The Ground Bone Ration.

We have often referred to the use
Of ground bone for poultry feed, and
will again call attention to the mat
ter. Fresh bones are most valuable,
as they have on them a large amount
of fresh meat. Bones also supply a
large amount of phosphorus, which is
present in bones to a larger extent
than in most other kinds of food Civ.
en- fowls. 1t is to be doubted If there
is any other kind of feed that has re-
ceived a more universal endorsement
than has fresh cut or ground bone;
yet one is surprised as he goes from
farm to farm to find how few farmers
comparatively have a bone grinder
or bone cutter. 1t is more surprising
to find that the fowls generally re-
ceive NJ ground bone in their ration,
even the purchased sort. If there.
were rs many bone grinders as there
are farms on which poultry are kept,
it would be money in the pockets of
American farmers.

The 2oo-Ese Hen.

The 200-egg hen is not IN unknown
quantity among us, and since this is
SO it is easy to reach the conclusion
that it is not impossible to have a
dock of hens all laying 200 or more
eggs a year. The 2O0-egg hen has the
power of reproducing her kind very
"apidly. Only the hen that has that
capacity for egg production must be
distinguished from the rest and must
be put in a flock with other fowls of
her kind. We will never get to de.
veloping strains Of layers till we get
down to dealing with the individual
hen. 1t may be small business, but
one should not "despise the day of
small things" The hen that lays 200
eggs a year will have to have more
attention than the hen that lays 100
eggs a year. If her eggs are set, a
large proportion Of. them will be
found to be infertile, If she is in an
ordinary. flock, with the ordinary ar
rangements as to proportion of males
and females. When all hens lay 200
or more eggs per year, fewer females
will have to be kept with each male,
if the eggs are to be used for in.
cubation purposes. For market u
poses no males are necessary.

New Breeds Of Fowls.

A great many new breeds of fowls
are being developed, most Of which,
will never be heard of outside of the
neighborhood in which they origin
ated. 1t is not SO easy as it appears
to get the public backing for a new
breed. Within a few years new breeds
have appeared, been advertised a lit
tie and then disappeared. On investi.
CATION it will be found that the So.
called new breeds are merely com.
mon crosses and general mix-ups that
The owners imagine have distinct
characteristics. They try to push
them into public notice, but find the
TASK too great for their resources.
There is more to be gained improy.
.ng by selection the breeds we have
than in attempting to make new
breeds out of the stuff we have at
,land. The multiplication Of breeds
does not promise very much to the
public.

Dairy Steers Improbable,

There never will come a time when
steers of the dairy breeds will be prof.
table for the making of beef. It has
been a third of a century since condi.
lions as to prices for feed and prices
for beef were such that the dairy COW
and the dairy steer could be fattened
and sold at a profit. The continual
rise in the price of land and also in
the price of feed that is to be made
into beef has made it necessary to
discard the steer Of dairy conforma-
ton. The man that has a dairy bred
male calf that he is thinking about
steering" and keeping to grow up
into a beef will much better dispose
of the young animal while a calf. If
the dairy COW is to be used as the
mother Of a beef animal it. will be
much better to breed her to a pure.
bred beef bull, which will give a calf
having enough beef animal character
istics to make it possible to mature
him in good time and thus make
some money out of him as a beef ami.

STOCK
Money and the Grade steer.

We would like to know how many
OF our readers ever made none buy
ing the cheapest feeders on the mar
ket and putting high-priced corn and
hay into them. There may have been
a time in the past when corr was so
low that money could be made feeding
it to any kind of stock, but that time
has certainly not existed for a num-
Der of years. The animals that are
known as feeders" vary enormously
in their ability to put their food to
the best of uses.. The cheap animals
are the low grade ones; that is, they
show but a very small amount of pure
bred blood in them. Their sires may
have been a grade bull having a quar-
ter OF improved blood and three-quar-
tiers of unimproved blood, and dams
cows having no blood of the beef
breeds in their veins.
Such animals are low grades and
generally put a large part of their
food onto their intestines. On the
other hand some of the feeders on the
Chicago market have pure-bred sires
sAoS i 4udl pure.
This gives q very high grade and one
that will place all the fat made in
places where it will do the most good
and sell for the highest price. Then
there are all kinds of makeups be-
tween the two grades we have indi-
Gated, with some above and below
them. Il
But the facts in the case are being
recognized among farmers and they
are coming more and more to select
the kind of steers that will make the
most money out Of the feed given
them. So now it happens that there
is a much greater demand for the
high grades than for the more com.
mon kinds, and that is why the price
of high-grade feeders has gone up sc
far that the amount Of profit that can
be made out of feeding them has been
greatly reduced. Since this class is
SO much in demand the men that pro.
duce feeders for themselves should en-
deayor to produce only this class
which is always salable at a good
price either as feeders or as finished
steers.

Warm Drinking Water in Winter.

