Utilizing Waste Products.


A. q. Gilbert: One Of the great ad-
vantages in poultry raising is that so
much of the waste productions of the
farm can be utilized in feeding. Small
grains, which cannot be sold in the
ordinary way, can be made use of. Pc
tato Feelings and household scraps
generally can also be utilized. An ex-
cellent mash can be made by sleeping
clover, cut in quarter-inch lengths, over
night; in the morning this, potato
peelings, scraps and small grains can
all be boiled together. A little bran,
busting of black pepper and pinch
of salt may also be added This whole
mass should not be like dough, but
crumbly. A mash Of this kind may
usually be fed thrice week-although
no cast-iron rule can be laid down in
this case either-and in the proper
ton Of a quart to ten hens. Pullets,
If laying well, will stand more of it
than old hens; if there is a tendency
to lay on fat rather than lay eggs, the
feed should be given moderately.
There is more danger of putting too
much fat on pullets before they begin
laying than there is afterwards. II
you see hen go into corner and
begin to mediate on what kind mis-
tress she has. meanwhile forgetting
to lay eggs, 1t is an indication that
you are overriding the fattening part
Of it. After the mash has been fed
in the morning, throw a handful or
two of grain among the litter to keep
the hens scratching, because exercise
means eggs.-Farmers' Review.

Low erade cottonseed Meal.

In a recent communication to the

Within the past three weeks several

These goods were differently branded

of the quality of the goods and their
sale stopped. This meal carried from
