FEEDING GARBAGE CUTS EGG AND MEAT COSTS If Carefully Selected This Form of Feed Means Saving Of From 25 to 30 Per Cent A practical manner of reducing the production costs of market eggs consists in feeding fresh garbage placed before the flock as soon as possible after it has been rejected from the table. Used judiciously the United States department of agriculture says it will reduce the cost of egg and meat production from 25 to 30 per cent. The garbage must be fresh and free from all fermentation and sourness. The intrinsic value of garbage as a poultry feed is due to the fact that it provides a varied ration which fits all the needs and requirements of the flock. One explanation of why the small flock-owner, with his backyard bevy of hens, secures heavy production of eggs, hinges around the fact that he emphasizes the use of table scraps in the ration. Similar results obtain where large commercial flocks are given access to daily allowances of sanitary, well-selected, and palatable garbage. Although the character of garbage varies throughout the year, due to the fact that more succulent vegetables and fruits are used during the summer, this refuse is also a valuable substitute for costly grains and concentrates in the hen menu. Unfortunate results which in some instances have followed the use of garbage are due to feeding a mixture of table scraps that was not carefully selected. Hens like fresh garbage, but are not able to digest scraps of tin, phonograph needles, and similar foreign material. Unless such substances are separated from the garbage, disastrous results invariably follow and the poultryman soon abandon garbage feeding and condemns it as unsatisfactory. The department of agriculture farm and the gobblers gobble their way to a front line position when garbage lunch time rolls around. The turkeys keenly relish the table scraps and abandon tender grasshoppers and succulent alfalfa—in order to scamper to the feeding spots when the garbage wagon approaches. TAKE EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF NATION'S HIGHWAYS America's far-flung net of roadways is soon to be measured accurately in terms of mileage, cost, character of construction, improvement work, and general condition by the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture. The survey, which is the most extensive ever undertaken and the first in seven years, is to be made with the aid of state and local officials and individuals the country over, and is comparable only to the great task of taking the national census. Nobody, in all probability, could guess today within millions of dollars what the roadways total, in dollars and cents, on the ledger of national assets. Nobody knows how many miles there are where wheel may roll. The strength and the weakness of the nation's transportation arteries likewise are unknown in detail. When the survey is completed, all those and other facts will be known and will be available for guidance to road builders. In addition there will be abundant data to show up comparisons of costs. The well-built roads of say, Pennsylvania can be tall, dollar for dollar and mile for mile, alongside the well-built roads of California and other states. First cost and maintenance of macadam, asphalt, concrete—every kind of road built—from one section can be matched against such costs fro mevery other section, if desired. The way to make the dollar most effective in road work thus will be point-of-view. the development of our yet it is contended we continue to hold this in order to insure that claims held by us again German government. "Hon. Francis P. Gerty property custodian, testament interstate and foreign mittee on the 11th day 1921, stated that acco formation, the face ve claims against the government and her approximately $1,000,000 further that Secretary informed him that any years' experience of or dealing with internals over claims it had been between 4 and 5 per claims have been allowed basis it would appear claims of Americans perial German govern lies would probably no more than $5,000,000 years and eight months mistice we are holding these claims approximately 000 in money and property is owned by persons who sulted about the war control over it.

To do Unfortunate results which in some instances have followed the use of garbage are due to feeding a mixture of table scraps that was not carefully selected. Hens like fresh garbage, but are not able to digest scraps of tin, phonograph needles, and similar foreign material. Unless such substances are separated from the garbage, disastrous results invariably follow and the poultryman soon abandons garbage feeding and condemns it as unsatisfactory. The department of agriculture recommends that fresh garbage be run through a meat or vegetable chopper, and mixed with a little ground feed before it is fed to the fowls. As much of the table refuse should be fed as the flock will clean up with a relish in the course of an hour. All feed which the birds reject should be removed from the feeding pens or yards as soon as possible thereafter. Otherwise, it sources and contaminates the premises and, subsequently, if the fowls eat it invariably causes digestive troubles. Where garbage is fed, it is also requisite to provide a light ration of grain twice daily, as well as to supply dry mash in a hopper before the flock. As a rule table scraps are rich in protein and only occasionally it is necessary to supplement the mash with approximately 5 per cent of meat meal. During the summer garbage decomposes and ferments quickly and it must be fed before it reaches this stage. The feeding of garbage is favored during cold weather because in the winter the refuse keeps better. Suburban flock-owners may often secure the garbage from neighboring families who do not keep hens. This source of feed may be so plentiful that the flock-owner can expand his henkeeping operations and even afford to pay a small amount for the garbage. Experiments in feeding garbage at the government experimental farm at Beltsville, Md., indicate that 10 hens will consume about one quart of garbage daily. A suitable dry mash as a supplement to this garbage consists of three parts by weight of corn meal, one part of bran, one part of middlings and 5 per cent of meat scraps. This mash is kept before the fowls all the time. The investigations demonstrated conclusively that where fresh garbage is properly fed a fair egg crop results, while economical and rapid gains in growth are secured by the judicious use of table refuse in the ration. Where the garbage is plentiful and rather watery it is advisable to road builders. In addition there will be abundant data to show up comparisons