In much OF the weather we have
in winter the water freezes very
quickly if set out at the temperature
at which it is drawn from the we'll.
To permit the fowls to have all the
water they desire, it will be necessary
to warm the water to about 100 de-
grees. 1t will take some time for the
temperature of this to fall to 80 de-
grees. This given twice a day will
keep them supplied with the liquid
with which to make eggs and flesh.
1t must be remembered that much Of
the eggs, as much of the flesh of
fowls, is water and that all food must
be greatly diluted before it can be
used by the system Of the fowl. The
lack OF sufficient water always results
in a check to the digestive opera
tons. The coldness of the water also
acts as a temporary check. The more
water the fowls drink the better it is
for them, and the more pounds of
flesh and more dozens of eggs they
are likely to produce.

Balanced Rations.

So far as possible, the fowls should
have balanced rations, and it is prob
ably best to balance the rations at
each meal. Man has come instinc'
lively to prefer balanced rations
Long before he understood the rea.
son for it, man made up each meal OF
different kinds of food. He always
wants the carbohydrate potato with
his protein lean meat. If he eats a
meal Of potatoes alone he feels dis.
satisfied, and if he is compelled to
put up with meat alone he feels that
he has not had the kind of food
needed. He does not eat his potatoes
at one meal and his meat at another.
Nature seems to point to the neces.
sity for giving the different compon.
ents of a balanced ration at one meal

The Flat-Reak Beetle.

member said: another insect that
works on the trunk and branches OF

beak beetle. 1t bores little pinholes
through the back of the large
branches, sometimes getting down into
the trunk, and lays its eggs in those
Eoles, where the larvae feed on the
inner bark, sometimes girdling the
inner bark. When that gets too bad,
the best remedy is to cut the tree
down and burn it, but that can be
largely kept out by keeping the tree
in a healthy condition, for they seem
almost always to attack trees that
have been otherwise diseased or in.

A Confidence Dog.

4 butcher narrated the other Day a
story illustrative of the intelligence Of
dogs.
"a patron Of mine," he said, chad a
collie that came to me one morning
with a slip of paper in his mouth.
"'sHalloa, doggie!!' said l, and the
collie wagged his tail and dropped the
paper on the floor at my feet. l open
ed it. 1t was a signed order from his
master for a piece of sausage. l gave
him the sausage. He ate it and went
home.
Time after time the collie came
with these orders to me, and finally l
stopped reading them. Each, 1 pre-
sumed, was for sausage, and each pro-
cured a sausage. I suppose, all told.
the dog got as much as twenty pounds
of sausage from me in two months.
But the master, when l presented
my bill, kicked. He said he had only
given the dog about a dozen orders,
whereas, l must have honored nearly
a hundred.
well, the upshot was that the two
OF us got together and did a little de-
tective work. And do you know what
We found? Why, we found that this
cunning dog, whenever a sausage hun
ger seized him, would grab up a piece
of white paper, any piece he could
ind, and bring it to me.
II had been careless, you see, v
looking at the paper, and through my
caselessness the collie had fooled me
for two months"

Cover the Broken Window.

~ ..
When a window is broken in. the
poultry house it should be covered
without a days delay. BY no means
should the aperature be left over
night. It is but the work Of a few
minutes to tack over the hole a thick
piece of muslin or other white cloth.
This will keep out the wind and let
in some light. II muslin is not han
dy, paper can be used, and If the
broken window forms so large a part
Of the whole through which light
comes, the paper may be oiled and
tho light thus given access. This is,
Of course, only a makeshift till some
one can get the glass needed. The
writer knows of q case where the

broken window was left unattended

The fowls on the roost nearest the

Some Requisites in Sheep Breeding

Some Requisites in Sheep Breeding.
To make a success of the breeding
of sheep it is necessary to have ami
mails Of good quality and keep them
always in good condition. No matter
how highly bred the sheep may be it
will not be profitable if it be allowed
to get out of condition even for a
short time. On the other hand, a
sheep Of poor quality never seems to
be in very good condition. It's quality
is against it. The high quality may be
obtained only by breeding to prepo-
tent animals of good quality. The
condition depends on the feed and
general care sheep get. Some men
buy sheep Of high quality and fail to
give them good care. They score a
failure. Other men buy sheep of poor
quality and give them good care; but
they also complain that there is no
profit in it.. 1t takes a well-balanced
MAI to buy sheep of first quality and
then give them f%rst-class care. There
is money in this combination.

How It Should BE Used.

Two molders were once out Of work,
and were at their wits ends what to
do for u living.
At last n of them conceived an
idea. They went to the place where
they nsed to work and begged some
sand, which they made up into packets,
and sold them as a certain destroyer
of beetles" They had no difficulty in
disposing of them.
An old lady bought the last packet
ana asked how to use it.
One of the men then said:
"Well, as you have bought the last
packet l will tell you. You first of all
catch the beetle, tickle it with a feath-
er till 1t laughs, then drop some of the
sand down it's throat and choke it."
