(BY SERGEANT GEORGE DODGE.)
(United States Aviation School, Mineola,
N. V.) ,
Before war was declared, I was a
Cornell freBliman, with no more idea
of enlisting than any other college
student had at that time.
But as soon as It became certain
that we had to fight Germany, I began
looking around to Bee what
branch of the service I would rather
do my bit In.
It was a cinch from tho start that
I would go In for aviation. I had
been building model airplanes for
yearB, and ootides that I was driven
by the sense of adventure that Is in
in every fellow of my age?I am less
than 20 now?and I knew that all the
BIG adventures of this war would
come to the flyers.
Besides, I knew that in the air service
you kept your individuality and
did not become simply a cog in a big
machine, as in some other branches
of the service. It's up to you in avi!
atlon; but if you do make good, you
have tho satisfaction of knowing that
you did the stunt all by yourself, and
there is some chance of the world's
knowing it, too. Everybody has heard
of Capt. Guynemer and Capt. Ball,
the great Franch and English flyers,
but who ever heard of any other offilr

FEED HENS FOR EGGS
Problem Requires Good Judgment

,
Fowls Should Have Foods High In
Food Elements Found In Eggs?
Whole Grain Ration la Not to

:By B. I* KEMPSTER, Missouri College
ot Agriculture.)
A hen laying 200 eggs la a year is
aot at all unusual. A four-pound hen
laying this number will produce six
times her weight In eggs. To do this
she will require from 7Q to 80 pounds
of feed. For economical production it
Is necessary (1) that the food be
/n\ 11- Va fnrl
propcriy seiecieu, mm n. uc ---In
correct proportion nnd In o Judicious
manner In order that her digestive organs
may be kept in good condition,
(3) that she be fed enough so that she
has plenty of surplus for egg production.
The problems of poultry feeding require
good Judgment and keen observation.
Hens fed for egg production
should have foods high in the food ele|
meats which are found In eggs. Those
fed In the fattening pens should have
the foods which most economically produce
fat. The best ration, then, Is the
one which supplies most economically
the food requirements of the bird for
the purpose for which It Is kept
It should be remembered that one

So I put In my application to learn

States, I am told.
1 had no tear of the ordinary physical
examination; but I will admit 1
was nervous over the special tests
that they give aviation recruits. I had
heard all sorts of wild stories about
these tests?that they fired revolvers
at you to test your nerve, threw colo
water on you, etuck needles in your
flesh, and all sorts of other stunts
that sound like a college fraternity's
hazing.
I went into the examining surgeon's
office with about the same feelings
that I would go to my own shooting,
I was bo wrought up by these stories.
But I soon managed to collect
my nerve when I saw the businesslike
way In which the surgeon went
about his work.
He seemed to mark my body off in
sections and give each section such
a thorough examination that I am
sure if I had anything wrong with
me it would have been discovered.
But this was Just a starter; what they
were really after was my eyes and my
ears and with my ears 1 Include my

or tne principles or pounry lecaing i?
that the hen cannot do well If fed on
a whole grain ration. Not only does
a ration of grain fall to furnish the
proper food nutrlepts, but such a ration
Is difficult for the bird to digest
properly. The great fault with the
fanner In Ills ponltry feeding Is that
he attempts to feed a whole grain ration,
and generally only one grain at
that. Such a ration results In poor
egg production and also causes digestive
disorders and liver and kidney
troubles. Complaints of this kind frequently
come to the department of
poultry husbandry and a suggested
change In the ration has usually resulted
In the elimination of the trouble.
Efficient digestion demands a
combination of whole and ground
grains. A ration should consist of
grains and ground feeds. Generally
speaking, twice as much groin should
be consumed as ground feed. This
depends, of cqjirse, upon the nature
of the foods fed.
A good ration for egg production can
be made with a combination el grains
and eronnd feeds. For grains, equal
parts by weight of wheat, corn, or In
the winter time twice as much corn as
whent, may be used. For ground feed,
a mixture of equal parts of bran,
shorts, and cornraeal may be used. Efficient
egg production requires also
that this ration be sunnleraeoted with
either sour milk?all that the birds
will drink?or In case sour milk Is not
available, commercial beef scrap. Onefourth
of the ground feed should consist
of beef scrap In cose ahls Is used.

eyes to see whether tbey acted nor'

was being Irlgated when warm water
was used and away from It when the
water was cold.
Then they put me on a thing like
a piano stool and whirled me around
until I was dizzy, and watched to see
which way I would fall when the stool
stopped turning. If I fell away from
the direction of rotation, I was all
right.
Next they took off my shoes and
made me walk back and forth blindfolded,
to sco whether my balance and
sense of direction was good.
It was certainly a weird performance,
but nothing like the rough stuff
that I expected them to try - on
me.
I couldn't understand what all these
blindfold tests were for, - but since
I have been up In the clouds where
you can't soe anything, I can understand
that all these tests really were
