Il season of social recreation is enjoyed

be so conducted that it will be of interest
10 all members of the farmers family, the

WARM TIE CHICKEN FEED After an
experience of several seasons we have
adopted the system of warming the food
all through the winter and cold weather,
both morning and evening. ami we attn
butte the excellent laying qualities OF the
fowls, in great measure, TO dong THIS.
The food, whether whole or broken, grain
or other food. either dry or moistened,
should be warmed we'll before feeding.
Son. breeders, a. well rs farmers. make
practice of parchiug their corn, and are
assured it Is beneficial. Where new. I'M
seasoned corn is used for chicken food this
parching is decided benefit, for it makes
1t equally as good for feeding as old sea-
soned corn. Quite number of poultry
ailments are caused by feeding the new
crop of corn, and parchng 1t will effect
ually prevent any trouble arising from that
source.
Wheat, which is no doubt the best kind
of grain for the laying fowls, much better
than so much corn, which latter fattens sc
quickly as frequently to stop the produc'
ton of eggs temporarily, is much improv-
ed by being heated well before being fed
and then given to the fowls while ye'
warm, not hot In feeding wheat, only
about two.thilds rs much, by measure
should be fed as of corn, and when fed in
that manner is very little, if any, more ex
pensive than corn. Good, sound wheat
only should be used, for, while we see no
objection to screenings, on the score of
unhealthiness, screenings give but little
available food.-Pouttry Monthly.

LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT OF TURKEYS
Farmers frequently have occasion TO sell
turkeys by live weight, and wish to know
what is the fair relative price between live
md dead weight. In turkeys for the New
York market, where the blood and feath
ers only are removed, the loss is vere
mail. For the eastern market the heads
ire taken off and the entrails are taken
out. This makes q loss of nearly on
tenth in weight. A large gobbler was re-
Gently killed, weighing 81 "a pounds. A .
er bleeding and picking he weighed %
l,2 pounds, loss of TWO pounds. or onr-
fifteenth. When ready for the spit hf
weighed % 1-2 pounds, a loss of three an
one quarter pounds which is nearly one
tenth of the weight. When the market
require the New York style of DRESSING
he price is fifteen cents u pound liv'
weight, or less, if the labor of dressin
is counted anything. In the other styl
of dressing, ii the price were twenty cents
the farmer could sell for eighteen cent
or less, live weight. without loss. Farm
ers who have never tested the loss c
| weight in dressing often submit to the de
duction of three or four cents pound fo
the middlemen, who are interested i
making this large MISUNDERSTANDING.
