CHEAPEST POULTRY RATION.
Cut Green Bone an Important Factor.
Value of Animal Food.


Progressive poultry men recognize
the advantage of feeding animal food
of some kind to poultry. They also I'M
derstand the value of cut bone in the
feeding ration. Up to within fow
years only dry bones were used in this
way because Of the difficulty in smash
ing green bones into suitable size for
Eeding. Since then machines have been
pat upon the market for cutting or sic.
ing the green bones, and this has in
many places almost rovolutionized pOul.

tains considerable meat and pris;le,
/ which, when cut up with tho hard
bone, make a very heterogeneous food
which could hardly he utilized in any
other way. BY running it through one
Of these machines the bone is changed
into Il soft, pasty mass that may be fed
alone or when mixed with grain or veg

The cheapest poultry ration was the
subject for correspondence in the col
umns of The Rural New Yorker recent
ly and in nearly every instance cut
bone was one of the ingredients spoci-
fed
A New York correspondent said that
he fed his poultry fresh cnt raw bone,
oats, conmeal, wheat bran aud mid
dlings, whole wheat, corn in ear and
buckwheat varied for a change The
cheapest ration is cats in the bundle
cut fine with straw cutter for winter
feed. In summer let them 90 to grass.
James Rankin wrote The main feed
to my hens when confined in winter is

green rye and boiled tulnips, one-third

A Pennsylvania who dovotes his
time and attention to duck raising said:
Green bone Is an economical feed. Hav-
ing fed about 90 tons this season places
us in a position to know its merits We
mix it with other feed. Fifteen per cent
ground bone is about right for ducks,
young and old; also for hens and brOil-
ers. Green bone costs 80 cents per 100
pounds at the slaughter house. Raising
ducks is our main business The feed
should consist of 10 per cent green bone,
20 per cent bran, 90 per cent No. flour,
Is per cent crackers, 30 per cent corn
meal. To this should be added green
food of some kind, such as corn, rye,

The season for farmers Institutes is
here. OF all plans yet tried Wi consin's

the work is under the direction of the
college of agriculture, with compe
tent superintendent i'll charge. In some
states the state board of agriculture has
control, while in others certain sum
is given each county society which is
used for institute purposes. But in
many places this work, if accomplished
at all, must be pushed by IA few of the
leaders i'll tho community. While it is
well to rely largely upon home talent,
the best interests Of the farmers insti-

RESTORING Run out Pastnres.

The nature and food of our common
grasses are not so well understood as
they should be. On nearly all soils all
Of the common grasses that make up
the turf of our permanent pastures Will
in time grow less luXuliantly ON ac-
count of the decrease in the soil of ono
element Of plant food, nitrogen. These
grasses make use of the nitrogen already
in the soil, and in time this stock grad
ually becomes depleted. These plants
cannot gather nitrogen. They can only
use what some other plants have stored
up for them. 1t is extremely fortunate
for the American farmer that he can
grow abundantly another class of for
age plants which restore to the land
more nitrogen than they take from it.
Because the clovers make use of the nj
trogen Of the atmosphere they are par
ticularly suited to restore to the soil
this element that has been exhausted by
the grasses through long continued
growth. As rule, whenever permanent
pastures show signs of failure, through
lack of fertility, new vigor may be in
troduced, if slight stand of clov can
be secured. This, Of course, will be Of
short duration, only year or two at
most, unless it be white clover, bat this
short growth will be sufficient to leave
enough nitrogen in the soil to sustain
permanent pasture grasses for several
years. If clover can be introduced, the
benefit will likely be lasting, as this
plant is perennial Rural New York.

Changing Seed Corn.

The introduction of seed from a diff
ferent locality has often been followed
by increased yields, and it is considered
good practice to make a change occa-
sionally. However, where the seed
corn is carefully selected each season,
the same variety can be used success
fully for great many years. Numerous
instances are Oh record where instead
of running out" the same variety
grown continuously on the same farm
has yielded heavier and become better
in almost every respect. Plant only the
most vigorous seed from the earliest and
best ears is advice that every progress
i've farmer gives.

said last evening that he desired to ex-
plain telegram which appeared in yes

gram put him in the light of an English
adventurer. "It is true said he, 'that
am an Englishman, but ! have been in the
United States service for ten years, receiv-
ing honorable discharge. l have the pa

taking up the flow of oratory and carrying
the meeting to n happy and harmonious
close with the following words:
The business of the convention having been
completed desire TO congratulate you on the
happy determination of the questions which
have been submitted to you. We met here
with single purpose, and that was to advance
the mining interests OF this coast and in our
humble way 10 attract the attention of capital
lists TO the coast.
The Miners Association has accomplished a
great deal for the mining industry. We have
in a large measure allayed the antagonism
that existed between the hydraunckers and
the people of the valleys These great an
tagonistic interests have about settled all their
differences. Our influence Is growing and so
too is our organization, for | understand that
more county associations are being formed i'll
the southern part OF the state.
With three rousing cheers for President
Neff, the convention stood adjourned till
its next annual meeting.
At the session of the executive commit
tee last night at which twenty-seven mem
bers were present, the financial condition
of the association was under discussion,
and the country members were urged to
thoroughly explain the workings of the
association and that 1t requires means to
carry out its plans. They promised their
hearty support and to do all in their power
to augment the strength and increase the
usefulness of the organization. All ex-
pressed themselves as being we'll pleased
