Fatteninq for Market.

Fowls that are to be marketed
should be confined at least two weeks
before they are to be disposed of and
should be fed a fattening feed. The
fowls that are to be kept during the
winter should not be given the same
kind of feed as these, as there is no
advantage whatever in making them
fat. Without a separation of those
that are to be fattened from those that
are not to be fattened it is impossible
to prepare the marketable ones for
sale to advantage. The fowls that
are being confined and fattened should
have, in addition to their food. large
supply of fresh water and grit. 1t
must be remembered that unless the
supply of grit is large the digestive
organs of the birds will soon fail to
do the work required of them. While
roaming over the farm they were able
to secure their own grit, but in cap
tivity this must be supplied by man.
The fancier does not forget this, but
the farmer is inclined to because he
is not making poultry raising very
large part of the farm operations. and
therefore neglects the little things
The amount of water needed by all
animals is large as the organs that
convey substance from the stomach to
the blood vessels drink instead of eat.
There must be enough water taken in
to make sort of milk, or the lac
teal f1uid.' This is absorbed through
the walls of the intestines. About
eight times as much water as
of dry matter is required. Therefore
the farmer that shuts up his fowls and
feeds them on dry corn, giving them
water only twice a day is bringing
about conditions in the digestive or
gans of the fowls that must be very
injurious to the birds Certainly un-
der such conditions the birds cannot
lay on much fat, and a large proper
ton of the food must be wasted.
Water should be kept before the fowls
all the time.

The Scrub steer and the welLHred


If every man would take time to
compare the well-bred steer with the
scrub steer there is little doubt that
the scrub steer would soon become so
unpopular that he would drop out Of
the markets altogether. In the first
place the value of the scrub steer and
of the pure bred differs greatly, even
when they are to be used only for
feeding, this difference amounting to
about one cent per pound in many
cases. When it comes to putting on
weight the pure-bred animal is far
ahead of his competitor, for he makes
far better gain. 1t has been said that
scrubs make as rapid gain in weight
as pure-breds in many cases, and this
is true, but the gain consists in shank
and in tallow on intestines and has
little commercial value. while the high
priced porterhouse and sirloins re-
main small in quantity. The pure-bred
makes little shank and does not send
the fat to make lining for his intes-
tines. He works the fat into the grain
of the lean meats and increases in
size in the parts that are to be sold
for high prices on the market AS
result, when the finished pure-bred
comes to be sold he is readily dis
posed of at a much better price than
is the scrub. This is especially the
case when the market is dull. Dull
ness affects first the poorer animals
The prime animals hardly ever feel
the slacknesS in buying.

POULTRY
Inbred Ducks.

