Poultry in Winter.

A recent bulletin from the North Car
olina experimental station makes the fol-
lowing suggestions in regard to the care
Of poultry in winter:
In order to get early eggs some extra
feed in addition to the ordinary ration
generally given by farmers is needed.
AS rule the trouble on the farm is that
after corn is gathered there is an over
abundance of grain lying around, and in
consequence the fowls become too fat.
All farmers have hay to spare, at least
they should have, and few pounds per
week fed to hens will greatly increase
the egg production. Glover hay is best,
but any kind is good. Feed as follows:
Cut into as short lengths as possible
(one-fourth to one-half inch) and in the
evening fill a twO-gallon bucket full,
cover and place on the kitchen stove
and allow 1t to boil as long as there is
fire. When the morning fire is built
allow the hay to heat again, then drain
off the water and mix with the hay three
quarts of wheat bran or enough to make
1t crumbly. This will make nearly two
gallons of feed. Give it to 100 hens as
a morning feed Remember, this is for
cold weather and for fowls that are at
liberty on the farm.
In the evening late supply what they
will consume of corn one day, and oats
next and so on. Be sure to give plenty of
fresh water every day, and on very cold
mornings it is good idea to make the
water slightly warm. If you do not 1t
will freeze at once and be of no service.
Be sure the hen house has good tight
ends and sides and always front the
house to the south. The warmer the
fowls are in winter, without supplying
artificial heat, the more eggs they will
lay and the earlier they will become
broody.
II eggs are wanted for Matching pur-
poses, do not have too many cocks. One
male to fifteen hens for the form Is
much better than two, If all run together
Dispose of all hens that are past the
profitable age, which Is, generally speak !
ing, 8 years, and do not expect fertile |
eggs from cocks to years old. 1t is
best to use either or 2-year-old males

Poultry Notes.

In sections where millet Is grown
either for seed or for the straw It will
pay to save the smaller grades Of seed for
the poultry. 1t Is really better grain
food for ordinary uses than rye, oats or
buckwheat
Look out for the early-hatched chicks
remember they are the ones you will
depend on for eggs next winter, so treat
them carefully, not allowing them to get
caught in rain storms or chilled by being
in cold quarters.
Remember that the eggs for preserv-
ing must be absolutely fresh. The prin-
ciple involved In their preservation is
to close the pores of the shell to pre-
vent the entrance of air. This may be
done by coating them with linseed oil
or lining the eggs by placing them in
whitewash. After preserving, pack away
in a cool place.
Late-hatched roosters will make good
capons, and every raiser of poultry
should have o set of caponizing tools and
learn how to perform the operation.
Capons Of all breeds and especially the
large ones always bring good prices in
the market. Caponizlng tools are not
expensive and the operation is simple.
In setting hens provide room where
they will not be disturbed by the laying
hens. Keep food and water in small
quantities before the sitting hen at all
times so that she will leave the nest only
when needing exercise To prevent lice
sprinkle her thoroughly with insect pow
der once week.

Blended Flnnr.

This is a new name which has been
invented to represent a new product
Corn meal, as an article of food, has been
in use since the early days when it was
made by pulverizing the corn in a hand
mortar or grating it on the bottom of an
old tin pan punched full of holes from
the inside with a sharp-pointed nail
Wheat was an ancient product. We
read in Holy Writ Of the 'wheat-harvest"
nearly 1000 years before the Christian
era, and of 'wheaten -four" being used
as food $500 years ago.
Modern genius has recently mixed the
two, and the result Is blended -four"
This blended -four is becoming very pop
ular and is said to be healthier and better
in every way and far more nutritious
than either all wheat -four or clear corn
meal. AS an article of food the blended
-four is worth more than all wheat -four
but 1t can be produced for but little more
than one-half the cost of wheat flour, be-
cause corn is so much cheaper than
wheat. Improved methods Of cooking
utilize this blended -four for all purposes
where pure wheat -four has been used,
and 1t is said to make the finest quality
OF the most delicate pastry, as well as the
most wholesome bread, buisCut and grid
die cakes. Many Touring mills are now
making it and it should be plainly
marked just what it is and sold upon its
merits. It's use will have a tendency to
increase the consumption of corn and
bring the price of that product more
nearly towards the price of wheat.

