the light shut off when the curtains
are raised can avoid this by fastening
straight strips of wood securely to the

SYTEM FOR FEEDING FOWLS
Grain Green Food Grubs- Grit ano
Shell Are Necessary In Chicken
Diet — Dry Mash Best j (
For the hen that Is manufacturing
an egg every day or one in two days
It is impossible to get the required
' nourishment fast enough unless it is
taken into the body already ' ground
The best system of feeding then as
- recognized the country over is to give
one or more of the varieties of whole
grain as a means of exercise that
is fed in a deep litter so the fowls
will have to work for it Then use a
variety of ground foods to supply the
1 nourishment heat and energy of the
1 bird
i The four “g’s” give us a cue as to
i what is necessary in the chicken diet
I — grain green food grubs grit and
shell Whole grain gives the best re-
sults when two or more forms are
mixed and fed twice dally in a deep
litter Three parts wheat three parts
cracked corn and one part oats or
equal parts wheat and cracked corn or
kafir makes a good combination One
pint to ten fowls is about the right
amount with the heaviest feed at
night
- J Ground food may be fed in either a
Jdry or wet form but for breeders and
layers dry mash is best while for fat
' tening poultry it is better to use wet
1 mash The dry form may be supplied
in self-feeding hoppers A good mix-
ture would be: - '
Seven pounds mill run seven pounds
cornmeal three pounds beef scrap
two pounds alfalfa leaves' one-half
pound charcoal
KEEP RECORD OF EGGS LAID
Californian Invents Device Possessing
Minimum Danger of Frightening
Hen on Entering
i In describing a trap nest invented
by A G R Keller of Alameda Cal
Scientific American says:-
This invention relates to trap nests
utilized for trapping hens in order
Practical Trap Nest '
that accounts may be kept of the num-
bers of eggs laid by each hen and the
object of the invention is to provide
a construction for accomplishing this
purpose of such a nature that there
will be minimum danger of frighten-
ing the birds either as they enter the
nest or are trapped therein
FEED CHARCOAL EVERY WEEK
Always Advisable toFeed as Early In
Morning as Convenient-Shake
i- - Up the Litter -
Once a week or oftener it may bd
well to add to the hen’s ration a sup-
ply of granulated charcoal In the
winter it is always advisable to feed
as early in the morning as conven-
ient and give the evening meal about
an hour before dark
Shake up the litter with a fork so
that the grain will work down into it
which will compel the fowls to hunt
for their rations
Breed for Winter Egg3
The choice of a breed for the pro-
duction of winter eggs is governed
largely by the peculiar requirements
of the market in which the eggs are
to be sold and also by the demand for
table- poultry which is in many cases
an important side line