of costs. The well-built roads of say, Pennsylvania can be laid, dollar for dollar and mile for mile, alongside the well-built roads of California and other states. First cost and maintenance of macadam, asphalt, concrete—every kind of road built—from one section can be matched against such costs fro mevery other section, if desired. The way to make the dollar most effective in road work thus will be pointed out. Rural highways as well as urban are to be included, the latter embracing all roads, streets, and alleys in incorporated communities of 2500 inhabitants or more. How the funds are provided for constructing and maintaining roads also will be made known. The amount invested in road machinery—an item concerning which even approximate information is lacking today—will be sought. After the information is obtained it will be kept up to date. In undertaking the survey, the bureau requests the assistance of every unit of government doing road work in the nation; of road officials the country over; and of associations, organizations and individuals, down to the man with a filivver, having information or data as to local highway activities. As future legislation may be based on percentage of road mileage, it is pointed out that it is essential for each unit to have its total, as well as its improved, road mileage carefully and correctly recorded in the survey. ALIEN PROPERTY RETURN IS URGED BY REPUBLICAN Newton, of Missouri,' Explains Measure to Adjust Claims Amounting to More Than Billion Immediate restoration of alien property now held by the alien property custodian is urged by Representative Cleveland A. Newton, of Missouri, who says the United States is holding a billion dollars worth of such property as security for claims which will never be paid. "I introduced in the house," he declares, "a bill directing the alien property custodian to fulfill his trust by turning over to the rightful owners all properties still in his possession which were seized during the late war. "The peace resolution adopted by congress provides that all property be supplement to this garbage consists of three parts by weight of corn meal, one part of bran, one part of middlings and 5 per cent of meat scraps. This mash is kept before the fowls all the time. The investigations demonstrated conclusively that where fresh garbage is properly fed a fair egg crop results, while economical and rapid gains in growth are secured by the judicious use of table refuse in the ration. Where the garbage is plentiful and rather watery it is advisable to mix in enough supplementary mash to give the mixture a desirable consistency. If the table scraps contain much fruit and vegetable peelings, more mash should be added, while if the garbage consists chiefly of potato peelings, bread and meat less mash should be used. Care should be exercised to drain off soapy water or excess liquid from the garbage. A poultry farm in the District of Columbia which handles about 1000 fowls reports excellent results from the use of well-selected garbage. This material is hauled twice a day and fed to the birds about 10 o'clock in the morning and again during the middle of the afternoon so that the table scraps are fed fresh only two or three hours after they are discarded from the kitchen. The feeding method of this poultry man is to scatter the garbage on the grass range in such quantities that the fowls will clean up all the refuse. He rotates these feeding spots in such a way that no contamination results. The outstanding feature of the success of this poultry man is centralized in his painstaking selection of the garbage and the elimination of all objectionable material. Profitable returns have resulted also from the feeding of garbage to fattening cockerels and old hens. A small stock of turkeys is maintained on this Cleveland A. Newton, of Missouri, who says the United States is holding a billion dollars worth of such property as security for claims which will never be paid. "I introduced in the house," he declares, "a bill directing the alien property custodian to fulfill his trust by turning over to the rightful owners all properties still in his possession which were seized during the late war. "The peace resolution adopted by congress provides that all property belonging to the imperial German government, to the Austro-Hungarian government and their successors, or to their nationals, and held by the alien property custodian of this country shall be retained by the custodian until all claims against such governments shall have been adjusted, except such property as shall have been heretofore or shall hereafter be released under authority of law. "When the armistice was signed, the alien property custodian held property amounting to more than $800,000,000 belonging to people who lived in Germany and Austro-Hungary. I am advised that he held no property belonging to the imperial German government or to the Austro-Hungarian government. Under various acts of congress the custodian has released property seized during the war until the amount held by him has been reduced to $391,727,971. That property is owned by people who live among the distressed of central Europe, who had no official connection with either of these governments when the war began, who were not consulted about the starting of the war, who had no power to stop it once it was begun, and who had no control over the manner in which it was conducted; but they were people who, by their investments in this country long before the war, had aided in ANAHEIM GAZETTE the development of our industries. And yet it is contended that we should continue to hold this private property in order to insure the payment of claims held by us against the imperial German government-and its allies. "Hon. Francis P. Garvan, allen property custodian, testifying before the interstate and foreign commerce committee on the 11th day of January, 1921, stated that, according to his information, the face value of American claims against the imperial German government and her allies amounted to approximately $1,000,000,000. He stated further that Secretary Lansing had informed him that as a result of 100 years' experience of our government in dealing with international disputes over claims it had been found that only between 4 and 5 per cent of such claims have been allowed. Upon this basis it would appear that the valid claims of Americans against the imperial German government and her allies would probably not amount to more than $5,000,000. And yet two years and eight months after the armistice we are holding as security for these claims approximately $400,000,000 in money and property, all of which is owned