Scientific InnlIrN RnIsIng.

Little has as yet been done for The
poultry industry by Il experim2n,

investigations have been of an imper-

suits obtained have been very unsat-

tions have been wrong in many cases.
Such has been the result in other lines
of farm industry. We thought that

we found that all Of our observations
in that matter were decisions. So 1t

what we need Is extensive investiga-
tions into the principles OF poultry cul-
ture. Both public and private atten-

exterminate the roup and kindred dis

Chicks ~I'cathering.

There is a great difference in the
breeds as to the time OF the chicks
fcathering out. Some OF the non-set-
ting breeds feather out very quickly
and therefore need more attention IN
the matter OF food. This precocity is
not desirable, but We must admit that
It can not be helped. As the feather
takes not carbohydrates. but proteins,
for its formation. 1t Is evident that we
should give more OF this kind of feed
to the chicks at the time they are be-
ginning to feather.
The breeds that do not feather out
quickly are supposed to stand the proc
ess better, for 1t is the opinion among
poultrymen that o chick that feathers
slowly Is more certain to be raised
than the one that feathers out rapidly.
This IL due TO the fact that the process
is very weakening, and the chick fall
an easy prey to lice and germs OF dis
ease.

MIX Food for Calves.-How nary
persons know that no bird that flies,
save one, feeds its young on anything
but flesh food. There Is only one bird
that | know OF that does not feed its
young on insect food, even our W
sparrow, which has the power to partly
digest grain in their crops and give It
to their young. The young calf must
have food that It's delicate stomach can
digest, and 1t isn't ground feed; IT Is
flesh In a sense. because 1t is milk. He
has moi Z good digestive stomach at
that age Jonathan Periam.
Average Income from Cows,-The av-
erage income from dairy COWS In local
tiles where the milk Is sold to eonden-
sing factories Is said to be about $500
a year. II sometimes runs as high as
$1,000 to Il cow, and sometimes as low
as $500. but the general average Is es-
timated to be about $500.

French Spinet,-The French nave a
way of fattening fowls that seems to
be peculiar to that country. A hugo
spinet is built that revOlves on one
center. This spinet contains cages, in
which are fowls, one In each cage The
fowl is kept in the dark and in ST.
lence, being fed several times n day
with soft food that is pumped down
it's throat. The fowl has nothing to do
but ear and digest its food. In a few
weeks it has become a mos; tooth
