ARTIFICIAL MOUNTING.

This is the time of the year when
artificial moulting is most inquired
about, and by very few practiced.
We do not hesitate to say that we
not only have no use for it whatever
but that, we believe very little IL
anything can be gained by it. More
over, we believe 1t is cruel and de.
serving of censure to say the least.
The reason given for putting hens
through this process Of starvation and
then ovarfeed. in order to start all
their feathers at once, is that some
birds get through with their laying
and moult early, while others are not
through and dnoult late This being
the case, how unnatural it must be
to so starve laying hen, that her
improved condition when once again
fed will start or loosen all her feath.
ers at once. What about the egg ma
chinery of such a bird? What effect
will 1t have to stop its natural action
and then suddenly try to start 1t
again. 1900
We say try, for we doubt If once
stopped by this process, that 1t can be
started again until the bird has had
ample time to repair damages and
overcome the unnatural shock which
such treatment must cause.
All the assistance we can advise
in the mcmlting time, is to see that
the birds are if anything more than
usually comfortable; that they are
abundantly supplied with nourishing
food, and everything possible done
to keep them strong and full OF
vigor during this very trying time.
While corn is warming food. and
should be fed literally at such times,
it must be remembered that wheat,
oats, shorts, etc., contain much more
of. the nourishment needed in grow
ing the new feathers than either bar
ley or corn. Oats, too, need soaking
or cracking If fed at all extensively.
There is too much hull on most oats
to make them an at all complete
poultry food, or one to be fed ex-
clusively whole, or they would be ex-
cellent at this time.
Some poultry growers appear to
think that the more unnatural far
fetched things they can do with their
poultry, the more fixings they can
crowd into their poultry houses, and
the more new untried breeds they can
get hold of, the more apt they are
to succeed in the business. The fact
is just the opposite Of all this is true

BRAN FOR POuLTRY.

Population Of the German Empire.

Population Of the German Empire.
The Statistical Year Book for the
German Empire, the 1909 edition of
which has just been printed, gives
the population OF Germany on June
80, 1909. at 63,8S6,O00. The popu-
lation of the empire on June 80,
1908, was 62,982,000. The year thus
shows an increase of $4,000. This
is slightly less than the increase for
the year ended June 80, 1908, which
Is given at $4,000. The last census
of the empire was taken in December.
1905. when the population was found
to be 60,641,278. Later population
figures are arrived at bye adding the
excess of births over deaths and emil
grations. BY this method the popu-
lation on June 80. 1906, was 61,177,-
900; in 1907 it was 62.OS3,00 In
the three and a half years since the
last census the increase in population
has been $3.50, 900, and since the
founding of the German Empire in
1871 it has been, in round figures,

POULTRY HOUSES.

There are three important points
in building a poultry house which
should never be overlooked. The
open or partially open side should
face south. 1t should be on high
ground so as to have naturally dry
floors and the. suns rays should be
admitted throughout, the greater part
of the day. The proper situation
and construction of a poultry house
is very great advantage to the
poultryman and If these matters are
included. the house may be construct
ed successfully along most any othe-
lines. - Farmers Home Journal.

a somewhat chaotic situation which
now exists. Senator Cummins of Iowa
will be one of the first men with whom
the President viii go over the pro-
posed recommendations to congress.
The President is particularly anxious
to get the views of the Iowa senator
on postal savings banks and changes
in the interstate commerce law. Dur
ing the last regular session OF con
gress Senator Cummins indicated that
he would exert all the influence he can
command to defeat the enactment Of a
postal savings bank law unless provi-
sions shall be made for the retention
of deposits in the localities from
which the money is gathered up. 1t is
pretty well understood that the Presi-
dent hopes to bring the support of the
Iowa senator to this proposed legisla-
ton.
