Grain Food For Chicks.

Oatmeal is probably the best grain
food for chicks. Oats cannot be suita-
bly, prepared, however, in a common
feed mill. The hulled oats are what is
wanted. They can be purchased as
the common rolled oats or sometimes
as cut or pinhead oatmeal. The latter
form would be preferred, but either Of
these is an excellent chick feed. Oats
in these forms are expensive and
should be purchased in bulk, not in
packages. If too expensive oats should
be used only for a few days, when
they may be replaced BY cheaper
grains. Cracked corn is one of the
best and cheapest chicken foods Flax
seed meal could be used in small guam
titles. Kafir corn, wheat. eowpeas
in fact, any wholesome grain-ma be
used to advantage. Farmers possess
ing feed mills have no excuse for feed
ing chicks exclusively on one kind Of
grain. II there is no way OF grinding
grain on the farm. oatmeal, millet seed
and corn chop can be purchased. At
about one week Of age whole Kafir
corn and a little later whole wheat can
be used to replace the more expensive
feeds.-Oscar Err, Kansas.

BUILDING
THE STLO.

The building of a silo is of a great
deal of Importance, and before it is un-
dertaken man should investigate
thoroughly the principles relating to
the construction and storage of silage.
One of the early mistakes was to build
silos too large in diameter and too
small in height. This resulted in get
ting very little pressure on the silage,
which permitted the air to get in and
consequently caused the ruin of the
feed. Wherever air can touch the
silage numerous germs from the air
attach themselves to the moist surface
of the silage, and the sugars in the
silage become food for the minute
plants that cause putrefaction or mold
ing. If the silage is very green the
putrefaction bacteria develop most,
while If the silage is old-that is, made
from mature cornstalks-the spores of
mold develop most. In either case the
silage is ruined The first thing, there
fore, farmer must look out for is to
have sufficient height to his silo, so
that the pressure on the underlying
silage will be very great.
All things chopped up fine, as is all
properly cut silage, develop a great
deal Of lateral pressure This forces
the silage out against the sides Of the
silo and packs it SO firmly against the
walls that air cannot get in. The plan
is to build a silo not less than thirty
feet In height and generally not less
than sixteen feet in diameter. If the
silos are built small in diameter, they
become expensive, as silo eight feet
in diameter would cost great deal
teen feet wide. These dimensions are
being quite widely followed in the con-
struction of many silos The diameter
beyond sixteen feet must depend upon

Dents For Pia Feeders.

Don't give the liquor in which pota-
toes are boiled to the pigs. The tannin
destroys the lining of the stomach.
Don't keep pigs in confined places up
to their bellies in mud. They are not
dirty in their habits except you make
them SO.
Don't feed pigs solely on corn, as
pigs SO fed do not command the prices
that pea fed pigs do
Don't send discolored grain away
1t will pay you better to give it to the
pig and let him do the marketing.
Don't discard straw or any straw
stuff that will do for bedding It will
give comfort to the pig and ultimately
make good manure for the farm.

spick and span and a flock that is in
the pink of condition.
So you can see the necessity of quar-
antine and also for a special place to
cage sick birds The first thing to do
is to remove all affected birds, with
their squads, to other quarters. White
wash thoroughly, having the lime
strong with crude carbolic acid.
Renew nest material and keep unaf
feeted birds under close observation
Feed dry meal sprinkled with sulphur
In treatment if disease can be local
lied or confined to spot where it first
appears the warts will dry up aud fall
off and the bird will be little affected.
Remove top of warts, dip a toothpick
Ia carbolie acid and just touch the red
spongy surface with the acid. Paint
with iodine, having care not to get
remedies in the eyes or on unaffected
surface. Some burn out the warts with
a redhot iron This is cruel to the bird
and dangerous for the doctor.

PIGEON FOX.

Pigeon pox is caused by protocol and
Is more apt to appear in damp quar-

is moisture, while bacteria increase
faster in heat. Thus pigeon faneiers
who are too lazy to patch leaking roofs
or to clean up may simply blame the
weather when their pretty pigeons are
ornamented with yellow topped warts.
this may come from splashed bathing
water as well as from leaks. Chicken
and pigeon pox are very similar, with
the exceE ion that the ailment is gem
orally confined to the chickens head,
while on pigeons the disease will travel
from head down the neck. over the
under surface Of the body and on the
inner side Of wings and legs.
1t sometimes appears on the back of
the body and wings, and when it takes
diphtheritic turn, invading the
mouth and throat, the disease is fatal
You can imagine the appearance of
flock of beautiful pigeons with lunches
of yellow topped warts on their eyes,
necks and bodies.
Their rough plumage, rapidly ex-
hausting strength and refusal to eat
are signs to their worried owner that
his pigeon cote will soon be empty.
Many, of course, cannot see, and

that are too blind to find their young

the wax type of snap beans
The Jones Stringless is a medium
sized bush plant with white flowers,
bearing early its medium long, round,
curved, brittle, stringless wax pods,
which produce at maturity seeds of
medium size. The mother of the cross,
Golden Eye, is medium sized bush,
with long, fat pods, slightly curved
and somewhat stringy, bearing white
seeds, excepting a golden colored ir-
regular belt around the eye, from
which the variety takes its name From
the cross of these types secured in
1904 it was found that the selected
white seeds grown during 1906 and
the larger area for 1907 gave both
years uniform bush plants of medium
size and earliness and always with
white flowers and seeds. The pods
were straight or slightly curved and
medium fat, with superior brittleness
