DANGER TO POULTRY.

While 1t is pleasant to see the fowls get
so much exercise and sunshine during this
long open winter. enc shoulS De ed
at all times for the colder weather likely
to come any day. The main danger lies
In permitting the houses to become damp
or 20 allow the fowls to remain out too
long. Even during these pleasant lays
we find II the best plan TO give the birds
the range only about three hours at The
middle of the day; the rest OF the time
they have the open scratching shed for ex-
ercise. but the curtains are dropped as
5000 as the cold wind begins to blow. BY
this the fowls become rugged

they can find nothing to pick at; they are
much better In the scratchig shed search-

the grit box. the dust boxes and all feeding
utensils should be in the scratching shed,

THE M

One OF the astonishing things In vege-
table growing or rather in growing vege-
tables for the express purpose OF supply
ing the consumer, Is the utter indiffer-
ence shown by the grower to the matter
OF quality. The same thing applies to
fruits. IT would be excusable II there
were no other sorts but when there are q
dozen more or less far better than the
varieties offered 1t is strange indeed they
are not grown. A family we'll known to
the writer was especially fond of musk
melons and bought them I'm large guam
titles until all that were offered them were

USING THE OPEN WEATHER.

The man who does not spread the ma
nure on the soil because it is too hard
work in cold weather has little excuse for
this neglect his winter. If he would make
some sort Of a test, In a small way, OF the
comparative value Of manure N the barn
yard all winter, that stored in suitable
sheds and that placed directly upon the
soil soon after it is made he would find the
results in favor of the last named method,
but, more especially, would he realize
what he is losing yearly by having the
MANURE in the open barn yard subject TO-
the elements. We do not know If any one
has ever been able to calculate the loss IN
one year to farmers throughout he Unit
ed States because of the manure lying in
the open barn yards, but 1t must be simply
enormous. During the open weather, with
little snow on the ground, the manure
spreader will do splendid work and will,
put the manure just where one wants 1t.
Even If 1t must be spread by hand 1t will
certainly pay to do II. Why not try the
plan suggested Of a small area MANFRED
with the part which has been in the barn
yard all winter and an equal area with
manure which has been under cover and a
third equal area covered during the win
ter with manure and plowed under in the
spring. Us the same quantity of manure,
the same crop and keep careful note of re-
suits. 1t viii certainly pay and another
year you will not need advice on the sub
ject for you will know from your own ex-
p]erienCe just what to do.

GROUND FEED FOR HORSES.

Horses do much better when they grind
their own feed no matter what it may be,
hence, except 'on special occasions, ii is
not desirable to let horses have much
ground food. Corn, IL fed should be given
shelled ar times and other times on the
ear; other grains should invariably be
given whole and, only on rare occasions.
should the hay be cut very fine. Timothy
or mixed hay should be fed. the former to
be preferred. Fed the proper rations In
this way with some roots occasionally
there will be little danger of indigestion
provided the horse Is properly stabbed
where there IS considerable ventilation.
Exercise and good water are, of course, es-
sential and with the other things men
toned there ought to be little trouble with
the horse at any time. During the winter
grooming should be done with special care
for with the thick Goa 1t is apt to get
dirty and the d.rts go out Of sight unless
HI grooming is done thoroughly each day.
Use the comb, the brush and a large cloth
for the final rubbing off OF the dust by the
prush.

PREPARATION FOR ALFALFA.

Unless positively sure that the soil 1,
sweet it is a good plan to start the pre-
paration of the soil for alfalfa by apply
ing about 500 pounds TO the acre of un-
slaked lime and pillow under; then inocu-
late the soil by spreading broadcast over
1t 500 pounds of soil from a field which has
grown good crops of alfalfa. The soil
ought then to be narrowed and re-har-
rowed until one has as fine a seed bed az
he would prepare for wheat. III the soil
is rich 1t will be a good plan to let the
field lie for a little time, which may be
done If the work Is done early In the
spring, so that the first crop of weeds will
start and row large enough so that, with
the harrow, they can be gotten out of the
way before the seed alfalfa Is sown. Next
comes the sowing of the seed and 1t must
be said here that the finest seed obtain
able, hat which has been well cleaned and
cleaned again is none too good. 1t will be
expensive but 1T will pay. Sow this seed
by itself lido not mix any other seed with
ii for alfalfa does not need a nurse
crop'D at the rate of 80 pounds per acre.
On rich soil the weeds are quite likely
to get the start of the alfalfa making It
necessary to clip them off once and per-
haps twice before the alfalfa will hold its
own; this will be tedious work but ii will
pay. A field prepared and sown to alfalfa

