We may learn much from natures
laws as to how best TO feed and care
for our hens. at times when conditions
are such as TO deprive them of things
needed.
II Is known that when left TO them
selves hens lay the most eggs during
the spring and summer months, sea-
sons when bright days and grassy
lawns, with fresh air, make all living
beings look happier.
The hens have the freedom OF the
fields and hustle about. gathering bits
of grass here ana there, aud leaving
only long enough TO go TO the house
TO lay.
We can learn from this that similar
conditions must be made to exist dur.
Ing the winter months IL we expect
the hens TO lay.
The house must be warm, the
scratching shed must be bright aud
clean. and the food must be whole.
some and so varied that the appetite
will not lag.
Grains should be fed always I'm the
scratching she'd. and the hens must be
kept busy from daylight till dark.
Those that begin first and work the
longest are sure TO be the ones that

As this is the 81 ccial season for
curing meat. and as we have received
calls for information on the matter,
we shall row discuss he business.
A famous and excellent recipe for
curing meat Is this: To one gallon OK
water take one and half pounds n
salt. one half-round Of sugar. one-haif
ounce Of saltpeier, one-haif ounce OF
potash.
This gives the ratio; In Il the pickle
cnn be increased TO any quantity de-
sired.
The ingredients named are 70 be
boiled together until the dirt rises 70
the top and Is skinned off. Then
throw what has thus been prepared
into vessel to cool: when II Is cool
pour II over the beef or pork.
The meat must be well covered with
the pickle, aud should not be put down
for at least two days after killing.
during which time Il ought TO be
slightly sprinkied with powdered salt
peter; this removes an the surface
blood, leaving the meat fresh aud
clean.
The boiling Of the pickle Is some.
times omitted. II Is 20 be remembered,
however, that the boiling puriAes the
article. throwing or, as It does, the
dirt always apt to be found IN salt
and sugar.
This recipe has only TO be fully tried
to prove It's superiority over the com.
mon way OF dealing with the case.
Once thus tried. II Is not likely TO be
abandoned. "The meat" says one who
has put It to the test. is unsurpassed
for sweetness, dellcacy and freshness

Bulletin -, OF the Texas station.
at College Station, Is on feeding fer.
menicd cofionsecd meal 10 hogs. The
conclusions. from careful experiments,
are.
First. A comparison Of the results
OF this experiment with those Of other
stations NJ which coffonsee1 neal was
fed in the ordinary way. indicates
that c0ftonsQed meal may be used Ia
larger quantities and for longer periods
when fermenfcd and fed IN a slop. than
when fed without being fernonted.
Second: The report of feeders who
have used colt0nseei meal for hogs
indicate that light feed Of cotfonsecd
meal may be continued indefinitely
and that the consumption Of green feed
lessons the danger Of death from feed
Ing coftonEeed meal
Third: In this trial the hogs were
ynrdfed during the hot summer sea-
son, consequently they were unGcr con
diiions making the trial NJ severe as
possible. Under such conditions fer.
meuting cottOnsecd meal does not en-
tirely remove its Injurious effect when
fed 20 hogs.
Fourth. The results OF this expert
mcnt show that for the first forty
three days Of the feeding the mixture
containing cottonsccd meal and corn
gave larger and cheaper gains than the
straight corn ration. while during The
second period Of forty days the results
were reversed. This leads to the sug.
gesiion that, 10 improve a corn ration,
II would be advisable 10 add colionsced
meal 20 IL for about forty days. pre-.

the FIRST forty days Of the feeding.
