Teaching Hens to Eat Clover.

When l first fed cut clover in their
mash the hens would eat the grain out
and leave the coarser pieces of clover
and some of the finer ones, says a
Maine breeder in Commercial Poultry.
| fed for several weeks and had to
throw away large part of the clover.
At last I got bag Of fancy middlings
nearly as fine as -four and used good
quantity Of this with the other grain,
making the mash quite "doughy." The
grain adhered to the clover, and they
would eat all to get the grain. 1t
wasn't long before they would pick
out the clover first. After they got
used to eating it up clean with the
middlings there was little trouble when
l left them out. But l prefer q good
quality of middlings in the mash when
clover is included, as they seem to like
it better.

BELGIAN POULTRY.
Work of Societies In Promoting the
Industry.

Industry.
Belgium exports annually from nine
to ten millions Of eggs and about one
hundred and forty thousand to one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars
worth of poultry. The breeding of farm
poultry has made great progress in
Belgium since breeders have under
stood that it is to their interest to
practice in the poultry industry the ma
tional motto, "Union makes strength"
In 1896 the eight agricultural socie-
ties then in existence were amalga-
mated and the National Federation Of
Belgian Agricultural Societies was
formed. Today there are thirty-two af-
filiated societies and clubs, aggregating
over 1000 members. The aim of the
federation is to encourage breeding in
the several branches Of agriculture and
especially to develop and increase the
production Of the different national
breeds and to introduce foreign varie-
ties for breeding purposes.
To that end aid is given by offering
cash premiums for the best specimens
exhibited in the shows held by the diff
ferent affiliated societies and clubs; by

I keep about 300 fowls and have sew

Poultry Notes.

Get the incubator ready if you want
an early crop Of broilers.
Charred corn should be given to the
fowls occasionally. 1t aids digestion.
Don't overcrowd the pullet pens if
you want them to be profitable winter
egg producers.
AS the pullets approach the egg pro-
ducing period be careful not to have
them too fat.
Cabbage, turnips and potatoes cut
very small, cooked and mixed with a
mash food make a fine addition to the
winter mash for laying hens.

window without glass, but wooden
shutter two feet square in the end op-
posite the door for light and ventila-
ton and two exits for the fowls in
front. They have platform the length
Of the house three feet wide under the
perches to catch droppings. This is
kept covered with dirt or dust.
Between the dropping boards and the
floor is a platform for nests. All the
platforms and perches are removable.
The houses have earth floors. Each
house has one large door placed in the
end close to the front. The exits are
II by 16 inches, placed close to the
ground. On stormy days the door is
kept closed, the fowls going in and out
through the exits. The windows have
strong, fine meshed wire nailed on the
outside. Each house shelters sixty hens,
and l keep ten cockerels with four
focks. They have unlimited range
The eggs hatch better than when a
cock is kept for every twelve or fifteen

shown. The platform is whitewashed,
and dust or sand is sprinkled on it.
The perches are poles two or three
inches in diameter. Between the,foor
and dropping platform is another plat
form two feet wide, on which the nests
are placed.
The nests are sometimes boxes made
of short pieces Of board, but usually
are small boxes, bought at the grocery
for 5 cents each.

BOB MONTGOMERY.
Is In from His Bonanza In the
Beatty District.

Bob Montgomery, who has some of
the most promising claims in the Bull
frog-Beatty section of the country, is in
Goldfield this week and talks interest
ingly of the new districts, which he be-
lieves are the greatest in the world.
OF the Shoshone group, which he owns
with L. T.. Edwards, he said little but
gives every evidence that he realizes it
is a whale. He says he has had no
ASSAYS from the rock, but from what he
and others say of the paintings, they
render assays unnecessary. $50
In addition to his own properties MIR.
Montgomery said he has visited and has
great confidence in the Bullfrog-Eclipse
Original Bullfrog, Bullfrog Mining Com
pany of Nevada, Bullfrog National Bank
and the Hazeltine group. He says that
these properties look exceptionally well,
but that other good mines will likely be
developed in the neighborhood.
The town of Beatty is growing rapidly
and will soon have an u%p-to-date paper
published by T. q. Nicklin. An ice and
cold storage plant and bottling works
will also soon be in operation. Beatty
will shortly be connected with Las
Vegas on the Clark road by an auto
mobile line which will make the trip in
eight hours.
