FRESH MARKET BONES.

A Highly Advantaxeous Addition to Ghs
Regular Poultry Ration.
As food for poultry nothing is now
priced more highly among progressive
poultrymen than perfectly fresh mar

to the usual food ration. This ele-ant
food supplies nearly Il not every ele-
ment of the completes egg, as well as
the formation of bone. muscle and
feathers of growing chickens Fresh
bones from the market cost but tri-

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 It has been proved
that green cut bone viii often increase

will also stimulate the fowls during
the Inoulting period to such an extent
that the fowls co not suffer as former

Gigesti.,le form. large quantities of
nitrogen, which is absolutely demand

drawn from the food given to the fowl
instead of being drawn from the re-

her strength, stops her from laying and
makes her prone to disease. We are
sure that the practical and economical
farmer or poultryman of to-day who
looks well at cost will utilize a mate
rial for poultry which brings in the
end the greatest profit We have used
the graduated bone and paid good
price for it, but by using a bone-cutter
we got meat, gristle, oil. fat, fine bone
and granulated 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
interior 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 understand
them for themselves.-Prairie Farmer.

FEEDING THE HICKS.
How to Keep Young Birds Growing and
In Good Health

How to Keep Young Birds Growing and
In Good Health
A writer in the New England Home
stead says: To push young chicks along
and keep them in health, there is
nothing better than boiled eggs mashed
up, shells and all, with two or three
times their bulk Of stale bread crumbs
or cracked crumbs thoroughly mixed.
Mix not more than enough for one feed
of this at time and give them only
what they will eat readily and quickly.
Feed stale bread soaked in milk, either
whole, SKINNED or buttermilk after the
milk has been squeezed out by the
hand. Only one feed of this should be
prepared at time, as it will sour if
left to stand any length of time. Millet
seed scattered in the litter about the
broodhouse or the short grass. plump
wheat screenings, oats and corn ground
together. with an equal quantity of
bran and made into johnny cakes, are
good for the youngsters After they
get to be three weeks old cracked corn
and whole wheat may form a larger
part of their diet, increasing it as they
grow older. Better results are attained
by judicious alteration of all, day
by day. or feed by feed; it keeps the
appetite sharp and they are always on
the lookout for the new surprise at
meal time. Don't forget the pure,
clean water: they need that whatever
the feed. If the soil does not supply
grit in proper shape and size it should
be furnished them; a dish of charcoal
where they can help themselves, or a
handful in the soft feed four or five
times week. will prevent most of the
ordinary bowel troubles. No tonic or
stimulant should be needed at this age,
but if a brood gets suddenly chilled

will help to put them on their feet

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

OF all our meats, mutton is the frees,
of disease.
THE quicker the sheep reaches ma
turity the less food it consumes. Early
maturing sheep, therefore, means low
er cost of production.
Ii 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
cen raise IS clover or grass. and in corn
we have perhaps the best food for fat
t.ning that can be found.
The best thing the sheep breeder
can do is to recognize that conditions
affecting sheep have changed, and pre-
pare to conform to them
As THE American people come to use
their brains more and their muscle
less, fat meat-mutton included-goes
out OF favor. People want flesh and
not fat more and more--Farmer1

STORING WINTER CLOTHING.
How to Save Furs and Wraps from the
Depredations Of Moths.

How to Save Furs and Wraps from the
Depredations Of Moths.
The end of April is time to look after
furs and winter wraps and other arti-
cles that require to be packed away
from the moths.
Where one is fortunate enough to
possess a cedar closet, things may be
stored away in it from time to time.
The greatest care, however, must be
taken to see that NO moth has taken
up its habitation in the garment be-
fore it is stored away. Unfortunately,
if moth eggs have been laid in the gar
ment before it is put away, they will
hatch out in a cedar closet, in an at
mosphere permeated by camphor. to-
bacco or any other article used against
moths. The grub becomes Injured to
his surroundings, and eats the fur or
wool just as eagerly as though he were
cumstances.
1t is necessary, therefore, to beat and
shake thoroughly all articles that are
to be stored away, and if they need
cleaning they should be cleaned at
this time, rather than when they are
taken out, for dirty woolien clothing
naturally attracts moths 1t is wise
plan to beat furs and hang them on a
line in strong light and air. Nogrub
can find Judgment long in such place,
for, like all evil things, they abhor the
light Good housekeepers begin to
put away. on the 14th of April. heavy
bedding and other articles as are need
ed only in the depth of winter, and
continue taking care of things as the Y
are discarded, until the winter fiannels
are put away, usually about the first
of June. The reason for this is that
the month of April is a peculiarly
active month in the insect kingdom.
and it is not safe to leave clothing or
any other articles that may attract
moths hanging about without frequent
inspection. So long as clothing is
worn daily there is no danger.-N. Y.
