How to Cure Alfalfa.


The leaves of alfalfa contain nearly
four times as much protein as the
stems. Every effort, then, should be
made to cure the alfalfa in such a way
as to save all the leaves possible. When
alfalfa has made slow growth and at
the time of cutting the ground and
weather are dry there is no difficulty
in curing. Often under these condi-
tons it is safe to rake within a few
hours after moving and stack a few
hours after the alfalfa has been put in
the windows. When alfalfa has made
rapid growth and is rank and succu-
lent and the weather and ground are
damp the problem of curing is a diff
cult one. 1t is easy to dry the leaves,
but the stems will contain much mois-
ture after the leaves are too dry. AL
falfa hay should become so dry before
stacking that when a handful of stems
are twisted together no water can be
squeezed out.
There is usually no difficulty in cur
ing any but the first crop. When the
conditions for curing the first crop are
unfavorable we have usually found the
most practicable methods to be to cut
the alfalfa early in the morning after
the dew is off. allow it to barely wilt in
the swath, then rake and before night
put in narrow, tall cocks. After the
dew is off the next morning and the
surface of the ground has become dry
we open these cocks carefully so as not
to shatter off the leaves. If the wealth
er is favorable the hay may be stacked
in the afternoon; if not, we recock care
fully and repeat treatment until the
hay is properly cured.-H. M. Cottrell,
Kansas.

An open shed to roost in in severe
winter weather is as much confne-
ment as turkeys should ever be sub
jected to. In fact, it is doubted wheth-
er in this latitude even that much pro
lection is beneficial. All turkey raisers
will agree that roosting in a house al
any time in the year is injurious
Young turkeys confined as chickens
should be are almost certain to contract
roup or some other catarrhal ailment
and such diseases are generally fatal
Turkeys with ample range, with good
forest trees to roost among, are rarely
subject to any disease. Natural condi
tons are best. Chickens have been do
mesticated for so many centuries that
their natural requirements have been
abolished, but not SO with turkeys
The closer nature can be initiated the
better for these birds.-Dallas Farm

beginning With Pigeons

In answer to the question, "How
should 1 begin squad raising? the
pigeon editor of the Feather says:
My advice is first build neat house,
say 10 by u feet, setting it up on brick
piers about foot from the ground, SO
as to avoid all danger from rats. Make
the fly of wire netting feet high, 10
by IA feet This will accommodate
twenty-five pairs of birds. Make nests
inside the house a foot square and
nine inches high. having the bottoms
removable for cleaning out. Keep sand
on the floor about a quarter of an incl
thick, and use cheese box lid to feed
out of and get two gallon stone foun-
tain for drinking water. a small box
for salt, one for oyster shells and one
for charcoal. Level the ground within
the fly, and cover about four inches
deep with clean, gritty sand-not gray
ell full of stones, but good sand. Yon
are now ready to get birds. Get some
one who knows how to purchase your
stock-first class Homers, if possible
from some reliable breeder Start with.
say, five pairs of birds that are surely
known to be mated. and study these
birds until you become acquainted with
them and have successfully raised sew
eral pairs of squads. then add five or
ten more pairs of birds as you prefer,
but do not put any new birds in the
house or fly until they are surely
mated.

YOUNG CHICKS.
some Points For the Farmer ON
Feeding and Care.

Some Points For the Farmer ON
Feeding and Care.
Don't be in hurry to feed the new
ly Matched chicks, no matter if they
hatch rather unevenly. The ones first
out will be all right for couple of
days at least. Their systems are full
of yolk for some time, and too early
feeding does harm rather than good.
Have little fine grit where they can
find it as soon as they like.
Bread crumbs soaked in milk are
good for a start, but it is best to give
them scratching food after day or
two. Millet seed or coarse oatmeal
scattered in gravel is a good food.
They can be successfully raised with
nothing but fine, dry grain; no soft
food But most growers prefer to give
some soft food for variety. Unless
there is plenty of grit it will be neces-
sary to use soft food for the reason
that coarse grain cannot be properly
eigested without plenty of grinding
material.
Young chickens in coops or where
the hen is confined do not usually get
enough animal food. 1t is their natural
reliance, even more than grain, and
nothing else will make them grow so
fast Milk not too old is the best form,
but if enough cannot be had fine meat
scraps will be good and are convenient
TO use Feed with every meal. Hard
" one farm flock in ten gets enough
animal food to keep it growing at full
speed.
The chickens should have time to get
hungry. Don't have food where they
can stuff themselves whenever they
like and NOPE the rest of the time
Feed nearly but not quite all they can
eat at a time and at regular hours
Poultry specialists feed often, but on
a farm in summer it is difficult to feed
more than three times a day, and
chickens will do very well on three
meals, if at regular times. each day.
If the coops are on grass sward and
moved daily a shallow box of sand
should be kept inside. A little trough
for each coop is a great saver of the
soft food, and a chick fountain is q
convenience. If saucers and tins are
used a shingle float with hole in the
center will keep the chickens out of the
liquid.-G. B. Fiske in American Guilt
vator.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-07-30
Care of Young Chicks.

To prevent droopy chicks set hens in
clean nests in clean apartment. Dust
the hen we'll with insect powder after
she has set week. Grease the head of
each chick as soon as Matched with
sweet oil or lard, and no danger from
head lice need be feared. Put the hens
with chicks in a clean box or house. A
new barrel under a bush is much better
than an old box or coop that has sus
picion of mites or lice. Feed often, just
as they will eat; don't leave any to
sour If milk is fed, use it warm to mix
meal or soften bread or cracker. Milk,
sweet or sour, is not good for food for
hungry chicks, as they gorge them
selves and soil their plumage with it.
When used constantly like water for
drink it is good. Stop Of any kind is not
fit food for fowls. The very best food
for young chicks for the first week is
bread crumbs, corn bread, oatmeal and
cooked potatoes, all dry, not wet Feed
often and let them have a grass run
when dry. After the first week mixed
meal and table scraps may be fed. AS
soon as whole wheat and broken corn
can be handled by them feed this at
night. A variety of food is good Al
ways remember the gizzard is not in
tended to grind slop, and you will have
healthy fowls.-Commercial Poultry.

CARE OF MIRRORS.
How to Clean and Keep Them In
Good Condition.

How to Clean and Keep Them In
Good Condition.
In the first place, it is we'll to know a
good cleaner This can be made by
adding to whiting enough cold tea to
make a thin paste. Remove the fly
Epecks with warm tea and dry the mir
ror. Then smear some of the paste on
the glass and rub with dry CLOTH
A good way to polish the mirror is
with a soft cloth and few drops of
aqua ammonia, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph. Cleaning with pa
per is not effectual unless the best quail
ity Of rag paper is used.
To scour mirrors make a paste of
whiting and water. Smear the surface
with it and let it dry on the glass Then
rub it off with tissue paper or with a
soft newspaper. Rub gently, for the
particles of grit in the paper may
scratch the glass.
The following is a good way to fill in
the scratches that often appear on the
backs of mirrors: Scratch away the
mercury for about quarter of an inch
around the scratch and wet the place
with clean rag dipped in alcohol.
Take a broken piece of mirror and
mark out a piece of silvering larger
than the place on the mirror. Place a
small drop of mercury on the center of
this silvering, allowing it to remain a
few minutes. Clean away the silver
from around the patch and slip it from
the broken glass to the place to be
mended, pressing it into place with a
small piece of cotton batting.