Saving the Manure.

No intelligent farmer questions the
value of the manure made on the farm,
but not all Of them give this manure the
intelligent care required to save its full
value for the use OF the crop. BY far
the best plan is to haul the manure out
to the land as soon after it is made as
possible, but during the winter, and es-
pecially in the colder climates, this plan
is not always possible, and the next best
plan is to store 1t in sheds or pits or
pens to be removed to the fields when
possible.
The value Of the liquid excrements of
farm animals is not properly appreciated
and on farms where considerable stock
is kept there is enough of this liquid
manure wasted to cover many acres OF
land. Chemically the urine of farm ami
mails contains about .5S per cent. Of nj
trogen and .49 per cent. Of potash, as
against .29 per cent of nitrogen and 10
per cent. OF potash in the solid eXcre-
ments and the chances are that nearly
or quite all of the potash is wasted in
the loss Of the urine on the average farm,
leaving the phosphOric acid alone which
is in the solid part of the manure as
the only available fertilizer for the use
Of the growing crops If the expense
Of saving this urine by conducting it
from the stable to proper receptacles
Is greater than can be afforded at the
time, an abundant supply of absorbing
material should be provided such as
sOds, dry soil, leaves or straw-almOst
anything which will save the most val
liable part Of the manure made in the
stables.

How to Prune Fruit Trees.

It is a lamentable fact that not one
man in hundred, fruit growers in
cluded, knows how to prune fruit tree
properly. In the first place, fruit trees
require very little pruning and the old
idea that large quantities of the inside
branches should be cut out ito let in the
air and sunshine" is wrong. The prun-
ing of tree should be done on a sci
entific plan in so far that there should
be a good reason for every cut that is
made Every liberal-bearing fruit tree
sends out little branches or spurs on the
sides of all limbs and branches, and
these should never be cut off, nor should
they be injured when the fruit is being
gathered or in any other way, for these
spores produce the fruit buds for the
coming seasons crop. Every tree which
needs it should be pruned when the su-
perfuous branches are small and the cut
should be made at the junction of the
limb with the main stock. At this point
in the growth of the tree the intelligent
observer will note a decided seam or
crease running around the base of each
branch, and IL the cut Is made at that
point 1t will heal more quickly than il
made at any other place. When pruning

because it is much lighter and conse-
Quently may be handled more easily,

one or two pairs of hands to do the work.

ated health, soft, silky coat Of hair and

an animal which is a money-maker and
which will pay you in added profit yearly

be an animal which, mated to a blooded
male Of good pedigree, will produce

Importance Of a Good Cockerel,

Sharp observers are beginning to learn
that the selecting of eggs for Matching
from those produced by the best laying
hens Is only part Of the secret Of rails
ing a flock Of egg producers. 1t is just
as essential that the cocks which are to
run with these pullets shall be also from
hen with a good egg record. Such a
combination will result in a flock Of lay
ing pullets which will be about as near
perfection in the matter Of egg prOduc-
tiOn as 1t is possible to get

Continuous Milking,

The plan of milking cows Continu-
ously throughout the year is often prac-
ticed, but 1t is certainly not in accord
with the laws Of nature. Even the vege-
tatiOn Of the earth requires and takes o
certain season Of rest, and If we force 1t
to continuous growth 1t withers and dies.
If COW Is fed so as to force flow Of
milk the year round, she cannot maintain
her own body, that Of the unborn calf
and continue the flow of milk without
serious injury. OF course, there are ex-
ceptlons to this rule, but they are rare,
and 1t is never safe to attempt keeping
a COW in this condition the year round,
for even when no apparent harm is done
to the animal, continuous flow Of milk
one year is generally at the expense OF
the yield Of the following year.

be considered as reliable and well worth
taking as guide. The COW should be
long, level and loose-jointed, with a ca
