It Il the Best Way to Exercise Poultry in
the Winter.
The sketch herewith shows the sec
ond-best" scratch room for my fowls
this winter. which proved SO useful last
season. A frame 12x16 feet of posts,
poles and brush, and upon the brush
roof, fodder piled deep will be the style
OF it. The north and west will be
banked with bound bundles of the fod-
der, the east end viii be against the
west end of the main poultry house, and
the south. which is the front, win be
muslin covered. The muslin breaks
the wind and cold from them, and al
lows the sun to shine in across the
whole floor The muslin-covered door
opens into the room from the yard.
This for my make-shift scratch-room.
Besides this i have a permanent
scratch-room, which is very necessary
part of the poultry plant. This is upon
the east end of the poultry house. il
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1896-12-02


12x15 feet, feet high in front and
slopes to feet high at the back. The
roof is shingled and the front that was
once nuslin-covered, is now of board
ing and windows, for throughout the
year it is in use for different purposes.
This room is divided into two compart-
ments by wire fence netting, for sum-
rner use as rooms for breeding stock or
for hens and chicks. But when used
for a winter scratch-room, the door Is
left open and they have ali the room to
work in. The floor is deep covered with
straw, and the fowls are kept sufficient
ly hungry to keep them scratching.
Small doors. less than a foot square,
open into either room from the roost-
ing, OF main house.
When the weather is dry and the corn
fodder palace 90 perfectly dry, they
are divided into two focks. But should
the fodder-built room become damp,
they all go to the room that is dry and
warm. Sometimes they are little
crowded. But as soon az their house Is
cleaned in the morning, they have that
room also to exercise in.
The cost of such a permanent scratch
room is not great. And the one con-
structed of fodder costs nothing at all
except the work, for the refuse brush,
poles, ETC., are found upon almost any
farm. If you have not the fodder in
available shape, you have surely plenty
of straw. Many farmers have their sup
ply of straw baled every year. Such
material as baled straw to bank the sides
of such a room could scarce be sur
passed Once the scratch-room theory
is put into practice in ones poultry
yards, the practice will never he aban-
doned. for the birds must have exercise.

FOODS FOR POULTRY.

why 1t Is More Advantageous to Feed
Everything Dry.
The natural food of fowls is composed
of seeds, insects and grass. In the do
mestic condition we allow grain, grass
and meat. Turkeys and chickens drink
very little water when feeding, and
even ducks and geese resort to water
when feeding sometimes, in order to
wash their bills more than to drink,
says the Poultry Keeper.
This brings up the question OF the
propriety of feeding soft food. 1t is
known that ground grain absorbs a
large volume of water, and when the
mixture is apparently dry, quite large
proportion of water exists in it, though
more so when the mixture is very moist
and sloppy 1t is not beneficial water,
as the results are sometimes Injurious.

1t is better to feed all food dry, If
possible, and keep trough full OF wa

quantity they desire. Even ground
food may be given in dry condition.
the different substances used being
thoroughly mixed and placed in a
trough. When chicks are fed they
have cornmeal moistened several times
a day. and bowel disease results simply
because too much water is forced upon
them in the food. The fowls never re-
sort to wet food when they can get dry
kinds, and this is a matter that deserves
attention.

Feeding Apples to Hogs,

There is good deal of nutrition in
apples, especially those of sweet va
rites. Where they are plentiful and
cheap, as sweet apples are almost sure
to be when the crop is abundant, they
are good feed for logs. But they are
not full ration, and should always be
fed cooked and mixed with some kind
of grain or meal. which should be put
in while the cooked apples are hot, and
thus cooked with them. The apples
make the grain much more digestible
than it would be without them. Thus
the appetite is kept from being cloyed,
which is the greatest difficulty in feed
ing grain to animals of any kind.

NEGOTIATING LAND.
The Principle of incubation In the Do

The Principle of Inoculation In the Do
main of Agriculture.
Research has demonstrated that the
soil of our fields is literally teeming
with bacteria, which, according to some
recent experiments, may be present to
the extent of $4,000, 900 per gramme
1.-THE one-twenty-sixth part of an ounce)
of soil; and that these bacteria are
largely instrumental in conducting to
the successful growth of vegetation by
preparing, in forms suitable for assimi-
lation by the plant, the different food
substances 1T derives from the soil, says
the Quarterly Review. The latest APP
plication, in the domain of agriculture,
of the great principle of incubation.
is in many respects of a more striking
nature than anything yet accomplished
by this line of research, and consists Of
the inoculation of the soil with pure
cultures of bacteria for the purpose of
promoting plant growth.
incubation of soil with these cul-
lures, on a practical scale, may be af-
fected in either of two ways First. the
seed of the crop it is desired to inocu-
late may be inoculated before it is
sown. This is effected by making a
watery solution of the pure cultivation,
immersing the seed in it, and subse-
quently drying it; or, secondly, it may
be effected by inoculating quantity of
fine sand or earth in the same way. and
then spreading ii over the field and sub
sequently workingit into the soil to a
depth of about three inches. Natural
~, point Of considerable interest is
the economic question of the cost Of
such treatment. 1t is interesting to
learn that this is extremely moderate.
as the expense of inoculating field in
this way amounts to the very moderate
sum of five shillings per acre. This can
not be regarded as expensive, and con-
trasts faForably with the expense of
heterogeneous fertilizers.
