UTAH WAY TO FEED CHICKENS NO BEST ' Emphasis Must Be Laid on Completeness of Ration. developments in rearing poultry have brought out new feeding methods, each with its supporters who seethe method rather than the feed, says Prof. L, C. Norris of the New York State College of Agriculture, who adds that there is no best way to feed poultry as long as the emphasis is laid on the completeness of the ration. When birds are kept indoors it he comes more difficult, but not impossible, to meet the hens feed require ments, because green feed of the prop er type, and bugs and worms, have been automatically removed from their ration. Many food substances needed by hens may be in these natural foods, picked from the range. The only way out of such a situation is to make use of the protective such as milk and dried leaf) green feeds. .The same food needs can he proas in a scratch vided in an mash ration, says Professor Norris. ration is used it Where an Recent - feed-stuffs- , ; h Ge?t.A6er Sidney Johnsion i By ELMO SCOTT WATSON 3 is the the birthday soldiers FEBRUARY afford similarisome equally ties and striking differences.They bore the same family name, yet were not related. They were graduated from the same military school, both achieved distinction as Indian fighters, both attained high ranks in both the United States army and the Confederate army, yet one rose to the heights as a military leader only to be cheated of his reward by death, while the other lived to see his fame a soldier end in The two something of an were Albert Sidney Johnston and Joseph Eggleston Johnston. Albert Sidney Johnston was born on February 3, 1803, in Washington, Ky., the son of a Connecticut country physician and was graduated from the United States Military academy, eighth in his class, in 1S2G. He was assigned to the Second Infantry and served as chief of staff to Gen. Henry Atkinson in the Black Hawk war in 1832. Resigning from the army in 1834, he was a farmer for a short time near St. Louis, then in 18136 joined the Texas patriots in their struggle for freedom. Although entering the Texan army as a private he rapidly rose through all the grades to the command of the army and in 1838 President Mirabeau Lamar of the Lone Star republic made him secretary of war. The next year he led a campaign against hostile Indians and in two brilliant battles defeated them and drove them out of Texas. Next we find him a planter in Texas but at the outbreak of the Mexican war he was in the field again as colonel of the .First Texas rifles. This regiment soon disbanded but Johnston continued in the service and was inspector general of Butlers division at the battle of Monterey. Although Gen. Zachary Taylor called him the best soldier he ever commanded, and his superiors recommended him for an he appointment as brigadier-generawas passed over (for political reasons) and again retired to his farm. There he lived in poverty and neglect until President Taylor , in 1849 suddenly appointed him a paymaster in the United States army and six years later President Pierce appointed him colonel of a new regiment, the Second cavalry. In 1857 he was placed in command of the expedition to restore order among the Mormons in Utah, who were in opefl revolt against the government, For his success in this w ork be was brevetted brigadier-genera- l and a short time later placed in command of the department of the Pa. anti-clima- l, . a cific. Loyal to the army and the nation, the coming of the Civil war brought the deepest distress to Johnston. But when Texas seceded he resigned his commission but he regarded his command as such a sacred trust that he concealed his resignation until he could be relieved and went at once to Richmond where in September, 1SG1, he was placed in command of all the Confederate forces in the West. The fall of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson to the Union forces under Foote and Grant followed and the new leader fell back to Murfreesboro where he began reorganizing his troops. . Then he moved to Corinth, Miss., the key of the defense of the railroad system in the lower Mississippi valley, where by April 1, 1862, he had about 40,000 men, poorly armed and badly supplied. Grant, commanding the ijight wing of the Union army, . was concentrating at Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee river with some 40,000 men and Buell was rapidly approaching with 40,000 more. With a Napoleonic flash of genius Johnston decided to beat the enemy in detail and to attack Grant before Buell could arrive. On April 3 he started on his 25 mile march to Pittsburgh Landing but he was delayed by bad roads and did not arrive until the 5th. At a council of war Gene.al Beauregard, his- second in command, protested against an attack and advised a return to Corinth. Johnston overruled him and on Sunday morning, April 6, he led his army to the attack. It was a complete surprise, for Grant was not even on the field. The struggle lasted all day and was proceeding successfully just as Johnston had planned. The Union army was being crowded into an angle between Snake creek and the Tenessee river and was facing annihilation. About 2:30 oclock in the afternoon Johnston, while leading a charge which crushed the left wing of Grant's forces, fell with a mortal wound. Beauregard, with enough daylight left to complete the victory, vacillated and That ordered the attack to cease. night Buell's army came up and the next day the Confederates were driven from the field. Had the bullet which struck down Albert Sidney Johnston reached another target, the history of the Civil war might have