door In front makes easy work of
gathering the eggs. A curtain of mus-
lin or canvas working on a roller may
be let down in front of the roosts on
extremely cold nights to prevent fro-
zen combs.
Test the Setting Hen.
The bens should be allowed to set
on china eggs for a few days before
giving them good eggs. In order to
let them get used to tbe coop and also
to seo If they are really In earnest

To Make Hens Contented.
Remember tho hens are not made
happy with elegance but with condi-
tions which make for their well-being
and comfort. Dryness freedom from

enough of tbe right kind of food will
make them sing and when they sing
they produce results.

an additional pound of concentrates.
Cows fed entirely on bay for rough-
age thould be given about 20 pounds

meal Instead of one pound.
H0ISTF.R FOR THE PIT SILOS
Arrangement 8hown In Illustration
Herewith Will Be Found to Be
Quite Handy In Digging.
Four underground silos were dug In
our neighborhood last fall and all are
successful. Three of the parties are
now planning to dig more thla season.
To the man that Intends to keep cattle
and hasn't the money to build a llo
above the ground. I would say dig a
pit silo. Tbe sketch shows the rig I
used In digging mine wrIUs C. R.
Wooley of Calhoun Colo In the
Farmers' Mall and Breeze. A Is a box
two feet square with a 'hinged bottom
and catch that locks with a pin. The
trip rope F Is fastened to this pin.
nUD are pulleys. C It a one-inch rope
used to raise and lower the box. D
Earth Holtter for Silo.
Is a wire cable and K a cable carrier.
The whole thing operates like a bay
fork. In raising the earth box and
pulling It along to where It Is dumped
the trip rope U drawn through the
pulley backwards until the hook H is
reached. This catches In tbe pulley
and the draft la then thrown on tbe
trip rope wbtcb pulls out the pin
holding tbe hinged bottom and the
load Is dropped. The driver then
hooks tbe singletree to the trip rope
at II and draws the carrier and box
back to tbe silo.
Good Quality of Butter.
In the making of a good quality of
butter tbe temperature of the cream
when It goes Into tbe churn Is an Im-
portant factor. A good thermometer
Is the only safe guide. It too cold as
It often Is In winter one of the best
plans of warming up Is to put the
cream Into a vessel and set In a larger
vessel and pour hot water into the
larger vessel and let stand stirring
the cream frequently so that tbe mats
will warm up evenly until the desired
temperature Is secured. Detter have
a little warm than too cold ac usu-
ally the temperature will drop ono or
two degrees after charnlna; com-sieaeej.

RAISE CHICKENS IN WINTER
Broiler Raiting It a Specialty In Poul-

Profit to Worker.
Br PROr A. B. ALEXANDER.)
Chicks can endure cold weather bet-
ter than extreme heat. Disease lice
izi xaites always come with the sum-
zser tsontht. and the expense of feed-
lag is co greater In winter. Profits
can be realized from broods hatched In
November December and January.
The tricter hatches do not grow aa
fatt as the spring ones but a heavier
coat of feathers Is grown. They
feather fast In the winter months

and May when prices are at the high'
est point.
Droller ralslcg It a specialty In
poultry work and returns good profit
to those who are successful. The one
who haa his own fowls can make sure
of the fertility of tbe eggs uied.
I raise three and four thousand
chickens every year and find the per-
centage of mortality email In the win-
ter and early rprlng. The cost ol rais-
ing broiler chicks In January and
February Is no greater than In May
and June. The latter are marketable
In July and Augcst when the market
is glutted.
The April and May returns are from
35 to 50 cents per pound 60 to SO
cents per chicken which costs about
25 cents to ralie a Tery good profit.
On the other hand the August price
shows but a small margin of profit
with a. lower per cent of hatches
and larger per cent of mortality.
The secret of profit from broiler
raising Is to produce high class broil-
ers that will bring top prices at the
smallest cost with rapid growth. Eggs
averaging high in fertility produced
by stock that Is strong and vigorous
'make tbe battle half won at the start.
Tbe business Is not only good now
but will be even better In the future
as wild game disappears. Much of tbe
prairie chicken and quail served at
fashionable hotels are nothing rrore
or less than common guinea hens and
pigeons. When a knowledge of this
fact becomes more common the do-
mestic ben will become more popu-
lar and her products consequently
higher in price.
PouLTPYNoms
Cater to tbe market.
Capons sell best when choice game
cannot be exposed for tale.
It must not be forgotten that food
flavors the flesh as well aa the egg.
The most certain way of Identifying
poultry roup Is a characteristic sick-
ening odor.
Don't overfeed the first week of fat-
tening. Rather feed lightly three
times a day.
Have everything ready beforehand
and start your hatching operations
early in tbe year.
Whole corn Is a 'good feed for set-
ting hens. Water grit and dust baths
should also be provided.
Cornmcal meat and potatoes are
three of tbe most valuable Ingredi-
ents In tbe fattening bill of fare.
A hen cannot lay an egg unless she
has tbe food with which to make It-
Grain alone cannot make many eggs.
Do not compel the hens to eat snow
for drink. Give them plenty of clean
water slightly warmed three times a
day.
Dirty nests and dirty floors mean
dirty eggs and dirty eggs never fetch
the highest prices neither do washed
ones.
Pullets and hens with coarse masculine-looking
heads seldom make
good layers and It Is wise to dispose
of such early in the season.
Mating birds with two extremes of
color will never produce a medium
color. Both sides of tho mating should
be as near right as possible.
See that the Incubator is running
steadily at the desired temperature be-
fore filling tt with eggs. Do not add
eggs to a machine during Incubation.
FARM

