Our Poultry Department.

Green cut bone has great value when
used as an addition to the poultry ration.
1t is good both for eggs and for growth
of chicks. A Moderate feed of green
bone has been known to start egg pro-
duction when everything else failed. The
quality Of the bone makes considerable
difference. The more scrap meat that is
included, the better the feed, provided
the meat is fresh and wholesome, Raw
bone with liberal sprinkling of meat
scraps fresh from the block is the most
valuable form in which it can be obtain
ed. Boiled bones that are extracted
after the meat is cooked for other purpos.
es are not so good, because the boiling
extracts most of the soluble food ele.
ments. The smaller bones contain more
scrap, cartilage and other food PARTICLES
in proportion than the big beef bones
1t seems to make but little difference
whether the bones are from cattle, sheep
or hogs, but the smaller bones in any
case are to be preferred, Bones that
have been boiled and exposed 10 the
weather are of little value except for the
lime they contain, One reason why some
poultry men are more successful in
the feeding of cut bone than others is
that they are more particular to have
them fresh and feed in quantities, accord.
ing to the need Of the fowls. Judgment
of course is necessary in this respect as
well as in all other live stock matters.

pOIJITRY NOTES.

One reader advises the following as the
best spraying mixture to be used on the
interior walls and roost of the hen house
for mites and lice. One gallon Of cheap.
est kerosine oil and pint Of crude car
bolc acid. These materials mix well and
when applied with a spray or an old
broom the mixture is death to all mites
and lice with which it comes into contact.
The idea that roosting on poles or roost
causes crooked breast brones in young
poultry seems to be an exploded theory.
One experienced poultry raiser tells us
that after great deal Of investigation he
has found that crooked breast bones re
suit FROM the lack OF proper bone build
ing food and not from roosting on a
perch. Last yeaS he conducted Ii tie
experiment af his own. One pen Of pure
bred Plymouth Rock was fed ration OF
bone and meat meal mixed with other
feeds once day and another pen was
given non-bone building feed. Both
pens had roosts, while a third pen was
without roost and was fed no bone build.
lug food. The pen that received tile
breast bones, while the majority in the
other two pens were affected.
Wage vigorous war on poultry Tread
lice as the weather becomes warmer. One
or two are usually all that are found on
each chick but they are enough to keep
the little chick under the weather. Look
on the back of the head, on the throat or
even under the wings. A drop Of equal
parts OF kerosene and lard is the most
simple as well as effective remedy.
One poultry raiser tells us that 300
capons are less trouble and make him
more clear money than 20 head of hogs,
aud he raises some good hogs, too. He
says that caponiaing is easily done. The
instruments can be obtained at a low
figure from any poultry supply or incu
bator establishment and if directions are
followed there need be no tear OF serious
results.
Remember that comfort and danipness
never go hand in hand. II II v desired
to keep the birds comfortable il is neces-
sary to make their roosting quarters per
fectly dry. The coops should be aired
aud summed every day. II they are SO
located that the sun cannct sliine in
them, turn the openings up to the sun
till the coops have dried out.
For codling moth, it is no doubt a
good practice to scrape the bark as soon
as the spraying is done and place paper
bands around the place where the bark
has been scraped smooth. The caterpil.
lars will seek the protection Of this Band
and may there be destroyed in numbers
The bands should he examined freca!ent
ly and the worms snf cocoons burned.

Kindness To The Old People.

One Of the things that should not be
neglected, nor in all cases be regarded
solely as duty" to be gotten
rid of as quickly as possible and with
the least expense and trouble, is attention
to old people. If your parents are living,
let them share in your life as far as they
may, and visit them whenever you can.
If you cannot visit them, at least send
them the lougedfo letter. or the loving
message on postal card. At the holi
day season. send them little remember
ance-they will not be particular as to
costliness, for its chief value in their fad
ed eyes will be that it comes from the
"boy" or girl" that will always be one
of the Children" no matter how the
world may regard you.
Old people have few pleasures, as their
interest are narrowed down by the in.
frmities Of age, and they live more in
the past than in the present; they look
forward but little way, and their dulled
ears hear the sound of waves breaking
upon all unseen shore far more distinct
ly than they do the roar of the traffic or
the blare Of the battle music. Their
world is not your world but their lonely
old hearts follow you, lovingly, longingly.
Their companionship may not interest
you much, and their garruli,y wear upon
your patience; but do not forget that
their best years were given to caring for
you, and it would be but small return
for their long devotion to give them a
few hours Of your company, or a mo-
ments time for "Haill" as you sweep
along the faster current that is bearing
you past the quiet haven into which their
battered barks have been swept by the
swirl of the stream. Some day the word
will reach you that the frail old body has
found rest, and remembering the riches
of their love for you in the old time, you
will not think il much to leave your
business and go back to help lay them
away inside the Gates Of Peace.
Remember now, while they are still
with you, how childishly happy your
presence could make them, and-"Don't
keep all the flowers for the funeral. ~

The Republican portion of the state
administration has been eminently
satisfactory, and will be heartily en-
dorsed by the party.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Hadley is the gubernatorial fav-
orite, and if he can be prevailed upon
to accept the nomination will be a
valuable asset to the party. Secretary
Swanger is one OF the big men of the
party in the state, capable of filling
any place, and as he now holds a
most responsible position, he will be
asked to stand for reelection. He is
one of the best campaigners in the
state. Under the laws of the state,
Treasury Gmelich is ineligible to re-
election, but he has brought wisdom
and competency into the management
of the affairs of the Office. Auditor
Wilder has made first class official
and will be renominated.-Judge
Lamm was elected for ten years ms
tead of four. Republlcanism in Mis-
souri,, as judged from the state officers
in 1905, is bright and shining light.
