WHAT we can not help. and what are

IN mating up your pens, select only
the best birds. Gull mercilessly, and do
not use inferior birds. Above all, let
the male at the head of your yard be
first-class. Remember he is half the
breeding-pen.
WHILE an incubator has one advan-
tage in being always ready for service,
yet it requires more care than hens, ard

time every day in attending to it, the
better plan is to stick to hens.-St. Louis

March from now, and if you should hap
pen to secure 1t chance to buy, the price
will be high, as birds are usually scarce
after the new year sets in. So be wise
now. and buy early, and you will get
better birds and at lower cost than at
any other time of the year.
A GOOD way to utilize broken glass

to be forgotten that to keep poultry
well and economically, care and atten-

WINTER PRECAUTIONS.
Don't Forget That 1t Pays to Warm
Water for Farm Stock.

Don't Forget That 1t Pays to Warm
Water for Farm Stock.
1t is not to be expected that the man
whose stable lets in the light through
the cracks, and whose cattle never
taste grain, will concern himself to
warm water for his stock, but this is
evidently what every progressive
farmer is coming to. Think of
COW standing in II dark, cold
stable where the manure is frozen
solid on the stable floor and plastered
upon the cows sides; and then think of
her turned out in the wind and snow to
drink ice water and go back chilled and
shivering to the stable, or, what is
worse, left TO stand in the cold wind for
hours. Winter dairying would not pay
with cows treated thus, nor does it pay
il any point of view to use any kind of
stool, in such "a way. Yet hundreds of
farmers do nearly or quite as badly or
even worse. But such methods cause "A

OVERRIDING FOWLS.

The Cause of Many Ills i'm Otherwise
Weli-Managed Poultry Yards.
Many ills in the poultry yard come
from causes least suspected, and it
often happens that birds in what are
considered well-managed yards do not
thrive. They first get lame, then get
droopy, then lose color in the comb, and
in two or three weeks get very weak
They generally die. If opened their liv-
er will be found to be affected and some
times it is enlarged. This is the result
of overlooking. This was the first
cause which dcbilitated them and made
them susceptible to other diseases.
They take cold, indigestion follows, and
then diseased liver kills them.
Fowls should be made to hunt for
their feed during the greater part of
the day. This gives them exercise and
keeps them in health. OF course they
should not be starved, but too much
food, with no work to obtain it, is sure
to cause leg weakness and liver COM
plant, and make the system weak and
susceptible to more malignant diseases.
A variety of feed in moderate quantities
and good exercise in hunting for it dur
ing the day time, will prevent such NAL.
aides. During winter a feed of shclled
corn may be given just before going to
roost. This may be given to them in
such way that they can readily pick it
up # they have been made to scratch
through the day.-Farm, Field and

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
Meal and HulIs Combined Furnish Com
plete stock Food.


The seeds from the cotton crop years
ago were thrown away as worthless.
Afterwards they were used alone as u
fertilizer on the coming crop, or in the
compost heat To limited extent they
were then fed to stock without crush
ing.
The next and greatest advance was in
separating the hull and kernel and in
expressing the oil. The oil cake
when ground, known as meal, came
to be used as stock food and as a fer
tilizer. The hulls were first used for
fuel--the ash being used for strong
fcrtilizer-but afterwards We're used
also for stock food.
The combination of meal and hullS
fur4iShes complete food, and is be-
coming to be extensively used for fat
tening purposes The oil is used as IL
component of compound lard. for cook
ing, for lubricating and similar pur-
poses. and when refined is sold as
pure" olive oil. The lower grade is
used for soap-makin%. The small guam
titv of lint is removed from the seed by
improved gins.

product made from one ton cottonseed