by persons who were not consulted about the war and who had no control over it. "Charitable organizations in this country have raised millions of dollars for the relief of The suffering peoples in central Europe, and I am advised that among the suffering are those whose property is being held by the custodian in this country and to whom relief would come if that property were restored to them." CULL THE FOWLS FOR EGGS AND FOR MARKET Every boy or girl having poultry naturally wishes to earn as much money as possible. To do this every hen should be a good larder. All cookery- then that lays best during her second and third years. She is, therefore, the one to keep. It is not often advisable, however, to keep hens of the heavier breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Brahmas, beyond the second year, of the smaller breeds, such as the Leghorns and Arcosas, beyond the third year, as they seldom prove profitable. You can learn all about the various tests necessary to pick out the good and the poor layers by reading Farmers' Bulletin 1112, which can be obtained by writing to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D.C. HONOR UNKNOWN DEAD Armistice Day, 1921, is to be a memorable occasion in the United States. On that day the conference on limitation of armaments and on Pacific and far east problems opens its sessions in Washington. But above all, taking precedence over all, for that day and occasion, will be the interment in beautiful Arlington national cemetery, of a nameless American hero who lost his life in battle overseas. Nameless heroes—are not millions of them nameless, in a way. The actual fighting in the war was done by men whose names individually are unknown to the world—unknown beyond the locality in which they lived—unknown, mayhap, even to many in the locality in which they lived. And yet, collectively, these gallant men are known to all mankind and will be known throughout the ages, as the warriors of freedom who went into the breach against the cohorts of menacing militarism. Fitting indeed is it that an unknown soldier who made the supreme sacrifice overseas, should be brought, in solemn state, to Arlington national cemetery for permanent interment Knitted underwear and garments made of crepe, seersucker, and thin muslin may often be carefully pulled into shape instead of ironed. Shirts with plain soft bosoms and soft cuffs are easiest to iron. On underwear, blouses, and dresses simple flat trimmings are more easily ironed than elaborate ones. Small plate dolls are easier to launder than large tablecloths, and many people like the stenciled oil-cloth dolls, which are simply wiped off. Carefully stretched towels are often as satisfactory as if ironed, and small Turkish towels do not need ironing at all. If sheets, pillow cases and towels are hung on the line carefully they will dry smooth, and when taken down need only to be neatly folded. Many persons enjoy the fresh fragrance of the sun-dried linen. Where there are many flat pieces, a mangle either cold or heater will be found a help in making the summer laundry work easier. The damp clothes are folded and pressed between rollers, and the mangle may be hand driven or operated by motor. Sinners are not more lovable than saints, but they are more lovable than the imitation saints that we commonly meet. CONVINCING TESTIMONY Given By Many Anaheim People. Experiences told by Anaheim people— Those who have had weak kidneys— Who used Doan's Kidney Pills— Who found the remedy effective—Such statements prove merit. You might doubt an utter stranger.

CULL THE FOWLS FOR EGGS AND FOR MARKET Every boy or girl having poultry naturally wishes to earn as much money as possible. To do this every hen should be a good layer. All cockerels, except those kept for breeding purposes, as well as pullets that lack vigor and vitality, should be eaten, canned for home use, or sold as soon as they are large enough, says the United States department of agriculture. Selecting or "weeding out" the hens that are poor layers and picking out for market the cockerels least likely to develop into good breeders is commonly called "culling," or culling for eggs and for market. The best time to cull the hens is during August and September, usually from August 15 to September 15, for at that season. It is easier to determine which are the good layers and which are boarders. At that time of year hens which show signs of laying or are laying and have not molted usually are the ones that have been the better layers during the entire season, and the locality in which they lived. And yet, collectively, these gallant men are known to all mankind and will be known throughout the ages, as the warriors of freedom who went into the breach against the cohorts of menacing militarism. Fitting indeed is it that an unknown soldier who made the supreme sacrifice overseas, should be brought, in solemn state, to Arlington national cemetery for permanent interment amidst the honors and eulogies of government and people. This one nameless man is representative of the millions of gallant men who, in the ranks, went into service in the world war and came out only upon the capitulation of the enemy. Fitting, too, that the occasion should be a real holy-day, respectfully observed by all true Americans. REDUCE AMOUNT OF IRONING DURING THE HOT WEATHER The ironing done in hot weather may be very much lessened in several ways, suggests specialists in the United States department of agriculture. Clothing and household linens should be chosen with a view to avoiding ironing whenever possible. Many of the bat pieces need not be ironed at all, and others may be mangled. Experiences told by Anaheim people— Those who have had weak kidneys— Who used Doan's Kidney Pills— Who found the remedy effective—Such statements prove merit. You might doubt an utter stranger. You must believe Anaheim people. Here's Anaheim proof. Verify it. Read. Investigate. Be convinced. You'll find why Anaheim folks believe in Doan's. Ask your neighbor! J. A. Laffoon, retired farmer, 417 Elm St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are an old stand-by with me and I don't know how I would have made out without them. I go so bad off with kidney trouble, I could hardly keep going. My back ached constantly and made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys were out of order, too. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from Anaheim's Drug Store and they just suited my case. Doan's soon put me on my feet. The backache let up and my kidneys were regulated." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Laffoon had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y.