AVOID THE SPRING DISEASES.
Give Extra Attention to Health in&
Condition of AM Farm. Stock-
Worms Cause Much Trouble.
Now Is the time to give a little ex-
tra attention to the health and con-
dition of jour theep and hogs; In
fact all farm stock. Never was a
"stitch In time" more profitably ta-
ken than right now In doing all you
can to rid our stock of worms and
parasite Infection. Practically all
tpring diteases and troubtea ol all
farm stock are cawed by worms and
with tbe opening of spring tbee
pests will develop and multiply In In-
calculable numbers and with such
ravenous and destructive appetites It
Is impossible for farm stock to thrive

Their presence Is Indicated by
drowsy dull eyes rough coats. gaunt-
nets general rundown condition. In-
digestion finally resulting In the de-

the animals may have a good appe-
tite but the food they eat does them

the worms In the stomach are getting
all the nutrition and the animal Is
practically starving. Get rid of tbe
worms early and when spring opens
up 7our stock will bate every chance
to thrive aud keep healthy.
Give them a good tcnlc something
that will kill and expel tbe worms
and at tbe tame time tone and con-
ditio a the stomach. Do It now and

Every Farmer Knows importance of
Arranging Floor So That Animal
Escapes Injury by Slipping.
ny JOHN T BEATTY. In the Karro nJ
FlrwMe-i
Every live stock farmer knows tbe
need for a good loading chute but
anyone who has bad the misfortune
to have an animal slip on a chute re-
alizes the great Importance of hav-
ing the floor so arranged that there is
no cnance for the animal to slip even

way. Instead of laying the floor In
the usual way the boards are each
laid up over tbe edge of tbe one just In
front. This makes the edge of each
board a cleat and these cleats do not
break off. It takes Just a little more
lumber to make such a chute but the
safety of tt much more than repay
for the extra cost. When you come
right down to It the extra cost
amounts to but little anyway.
ATTENTION TO COLT'S FEET
Practice and Observation Will 8oon
Enable Man to Determine Amount
of Trimming Needed.
Regular attention to the feet of colts
Is absolutely necessary In this country.
The hoofs often tend to grow In ab-
normal ways too long on one side
tending to twist the fetlock Joint or
too loug at the toe which tends to
strain tbe ligaments and which also
tends to faulty .action.
In trimming the hoof all that needs
to be done can be done with a rasp.
The boot wall should be rasped off on
the bottom surface until tbe relation
of the heel side and toe Is approxi-
mately one two and three In length
and the work should be done in such
a manner as to cause the foot to rest
squarely on the ground. Practice and
observation will soon enable a man
who has fair Judgment to determine
Just what trimming each colt needs
and how often attention will be re-
quired. As a general rule tbe feet
should be examined every six or eight
weeks.
Handy Hoof Hook.
A hoof hook should be Included In
the equipment of a well regulated
stable. The feet of the horse should
be cleaned every morning before he
leaves the stable. The hoof hook will
remove all litter pebbles or anything
that may have become lodged In thn
fooL This precaution may prevent
Injury to the sole or sensitive struc-
tures of the foot. If the feet become
very dry pack them dally for a week
with some form of clay. Then apply
lard to the wall to which may be
added pine tar. and roils.
