Chickens Feet.

Did YOU ever notice how chickens
stav on the roost in the morning after
a nights snowfall? The reason is that
they do not like to get their feet in
the cold snow.
Chickens feet are poorly protected
to stand the wet and cold, and when
anv animal gets cold feet it begins TO
suffer generally and its growing and
producing powers are impaired. The
feet being at the extremity of the body
are more easily chilled and more diff
cult to warm.
You perhaps have also noticed that
a chicken on the roost sits with its
feet covered with feathers to keep
them warm. When it comes off the
rOost on a snowy morning and is
compelled to alight in the snow or stay
on the roost all day, as some of them
often do the bird is in no condition to
secure a sufficient amount of food
and drink The consequence is that
generally with each snow the hens all
stop laying, or lay only very few
eggs, till the snow is gone.
Plenty of litter on the henhouse floor
is recommended by all poultrymen
for the fowls to scratch in. The fact
is that the dry litter in keeping the
feet warm does as much good as the
exercise in scratching out the grain.
When chickens feet are real cold they
will not scratch. The dry litter on the
floor keeps the feet warm, which en-
ables the fowls to scratch, and secure
more feed Hence, the whole secret of
keeping the hens active, singing and
laying when snow is on the ground is
to provide them with ample dry shell
ter and provide the floor of the shell
ter with a deep carpet of dry straw
or warm litter. The secret of sue
cess with young chicks in spring is in
providing a dry, warm floor for them
to walk on and sleep on. Keep the
chickens feet dry and they will do
the rest.

Drawing Fertilizer From The Air.

Every farmer knows that his fertilizers
must be rich in nitrates to produce the
best results, and he also knows that such
| fertilizers are expensive.
Through the invention OF Norwegian
chemist, the prospect is now good tor a
supply of fertilizing nitrates at low price
and in unlimited quantities. Professor
Birkeland, of Christiania. while making
some electrical experiments, discovered
that he had found way ofextracting nj
trogen from the air. Accordingly, he set
about perfecting his accidental invention.
This was six years ago. There is now
in Norway a company, backed by English
and German capital, which is turning out
nitrate-a compound of lime and nitrogen
by the ton for use as fertilizer. The
lime they dig from the hills, and air-a
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen-furnish
the material.
Common air is forced through pow
erfu electric flame, and its two gases
unite to form nitrate ovid-a gas which
absorbs more oxygen when exposed to
air. By well-knoWn process it is
changed TO nitric acid, which is caused to
combine with limestone. The product is
calcium nitrate, which ground into pow
der. II is said to be as good a fertilizer
as Chile nitrate, which is sodium nitrate.
So great are the profits in the business
that American capitalists are developing
here different process. They first lique-
fy air, and then obtain the nitrogen from
it by dstillation. The nitrogen is forced
into an electric furnace, in which coke and
lime have been caused to combine and
form calcium carbid. The carbid absorbs
the nitrogen, and becomes calcium cyan
amid, a valuable fertilizer.
Ii is only within year or so that these
artificial nitrates have been produced in
commercial quantities. 1t has long been
known that nitrogen could be supplied to
field by blowing in crop of clover or
some other leguminous plant, which
draws the nitrogen from the air in large
quantities. But by the new processes the
farmer can get nitrogen into the soil with
out having to give up the use OF the land
for year.
