CLUCkS AND CACkIES

The United States department of
agriculture recommends in warding off
roup a decrease in the proportion OF
corn and an increase in the proportion
of meat food in the daily ration.
For sneezing and slight colds a sim
pie remedy is a tablespoonful Of kero-
sene in the drinking water, to be re-
peated for several days in succession.
For sore head or chicken poX an ONT
ment made Of two parts lard and one
part kerosene is reliable. Another cure
for sore head is bathing with salt wa
ter and afterward amounting with car
boliZed vaSelino
Cases Of roup have been greatly ben
Gifted by placing a little bromide Of
potassium in the drinking water
1t is a noteworthy fact that the cry
Of cholera comes from sections where
corn is the main diet.
Disease comes to many flocks through
the drinking vessels. Disease turks in
filthy water fountains.

ST. VALENTINES DAY

Many of our most beautiful and
valued customs have their origin in
heather practices. The custom of
sending various sorts of missiyes to
our friends and lovers on the lith of
February originated in an old heather
practice connected with the worship
of Juno the queen OF heaven. The
association OF ST. Valentines day with
the real saint who was an early
Christian martyr is wholly accidental
and the old fellow plays no part at all
in our affairs of the heart Perhaps it
is the beginning of the mating season
that has more To do with the sending
of valentines than anything else. The
springtime is not far off and it is in
the springtime that young hearts, as
we'll as birds, seek other hearts which
may respond to soft signs ana tender
words. II is then, oftener than other
wise, that the young fancy turns to
thoughts of love. Hence the popularity
of st. Valentines Day."

MIXING FEED FOR HENS

c. \. Latham, prominent poultry
man of Massachusetts, who breeds very
high class birds, has a method of
feeding which is simplicity ltsen He
has in each pen selffeeding hoppers.
These hoppers are transverSely divid-
ed into different compartments and
in each compartment is different
kind of feed. They are kept supplied
at all times and his birds eat as much
of each kind of feed as they like mix
ing it to suit themselves Mr.. Lath-
ans stock is always healthy and
thrifty. He never feeds any wet or
damp feed TO his fowls, old or young.
From the first they are fed on dry reed
and get it from the hoppers. Each
hopper contains a variety of grains,
bran and middlings, and a compart-
ment full of dry feed scraps, such as
sold by poultry supply houses and
grocers for poultry feed. This plan
saves an immense amount of detail
work and mussing with hot ashes and
mixed feeds. If there is best way"
to feed poultry, this plan would seem
to be the best.

LlNcoLN's MENTAL POWERS

Lincoln was always strong with
Jury. He knew how to handle men,
and he had direct way of going to
the heart of things. He had, moreover,
unusual powers Of mental discipline,
II was after his return from congress.
when he had long been acknowledged
one of the foremost lawyers of the
state, that he made up his mind he
lacked the power of close an. sustain
ed reasoning and set himself like a
schoolboy to study works Of logic and
mathematics to remedy the defect At
this time he committed to memory six
books of the propositions of Euclid,
and as always, he was an eager reader
un many subjects, striving in this way
to make up for the lack of education
he had had when boy. He was al
ways interested In mechanical princi-
pies and their workings and in May,
lS49, patented device for lifting ves-
sells over shoals, which had evidently
been dormant In his mind since the
days of his early Mississippi river ex-
perience. The little model of boat,
whitfield out wit. his own hand, that
he sent to the patent Office when he
filed his application Is still shown to
visitors. though the invention itself
failed to bring about any change in
steamboat architecture.-- st. Nicholas.

Alfalfa Meal for Hens

g. l.. Cottrell of the Iowa state col.
lege gives his experience with alfalfa
Rs follows:
We find as rule our hens fed on
on alfalfa meal lay very fertile eggs.
which produce strong, vigorous and
hearty chicks. We also find that they
will mouit quicker in the fall and
commence TO lay earlier in the sea
son. For laying hens we put several
quarts OF alfalfa meal into closed
vessel. then pour boiling water over
the meal until it is Thoroughly moist
ened; place cover over the vessel
and let the mixture steep .or awhile
Just before feeding dash little cold
the green color, and the whole pre-.
sents a very pleasing appearance and
is as near grass as any feed can be.
Some prefer to mix the meal with ia
BILE scraps or grain, both of which
add palatability and variety to the
mash. Bonemeal and meat scraps
make excellent additions to alfalfa or
clover meal, both of which are con
centrated food and great egg produc-

Record Of Plymouth Rocks

The following from the Black Loan
Journal, we believe is fair example
OF what can be done: "A farmer in
Michigan reports the following records
for ten Barred Plymouth Rocks
for the year. These ten laid total of
] ,344 eggs, an average of 1874 eggs each
The eggs. the surplus cockerels and a
few pullets were sold for 1922, an
average income of s5.72 from eacn
hen. Allowing that it costs two dol
lars to keep these hens on the back
lot there was profitable return of
$3.72 from each hen. In the make up
of these values seventy.three fowls
were sold for 5000: the eggs were
sold for 1892, making total which
is entirely within the possibility of
.evryone that grows a small flock of
chickens on a town lot"

Buying Pure Breeds

II farmer desires 10 improve, let
him begin with pure bred males. II
he gets a male every year, let it be Of
the breed he originally selected. In
TWO or three years he will have the
7ocks uniform. and they will grow
better and better every season and at
a cost that is almost insignificant. -.
neightbors desire to improve, let them
cooperate in purchasing pure breeds.
and if they refuse then he should
compel them TO pay him for his enter
prise when they call with a sitting of
eggs from mongrel hens to be eX-
changed for something better. A dol
Tar or two invested in pure breeds will
make difference in the quality of
The stock and the number of eggs laid
Of more than ten times the cost Of the
birds purchased-Turf, Farm and

Crop Bound.

A great number of birds die each
year from disease known as crop
bound. Golden Egg Poultry Journal
says this is entirely unnecessary and
with a little care can be stopped. The
trouble is that the opening from the
crop to the stomach is closed owing
to the enlarged crop, drying the COW
ering to a great extent. Soak the
crop in warm water and pour some
in to the chicks mouth. Now knead
the crop generally for a while and
you will generally remove the trouble.
II you do not succeed remove few
feathers and make a cut in the crop.
Clean 1t out with warm water and sew
together again. BE sure that you sew
just one skin at a time. Give the
bird particular care for a few days
and all will be we'll again.

POULTRY SOMETIMES FAILS
Twelve Ways to Make the Keeping Of
Chickens Improbable

p. IT, Jacobs, poultryman and ed
itor, gives a few ways to insure fail
ure in poultry keeping:
!. Endeayor to keep two fowls
where room for one only can be OBJ
tanned; that is, saving expenses by
cheapening the cost Of houses and
space
,. Buying fowls from other farms
and thus bringing disease and lice in
to the flock.
9. Overlooking, the fowls being
supplied with the greatest abundance
under the supposition, the more feed
the more eggs"
4. Cold drafts over the fowls at
night, with view of supplying fresh
air. when the thermometer is low.
). Wasting time with sick fowls,
instead Of destroying all birds that
can not be quickly cured
6. Dsregarding the breeds by keep
ing anything that is a fowl.
I. Lack of exercise, the fowls be-
ing idle, disconnected and consuming
food because they have nothing to do.
s. Failure to provide sufficient
warmth in winter. season when eggs
are highest.
O. Feeding corn and wheat eXclu-
sively and committing foods which sup
ply albumen for the eggs.
TO- Feeding three times day, the
result being Indigestion and the in
PRODUCTION of disease N the flock
II. Lice, both mites and the large
lice that are found only on the bodies
of the fowls and at all seasons of the
year.
u. Failure to keep the houses and
yards clean. Labor is withheld at the
most important periods.

Australian Duck Farm

Australia is said to have the larg-
est duck farm and the largest incuba-
tor in the world. The incubator has a
capacity of 1l.440 ducks egge or A.
0S0 hens eggs. The machine is, in
fact hot house 1t stands in open
ground and is constructed OF ordinary
pine boards, with corrugated iron roof.
The egg trays each hold 100 ducks or
100 hens eggs, and there are four of
these traps end to end in eleven tiers
one above the other on each side of
the room, making a total OF eighty
eight.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1908-01-23

An egg tester can be made in the
following way; Fake piece of paste
board and cut a hole in it just large
enough to hold an egg so that 1t won't
slip out Put an egg in the hole and
hold your tester so that the fame OF
a lamp is exactly ON level with the
egg. The opening should fit the egg
so that no light will escape at the
sides. Use black pasteboard and every
egg that shows dark spot with veins
ON the sixth day should hatch. The
clear eggs are infertile and can be
boiled and fed to the chickens.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1908-01-23
Care Of Poultry

Give the same care to poultry as to
cows and YOU will make as much
vested. Generations of inbreeding
have ruined egg producing vitality in
many families of fowls and they do
not pay for their keep. | never blame
a fowl for going into the barn base
ment in winter, where it is a little
warmer than outside, and roosting on
the moving machine seat. think she
shows more sense than the man that
pretends to keep her.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1908-01-23
For Winter Layers

"Pullets Matched in April and the
first two weeks in May, if we'll fed
and cared for, should begin to lay in
November and lay through the winter.
Hens in their second year seldom, if
ever, lay before January, sometimes
not till February. Generally those sue
cessful in having fresh laid eggs dur
ing November and December receive
them from we'll matured pulets, and
not from old hens"