VENTILATION FOR COW STABLE.
Any dairyman who has had experiences
on both sides of the question will say
without hesitation that ventilation in the
COW stable means an added profit to the
dairy. Ventilation by no means can be
had through open windows unless they are
skillfully placed but even this plan Is
mtrch hpttar thar tho nrnrffpalU closed
room. While the best system of ventil-
alton is undoubtedly the one hat admits
the air from the bottom, we have made
the same plan we use in the poultry
houses work very nicely. In the stable
containing 16 lows we have three OF these
ventilators which are simply hollow run
nelsa foot square running through therool
with holes eight inches square on the SIDES
at the top, and one board cut out entirely
at the end which rests on the hoor. rms
board is cut out so as to cave an opening
just a square foot. An excellent plan OF
window ventilation is that described some
weeks since with a double window, one
OF glass and one of muslin, the latter 10
slip over the opening when the window oil
glass is pulled aside. 1t Is also possible
10 provide ventilation without draughts
through windows by the use of screens
That is, arrange a light board screen on
the side of the casing next to the COWS so
that when the window Is opened the Wlnd
may be detected away from the animals.
AS a matter of fact anyone WITH a little
skill can arrange a ventilation system
which, while it may not be pretty nor
the best thing obtainable will answer the
purpose admirably. Have some sort of a
yentilating system then keep the cows and
the stables clean and n will see q de-
cided increase in the profits from the
dairy.

TIMOTHY HAY FOR cows.

The man with a good crop of first class
timothy hay and a good herd of mich
cows is to be envied for he can sell the
hay at a price which will enable him to
buy almost anything his lows need to give
the best results. With a crop of oat hay
or oat straw as it is generally known, on
hand the sale of the timothy to horsemen
will enable him to buy all of the grain
needed TO make with the cat straw a
splendid balanced ration. The timothy
hay is first class for horses, but very poor
feeding for cows that are being MIXED.
Bran, corn meal, oil meal and gluten meal
in equal quantities fed with the oat straw
as ~roughage will give the mich COW a
pretty well balanced ration which will
bring the rich milk. Add to this OCCASION
al feeds of root crops, keep the cows clean
and comfortable and We'll watered and the
results should be entirely satisfactory.
The beauty of this plan is that at the us
ual price for clover hay and the price for
timothy the sale of the timothy will pay
nearly the entire cost of the other good
things recOmm ended fnr the cou,

FEEDING LAMBS IN WINTER.

There is considerable difference of opin-
ion between expert sheep raisers on the
subject of winter feeding of lambs, the
claim being made on the one hand that
the lamb can only be carried through the
winter in good shape on a ration com
posed largely Of grains, while others feed
ers claim this method to be ~extravagant
and advocate the feeding of high class
roughage almost exclusively. AS for the
latter plan IL is admitted that the season
of feeding is OF necessity longer to obtain
the best results but that is balanced by the
decreased cost. The experience of other
feeders is along the line of using both
grains and roughage intelligently, start
ing the lambs IN the best of clover hay
and alfalfa is possible and when they get
large enough feed a small ration of corn,
increasing it as they grow. On farms
where root crops can be grown and where
some portion can be given over to small
crops of grain 1t pays to follow the plan
of both grain and ~roughage for the lambs
particularly If the latter can be fed In
racks in large comfortable sheds where
the lambs will have plenty of exercise.
With fresh water at hand, room to gambol
and sweet fodder in the racks they VIII
consume surprisingly large quantities OF
and thrive on It..