COST OF LIVE STOCK
Anwlck Arthur Shire
(By W A HENRY and F B MORRI-
SON Uni versify of Wisconsin)
The most important factor of aU
for the farmer who must depend on
the profits from his stock for his la-
come is the cost of the ration In se-
curing a ration - which provides the
nutrients called for by the' standards
and meets the other conditions pre-
viously discussed lies a great oppor-
tunity for exercising foresight and
business Judgment on every farm
where animals are -fed The wise
farmer-feeder will consider the nutri-
ent requirement of his animals in
planning his crop rotations Through
the use ot grain from corn or the
sorghums legume hay and such cheap
succulence as silage from corn or the
sorghums it is possible in most sec-
tions of the country to go far toward
solving the problem of providing a
well-balanced economical ration
The feedB selected for any animal
Bhould be such that they will not in-
jure its health or the quality of the
product yielded ' Feeds which are
suited to one class of farm animals
may not be adapted to others Again
a given feed may give satisfactory re-
sults when combined with certain
other feeds yet in other combina-
tions it may prove unsatisfactory A
few examples of such conditions are
furnished in the following: Cotton
seed meal in moderate amount is an
excellent feed for cattle sheep and
horses yet it is so frequently poison-
ous to pigs that feeding the meal as
at present prepared to these animals
cannot be advised While there is
always danger from using feeds dam-
QUALIFICATIONS OF
HENS FOR BREEDING
Foundation of Success in Poultry
Keeping Is Ability to Rear
Vigorous Chicks
4 most pernicious idea appears to
be gaining ground in regard to the
qualifications of a ben for breeding
The number of eggs she will lay is
apparently the only passport to the
breeding pen regardless of develop-
ment or constitution By all means let
us have the prolific bens for this pur-
pose but let us see to it that they are
otherwise qualified -
The foundation of Buccess in poul-
try keeping is ability to hatch and
rear strong ' virile chickens and
these can only result from strong
well-developed and well-cared-for par-
ents This also applies to the subse-
quent egg production Therefore it
follows that If a hen is weedy and run
down she is not a fit subject for
breeding no matter how many eggs
she has laid But it does not follow
that' a good layer should be discard-
ed as a breeder That would be go-
ing to the other extreme but what
Bhould be insisted upon is bodily de-
velopment of sufficient proportions
and strength to indicate a breeder of
robust stock
INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime Accord- '
Jng to English Test - :
From careful records taken of 19
Shorthorn cows it was found by an
English agricultural society that the
average gestation pefSods of cows
bearing bull calves was 28891 days
of Cows bearing heifer calves 28375
days The longest period In the
former was 297 days and the short-
est period 280 days in the latter 293
and 274 The average weight of the
bull calves was 8945 pounds that ot
the heifer 825 pounds It was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf in each case
It was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from lows In their
prime that is ranging from five to
seven years of age after that age the
calves 1 appear to become smaller at
birth It is thought: safe to take an
average of 285 days as the period of
gestation and 84 pounds as the av-
erage weight of a Shorthorn calf at
birth - - ' s
RATION IMPORTANT
Stallion Foaled 1908
aged by mold such material may
often be eaten by cattle when it would
poison horses or sheep Timothy hay
which is the standard roughage for
the horse is unsatisfactory for the
dairy cow and may cause serious
trouble with Bheep on account of its
constipating effect
Feeding cows a heavy allowance
ot ground and soy beans produces un-
duly soft nutter while an excess of
cocoanut meal makes the butter too
hard Peanuts and soy beans produce
soft lard when forming too large a
part of the ration of fattening pigs'
It is often highly beneficial to add
wheat bran or linseed meal to the
ration on account of their sliiih$ly
laxative efffcL On the other hand
when animals are already receiving
such laxative feeds as silage pasture
grass and legume hay the use of
bran or linseed meal may be unwise
With the horse and with ycung
ruminants the ration must contain
some roughage to distend' the diges-
tive tract properly Furthermore for
the( best results the proportion of ton-
centrates afld roughage in the ration
should be regulated according to the
kind and class of animal to be fed
and the results sought Cattle steep
and horses can be wintered satisfac-
torily on roughages alone If of suit-
able quality Even brood sows may
be maintained chiefly von legume hay
when not suckling their young In
the rations for growing and fattening
animals and those at work or in milk
a considerable part of the ration
should consist of concentrates
TESTS OF COST OF
I MILK PRODUCTION
Study Made by Cornell (N Y)
Experiment Station With
834 Cows in 53 Herds
From a study made by the Corn 11
(N Y) experiment Btation of tae
costs incident to milk production for
834 dairy cows with full year's records
in 63 dairy herds in Jefferson county
N Y it was found that 7 of the 63
herds comprising 97 cows were kept
at a loss of $133571
On the basis of net cost and actual
receipts 161 cows or 19 per cent of
the total number caused a loss to
their owners of $179987 or $1118 per
cow The average production was
6621 pounds of milk and 241 pounds
of milk fat The milk was produced
at a net cost of 121 cents and the
milk fat at 333 cents per pound
Tho average selling price of the
milk was 162 cents per pound and
the net profit per cow was $2039 Ibe
net cost per cow was $8024 and the
receipts were $10063 The average
cost of feed per cow was $5157 and
the labor cost $2312 The average
cost of delivering 100 pounds of milk
214 miles was 117 cents The profit
from cows yielding 10000 pounds of
milk a year was 61 per cent greater
than from those yielding 6000 pounds
COVERED SHED FOR
STOCK GAINS FAVOR
To Obtain Best Results Cement
Floor Should Be Provided-
Shelter for Animals
One of the most popular methods t f
caring for manure is the cover Bd
shed To obtain the best results the
shed should be provided with a ce-
ment floor inclined at each end to
allow a spreader to be run in at one
end and out at the other the sides
Bhould be sufficiently high to- contain
all the manure to be stored
The manure should be placed evenly
over the floor and that from horses
cattle sheep and hogs mixed to pre-
vent as far ap possible aerobic fer-
mentation and cqpsequent loss of ni-
trogen The cattle In the yard should
be allowed to trample over it and it
may be worked over by the hogs with-
out much danger of loss -
In addition to being a storehouse
for manure the Bhed furnishes a shel-
ter for farm animals which will com-
pact the manure so that the aerobic
fermentation responsible for the 'loss
of nitrogen will be largely prevented

There’s
Salmon Thrive In Maine
Success has been met by the bu-
reau of fisheries in establishing hump-
back salmon on the Maine coast ac-
cording to reports from that terri-
tory The flBh were planted in Febru-
ary 1914 Many fish weighing five
to seven and a half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river Me
and twenty Vere captured alive by
agents of tho bureau near Bangor and
held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs
From two of these fish 3000 eggs were
taken September 6 and after fertili-
zation Bent to the Craig Brook hatch-
ery for incubation Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers and an
employee of the Green Lake hatchery
took fifteen fish last week These had
passed through the fishways in dams
in Dennys river and were dropping
down stream in a Bpent condition at
the same time both live and dead fish
were observed below the dams
