa seed; Among the hardy yariegated varieties there is an actual shortage of seed stocks. The United States Department of Agriculture reports importations of alfalfa seed amounting to 337,000 pounds for 1930. “Approximately 2,000,000 pounds of alfalfa seed are used each year In Colorado, with less than 300,000 pounds being produced. “If alfalfa plants fail to set seed,” it is pointed out, “the farmer still has a hay or pasture crop left and some returns will be secured from the field. It is possible to determine the extent of the seed set in ample time to cut a normal cron should the set of seed appear insufficient. These are many places in the state where seed can be produced with reasonably regularitj and with good average profits over a period of years.” Results Achieved When Feeding for Baby Beef Some interesting facts concerning the differences in feeding beef steer calves and beef heifer calves for baby beef have recently been announced by "the Illinois experiment station. Five months of full feeding will ordinarily put heifer calves in the best condition tor slaughter, whereas, with steer calves, seven months is usually required. . ' The Illinois experiments proved q{?ite definitely that at 700'pounds in weight the baby beef .heifers are fully equal If not somewhat superior to baby steers.. At 5W pounds in weight, however, the baby beef steers have a'slight advantage, because by that time the heifers are slightly overdone. It would seem, from the Illinois experiments, that a definite effort should be mahe to educate - the packers to the fact that discrimination against baby beef heifers at 700 pounds in weight Is not in any way warsanted, and even at 900 pounds In weight, the price discrimination should be very little. — Montreal Family Herald. Mixing Com in Field The safe distance of separation to prevent the mixing of cprn depends very largely on the amount of wind and the prevailing wind. Corn pollen Is very light and in windy weather may be blown quite a distance. It all depends on how far the wind will blow the pollen. Sometimes two kinds J9f corn planted iri the same field may mix where the first half dozen rows of each kind come near each other and the end of the field from which the prevailing wind blows keeps almost entirely free from mixture. That is. if the strongest wind is from the north or west, that eiid Os the field is much more likely to be free from mixture than the other. — Rural New-Yorker. Heavy Erosion Losses Soil specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture deciare that the annual losses of plant food due. to erosion In this country amount to 21 times as much as the plant food consumed in the production of farm crops. Translated Into dollars and based upon the average cost of fertllzer, the losses due to erosion amount to $2,000,000,000 annually. Os this amount, there is evidence to indicate that at least $200,000,000 can be charged up as tangible yearly loss to the farmers of the nation. —Missouri Farmer. Worms in Hogs and Sheep One of the most favorably known and newer drugs in use today among hog and feed men for treatment for worms I* tetrachlorethylene. The value of this material as a worm Oxpoller has been firmly established and indorsed by the leading authorities and in addition to its effective* ness It leaves little or no drug effects. Worm remedies such as tetrachlorethylene should be given tn Individual doses in capsule form to get the best results.—lndiana Farmer’s Guide. Potato Rot The trouble with potatoes rotting is due to a fungous disease that affects potatoes on the leaves and then goes down into the tubers and causes them to rot Spraying the potato crop with bordeaux mixture is a preventive measure. It is commenced when the plants are about six inches high. The spray is put on once a week, gbout for as many as six times, when the disease is bad. There are two rots, the wet and the dry, two different fungi. .. —r L s Look After Lambs The farmer loses money when he delays the Job of trimming the lambs. Early docking and castrating will not only reduce the feed costs but will improve the quality of the lambs. Trimming is getting to be a matter of first importance to the producer of lambs for market In Michigan last year substantial premiums were paid for lambs cared for early. Docking should be done when the lambs are but a few weeks old and castrating soon thereafter.—Nebraska Farmer.

MW YEARLING HEN NOT ALWAYS POOR “BET”' ‘ Many Can Qualify as Profitable Layers. One way farmers anti poultrymen can save this year is to keep most of last year’s pullets so that fewer chicks, will have to be raised, says H. H. Alp, poultry extension specialist of the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. “In some Instances it Is good economy to keep most of last year's pullets. For* one thing, they have gone through their most expensive depreciation. Last fall good pullets sold for $1 to $1.25 apiece, ibut these same birds probably would not sell for more than 50 to 75 cents this spring. This heavy depreciation is all because they have reached the hen class, and 1 in the minds of the buying public they do not represent the potential value of a pullet. “However, many of these yearling hens, if well bred, are far from being through, as profitable layers. It is true that they may not make as high an annual production record, but they can be quitO .as. profitable as many pullets. One big advantage of the production from yearling birds is that there should be no discount for small eggs. “With the present knowledge of feeding nnd of management methods, it is not hard to have yearling birds laying well early in the fall and winter.” t Chicks’ Growth Helped by “All-Mash” System Where dried buttermilk or skim- t milk is mixed in with the mash it enables the chickens to get their source of milk much more evenly than In any other way. This ’also Is a »oD- * derful source of vitamins for young chicks and helps , to give the succulence which would not be obtained If only scratch grains were fed. To sum up the advantages of an all-mash system: It keeps the chicks busier throughout the day; it supplies the chicks with many sources of protein; it enables a better distribution to the chicks of jnilk and the vitamins It gon-tains and, furthermore. It insures a better distrimition to the chicks of the minerals which are so’ essential for uniform growth.—Ex- < change. v Feeding Too Late . It was formerly k common practic* to feed baby chicks too soon after hatching but now many farmers and poultrymen are going to the opposite extreme and waiting tob long before feeding. About 24 hours are required to complete a hatch. Th'at is It will be 24 hours from the time the first chicks hatch until the last ones are mrt of * the shell. If the chicks fed until more than 48 houra/after the hatch is completed sojne-'of the chicks are more than 72 Wurs old before they receive any nourishment. The long wait makes thepa weak and past desire to eat. / - , Forty-eight hours after the hatch 1» completed is now recommended as the maximum amount of time to withhold feeding. For. best results the first feed should be given earlier. e To Get Production In order to keep the pullets in law Ing condition, to get them to gain weight and produce eggs at the same time, J. H. Bodwell, poultry recommends: 1. Make the laying house clean and comfortable, which means have enough roosts, hoppers, fountains, and have plenty of well-ventilated space for the flock. 2. Free the birds of lice, mites and worms before putting them in the house. 3. Darken the house when the flock 7" Is first moved to new quarters to prevent their worrying and losing flesh. 4. Remember that a hen cannot produce eggs without good feed any more than a windmill can turn without wind. , Benefits of All-Mash v An all-mash poultry ration that has given good success at lowa state college is composed of 650 pounds 6f ground yellow corn, 350 pounds »f ground heavy /oats, 100 pounds oY ground wheat, 80 pounds of meat scrap or 60 per cent protein tankage, 20 pounds of dried milk and four pounds, of fine salt.
