A Highly Advaaeo9o0i6 Addition t. taO
Regular Poultry Rstaos.
AS food for poultry nothing is now
priced moro highly among progressive
poultrymen than perfectly fresh mar
ket bones, cut mp each day. In addition
to the usual food ration. This elegant
food supplies nearly If not every ele-
ment of the complete egg, as we'll as
the formation Of bone. muscle and
feathers Of growing chickens. Fresh
bones from tho market cost but a tri-
hc. They should be obtained fresh
each day. Their value Is due to the
perfectly fresh animal food which they
contain, along with the other elements
not found in sufficient quantities in
corn and wheat. 1t has been proved
that green cut bone will often increase
the egg yield from 50 to 100 per cent. It
will also stimulate the fowls during
the moilting period to such an extent
that the fowls do not suffer az former.
ly in this trying time The juices and
gristle in the fresh bone contain. in .

ed in forming the new quilts and new
feathers Therefore. in moulting this
nitrogen, when fresh bones are fed. is
drawn from the food given to the fowl
instead of being drawn from the re-
serve force of the fowl, which takes
her strength. stops her from laying and
makes her prone to disease. We arc
sure that the practical and economical
farmer or poultryman of to-day who
looks we'll at cost will utilize a mate
rial for poultry which brings in the
end the greatest profit. We have used
the granulated bone and paid q good
price for it, but by using . bone-cutter
we got meat. gristle, oil, fat. fine bono
and granula ted bone, all in one opera
ton. The sharp, hard pieces of bone
act as grit; the fine bone helps to
make the shell, and the other half or
two-thirds of ordinary market bones is
rich, nourishing food, forming the
feathers and flesh of the fowl and the
Inferior of the eggs in abundance. We
advise all of our readers to look care
fully into these new methods of feed
ing as they come up, and understs nd
them for Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

OF all our meats, mutton is the freest
of disease.
THE quicker the sheep reaches ma =
turity the less food it consumes Early
maturing sheep, therefore, means low
er cost of production.
If wool is low in price it will add
something to the profits of sheep hus-
bandry. But now, as never before,
mutton is the standby.
The cheapest food for hogs that we
car raise is clover or grass, and in corn
we have perhaps the best food for fat
ts.ning that can be found
TIE best thing the sheep breeder
can do is to recognize that conditions
affecting sheep have changed, and pre-
pare to conform to them.

way Is to kill all the diseased birds
