that they rank with the peach in

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Stenographic Report of the Illinois
state Dairymen's convention-)
F. NJ Munger spoke on Poultry on
the Dairy Farm In part he said:
Just why dairymen do not make poul-
try raising pay is not a problem hard
to solve The reason is lack of knowl-
edge relating to poultry raising Would
any common-sense dairyman start
dairying with 75-pound butter COW
and permit her to rustic for her living
around the hay stack
The twentieth century hen is to be
the 2OO-egg hen. AS to breeds, most
people have their fancy; but all breeds
are not equally prolific We have a
great many inquiries from men that
want to know if it will pay to raise
the standardized hen on the farm.
There is no place where it will pay
better. OF all the breeds I prefer the
White Wyandottes. They will produce
as many eggs any other breed and
more flesh than most of them. The
Barred Plymouth Rock is good for
both of these objects. but think that
the Wyandotte is still better.
How can make fowls hustle and
exercise? First, we must not feed too
heavily or make it too easy for birds
to get their food We must get them
out of their houses in winter as much
as possible. The profit in winter de-
Ponds on having the hens well-housed
and given special care. This will give
a good supply of eggs, which always
bring good price in winter and insure
a profit. The simplest poultry house Is
often the best. A house II by 20 fee'
is large enough for SO fowls Do mo-
permit any of the floor space to be oc
cupied with nests, roosts or other FIX
lures. All of the floor space shouI6
be reserved for the hens, and a part o
it should be used for a scratching
floor There a time when it wa
thought best to have all the glass pos
sible in the south side of the hel
house; but now we put in only enough
for lighting purposes, and that i
thought to be the best plan
One reason why some people do no
succeed with poultry is that they d
not know how to feed poultry to tn
best advantage. Large fowls requ1r
a different system of feeding thai
small ones, and unless the feeding i
such that the birds are kept activ
they Will not remain in good layin
condition. IeghOrns are not likely
get over-fat. They will leave cor
on the ground and run after insects
while the larger breeds will eat tn
corn that is given them and stan
around waiting for more. Choppe
clover is good and should be fed eac
day, and chopped vegetables will nc
take its place. On the average farl
there is much that goes to waste thu
the fowls can utilize, and this helps t
give profit.

Some of our readers may want to
know the easiest methods of determin-
ing butter and Oleomargarine. Two
methods follow: Put a small piece of
the suspected article into tube of
not more than three-eighths of an inch
in diameter and then heat it slowly
until it is all melted and begins to
boil. If it is butter, the bubbles will
fill the diameter of the tube and
up to the top without bursting. If it
is O1eOmargarine, the bubbles will be
smaller in size, will burst almost i'm
mediateIy upon forming, and about the
only result of the boiling will be the
suffering of the stuff. A little ex-
perimenting with known butter will
assist one in understanding the exact
difference between butter and oleo-
margarine when boiled in such a tube
as suggested Another test. which re-
Quires more practice and Skill is as
follows: Take very small piece each
Of butter and Oleomargarine, about the
size of a pinhead, and place in sep
arate spots on a clean piece of glass
A drop of ether placed on the butter
will assume a wavy but somewhat
regular outline, while drop placed
on the oleOmargarine will have a rug
ged outline very much like the ap-
pearance of a cogwheel with the cogs
sharpened to point.

Some Truths IN Pig Feeding.
The Maryland Experiment Station
publishes the following conclusions
drawn from its pig feeding expert

l. It was found that with some ra

duced az low as 21k cents per pound
2. In all the tests where properly
| compounded rations were used pork
| was produced at profit when the pigs
| were not allowed to become too old.
3. The cost of producing pound of
pork increases with the age of pig.
4. The aim should be to produce
from $50 to 200 pound pigs at six to
seven months old for the greatest
| profit.
5. Skim milk was found to have q
feeding value for pigs equal to fully
double the price charged at most of the
| creameries of the state.

Dairy Notes

Some OF the defenders of the oIeo-
margarine interests in Washington are
now asserting that butter is being col
ored yellow to initiate oleoInargarine,
and that butter was never so colored
till the pseudo butter was put on the
market. The claim only shows how
absurdly some men can talk. The
co1oring of butter dates back genera
tions-how many we do not know
Certain it is that our grandmotherS
used to do the coloring with carrot
juice.

Poultry BrIef rs.
fattening


In some experiments in fattenfng
fowls it has been apparently demon
strated that feed of ground oats and
skim milk makes a white. firm flesh,
and that adding some tal1ow to the ra-
ton during the last ten days of the
feeding renders the flesh more juicy.
Keeping the fowls confined prevents
exercise and softens the muscles
American poultry raisers are some
what shy of what is called the cram
ming system in the fattening of poul-
try, and we think justly so. A Cana
dian speaker on poultry topics says
that the system is favorable to fatten-
ing for the first two weeks, but that
after that time there is danger OF en-
largement of the liver. That this dan
ger is not a fancied one is proven by
the fact that in Europe the Cram
ming process is reduced to science
and is carried on by men that make
business and study of it. Even there
in many cases the birds ruined
before being completely fitted for mar
ket. Geese are fed in this way for the
very purpose of producing enlarged
Hvers, which are considered a great
de1icacy. 1t is certain that amateurs
| and novices on this side of the water
will very often fail if they attempt to
