Successful dairy farming depends .
great deal on growing the necessary
feed on the farm. City miikmen car
buy high.priced feeds and make g
profit. but farmers who ship longer
distances require all the advantage
they can get. Alfalfa is getting to be
one of the most important dairy feeds
1t can be grown in almost any part OF
the country where there is sufficient
moisture within reach Of the long tap
root. provided that there is no rocs
to interfere with its growth. II you
never tried alfalfa. commence now by
fitting small piece Of ground very
carefully and make 1t very rich or
top The new plants are delicate and
require careful feeding until they gel
started. Most failures are caused by
insufficient preparation Of the seed bed

II the hens don't lay. turn them out
and let them dig and hunt in the
ground for food is the advice of t. F.
McGrew. in the Country Gentleman.
Bury small grain where they will find
it when they dig. This will induce
them to hunt, and while thus employ
ed they will find bugs and worms that
will quicken the production Of eggs 1t
is well to follow this plan as soon as
the spade will turn the ground. for 1t
adds vigor and strength to the hens
and insures strong. healthy chicks. The
lazy, idle ben is OF no use but to sit
about, eat and grow fat II she Will
not work. she viii not lay. II she will
not lay. her life should end. and her
fft carcass grace the table. You can
rest assured that the indolent hen is
nonproducer; soon she becomes too
tat to lay and too tough to be eaten.
The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1909-10-21

The greatest drawback to the chick
en- business is that there is not days
let-up in the steady routine of work
from the time an egg is pipped until
the az closes the hens history. 1t is
natural after the pullets are feathered
out and weaned and the boosters sep
arated from them to let up little
in the care bestowed on them This
is great mistake II winter eggs are
expected. II there is one thing more
than another that the average poultry
man is liable to err In IT is lack Of
fresh air in the coops at night Slip
out some hot night about IL o'clock
and you win perhaps hear the thump,
thump Of restless chickens crowdine
around against each other. fighting In

will realize that night spent under
such conditions must prevent the

is liable to be worse with incubator
chickens, because they are raised II
larger fiocks and the tendency is Il
crowd them more after taking then

when Hen. Are MouIsins.

One of the difficulties in poultry
raising Is to get the hens to mott ear
ly. SO that they will be ready to lay
in the fall and winter. when eggs are
high. Left to themselves. hens viii
take a long time to molt. and will not
finish until cold weather sets In They
will not then lay until early spring
and all the profits for the winter
months are lost At the poultry in
stitute held In Denver by the Colora-
do Agricultural College, w. ]. R. VII
son, poultry man of long experience,
gave his method of controlling the
molting OF hens. AS soon as the hens
are through laying he turns them on al
falfa. feeding them dry bran only. in
addition. Under this treatment they
get thin. Then he feeds them a mixed
ration of grains and meat. giving a
light feed In the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night Under
this treatment they finish moitine
quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. By October
they are in full laying condition and
make a profit through the fall and

ROADS ADOPT PALMER TICKETS.
Simplicity Main Point Stopover Priv
ileges Cut Out.


Chicago, Oct. ia feeling of relief
has been experienced by the Western
roads over the way the question which
for more than four years has baffled
all attempts at solution, seems at last
to be approaching a settlement through
out the country, and has just been final
ly disposed of, as far as the Western
Passenger association lines are con-
cerned.
The difficulty which had so long
proved iDsurmountable was presented by
the inability of the railroads to arrive
at an agreement as to a standard form
of ticket contract to cover all contin-
gencies. The roads of the Western
Passenger association have finally sig
niied their acquieseence to a revised
report of the committee on standard
ticket contracts, and steps will begin
Immediately for the gradual substitu-
ton of the new forms of tickets.
1t is understood that Central Passen-
ger association roads have likewise
taken an affirmative action in the mat
ter.
The new ticket will be conspicuous
by its simplicity. Efforts will be di-
rected to eliminating every useless word
and making the ticket so plain and
brief as to be understood by any pas
senger. 1t is proposed to cut out near
ly all stopover privileges now permitted
to cut out all verbiage and make the
ticket plain contract by the railroad
and its connections to carry passen-
ger from one point to certain other
points for certain sum of money with.
ing a certain time.
