FEEDING FOR WINTER F.fiCS
In order to rccurc winter egg-pro
duction it is ABSOLUTELY NECES
SARY THAT THE HENS BE I'KOP
EKLY FED. Fully thrce-fou -ths of
the Kentucky hens do net rro liiv
their maximum bicausp they do
get the tirope- feed to make eg f.
If they are fed only a grain ration
they rhould not be eJtpcrted to pro
duce winter eggs. 'n addition to the
grain a dry mash mixture nmtainin.;
nr anmal product such a meat urap,
lish meal, dried buttc m Ik, ment(
mal, or a high grade of tankage,
added to the mill feeds must be feu.
Feeding Suggestion
It should be remembered that T.o
one ration will fit all cotiditijns. TU
cheapness and availability of the
feeds should be considered. Ready
mixed poultry mashes are very satis
factory, and, if readily available anJ
not too high priced, may be fed.
If corn and cornmeal are tho onlv
available feed ., a dry mash of three
purts cornmeal ard two parts meat
sc-aps should be fed with the whole
i! cracked corn. In this case tho
birds should be made to consume
twice as much grain as mash by
weight. I
Feeding should be done at regular
hcurr, preferably twice a day, onca
in the morning and once in the eve
ning. Keep the water pans clean and
tided with pu-c, fresh water.
If slclm milk is fed, avoid changing
from sweet to sour, or the reverse.
It is best to feed ssur milk continu
ously. While the appetite should always
he kept keen, nevertheless the bir's
should be fed all they want to eat.
Feeding is but one of the four es
sential means of securing high egg
production. The other three are.
pure-bred birds of a high-laying
stiain; strong, vigorous and healthy
birds; and a comfortable house with
plenty of room for exercise. From
this it may be teen that correct j
feeding alone cannot give maximum
egg-production.
Necessity of Meat Feed
The fact that a meat feed is es
sential is clearly brought out by an
experiment covering a period of
twelve month, conducted at the Ken
tucky Experiment Station Poultry
Farm.
Thirty S. C. White Leghorn pul
lets were divided into two pens of
15 each, both pens receiving the same
grain ration. Pen 1 received a mash
of equal parts cornmeal, bran, mid
dlaigs, ground oats and meat meal,
while pen 2 received the same mash
without the meat meal. Pen 2 av
eraged but 23.6 eggs per bird for
the year, while the meat meal pen
averaged 124.2 eggs per bird, show
ing that the addition of meat meal
to the mash increased the egg-production
about five times. Tankage,
which is widely used in hog feeding,
will produce equally as good results
as meat meal.
If sour skim milk or buttermilk Is
readily available, it may be fed In
place of the meat scrap, in which
case it should be kept before th
biids in pans or pails, instead of
drinking water.
To get the best results, 30 hens
should drink about a gallon of milk
a day. If that amount cannot be se
cured, or the birds will not drink
that much, a small percentage of
meat scrap should be added to the
mash.
At the Produce Experiment Sta
tion (Indiana) Phelps fed three peas
of White Plymouth Rock pullets for

Green feed should be fed during
the winter and also during the sum
mer if the birds a-c in confinement.
Some of the best greert feeds are
sprouted oats, mangel beets, cabbage
and kale.
How to Feed
The gra'.n mixture should be scat
tered in a straw litter from six t
ter inches deep; about one-thi-d the
total amount in the morning anJ
two-thirds in the evening. The bird.
should be made to scratch ha-d and
vcrk hard for every grain they get.
The dry mash should be placed in .
hoppe and kept before the birds at
all times.
MAKE LIVE STOCK BETTER
The man who fussef, fumes and
cusses because his live stork dors not
bring the top of the ma-ket usually
has himself to blame. The South
has plenty of live stock; but that
live stock is not good enough to
command the top of the market.
Read this piece of an editorial taken
from the Southern Agriculturist:
But even more than Southern
farms need more five stock, do they
need better live stock and better can
of the stock now on them. Unles
tho quality of your live stock is con
siderably above the average, and un
less you are a better breeder and
caretaker than the average Southern
fa-mer, you need to improve the
quality of your live stock and to givu
your animals better care, even more
than you need to increase the num
ber of them. In fact, the deficiency
in the number of live stock in this
section may be more directly due
than we sometimes think to the
sorry quality of ro many of them and
the poor feeding and care that so
nit-ny of them get.
Our philosopher says: I've heard
m grardfather tell about how the
folks used to have cholera when he:
was a kid. When folks learned to
keep themselves clean inside and out
side, they got shet of the cholera.
I'.'s pretty much the same with hogs.
They ain't very apt to have cholera
if the farmers!! see to it that they're
kept clean inside and outside.
IF all the stray dogs and the curs
were to be exterminated at once, how
many additional farmers would be
gin developing good flocks of sheep?

