Feeding In Troughs.

1t is fact we'll known that ali
fiocks contain domineering hens, and
they keep the timid ones in constant
fear and subsection. When food is
given in trough, where the hens can
eat their fill, the domineeling ones
keep some of the others back and eat
twice as much as their share, while
the less fortunate fowls do not get
enough, the result being that some
hens become very fat, while others
are not even in fair condition. The
remedy for this difficulty is to not feed
in troughs unless it cannot be avoided,
but to scatter the grains and compel
every hen to hunt and scratch for her
share thus giving each an equal advan-
taRe. When feeding soft food troughs
must be used, however; but to avoid
monopoly by few it better to have
several small troughs placed at differ
emit points than to put the food into
one trough only. 1t is better to so feed
that the hens must take plenty of time
to pick up their food. instead of stuff.
ing their crops in short time, rs they
will then digest larger proportion of
the food consumed and be less liable to
disease,

If a large flock is kept, then they
must have ample space for convenience
and comfort. but even in this case the

venient means for ventilatiDg near the
top.
Ii is not easy 70 always tell the cost
OF buildings. Many things in material
and location will vary it and besides
fanciers' tastes are widely different
In some localities lumber and labor
are cheap, and therefore a house may
be constructed at merely a nominal
cost. Still. il so desired. any amount
can be expended, though perhaps with
no better results than il cheaper houses
are used.
Many most excellent plans have time
and again been illustrated, and it rests
only with the individual to select the
style suited TO the price he wishes to
pay. No matter how or where he
builds, there is one thing he must re-
member, and that is that he must be
kept comfortable, both winter and
summer. Therein lies half the battle,
and if the building be constructed with
this end in view, there need be no
scarcity of eggs at all seasons of the
year.

Fig Culture in the west

The fig is semi-tropical fruit com.
! ing chiefly from the shores of the
Mediterranean sea. The trees are be.
ing planted quite extensively in Ari-
iona, California, New Mexico and the
warmer sections of Utah. Kern
county, California, has "a 900 acres
planted to figs, and several other
equally favored valleys in the Golden
State have good areas planted to this
new fruit. The largest fig orchard in
the world is supposed to be on big
fruit-farm near Phoenix, Arizona,
This extensive tract has recently come
into bearing, and the fruit finds a mar.
ket in our country. The trees bear
we'll and are usually in good fruit AT
four years. if properly handled. Some
growers have theory that cultivation
prevents growth and diminishes the
quantity of fruit. but this seems TO be
only an idle theory. The trees REQUIRE
light, shallow cultivation and clean
ground, If good crops are expected.
Fig trees are low and shrubby, the
limbs bending ovsr to the ground, and
frequently taking root, like the canes
OF the raspberry. The leaves are rough
above and smooth below, varying in
size and design, and are much desired
for parlor ornaments. The Mormons
regard the fig as q sacred tree, using
the leaves for aprons in temple work
and for adjoining the dead when ready
for burial. The fruit grows singly.
on stem, and resembles o small pear.
There are several varieties of the fig.
but the ones have noticed and those
most frequently planted in the West
are the Adriatic. Brunswick and Cali
fornia. The finest trees and best fruits
have seen were of the White Adriatic.
but the Black California is a choice
variety, grown on the Pacific Coast.
FIGS are hand-picked and dried in the
sun or by evaporators. similar to
piunes. when they are packed in boxes
OF i've aud ten pounds. and placed on
the market.

thing in fig culture. In tho warm.

Crop-Round In snrinp

At this season it may be noticed that
some of the hens will have bowel diff.
GUILTY and the crops will be distended.
This is due to the eating of seed which
are not separated from the stalk, the
hens swallowing the whole of each
stalk because of the difficulty of separ-
ating the seeds, and in short time
the crop is packed with a dense mass
OF such material, portion of which
begins to decompose, the whole soon
being Of character to cause blood
poisoning. The symptoms are full and
hard crops and watery discharge from
the bowels. the hens becoming droopy.
The remedy is to prevent them from
having access to the hay or other
coarse. dry and unsuitable materials.
and give green food, if possible, OF
keep them up until grass begins to
appear. Medicine will be of no avail,
as the materials in the crop should be
removed by opening the crop and sew.
ing the opening afterwards. It NAV
prove effioaoious, but thers is no Other
way to save the fowls.

Exercise for Breeding Fowls.

The breeding fowls must be active
and given plenty Of liberty if they are
to produce eggs with strong germs
which will hatch into vigorous chicks.
IL there are any birds that require free
range, they are the breeding birds.
The eggs laid by hens too closely
confined invariably lack fertility and
are an occasion Of much disappoint-
ment to the would-be chicken raiser so
the important fact Of exercise cannot
be too emphatically dwelt upon at
this season of the year, when chicken
Matching is the rule at the poultry
farm. The breeding fowls are not
only to be allowed complete freedom
to roam ut will, or at least to be con-
fined in very large commodious runs,
but they are to be encouraged to
scratch for their food by feeding them
largely on wheat, oats and corn mixed
in leaves and litter. The effort of
working among this litter to secure the
kornels of grain will act very benefi.
cially upon the health and virility of
the breeding stock.
Lazy hens are unsatisfactory for any
purpose, as they produce very few eggs
and what are laid are OF poor fertility.
II we can only keep on breeding birds
bright, active and healthy, the eggs
produced by them will possess abund-
ant life.

Warm bedding makes the cow com.
Portable and saves feed.
A COW that gives a good flow OF
milk all winter is worth twice az
much as the summer COW.
IL the cream is too warm the butter
will come too soon and there will be q
waste Of flavor.
To secure the best quality Of cream
for butter. the milk must be cold as
soon as possible after it is drawn.
While the mich COW should not be
overfed, care must be taken that the
large mixer has ali that she needs.
A lot of half-inch cracks in the COW
stable are equal to lot of mice holes
7 in the feed bins; both cause loss Of
/ feed.
II you put the cream in the churn a
degree or two too cold it will take
longer than necessary TO churn it. 1t
( is waste Of time.
Milk with dry hands. IL is better
every way; you get cleaner milk and
the cows teats are not so liable to
crack in winter.
Have you box stall for the COWS to
calve in? Put the COW in it few DAYS
before she is due to calve; so that she
will feel at home.
1t costs just about as much to keep
COW that will only make six pounds of
butter as it does one that will make
nine or ten pounds.
Upon the fact of his having two or
three poor COWS in his herd can often
be blamed the failure of dairyman to
make his business pay.
To make the most out of the COW,
keep her warm and in pure atmos.
phere, and keep her as quiet as possible
while eating and while her food is
digesting.
A rusted tin vessel will faint any
milk left standing in it with an ex.
ceedingly disagree able odor and taste,
and this taInt will pass into butter
made from such milk.
Keep can of vasoline in the stable
and use it on every chafed or sore
place the COWS have; they shouldn't
have many, but accidents are liable to
happen in the best regulated stables.
If butter is overworked the granules
are mashed, the grain ruined and the
value of the butter harmed. Let not
the hands come in contact with butter.
for the warmth Of them melts and in
lures the grain.
1t takes about twice as much food
and labor to produce the same amount
Of meat, butter or milk from scrubs as
from pure breeds, and that is why poor
farmers with scrub cattle fail to make
the farm pay.
In mixing two or more kinds Of meal
together it pays to do it thoroughly;
put them down in layers on floor
and shovel over two or three times:
you can't mix meals we'll in a feed bin
unless in very small quantities.
