GOOD PouLTRvMEN.
Some Of the Ways in Which They May
Be Known.

It is never difficult to judge poul.
tryman by the conditions which exist
around the yard and houses.
A good poultryman will keep every
thing neat and clean and provide
warm, and comfortable houses, with
nice scratching sheds. He will keep
only pure breeds, and these he will
select carefully and Gull out all poor
specimens.
He will feed carefully variety of
foods-never too much or too little
and will at all times see that mites do
not get any Roadway in the houses.
He will provide separate house for
the pullets and will never allow them
to roost in trees or on fences.
All in all. everything will tell at a
glance that he is the man who will
make a success.

month after they were eight months
old, that is, from January 4 to Febru-

to thresh out all the cowpeas they

FEEDING THE BEEF COW.
Ration Must Be Increased When She
Is In Calf.

The ration necessary for breeding
COW that is carrying calf must be
enough to permit of the maintenance
of her body as well as the growth of
the calf. Cows of the beef type may
be wintered without grain, providing
they are given all the oat straw and
corn stover that they well consume
during the early part of the season.
They should be fed little clover
hay during the early spring months
This, however, is not the best method
of feeding. Shocked corn or silage
with little clover hay is a good win
ter ration for cows. More gain in
weight can be secured where silage is
used than where dry fodder is fed.
The corn plant fed in the form of
silage is more palatable than IL fed in
the form of shocked corn, which is
probably the cause of it's being bet
ter ration for the beef cows. Silage
supplemented with clover hay in small
amounts is about the best feed for
breeding animals that can be produced
on most farms.

The Average Hen.

The average American hen lays 66
eggs a year. AS these are mostly laid
when eggs are cheap, her earning ca
pacity is probably not more than 81.
Her feed, housing, care, etc. cost fully
half a cent a day. or s1.S2 year.
Therefore, it does not pay TO keep av-
erage hens for egg laying. The mum
Der of farmers who keep hens above
the average is still increasing. No
one has put himself on record as ia
voring poor hens when good ones cost
no more to keep.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

Select long. roomy sows, but not
the slow maturing kind.
The man who feeds for market cares
more for type than breed.
Barb wire fencing ruins many good
hogs and is a poor excuse for a hog
fence.
Every yard should have good
strong gate. carefully made. hung and
fastened.
Brood sows should show quality, but
not at the expense of bone, muscle
and constitution.
A good rule to follow is to make
large yards and not eonflne the pigs
on too small an area.
Uniformity in herd is one of the
most essential points and its advant-
ages are obvious.
All things considered, woven wire
properly constructed makes the best
and most satisfactory hog fence
Many good sows are ruined by be.
ing hurt by horses ard cattle. and
should be kept by themselves during
pregnancy.
Pigs of about the same age and size
thrive best when confined in yards by
themselves: they look better, feed bet
ter and sell better.
In building any farm fence it is q
good plan to put ground wires down tC
moisture about every six posts to give
stock protection from lightning.
The hog can make himself an intol
ahIa nuisance ~ mt nnpfinad in urona,
bounds. and no man should attempt t
raise hogs unless he has adequat,