IIHISTMAS, both In its ritual and in it sentiment, is alio mI
us old as Humanity it.-e.f. As far bark s you can go we
find sunn-thing very li;.e tlie Yulctiile feUival a season
of rcjoieiiig, attended ly a somewhat boisterously joyful
celebration.
About Chribtmns t) rre is nothing th:it even approxi
mates sectarianism or nry kind of nie it.il or social nar
rowness or littleness. Its spirit is as broad as hunvuiity,
and all men of whatever raee, creed or geographical status,
are invited to, and are entitled to. take purl in its !ad
festivities.
Veiy pitiful is the human being who, In the mi 1st of
the Cbristnuis se. son, feel like flocking off by himself, like
Sffl
Dundreary's bird. It is a se son, not for isolation and loneliness, but lor
fellowship and universal brotherhood, ss tliouch we were saying to one
another, "ALL HANDS A HOC .!!" with nobody left out.
When we pai.se to think of tic way in wHiieh the Christmas originated
it becomes easy for us to urulersUml why the season is everywhere mail
to be the occasion of deep rejoicing and multiform gladness.
Beyond a doubt the festivnl had its birth away up in the frozen North,
In the region of the aurora bore ilis, where the battle between the cold
and ti c l.eat the darkness and the licht, is the longest and the most ter
rible; and it was (juite natural that at the turn of the sun. when the litfht
and warmth be-an to return, men should turn themselves loose in a sort
of paroxysm of joy.
And by degrees the festivities of the men of the far north worked thir
way southward; for even there tl.e return of the sun meant life to men.
meant tbe sunshine and he it without which the human race most perish.
The hyperboreans had their Christ. Kaldur by name. Halilur the good,
the gentle, the compnssionnt, who. taking pity on them, destroyed the
Frost Giant and siveu tlie:n from death. We cannot very well blame the
hyperboreans if. lit first, their religion was larpely of a mati-mil type the
worship of the sun, for Ilaldur was no more than the sun iil-J:ied.
Christ not the petty Christ of tS- professional theoloL-ian. but the
Christ of Humun.ty tt-nds for OPTIMISM. All is well, let not your
hearts be troubled. Sufl'nient utto the day IS tie evil thereof. In reality
there is no evil, the thing we call "evil" boirg but good in the making. "I
am come that ye niijr'it have life, not death; confident e. not despair; glad
ness, not weeping and wailing."
Away with all groucliiness and greed, all doubt and despair! This is
the season of love and good will, of hope mid glad., ess. Joy is always and
everywhere "orthodox" and in order.
If you are able to do so at no other time of the year, during the
Christmas time resolve to have the full rnurnge of your noble slf, and to
let your worthiest and bravest sentiment a?scrt itself to the full.
Let joy be unconfined! Again be is said. "ALL IS WELL." Tre Sun
is not going to be conquered by the Frost King; the anarchists a -e not
going to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and the j-n;rn-ment
that was inaugurated by our venerated Washington; in spite of the
little politicians who are ready to "give up to party what was meant for
mankind," the ways and means of bettering the condition of manki.id will
surely be found; the life of men and nations shall not have been ir- vain;
and as for Old Death, who awaits us at the end of the little earthlr way.
for all that we to the contrary he may turn out to be our best friend.
Those who have crosaed the north Atlantic in winter need not be
reminded of the uplifting and joy-giving influence of the (rulf stream.
Those who have felt it can never forget it. Once fairly upon the mysterious
"river of the sea," the chill and numbness of one's body and soul depart,
the rigid muscles relax, the pent up feelings let themselves looae in singing,
and chat, and all-round sociability and enjoyment, and all the world seems
to be refashioned for the better.
And such is Christmas, with its good will and rood cheer, iu brave
confidence and spontaneous gladness. It is the gulf stream of life, warm
ing us into the sentiment of a common humanity, with its unselfishness
and comradeship, and imparting to us all the glad sense of security and
Education of Public to Reduce the Death Toll
by Avoidable Accidents
By DR. F. D. LAWSON, Society for Prevention of Accidents.
As we of this society regard it, education and also an awakening
of the moral senae of responsibility throughout the United States are
the only means by which the immense toll of dead and injured by avoid
able accidents, which take place yearly, can be reduced.
The dead from automobile accidents in this country in 1920 are
given as 15,000 and the accidents from the same cause as 500,000, in
round numbers. It is fur the purpose of checking the conditions which
made such a record possible and from every other source that this society
has been organized.
There can be no question that life can be made safer if the public
will only give its moral and physical support to a movement which is
intended to benefit everyone. The slaughter which occurs every year by
accident in the United States is possible of reduction to a comparatively
small percentage, but this can only be accomplished if the public iUeli
will aid.
What we have in view it to educate the public mind to a point where
everyone instinctively will do whatever may be possible to avoid acci
dents to themselves or their fellow beinjm.
Declares Aphrodite Was "Hard Boiled"
CHICAGO. The mall order romance
of a rather aged and halt Hermes
and his f. o. b. Aphrodite came to a
emashup In Judge Harry B. Miller's
courtroom.
Hermes, It may be remembered, was
the winged messenger of the Immor
tals of Mount Olympua, the youth of
Mercurial charm and swiftness. Aph
rodite was the perfect divinity, the
Ideal of maidenly charm and beauty.
Therefore, It was a shock when

of a "movie" Aphrodite as her own.
The romance grew.

