Poultry Notes.


Protect your poultry from spring

Sour table scraps are not good for
poultry.
Whole corn is good for laying hens
during cold weather.
Hens do better If kept in separate
lots OF twenty-five each.
Give the laying hens fresh water
slightly warmed three times a day
during cold weather.
Large breeds should never be kent
In the same flock with small breeds.
Iable scraps should be cooked and
given to the laying hens.
when hens acquire the feather
pulling habit they should be sent to
market at once
Feed the laying hens at daybreak
and sundown, and keep them work.
Ing the entire time between.
Roosts for poultry should be placed
on a level, so that there can be no
preferred positions.
Lice always attack poultry more
when they are in an unthrifty condi-
tlon than when they are we'll fed and
properly cared for.
If hens are confined to the poultry
house on cold days, see to it that they
do not have to stand on the bare
moor. Use straw, cornstalks, corn
husks or other dry material for a
moor covering. Hens with cold feet
Will not lay very many eggs.
Although turkeys will eat snow

to the horse can tell all that he thinks

fiat back on his neck, he most assur-
edly is meditating mischief, and the
bystander should beware of his heels
or teeth. In play the ears will be laid
back, but not so decidedly nor so
long. A quick change in their po-
sition, and more particularly the ex-
preston of the eye at the time, will
distinguish between playfulness and
vice. All experts agree that the ear
of the horse is one of the most beau
tiful parts about him. and by this is
the temper more surely indicated than
by its motion.

QUALITY NEGLECTED. FOR SIZE
In Breeding the Former Has Been
Sacrificed to the Latter by Many
Farmers and Hog Raisers.

or late years II has become quite
fad with farmers and hog raisers to
let our finances run away with us and
breed our stock of almost every kind
more for quality than for size 1t is
a matter OF fact that when we ship
live stock to market they sell together
by weight, and as a matter of course
the animal or carcass that weighs the
greatest number of pounds will com
mand the most money, aud | think
the habit OF breeding more for quail
ity than for size lies In the fault of
the judges in making their decisions
in the show rings, as | think they
award more prizes to the little, fine
spun animals, especially swine, than
they do the larger type, declares Mr..
Hart, In Kimballs Dairyman. IL they
would reverse their decisions it would
let us all know where we are, and we
wouold breed more for size than for
quality.
When we make discrimination in
favor of quality against size in select
ing our breeding stock, We also dis
eliminate against prolificacy, as my
experience has been the finer the quail.
ity the less prolific, and the weaker
the constitution of the animal. Also
a great deal of this defect Is brought
about by too close in-breeding; so
therefore, l contend that II we would
select our breeding stock of both
sexes Of larger type with good, strong,
heavy bone, with sufficient frame to
build on and capable of carrying flesh,
our hogs would be OF stronger consti-
tuition and more prolific. am not
opposed to breeding and raising pure
bred stock of any kind. | want them
with pedigrees, but | want them large
enough and with a strong constitution
to back the pedigree up.
IL matters not how large or how
fancy hog is bred-ultimately the
pork barrel is the end Of 1t, as 1t is a
matter of natural consequence, all
things being equal, as they sell by
weight in all the markets, that the
hog that weighs the greatest number
of pounds will bring the most money.
Therefore, brother breeders. let us
breed more for size rather than let
our fancies for quality overrule our
better judgment, and not raise the lit
tie fancy ones that are only At to
look at.

Goat Stock for Anaora Crosses.

few years ago Mexican does were
used extensively as foundation stock
for a flock of Angoras, using bucks of
the latter breed However wise the
practice may have been at that time
that method of building up a flock of
fieece-bearing goats is now in vogue
but slightly, IL at all. The practice
fiourished best when the goat raisers
knew very little of the larger prices
they might have obtained for better
grade of mohair. They were content
with prices ranging from IA to 22
cents pound. Manufacturers have
required better hair than can be pro-
duced by grades and this has tended
to reduce very greatly the number of
crosses.

These Indians will eat sleep and
appear in a semi-barbaric style that
will be interesting to every visitor at
the grounds. This attraction will be
as fascinating TO adults as to the chill

dances, shoot with arrows, ride buck

Back TO the Farm.

There is just one way for the people
OF the city to find It. possible to buy
eggs, chickens, meat and -four for less
money-that is for some Of them to
leave the city and go back to raising
more hens, more cattle, and growing
more wheat. The fact is that the
country is getting top-heavy. The
cities are calling too heavily on the
producing areas. Farming is getting
to be one of the most profitable bust
nesses of the country because the pro-
portion of non-producers is getting so
large. 1t is all matter of supply and
demand; just now the demand for
foodstuffs is larger than 1t has evsr

GOLDEN RULE IN BREEDING
BY Careful Study Breeder viii Have
No Trouble In Producing Like
from Like.

Like produces like" Is the golden
breeding, says the American Cultiva-
tor. 1t must be remembered that the
resemblance Is decided not only by
the immediate parents, but by the
grandparents and the great grandpar-
ents, ETC., all being connected like the
links in a chain, or rather like the
twigs of a tree to the main branch.
Hence the qualities of the family must
extend through several generations,
better a dozen generations, to appear
with fair certainty in the offspring.
When a characteristic has once
struck into the organization of a line
of stock IL remains with great persist
ence, even when mated with unlike In
dividuals, as, for instance, the broad
belt OF the Dutch cattle, which Is
nearly always impressed upon cross
of that breed; or the peculiar build
and disposition of the Morgan horse
which persists in spite of many re-
moves from the pure Morgan stock.
These prepotent families are usually
established and fixed by considerable
inbreeding at the start, which is the
readiest way of uniting individuals
possessing similar good qualities.
Then, by careful selection and out
breeding, the qualities once fixed have
been maintained. BY taking into &C
count the influence of the remote az
well as the direct ancestors, the breed
or will have no great trouble in pro-
ducing like from like with regularity.
