POULTRY
f HACTICAL TALK ON POULTRY
Much Advice Given by Theoretical
Writers Not Worthy of Consid-
eration on Average Farm
The advlco commonly given In poul-
try papers would rcqulro one to oxer-
clso nearly as much pains In tho
cleaning of a chicken houso as in the
cleaning of a kitchen. Such advlco
may be suitable for tbo city poultry
fanciers but some of It is out of place
when given to tho farmer. Poultry
raising the samo as any other farm
work must pay for the labor put into
It and this will not bo tho caso If at'
tempt Is mado to follow all tho sug-
gestions of the theoretical poultry
raiser.
The caso with which tho premises
may bo kept reasonably frco from Ut-
ter nnd filth Is a largely a matter of
convenient arrangoment. Tho handi-
est plan from this viewpoint is the
colony Bystem. In this tho houses
nro moved to new locations as tho
ground becomes soiled. If the chicken
house Is a stationary structure It
should bo built away from other
buildings scrap-piles fence corners
etc. oo that tho ground can bo fre-
quently freshened by plowing and
sowing In oats ryo or rape. The
ground should be well sloped so that
the water draining from tho eurfaco
may wash away much of the filth
that on level ground would nccumu-
lato. Cleanliness Indoors can be
simplified by propor arrangement
First the houso must be dry. Poultry
droppings when dry are not n source
of danger If kept out of the feed.
This may bo accomplished by pro-
viding dropping boards under tho
roosts. Tho droppings In tho poultry
bouse should be removed often enough
to prevent foul odors. It is beBt to
clean It every day. Dry earth .gath-
ered In the fall and stored In bins Is
an excellent cleansing agent to uso
on tho dropping board of the chicken
bouse. Drinking vessels should bo
rinsed out when refilled and not al-
lowed to accumulate a coat of slime.
Many poultry writers glvo Innumer-
able diseases and lists of remedies
concerning which the averago farm
poultryman needs no knowledge
whatever. There Is very llttlo defi-
nitely known on the subject of poul-
try diseases. Poultry ailments are
assignable to one of the three follow-
ing caurea or a combination of these:
First hereditary or Inborn weakness;
second unfavorable conditions of food
surroundings etc.; third germs or
animal parasites.
A great many chickens die within
tho shell or during tho growing pro-
cess there being no assignable rea-

son save that of Inherited weakness.
For this class of troubles the only
remedy Is to breed from tho better
stock.
The prevention of tho second class
of ailments comes under tho general
head of "Feeding." A chicken wheth-
er young or old to thrive well must
hnvo exercise clean wator grit a va
riety of grain food green or succu
lent food and casein or meat foods
The food requirements of a laying
hen are very llko those required by
n growing chicken. Yarded or shut-in
hens should be oupplicd with moro
llrao than tho food contains however
to provide for the egg shell. Crushed
oyster shell Is much used for thla
purpose.
The third class of ailments belongs
to the group of contagious diseases.
These contagious diseases may bo
grouped Into tho general classes:
First those highly contagious; sec-
ond those contracted by fowls that
are in a weakened condition. Chicken
cholera U representative of the first
class. This Is spread by droppings
and dead blrdB and through feed
and water. To stamp out the disease

disinfect tbo premises frequently and
thoroughly with a spray made of one-
half gallon carbolic acid one-halt gal-
lon of phenol and 20 gallons of water.

Where the Money Is.

tbo same price for the feed that goes
to make the eggs. And that's where

MAINTAIN PURITY OF BREEDS
Dairy Type Is Spare and Angular With
Soft Pliable Hide and Covered
With Soft Smooth Hair.
(By J. If. nUNDBEN rrofeaaor of
Dairy Husbandry University of Ne-
braska.) A comparison of tho beef and dairy
types of animal Is perhaps the most
effective way of showing what are tho
distinct dairy characteristics. Tho
beef Is generally henvy and sluggish
while the dairy animal Is sparo nnd an-
gular and refined with a soft and pita-
bio hide well covered wltb smooth soft
hair. The head Is lean and a llttlo

neck Is long and lean Joining to the
body rather abruptly. Tho withers
aro sharp with the spinal column
prominent and the barrel long and ca-
pacious Indicating good feeding capa-
city. The ribs are sprung down and
outward and wide spaced the heart
and loin girth large and the tall Ana
with a heavy switch. The form of the"
dairy cow Is frequently spoken of as
tho "triple wedge" form. First she
shows Increased depth of body to-
wards the rear when viewed from ono
side. Secondly she widens gradually
from the breast to the points of the
hips. Thirdly looking down on the
back the form widens gradually down-
ward llko a wedge. The udder Is
well developed and even quartered; la

emptied. Tho milk veins are large
and tortuous and enter the abdominal

The dairy type can be found In
many of the breeds but most charac

breeds. l)y tho dairy breeds are meant
those that have become most noted
for uniformly conforming to tho true

the breeds and fixing their character-
istics these breeds can In most cases
be counted on to reproduce their dairy
qualities and their ability to produce
butter-fat. In large quantities. It is
largely for this reason that the dairy-
man who desires success to follow hit
efforts should stick close to one of
the dairy breeds.
RAISING BEST DAIRY BREEDS
No Mora Profitable Line of 8tock
Growing Than Raising Good Cows
and Selling to Dairymen.
Any farmer Is snfe In breeding and
raising for sale large milking or but
ter-producing cows. As an industry
tbore Is no moro profltablo lino of
stock growing thnn raising good cows
and Belling them to the dairymen who
are making a specialty of producing
market milk or eolllng their milk to
condensnry plants where they do not
havo the by-product returned to their
farina to reed out 'to the calves that
nro being raised to replace the cows
that aro annually discarded from their
herds.
The keeping of more cows for
creameries and cheese factories Is also
encouraging and many men are willing
to pay a good price for well-bred dairy
cows.
Keep the Best Cows.
Tho man who comes to your dairy
farm nnd wants to buy the belters
from the best cows Is not always your
best friend. Be careful before you
sell thorn to him. It Is moving back-
wards In tho dairy Industry to let
those go.
Great Benefit to Buyers.
Financially cow testing Is of very
great benefit; young bulls sell for
higher prices' cows sell for double the
old prices when buyers soe records.
Treating Scoural
When common scours appear Imme-
diately reduce the feed one-half.
Feeding Unprofitable Cows.
And still some farmer go on feed-
ing 70-cent corn to unprofitable cows.