REMODELING OU MAKING OVER
CLOTHING
On every hn d we heir about tl.e
h;gh cost of I'vintr. and the unusual
exrense of the th ngs -e-Miired f 'r
every day life. This is indeed true,
yet fiere are many wayr in which
economy may b' pra ticed without de
priv:n one of real neeesrities. Hv
giv;n-r some thought and nttetit:on to
matters of cl thit g, much of the so
"ailed tic'-cssar expense ( an be sav -d.
It is n it uncommon in ninny hmic
to find gn-menU discarded for want
rf a little repair, or because they a e
not made n.vording t the Into't
fashion. Vany of us when buying a
new hat, suit or dress, fail to kei'n
n mi d the f:' t that we plan ti wear
it two or more seasons. And so buv
a dress of a style impossible to ma'e
over and of a color of wh'eh we so n
tire. Jhn'(c pere wrote, many year
no, "Costly thy habit as thy purse ran
buy." and the advice st'l holds good.
Kconomy does not consist, however,
of buying cheap, shoddy materia.
New cl ithing should lie selected or
planned that a-e not apt to go out rf
style, ran easily be made eve" ar I
with trimmings that will clean readi
ly, or ran be chaneed without ipo li-g
the garment. If this Were the gen--ral
practice, mu h time and monev
would bo saved.
It is good economy to remodel
-arment wh eh has lieen left ov-f-orn
last yea". This is especially
true if the materia! in the garment
is of a good quality. Ma'ters of re
in! listing (leaves, cellars, cuff, trim
ming1 nnd the like are so simple an I
vet so impnrta' t th it Ucy shoul I
have s mo attent'un. No spc-cifi.-rule
ran be given fo- nuik'g ovc
garments, but a few general sugges
tions may le ct forth.
There are two types of "enodelini
or mak ng over. One is to change
the garment completely. The o her
is to replace worn parts such a? col
lars, cuffs, vests, and sleeves, or to
change the length of waist and skirt.
The latter ki d of remodeling often
pays when the first would not. As
old material has a way of looking its
age, which is indescribable, and afte'
spending days working on an old
flr.-ss. it is an old dress atill and looks

little better than before, Tho ques
tion then is, will tho result Justify

niaKe the dress over fur some one
who Is smaller. Kr"niontly two gar
met ts can be combined to good ad
vantage, but judgment should b" ued
in th a matter or the wearer will soon
beo rne t'red of th" dress and cast i
r';!e. Standard colors-Mark, navy
blue, brown nnd grny are n1ay
safe selections, fo their nn-'btriisive-ne'v
makes for less concern when the
dress must be worn yen after year.
Tinerent shade of these co'o's mnv

material is combined with (ilk nnd
wool; cotton wi'h ctton, wo'l or s Ik.
One of the nvst notable out of
bito feature of n dres this yea- i
its high wa:st line. If a lastyenr's
serge dress r to be made over the
following suggestions may be of help.
A navy aerge may have a front panel
and cuffs of red or grey je-sey silk,
ib-corated with large navy French
knots. A scam above the wa'st line
makes the piecinir a rucrea, prividod
the discarded portions of th d-rss
are la-ge enough to permit the cut
t rg. The skirt 'n'nrd at a low waist
line and faced will surely prove I ng
enou"h. A brown serge may have
the panel and ruff of tan jersey.
IIomstit hing is popular this year and
is a clever wav to connect piecing--.
The f.dlowiig a-e po;ntsi to be con-side-rd
in remodel ng or making over:
First, if remodeling is to be worth
while, the fin'shed garment mut b
attractive and have wearing quality.
Si-cond, materials must be appropri
ate in texture, color, and patte-n for
the purpose intended. Third, the se
cret of successful remaking l in
givi' g the mme t are and attention
to the work m if thj material wen
new. The work will au-ely bo a fail
ureif ild pts and wrinkles re
main; if an attempt is mado to use
some parts as they a"e; unless all
sr.uns are ca-efully basted; unle' s all
rams are carefully pressed; unless
the pntte-n is chosen with regard t
size and shape of piecea to be used.
It ir not an unusual thing to have
a made-over dress hok nicer and feel
more comfortable than when it was