been vastly different. Unlike Albert Sidney Johnston, who was a Southerner of Northern ancestry, Joseph Eggleston .Johnston was a Southerner of the Southerners. He was born in Cherry Grove, Va., on February 3, 1807, the scion of a Virginia family which had been in this country for nearly 200 years. He was graduated from West Point in 1829 in the same class that gave Robert E. Lee to the army and commissioned a second lieutenant in the Fourth artillery. With the exception of service in the Black Hawk war in 1832, most of his first six years in the army was spent in garrison duty at various posts along the Atlantic seaboard. But in 1836 he became - - aide-de-cam- p to Gen. Winfield Scott in the war with the Seminole Indians in Florida and won a brevet as captain for gallantry in action when troops under his command fell into an ambuscade, from which Johnston extricated them skillfully. On this occasion his uniform was perforated with no less than 30 bulIn 1842-4lets! he was again in Florida serving against the Seminoles. In the war with Mexico he was at the siege of Vera Cruz and in the battles of Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Molino del Rey, Chapultepec and the attack on the City of Mexico. He wTas severely wounded at Cerro Gordo and again at Chapultepec, where he wras the first to plant regimental colors on the ramparts of the fortress. For his gallantry at Cerro Gordo, he was brevetted lieutenant colonel and colonel and finally became quartermaster general of the United States army. Johnston resigned from the army when Virginia seceded, wrns commissioned a of volunteers by Virginia. Next he was appointed commander of the army of the Shenandoah and led it to the aid of Genateral Beauregard when McDow-el-l tacked on July 21, 1861, at Manassas. Johnston outranked Beauregard and took command so that he is credited with the victory at Bull Run. The next month he was appointed one of the five full generals authorieed by the Confederate congress (among them Albert Sidney Johnston) but was placed fourth on the list. Johnston protested, and this is said to have been the beginning and cause of the hostility towards him shown by President Davis throughout the war. After the Battle of Seven Pines in 1862, at which Johnston seriously wounded, Davis replaced him in command of the Confederate forces in the East with Gen. Robert E. Lee and the eclipse of Joseph E. Johnston as an outstanding military leader began. The next year he took command of the Department of the West. Both Davis and Johnston have their ardent partisans in the historic dispute between the two and it seems impossible to arrive at any conclusion as to who was most to blame. But the net result was disaster in the West which further weakened the Lost Cause and contributed its share to the downfall of the Confederacy. It fell ,o his lot to play a leading role in the last military scene of the great tragedy which befell the American people .. between 1861 and 1865. Just as he had been in, command at the first major engagement of the war, so was he in command when the last important armed forces of the Confederacy laid down their arms. On April 26, 1865, Johnston surrendered his army to General Sherman on the same terms under which Lee had surrendered to Grant After the war Johnston was president of a railroad in Arkansas, president of an 'express company of Virginia and agent for various Insurance companies. In 1877 he was elected to congress from Virginia and ten years later he was appointed United States commissioner of railroads by Pres! dent Cleveland. He died in 1891. 3 major-gener- s must not be too bulky, but .should be more concentrated than when a scratch mixture of cracked corn and wheat is fed in addition to a bulky mash. When any one of the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, mineral salts, or is then' poor vitamins lacking, growth, low egg production and lowered disease resistance results. For good growth it appears that from 18 to 20 per cent of protein is needed in the chick ration for the first few weeks. Afterwards the protein content maybe gradually reduced to 15 or 16 per cent at twelve weeks of age. Laying hens need about 15 or 16 per cent of protein in ttieir ration. ' Pullets during the first six months of egg laying need ; slightly more protein as egg production is accompanied by slow growth. Wide variations in feeding methods are allowable, says Doctor Norris, as long as the nens get enough of a ration that has the essential nutritive values. Hole in Roof Is Poor Henhouse Ventilator Cutting a hole in the roof is a poor way to ventilate the poultry building because it allows considerable heat to escape, making the house cold, says Prof. A C. Smith, chief of the poultry division at Universityfnrm, St. Paul Running a shaft through the roof to near I he floor is also a faulty method because much of the moisture will escape Ihe shaft and' accumulate near the top of Ihe room where the air is warmest. The easiest and simplest method of keeping the poflltry house comfortable with reference to temperature, moisture and ventilation, Mr. Smith says, is to have i equipped with windows just like those used in dwellings and then use the upper sash for ventilating during extremely coJd weather. The sash may be dropped any distance required by the conditions of wind and weather, but it should never be completely closed, even on the coldest night. There is no automatic system of ventilation that will give complete satisfaction. Mr. Smith says. Any system used will require adjustment and sometimes fids will have to be given several times a day.
