A Chair of Poultry.

How to raise chickens will be taught
at the University of Missouri at Colum-
bia. The curators have decided to Of
fer a full course in poultry raising. A
short course was offered last year, but
this year the study is to be put on an
equal plane with the studies in the 9TH
er departments, and full instructions
in the breeding and handling Of domes-
tic fowl and the production of eggs will
be given.
The reason for extending the course
is due to the increasing Importance of
the poultry industry and the remarka
Bile interest manifested at the university
last year, when the study was first in
troduced. The records show that it
proved to be the most popular course
ever offered at Missouri university. It
proved so interesting that number of
the professors enrolled themselves as
students and entered the poultry de-
partment The highest grades in the
class were made by two members of
the faculty.
Another reason for the extension of
the course is that the poultry business
has become one of the leading indus
tries in Missouri, the annual income
from the same now being estimated at
over $10.OO0,000

Crowded Trees.

When trees become thickly branched
and crowded as to space they are not
improved by cutting the ends of the
shoots, which merely aggravates the
evil They should be judieiously thin
ned by the complete removal of some
Of the branches. A skillful operator
will remove one-third or more Of the
branches of thickly set tree so that
the ordinary observer will not perceive
that any pruning has been done, the
tree looking as natural in its ramifica-
tions as If it had not been disturbed,
and this should be the aim in all prun-
ing operations as applied to street
trees.-L. C. Corbett.

crovvding ON the Roosts.

Fowls that are crowded do not re
spond with a profit. It may pay to
have a small flock, and yet the addi-
tion of few more birds may change
the profit to loss. Sometimes more
fowls can be kept together in the poul-
try house in the winter season than in
the summer. and. in fact, on cold nights
it may be an advantage to have enough
of them together so that the animal
heat of their bodies may raise the tenn
perature of the house. yet they should
not be crowded or they will not thrive.
During the warm season each hen
should have at least ten square feet of
room, but in winter five square feet
may be sufficient that is. house 10
by 10 feet should accommodate ten
fowls in the summer but in the winter
season such house can be used to
keep twenty hens with less inconven-
ience than to put ten of them together
in summer. But little yard room is
needed in winter, as there ii nothing
that the hens can then pick, but the
poultry house should be light and
made as comfortable as possible, as all
kinds of poultry prefer light and cheer
full quarters. Farm and Fireside.

"a Form of Roup.v p

Probably dozen different poultry
diseases. have been diagnosed by poul-
try editors and other writers as "a
form of roup." This is all wrong.
Roup is roup, and nothing else is. But
poultry doctors seem to think that any
affection Of the air passages or face,
eyes or head is roup. Roup is a specific
disease and easily diagnosed by one
who understands the disease. In two
poultry journals now on our table
there are queries as to sick fowls, each
giving entirely different symptoms, and
the editors in each case say it is ''a
form of roup." When chicken is
sick and you don't know what ails it,
then it is "a form of roup. Farm and

OATS FOR POUL TRY
Breeder y.ao Says They Make n

The value OF oats as one Of the nee
assariIy varied foods for poultry does
not seem TO be generally understood
Where fowls are kept half starved all
the oats they would eat at one time, If
allowed to have their fill. would proba-
bly, result in danger.
Where a flock is properly fed, oats
that may be used as one Of the alter
nate feeds serve admirably the pur-
poses of relish. nourishment and sup
plying the desired bulk that should al
ways be the aim. A well known Plym-
Outh Rock breeder says:
In many papers / see the statement
that oats are not fit for poultry food,
and in the Stockman Mrs. S. w. Bur

them and will eat everything else they
can get before eating oats. Now. ] be-

THE CHEESEMAKER

Taking all things into consideration,
it is hard to estimate the value to our
great national industry by the gener-
al adoption of a cool method of curing
cheese. says J. w. Wheaton of Toron-
to. Something may be learned from
the experience of the past two sea-
sons in Canada. The weather has been
cool. and conditions for curing were
in the average factory much better
than usual. One result Of this has
been the largely increased demand for
Canadian cheese in Great Britain, re-
sulting in higher prices and better
values for the milk producers.
But the weather cannot always be
depended upon. and factory men should
so equip their factories as to be prac-
ticaily independent of it. Unless they
do SO hot season may put them back
where they were two or three years
ago.
Greatest Cheese State.
New York state provides nearly one
half of the total amount of cheese pro-
duced in this country, according to the
report of State Commissioner of Agri-
culture Charles A. Wieting, made pub
lie a short time ago During 1902 the
production of cheese in that state was
123,987,516 pounds and Of butter 40
9l9.794 pounds. In 1892 the cheese
production was 130.991, 1,s1O pounds, but
the production Of butter that year was
only 10 4Q7 3ET 1aounds
The commissioner says that the con
sumption of pure milk is increasing
with great rapidity. While in 1884 the
milk consumed in the city of New
York in one form or another was 529.-
g54 forty quart cans. in 1894 1t was
1,039. .454 forty quart cans and in 1908
1.734 ,g53 forty qIart cans.

SECURING Better Layers.

Pick out the best layers. put each lot
by themselves and feed as each lot
needs. After a few years one can breed
a better laying lot of any variety, says
a contributor to American Agricultur
list. AS bred today there are too many
off in one way and another. and If all
or nearly all would breed for better re-
suits in a few years we would be sur
prised at the improvement In egg yield
