EARN NOTES

Raise more poultry. It costs little
more to produce a pound of poultry
than it does to produce a pound o.
pork, but the price of poultry Is al
ways higher than that Of pork.
The State of Missouri marketed
last year SCI 100000 worth OF poultry
and eggs.
Old geese are better breeders than
young ones. A goose will continue
to breed for many years.
Eggs dampened a day before due

fattening food. such as cut grass or

The Spring chicken is one Matched

KIna Edward as Metronome.

A very wise decision has been ar
rived at by King Edward with regard
to the national anthem. He has
now expressed his desire that a STAN
dard OF tempo should be adopted so
that whenever 1t is played 1t will al
ways be taken at exactly the same
time. This matter. trivial as it may
seem, has long occupied the mind OF
the Duke OF COnnaught, by whom It
was brought before the King, and for
the change that he has thus brought
about the public no less than his own
family owe him much thanks.
Hitherto It has been az the discre-
ton OF every bandmaster or conductor
OF an orchestra to take the national
anthem fast or slow. and generally
speaking II has been dragged rather
than FASTENED with somewhat dirge-
like effect. Henceforth II is 10 be
sung briskly and ioyfully, and we
shall always know the moment the
first note is heard exactly how we are
TO sing It. That it is I'm a sense a
prater does not necessltate a funeral

CHICKS.

A grassy enclosure away from the
main poultry yard is best for chicks.
Here they have the yard 20 them
selves and viii not be bothered by the
grown chickens. Feed them just as
you would the earlier chicks, but pay
particular attention TO having their
soft feed, II you use any, sweet and
clean, for this Is the time OF year
that bowel trouble is easily started In
a flock. Probably more chicks die
from this cause than from any other.
though lice are also responsible for
many losses. The safest plan when
growing small chicks in hot weather,
Is TO use only dry feed. II is also
necessary TO keep the coops scrupul-
ously clean.-Farmers' Home Journal.

PROFITS Oh DAIRY HERD.

The Wisconsin station bulletin 167
gives the record Of the twenty-seven
cows composing the dairy herd-the
feeding and profits on each COW for
the year. The twenty-seven cows
showed a net average profit Of S54.67.
The COW making the highest profit
was johanna Holstein'Fresian.
1851. The Jersey COW Marcella
stood next with a profit of $S0.0l.
The smallest profit OF any one OF
the twenty-seven COWS was 1888. OF
the Winter rations fed to the cows
the bulletin says:
owing to the fact that the cows
were pastured in the summer. 1t IS
only possible to have accurate rec
ords OF the entire feed consumption
Of the COWS in the herd for the Win
ter period For this reason special
consideration is given the rations fed
to Che cows during the Winter
months. Twenty-seven COWS were in
cluded in the herd during the past
Winter, and each received daily, ac'
cording to her capacity, twenty-five TO
fifty pounds of corn silage, about
seven pounds of mixed hay, and APP
proximately as many pounds OF grain
daily as she produced pounds OF bu.-
ter fat during the week. The prin-
cipal grain ration consisted, as al
ready stated, OF wheat bran, corn
meal and distillers grains in the pro-
portions Of 3:4:3. Some oats, oil
meal and brewers grains were fed at
times in varying quantities or in the
place OF a portion of the regular grain
ration where 1t was apparent COW
needed some variation in her feed.
The COWS gave milk 1876 days, on
the average during the Winter, and
produced an average Of 21.5 pounds
OF milk and .93 pounds of butter fat
per head daily for the whole period.
The average test was ABB per cent.
The average daily allowance OF grain
per head was 6.S pounds and the
rations fed the cows averaged 2O.54
pounds OF dry matter, LIS pounds OF
digestible protein, and 1918 pounds OF
digestible carbohydrates and fat, the
nutritive ratio being 1910.
Six COWS received, on the average,
more than two pounds Of digestlble
protein daily during the Winter per-
Tod and only Ave cows received less
than one and a half pounds. The
twelve COWS which produced more
than one pound OF butter fat per
day, consumed, on the average, 1873
pounds OF dry matter and 1853 pounds
OF digestlble protein for each pound
OF butter fat produced. The eight
cows which made, on the average,
less than three-fourths OF a pound OF
butter fat per day, consumed, on the
average, 1927 pounds Of dry matter
and 2.16 pounds OF digestible protein
per pound OF butter fat produced.