1t is generally supposed that out
crossing increases the size of birds.
There are certainly some remarkable
results from this practice that could
be pointed to as proofs of the advan-
tages Of occasional out-crosses- 1t
is evident however that many breed
ers hold to the practice of in-breedfng
and believe it to be both safe and prof
liable. At the Illinois State fair last
week the attention of the writer was
called to some exceptionally large
Pekfn ducks belonging to Mr.. F. F.
Ambrosius. Some of these birds
weighed in excess of Ia pounds. Rela-
tive to duck raising Mr.. Ambrosius
said: OF course you can cross breed
and for five or ten years get fairly
good results. Smith, the man
bought my stuff of, imported two diff
ferent strains about 25 years ago. He
has never out-crossed, but has inbred
ever since that time. OF course he
continued to select the best of his
birds for breeders. l inbred, but
every year l select the largest, big
gest-framed ducks for breeders. In
that way 1 have been increasing the
size of the birds, in spite of the fact
that in-breeding is looked upon as
method of decreasing rather than
increasing the size.
In selecting for breeders the thing
1 look out for is the frame of the
duck. When that is secured I am
sure OF getting bigger ducks from year
to year. The standard weight OF the
duck is 8 pounds. We have some six
months old that weigh IL pounds.
have some that are only 51a months
old that weigh about 10 pounds each.
During the breeding season 1 make
bran large part of my feed. 1 also
feed middlings, coarse corn meal and
beef scraps. To this ration add
vegetables. such as cabbage, carrots.
turnfps and cut clover. / do not feed
this ration according to a fixed sys-
tenn, but change the system frequent
L let it steam all night
I cut the clover quite fine and put
it into large pan. piling up the
clover. Onto this I pour boiling water
and then invert another pan on top
of the first. Sometimes 1 put the pan
on the stove and let the water boil
for awhile thus generating more
steam. 1 never feed my ducks any
dry feed whatever. You may feed
ten ducks a bushel of dry corn and
they will eat it all up in half an hour.
1t is not natural for the duck to eat
dry food; it wants it wet. will
crush that bushel of corn, make it
into mush and feed 100 ducks with it.
try always to get cheap feed. 1
buy the cheapest bran 1 can get, the
cheaper the better. I can raise tur-
nips at 10 cents a bushel, and carrots
and cabbages at a correspondingly low
cost. These are good and cheap feed.
feed my ducks in troughs as l do
my hogs. / have their feed always
wet but not sloppy. 1t can be fed
dry if the ducks have a pond or a
watering trough near by. A duck will
take a mouthful of meal and run to
the water for mouthful of water
with which to wash it down, and then
eat another mouthful in the same way.
A duck always soaks its food down
if it gets the chance.
Feeding a lot of dry grain to them
is throwing money away.

Low Prices and Low Breeding.

Whenever prices for pure-bred stocA
are low, we find the owners of stock
beginning to experiment with crosses
and grades. While prices for pure
breds were high it was easy enough
to persuade men to breed up and up
only, but as soon as prices for these
same animals began to fall, the inter
est in breeding decreased. This is the
very opposite cf what we might ex-
pect. We would think that men would
be wise enough to purchase pure-bred
animals for breeding when they were
low, knowing full well that it was only
a question of time when prices would
come back to the place they had for
merly occupied. To some extent men
are like sheep, they all want to do the
same thing the same way at the same
time. 1t is this very habit that causes
prosperity to flow in waves instead of
in a smooth flood.

Prompt Attack on, Insects.

The Importance of promptness in
the treatment of plants attacked by
insects can not be too strongly in
sisted upon. The remedy often be-
comes useless if long deferred, the
injury having already been accom-
plished or gone beyond repair. If, by
careful inspection of plants from time
to time, the injury can be detected at
the very outset, treatment is compare
lively easy and the result much more
satisfactory. Preventive work, there
fore, should be done as much as possi-
BILE, rather than waiting for the rene
dial treatment later: the effort being
to forstall any serious injury rather
than to patch up damage which neg
lect has allowed to become considera-

This cover is suggested and has been

The cost of keeping a hen a year
cannot be figured SO as to give an
answer that is worth anything in any
locality, for the reason that local con-
ditions vary SO greatly that what
would be the average cost in one 10
cality is far away from the cost in
another locality. We know conditions
where it costs nothing to keep a hen
a year. and other conditions where
the cost is 80 great that the returns
do not pay for the expenditures.

Yaqui Troubles.

During the past two weeks there has been more or less rumor of Yaqui disturbance in the vicinity of Carbonera, Rayon and Copete, and the sensational press in the United States have had all sorts of stories, including the burning of two or three towns, and pitched battle. One account sent from Tucson stated that the noted Xiii leen hotel was among the build ings destroyed. The Killeen hotel Is at Ures, forty miles away from the scene of the difficulty.
 But a few weeks ago TIE OASIS man was at Rayon and Carbonera and understands fairly the situa- tion. While not there this week he has been sufficiently close to learn some of the facts
 In its relentless determination to break up the peculiar methods pursued by the Yaquis in their warfare, the Mexican government has alarmed them, and they have massed in force and sued for peace. The general idea is that the Yaquis are lazy, worthless savages, like 50
