THE FEEDER

Don't make the mistake of feeding
ground grain and whole grain togeth-
err. 1t induces swallowing the whole
grain without chewing. AS a common
rule, feed horses whole grain. A thor
ough mixing OF the saliva with the
food is as essential to the health OF
the horse as it is to the man. A bolter
can never do his best nor make a fine
appearance He also wastes his mas
ter's money, says the Farm Journal.
Feed For Ewes In Winter.
In winter l do not like to keep my
ewes that are going to raise lambs
chiefly on corn, says a well known
breeder. feed one part corn, two
parts oats and two parts bran, with
all the clover hay they can eat. If
you have not clover hay to feed your
sheep this winter and you are 60
ing to compel them to eat timothy hay
you would better have shot them when
the winter commenced rather than see
them die after you have brought them
through to the spring You must be
careful on this line OF course corn
fodder Is good for sheep next to clover
hay.
Fatteninx Cattle.
1t is well to look for steers which
have had but little corn and have not
been housed. When an animal under
such treatment comes out looking
bright and shealthy he should be
bought. When well bred such animals
will give to the judicious feeder lib
eral return for food and care given
them. Recognizing that time is the
most important element in the busi-
ness of fattening cattle, breeders have
sought to establish breeds which
would mature at an early age and at
the same time give large amount OF

More and Better Poultry shows.

In the first article Of his series ON
American poultry matters and meth
DDS, published In the November issue
Of Reliable Poultry Journal. Professor
Edward Brown, Europe's foremost au-
thority on poultry subjects. expresses
himself as follows:
whenever an attempt IL made to
improve the poultry of any country
and to awaken interest In this branch
Of live stock there can be no question
that one Of the most powerful and po-
tent influences Is by the establishment
of poultry shows. The educational
value Of such gatherings is enormous.
People are quite content with what
ever birds they have, veritable mon
grels though they may be, until they
see something better. The exhibition
Of any race or breed leads to its adop-
ton, and the competition between those
who keep it distinctly leads to Its i'm
provement, meee perhaps in the earlier
stages than later on, when other fac
tors are introduced"

FRESH AIR IN HOUSES.

Poultry Need Cool Quarters, bat
should Not Sleep In the Open.
There Is vast difference between
using well ventilated or open front
fresh air houses and permitting birds
to roost out in the open, says p. 7.
Woods in Reliable Poultry Journal.
Fresh air Is essential to life and
health. 1t Is one Of the best things
that we have, but even our best pos
sessions may be abused, and 1t Is
sometimes possible to have too much
of good thing. While roosting out of
doors in the trees may be productive
of no harm during summer weather
and early autumn, we firmly believe
that much harm may result by per
hitting them to continue to occupy
these airy perches after the severe,
changeable late fall and winter wealth
er sets in. Birds kept under such con-
ditions could not be expected to give
satisfactory returns In either eggs or
fertility. With an open front house
they have all the advantages Of the
pure air obtained by sleeping In the
open and none Of the disadvantages.
They are well protected by the tight
roof overhead and the snug back and
sides of their roosting quarters. The
cold, chilling winds cannot reach them.
and storms cannot injure them.
OF the many types Of fresh air pOul-
try houses the following rank as the
best examples of satisfactory buildings
for breeding and laying stock: The

Ing a two part door In the front Of
each pen. the upper half of which may
be made to give place to burlap or
muslin screen. Nearly all closed poul-
try houses may be adapted to the fresh
air plan by simply substituting screen
of heavy unbleached muslin for the
upper half of one window In the
south front Of each pen. provided the
house possesses sufficient depth to per-
NIT the birds to roost In the rear por-
