EASILY-MADE HOPPER
Poultry on Range Should Have
Supplemental Dry Feed.
Mash Tends to Promote Rapid and
Uniform Growth of Fowls and Is
Economical—Device Illustrat
ed Is Efficient.
The feeding of dry mash to farm
poultry on range is not practiced as
generally as it should be. Dry mash
is compounded of finely-ground grains,
and usually contains, some animal pro
tein in the way of beef scrap, fish
scrap, etc. This dry mash is intended
to supplement the grain ration and to
be an additional source of supply to
the chickens on range.

form growth and is economical. Poul
try Is not inclined to overeat of dry
inash. The usual method of feeding
wet or moist mashes, however, unless
care is taken, Is wasteful and danger
ous. Poultry will overeat of wet mash,
and this mash spoils quickly if not
consumed, particularly in hot weather.
The feeding of dry mash, on the oth
er hand, also may be wasteful if a
properly designed device for feeding is
not employed. The following device
is an efficient and economical feeder
and may easily be constructed.
This hopper is constructed of inch
boards 12 inches wide. The top may
be hinged for convenience in filling, or
the entire top may be made remov
able, affording in this case better pro
tection from the weather. The V
shaped bottom of the food container
is made of one-fourth inch square
mesh wire, such as is used in render
ing corn cribs and grain bins rat
proof. The fiat tray, above which the
food container is supported by the end
boards, should have drainage holes.
Wooden cleats should be fastened
along the point of contact of the wire
mesh with the end boards, thus making
a closed joint and preventing waste.
A substantial advantage in this form
! of food hopper will be found in that it
I gives no opportunities for the wedging
I in and smothering of young chickens,
when crowding around the feeder.
NORWAV FACING
NUtM STRIKE
ON SEPTEMBER IST
CHRISTIANIA, Norwalk, Aug. 13.
As far as the food problem is concern -
ed, Norway has been in a better con
dition than the other two Scandinavian
'countries and, although the public
more than a year ago asked that it be
I put on rations of sugar, flour and pota
i toes, the government has not yet found
it necessary. At present everybody can
' obtain all he needs of foodstuff—if he
|is able to pay the righ prices. The
| government and the municipalities are
' trying to help by paying a certain
j part of the excess prices so that the
laborer, for instance, has been able to
buy milk, bread, fuel, pork and some
other articles of food at prices noc.
'much higher than under normal condi
jtions. As his wages have been raised
■ from 40 to 100 per cent, in the last'
j three years, the high cost of living is i
j felt less by the laborer than by people!
working on a fixed salary in the ser
. vice of the state or cities. These pub-
■ lie employers have not made the sala-
I ries follow the increased cost of living.
I The result is that it has come to a
crisis for the civil service; young well-!
fitted men resign their positions for
better places with private employers |
and the work in the governmental de-‘
i partments is crippled.
All railroad employes, from station'
agents to laborers, have resigned their i
places and will walk out September I,[
i declaring their wages are too low for.
■'a decent living. If the government
dees not yield to the demand for better 1
'salaries—a request unanimously sup-,
ported by almost the whole press of.
i. the country—the railroad service over
the whole country will be stopped on
September 1.
As Norway, except in some branches,
is unable to produce food enough for I
j the use of her own people, an em-l
bargo has been placed on most kinds
! o' fcod. Hardly a pound of butter is
■ exported now, no potatoes, nor flour. 1
j Imported articles, like sugar and cos-
under an agreement with the seller
are not exported. Smuggling or tht
] exportation of embargoed goods ha s
been punished to the full extent of the
laws. It is claimed here that very lit-

STORY OF THE GREAT WAR

I Startling Reveliations in Connection With
I The German Invasion of Neutral Belgium
I It has come to light through publication in the New York
limes of certain heretofore secret correspondence between Kaiser William and Piesident Wilson that
the German government as early as 1914 justified the violation of Belgian neutrality on stragetic
gropnds. I his correspondence has been kept from the press during three years, and publication
thereof is permitted this time only in connection with the United States’ entry into the ranks of the
beligerents.
No single instance yet developed in this gigantic conflict of the nations serves more aptly to ill
ustrate the power and advantages of advertising than does this. It shows concisely how she peo
ple, as long as this news was kept out of the newspapers, failed to understand Germany’s reasons for
ruthlessly over-running this small, neutral country, and its publication is expected to arouse a storm
of protest, the effect of which will be felt throughout civilization.
So it is with the merchant who fails to advertise. No matter what you have to offer; no matter
how great bargains he may be in possession to give, unless he advertises these facts, the public is in
ignorance thereof, and his store remains empty of customers. The way to advertise is to use news
paper space. Write your advertisements carefully; tell the people what you have to sell, and the
price you offer your goods at. Change your advertisements often; it doesn’t pay to run the saiTe
old announcement day-in-and-dap-out; people get tired of reading the same advertisements over and
over again.
Let our Advertising Department help you in the preparation of your “copy.” Use space liber
ally and you will find this one of the best investments you ever made. Our Mi. T. M. Merritt, Jr.,
is in charge of this department, and he will be glad to talk with you and explain the fine points of
the advertising game.
