Poultry Briefs.

IoultFy Irko[S \
Ground or cut bone is so useful to
poultry raisers that it is something of
marvel that more bone cutters and
grinders are not in use. The attempt
TO use commercial meals for freshly
prepared bone can hardly be called a
success; for the very obvious reason
tnat the more useful of the products
do not keep well in anything but the
coolest weather. At some seasons OF
the year it is impossible to get beef
meal, as the dealers will not handle it
when it is likely to spoil on their
hands. But the man that has ma
chine for reducing bone to edible size
is independent. He can nearly always
obtain bones that have on them much
meat and these furnish bone for sup
plying little nitrogen and good deal
of lime and phosphorus. Around most
homes bones have no use. Yet they
can be made a source Of valuable food
supply.
The question is now being raised as
to whether richness can be fed into
eggs, and the amateurs are trying to

rich. The trouble with this kind OF
evidence is that it is not exact A man

Weather reports from Idaho state
that on the high mountain ranges the
grass is more abundant than usual,
but on low ranges it is exceptionally
scarce. The condition of stock varies
with the grass on the range. On the
high ranges the stock is fat and ready
for shipment direct to market, but on
low ranges its condition is poor. In
some southeastern sections the scarcity
OF water has contributed to the poor
condition of stock.
