WBT HASH BEST FOR LAYING

Some Experiments at Washing-
ton on Poultry Feeding,
, \yt *
Washington, Mar. 5.—For sev-
’* < oral years it has been a strongly
contested question among poul-
trymen whether mash fed to hens
should be moist or dry. Very
little experimental work has
been done along this line, and
the results thus far obtained are
ttot sufficiently marked and uni-
■ form to admit of positive con-
clusions. Within the last year
or two another problem has
arisen with the introduction of
the hopper feeding system on a
commercial scale, and, here, too,
„ very little experimental work
i has been attempted. As any
, method of feeding or manage-
ment which will increase the
average egg yield of a flock of
hens, even slightly, is of great
importance in affecting the
profit to be derived from the in-
dustry, definite experimental
data are exceedingly useful.
The bureau of animal industry
of the department of agriculture
is about to begin investigations
( bearing on these points. Here-
tofore the work of the bureau
'i... along these lines has been con-
fined to co-operation with the
mine experiment station in
breeding hens for egg produc-
tion, and with the Rhode Island
experiment station in turkey
. 1breeding. A new chief, Robert
' K. Slocum, has been recently
added to tbe staff of the animal
husbandry office of the bureau,
as poultry assistant, and be will
bave charge of the new work.
Unfortunately tbe lack of a
suitable location precludes start-
ing on experimental station in
the immediate vicinity of VVash-
ington, but quarters are now be-
ing fitted up at tbe bureau’s
quarantine station near Balti-
more, where experiments in hog
feeding have been in progress for
over a year. Although the con-
ditions there are not at all ideal,
the work can be carried on in a
fairly suitable manner. The
first work to be done will be a
study of tbe moist and dry mash
« !, systems and of the use of self-
feeding hoppers.
The equipment is necessarily
, modest, because the available
‘if funds are not large. A house di-
vided into three pens, each ac-
Vi* T ‘
1 This house, together with incu-
bators, brooders, etc., sufficient
to raise enough pullets to re-
place those used in the experi-
ments, will comprise the immedi-
ate equipment.
In planning the experiment it
seemed feasible to combine the
two problems, as this could be
f^.-done by the use of three pens of
fowls. Tbe different lots of fowls
4' are to be boused exactly alike
and all conditions made equal
pt the methods of feeding.
)wls In pen No. I will re-
's morning and night a mix-
I of whole or cracked grains
ared. in the litter, and at
1
commodating 25 hens, with suit-
able yards, is to be constructed.
M
noon a moistened mash. Those
in pen No. 2 will receive morn-
ing and night the same grain
mixture fed in the litter exactly
as with pen No. 1, and the same
mash at noon, except that this
mash will be fed dry. The only
difference, then, between these
two pens will be that pen No. 1
receieves the mash moistened,
while pen No. 2 receives exactly
the same mash dry.
The fowls in pen No. 3 will be
fed on exactly the same feed as
those in the other pens, but will
be fed from two selt-feeding hop-
pers, one containing the gram
and the other the mash. This
mash will be dry. The hopper
containing the grain will be
opened about 4 p. rn. in winter
and 5 p. m. in summer, and will
be left open until the next noon.
It will then be closed, and the
second hopper containing tbe
mash will be opened, and left so
until the first hopper is again
opened late in the afternoon. In
this way tde hens will have feed
before them at all times, and
can eat as much or as little as
they please.
A comparison can then be
made with pen No. 2, the only
difference between the two pens
being that pen No. 2 receives its
feed at stated intervals and in
amounts indicated by the appe-
tite of tbe fowls, while the fowls
of pen No. 3 can help themselves
at all times. White Plymouth
Rock fowls will be used, not be-
cause of any special preference
for this variety, but for reasons
of convenience. Pullets will be
raised from the various pens and
the test repeated twice to con-
firm results and note the effects
of the different systems on vitali-
ty-

—In a certain large and busy
office downtown there are five
telephone booths and it takes a
good deal of the time of one office
boy to answer the many calls.
During rush hours, indeed, these
calls are almost incessant, and
when the duty of attending to
them was assigned to a new boy
the other day ne got into trou-
ble right away. Before answer-
ing a call he learned that the
party at the other end was the
wife of one of the members of the
firm. He called this member out
of his office and told him his wife
wanted to speak to him on the
phone. Tbe member, approach-
ing the booths, asked: “Which
one?” “I’m sure I don’t know,
sir,” replied the boy. “I didn’t
know you had more than one.”—

Catarrh f lOeeo Years.
Mrs. 8. A, Rogers, LeMoors, 0*1.,
write*:
“I had chronic catarrh of fifteen
yean ataodlng, and death seemed to
stare me in the faoe. I tried several ‘so-
called’ catarrh ren)edlea, and without
•▼all. I took flfteon bottles of Peruna
and five bottles of Manalln, and I am
completely cured. All the catarrhal
symptoms are gone, my digestion is
good, my appetite la good, and I rest
well at night, f am seventy years of
sge and I hope to live many more years
to praise I’oruna to all my friends who
suffer from catarrh as 1 did.”

