Shredded Fodder Come to Stay.

Well shocked fodder will not dam.
age much if not shredded for weeks,
unless ii is very wet season. A very
important item to be considered Is the
condition of the fodder when shredded.
If dry it will be bright and sweet and
will not heat, but If shredded when
wet or much damp, will heat and
food value lost. When properly put up
shredded fodder will feed one-third
longer than when fed whole for cattle
and any kind of stock except sheep,
which do about as well on whole fod.
der as they do not waste it as badly.
AS to the feeding value compared with
other rOughage, one ton of shredded
fodder is worth two tons of bright
straw.
find ii almost equal TO timothy hay
for all stock in winter except milk
cows, which do better on shredded
fodder What the stock refuse to eat
makes the best of bedding and is easi.

In short, you get the value of your
fodder at once, there are no stalks
accumuating in the stables. or vast
ing in the fields. but is in the best con.
dition TO get the best results. There
are also some disadvantages connect
ed with shredding. Fodder shredded
before it is well cured after cutting
is a total loss.-P. r. F., in Indiana

Egg-eatlng hens are nuisance. and
after many years of experience in poul.
try raising the writer feels that when
his hens are discovered at the trick the
best way of stopping it is TO kill the
hen. If our birds We're not well sup
piled with limy substances, such as
oyster shells and the like and all the
grit they desire, we would furnish
these before killing the hen. AS rule,
the habit is merely habit and is not
due to any lack of food element eX-
cept that of lime.
Usually the egg-eating hen gets into
the habit of eating an egg that has be-
come accidentally broken; liking the
taste, she acquires the habit, and once
acquired it is almost impossible to
break it. We have found it the better
plan to have both grit and the lime
material so placed that the hens may
help themselves at will. Some hens re-
quire more of these than do other hens.
so it is hard to dole IL out properly
1t is better TO let them decide us to
their needs whenever possible.

Turkey Itaislng.

Turkey Bulletin (No. 200 by the De.
partment of Agriculture, now on the
Government press, contains the fol.
lowing three general rules for select
ing stock:
First-Always use as breeders tur-
key hens over one year old. Be sure
they are strong, healthy and vigorous,
and of good medium size. Do not
strive to have them unnaturally large.
Second-The male may be a yearling
or older. Do not imagine that the
large overgrown males are the best.
Strength, health and vigor, with we'll
propOrtioned medium size, are the
main points of excellence.
Third--Ayoid close breeding. New
blood Is OF vital Importance to turkeys.
Better send a thousand miles for a new
male than to risk the chances of in.
breeding. Secure one IN the fall so as
TO be assured of his health and yigor
prior TO the breeding season.
Regarding the kind of hens to select
the following advice is given: No mat
ter what variety of turkeys may be Sc.
lected for keeping, they should, above
all things, be strong, vigorous. healthy
and well matured, but not akin. Bet.
ter secure the females from one local.
ity and the male from another to in
sure their non-relatlonshlp, rather
than run the risk of inbreeding. In
all fowls it is well 10 remember that
size is Influenced largely by the fe-
male and the color ana finish by the
male Securing over-large males to
pair with small, weakly hens Is not
wise policy. A medium sized male
with good falrsized females or good
constitutional vigor and mature age,
will do far better than the largest with
the smallest females.
