Poultry Pointers.

Never feed the poultry near the

kind to attract them near the house

poultry is not to keep any Improbable
birds; sell them rs soon as possible.
AS long as Il really good hen is not
too old to lay eggs, she is not too old
to keep
Forty hens can no more eat from one
plant than forty people. Broadcast the
grain and provide long troughs for
feeding soft food.
Buckwheat straw is very good for
scratching material.
The roOsts should be low. especially
for the heavy breeds.
Keep the lice off your fowls and they
will keep healthy.
Feed plenty of meat scraps If you
want to get lots Of eggs
Keep plenty of fresh water where
your fowls can get it.
a pale yolk is not an indication Of
poor qaulity in an egg.
Beware of drafts at night and you

Raising a Balanced Ration.


Ii is now generally understo God that
the great need in the ration of cows Is
protein and because it is expensive
when one has to buy grain containing
it. the cows do not have the grains to
make the balanced ration.
OF late years experimenters have
urged farmers to grow the crops that
would give the balanced ration and
have shown that 1t may be obtained
by the growing of what are known as
forage crops so that one becomes
practically independent of cotton seed
meal and other concentrated feed. Cow
pea hay and silage will take the place
of bran largely, III the ration but a far
better combination to grow is alfalfa.
although with silage. COW peas and
corn meal one may meet the need for
tit to cut.
The soy bean should also have a
place on every farm where it can be
grown to advantage. 1t is of the same
nature as the COW pea but on some
farms gives better results hence should
have space in that experiment plot
referred to some weeks since. This
question of growing the feed that may
be given to the stock to the best ad-
vantage is one that should have the
! attention of every farmer and dairy
man.

Suggestion for Apple Growers.

Any apple grower within reasonable
distance of large city will find it
profitable to sort his fruit carefully and
make up small packages of the finest.
1t makes little difference in what form
the package is. although it should so
far as possible conform to the shapes
familiar in the city where the fruit is
to be sold. Small baskets holding a
half peck of fine fruit will bring the
grower much more money than half
again the quantity carelessly selected
and packed in an ordinary basket The
second grade of fruit. or rather the
best grade after the finest specimens
are taken out, may he put up in larger
packages for market. BY the use of
the selected fruit and the small pack.
age the high-class trade is reached and
the grower puts into his pocket the
profit that usually gets into the pocket
of the middleman.
