Fowls In confinement, to do we'll,
need variety of food
The milk aerator is most serviceable
in removing taints or odors from milk.
Usually the hog will thrive best that
will squeal for his feed OF the regular
feeding times.
Whenever possible well should be
sunk, SO as to secure permanent sup
ply of cold water.
Select the turkey hens wanted for
breeding. The hens should not be kept
after they are years old.
The shearlng machine, that by hand
| or other power, runs clipper for cut
ting, Is humane affair; 1t never cuts
a sheep.
The main secret in securing eggs In
winter is to supply good, comfortable
quarters, and keep the fowls in good,
thrifty condition.
Cabbage Is n fine sheep food, is ap-
petizing, healthful and not costly
crop to raise; in fact Is cheap when
quantity and quality are considered.
From estimates made 1t Is agreed
that hen can pay her board with one
egg week, providing the market
price for eggs averages 2la cents each.
Unless especially desired for breed
ers, hens that do not lay regularly
should be marketed MS soon as pos
sible. 1t costs something to winter
even hen.
When fenced away from gardens and
flower beds fowls cause but little an
noyance on farm. They do an i'm
mense amount of good in the protec-
ton of crops by the destruction of In
sects, larvae and worms.
The runt seldom If ever pays. The
animal that pays is the one that gets
a good start in the world and keeps 1t.
1t may pay to raise the runt IL feed is
no item. If feed is bought, the owner
Is better Off If the runt is in the other
mans pen.