Rheumatism of Old Age.
Mrs. Caroline Trunk, 1706 Jefferson
Ave., Peoria, 111., writes;
"I had a very painful trouble for six
years, consisting of rheumatlam in the
hack and in the thigh. 1 used a great
deal of medicine, butltdldnothelp me.
Then I used Dr. Hartman’s Peruna,
and two bottles of this entirely freed
me of the rheumatism. 1 wish to keep
both Peruna and Manalln always In the
house. Tills is the best medicine that I
can recommend any one to take for
rheumatism.”
Catarrh All Through My System.
Mr. Hubert Metters, Murdock, Cass
Co., Neb., Box 45, writes:
‘‘I commenced to take Peruna the
first of last February. I took It as
nearly as possible according to dlrec-
Uons. 1 also got a Peruna almanac and
for the first time learned that my
trouble was ayatemte catarrh. I had
catarrh from my head all through my
system. 1 took Peruna until I was en-
tlrely cured.

Raising Camphor in Texas.
Camphor raising is an agricul-
tural possibility in Texas that is
just now engaging the attention
of the United Stutes Department
of Agriculture. Southwest Tex-
as is the chosen field for experi-
ment, and in addition to the
camphor farm, which is now
flourishing near Wharton, one
at Floresville will soon be under
cultivation. Dr. W. J. Watkius
of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
is establishing the station, which
he expects to have well under
way shortly.
Dr. Watkins was here yester-
day and discussed the camphor
experimental stations in detail.
The Japanese Government,
said Dr. Watkins, practically
controls the world’s supply of
camphor. At the conclusion of
the China-Japanese war Japan
came into possession of the Isle
of Formosa, the most extensive
camphor producing region in the
world. Since the recent and
marked advancement in the
science of warfare camphor has
played a most important part in
the manufacture of high explo-
sives, and its production is
therefore a valuable asset to a
Nation’s armament.
In the manufacture of the ex- i tion. These will be the only ones
plosives now used in the high-1 in Southwest Texas. There are
power guns camphor is a neces-1 several farms of this kind in the
sary ingredient, as through its I Hast but it is only comparative-
properties the powder’s explo- ly recently that the industry has
sive tendency is modified so that attracted the department’s ser-
they can be handled without ious attention.
The camphor business is in-
deed a profitable one. It is es-
timated that one acre will real-
ize approximately $450 a year to
anyone who undertakes the cul-
tivation in the proper manner
and perseveres in the work.
Southwest Texas is particular-
ly adapted to the growth of
camphor, we think, and it is
bable that a vast industry
ing four feet in diameter. .In the
United Stutes, where experimen-
tal stations have been establish-
ed tbe camphor seeds are sowu
and the plant permitted to grow
like wheat or oats.
The trees in Formosa are cut
down, chopped into chips and
subjected to a distilling process,
from which the gum camphor re-
sults. It is our intention, how-
ever, to improve upon this pro-
cess. When the tree has matur-
ed and is chopped down no
growth from the roots will ap-
pear the following season. We
do not permit the plant to devel-
op its full growth. The com-
mercial properties appear in the
shrub as soon as it has passed
from a mere shoot to a weed in
size. When the crop has advanc-
ed sufficiently a mowing machine
is run through the field and the
stalks cut about a foot from the
ground. The severed portion of
the plant is made into champhor
through a distilling process,
while from the stalks left in the
ground the next season's crop
will spring.
There are but few experimental
stations of the Government simi-
lar to the oue at Wharton. We
are establishing one at I’lores-
| ville, which will soon be in opera-
danger. Camphor is becoming
more valuable commercially
every day. Our experimental
statibn at W’harton is thriving,
the camphor shrubs being now
possibly'as high as a man’s
bead. This evidences a remark-
able growth and insures success-
ful cultivation, as tbe farm
was
planted ofiiy last year
In Formosa camphor grows
si-srafssifi
probable that a vast industry
Is iust making its appearance in
this part of the country.
