These boys lack only opportunity to become large contributors to the wealth and' hap piness of our State. "To help such boys, the College started a few years ago a Loan Fund which now amounts to $2,000. Small as this sum is, it has already helped eighty-eight boys through College. These boys could never have received an education, but for this fund, which has been lent on an average of $43 per student. "The Lean Fund is managed in this way: Loans are made only to. poor boj's of character. Each loan is se cured by a properly endorsed note, and bears 6 per cent, interest.

Three Constituents Needed. In supplying feed' to fowls there are-three kinds of constituents which should be present in certain fairly well fixed . proportions if the desired results are to be obtained most eco nomically. These constituents are mineral, x nitrogenous, .and carbonace ous, all of which are contained in corn, wheat, oats and barley, but not in the right proportions to give the greatest egg yield. In addition some animal feed and green feed should be supplied. In- feeding poultry a valuable lesson may be learned from nature. In the spring the production of eggs on the farm is an easy matter. Fowls which are at liberty to roam find an abund ance of green and animal feed on their range, which with grain furnishes a perfect ration for laying hens. In addition ! to this they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. So far as lies within his power, then, the feed er should aim to make the winter con ditions springlike.
