ALFALFA MEAL.
1t Is a Splendid Feed for Chickens Of
All Ages.

Alfalfa meal is said to be a fine
feed for both growing chicks and lay
ing hens, as good as the growing al
falfa is through the summer. This
will prove boon to the poultry grow
ers in places where alfalfa is grown
so largely.
One lady cures timber neck in fowls
by feeding dry feed only, and asa
foetida. The latter is a fine disinfect-
ant at any rate.
Extra warm houses are not as much
thought of as they were few years
ago. One poultryman in Iowa that
know of, writes a correspondent of
the Indiana Farmer, in a climate that
gets 80 degrees below zero, makes a
success by using the open shed hous-
ing, and the following feed with about
one-tenth part of beef meal, and some
clover meal, for the morning feed.
After this is cleaned up some wheat
is thrown in deep litter Hunting for
this grain keeps them busy until noon.
At noon more wheat is raked IN the
litter to keep them busy most of the
day: at night full feed of corn is
given, warming it in the oven during
coolest weather. Once a week green
cut bone, and hang up cabbage head
for them to pick at and at all times,
fresh water is kept before them.
Curtain front houses are used, the
curtains sewed to rings, top and bot
tom, two wires are stretched, and
these rings slide back and forth on
these wires. When weather is very in
clement these curtains are stretched
snugly. but on nice days they are drawn
back. The top and bottom fastenings
prevent the curtains blowing in the
wind. Grit and oyster shells are al.
ways handy and eggs are gathered all
winter through.

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try q
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, ETC., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as Sec
rotary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmits sion to the Off
cial board. This, it is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
ton to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership Of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
$35, 900 in contributions every year.
Df. G. K. Morris, district superin-
tendent, strongly commends the in
novation. ITO my mind" he says. 1T
is the ideal of church government.
expect to see the plan adopted in
many other cities"

misunderstanding to the certifi-
cate of assessment announced by the
secretary of state, Milwaukee county
will pay 1852, 668.06 for the support of
the schools of the state and county.
Milwaukee county is taxed $30,83O.37
as it's portion of the interest on the
debt; S24,45768 for the support Of
the free high schools; $23,479.37 for
the support of the graded schools;
1913, 559.59 for the support Of the state
university; $45,0O2.13 for the support
of the normal schools, and $300,338.92
for the support of the common schools.
In addition to the amount raised for
the support Of the schools Of the cOun-
ty and cities, Milwaukee county must
reimburse the state for it's patients
which have been cared for in the vari-
GUS reform and charitable institutions
during the last year. This makes
ty for the support of the charitable
and penal institutions of $18,50781.
Through the whole state the assess
ment announced shows SOB, 776.28
must be raised for the care of the
chronic insane; $52,518.19 for the sup
port of patients at the Northern hos
pital; $52,67425 for the support of the
Mendoza hospital; $81, 1925 for the
support of the Boys Industrial school,
and $2,387.10 for the support of the
state tuberculosis sanitarium at
Wales, making a grand total to be
raised by all the counties of the state
for the support of those institutions of
1913, 881.89. In addition to this, yari-
Gus counties Of the state must pay
1912, 662.50 as special loans, $243, 024.1
as school district loans; $15757 for
interest on the state debt; $125,00O
for the support of free high schools;
$4,000 for the support of the graded
schools; $708,160 for the support of
the university; $230,O00 for the normal
schools, and 1884 1893 for the support
of the common schools of the state.
This makes a total tax to be levied
upon all counties for school purposes
of $2,875, 1913, which, including the
amount due the state penal and chart
table institutions, makes a grand total
to be raised of $3,645.29310.

PICKING OUT THE LAYERS.
How You May Be Able to Tell Which
Is the Business Hen.

An experienced, closely observing
poultry raiser knows at a glance the
laying hen. The small feminine neck
and head count, the bright, alert eye
tells a tale, the dropping tail tells an
other tale and when she picks her
feet up and jumps them down we
have another pointer.
How manage the hens? There are
several ways. The trap nest is prac-
teal thing and would be especially
valuable to the small breeder or to
any poultryman or poultrywoman who
had the time or would take ire time
to properly manage the traps Most
people know the meaning c. trap
nests, but for the few that might not
know l will mention that they are a
nest in a box that confines the hen
until the owner releases her; hence it
is known what hen laid the egg.
And there are other ways to i'm
prove the flock. A close observance
and constancy with them enables US
to know by sight what hens lay every
day and those that lay every other day
or do not lay at all. We must never
lose sight of the fact that the cock
erels are half the flock in breeding
value. Many of the same rules that
apply to the race horse, the COW or the
hen also apply to cockerels. The small
neck and head, the alert eye and activ-
ity are all pointers in the right direc-
ton.
I am one of those who believe the
200-egg hen viii never be excelled to
any great extent But DO believe
that any ordinary flock can be inn
proved to a point where the 200-mark
would fit where the 150-mark now
fits. If the time ever comes that egg
records will be a part of score cards.
then the work of improvement will
be on.

IMPORTANCE OF COMB.
Breeders of Fine Stock Pay Much At
tention to Comb.

There is perhaps no part of the pure
bred bird that receives or should re-
ceive more attention than the comb.
A good comb will often give style to a
bird otherwise faulty. The bird with
a good comb is often adjudged before
the rest of it is examined. The stand
ard allows eight points for the COMP,
all of these being for shape alone. 1t
is well for the breeder of fancy
fowls to know the comb requisites
and to breed accordingly with an ideal
in view.
Where the breed requires small,
neat comb, care must be taken in
feeding meat. Too much meat pro-
notes growth of comb, and in the Med
iterranean breeds may cause crooked
or falling comb. Excess of heat will
also increase the size of the combs.
Long exhibition tours with constant
showing in heated rooms will often
permanently destroy the neatness of a
comb. Particular Leghorn breeders
