TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Colony Plan For Fowls.

Where the hens are kept in colony
houses they may be moved to differ
ent grainfields as soon as the crop has
been harvested and find plenty of feed
for several weeks.
Glover or alfalfa chaff may be gath
cred In the barn and given to poultry
every few days. We are gradually
learning that bulky feeds, such as the
clovers, make good feeds for part of
the egg ration and form n decided ad-
vantage in small cost.
Farm poultry is too often allowed to
run in one large flock. The chicks
cannot be fed properly and are almost
sure to become infested with lice from
the older fowls. Often ducks. geese,
chickens and turkeys are all turned to-
gether to fight for supremacy. The
more the fowls are distributed over
the farm in summer the more pro
ductive they will be.-Winconsin Stu
dent Farmer.

EGG PRODUCERS
OF THE FUTURE
Indian Runner and OTpington
Ducks Are Prolific Layers.

In the near future we shall look
largely to ducks for our egg supply.
writes J. Z. Cummins in Western
Poultry Journal. The new breeds Of
egg producing ducks that lay white
shelled eggs. the Indian Runner. and
the Buff Orpington duck. are now
helping to solve the egg problem. The
rapidity with which these fowls ere
growing In favor is wonderful.
The Indian Runner is the best known
and is coming to the front by leaps
and bounds. II is a beautiful bird that
natures very quickly and is usually
shclling out the eggs at four months of
age 1t is no trouble at all to produce
the second generation of Indian Run
ners the same season. Their eggs
hatch readily, but must be placed ul-
der hens, as the Indian Runner never
sits.
This duck is smaller than the Orp-
| ington duck, but lays nearly as many
eggs, sometimes above $50 a year.
When we remember that three duck
eggs are the equal of five hen eggs in
weight ana FOOD value, ana that the
annual production of a Runner is
equivalent to 400 hen eggs, we get
proper idea of its value as utility
| fowl.
This duck is a great forager and re-
quires little or no feeding when given
| free range, preferring grass to grain.
1t is very hardy and prefers to rooSt
outdoors on the ground, except in Sc
we're weather. The housing is sim
pie problem and a fence twenty-four
! inches high is sufficient.
The flesh of the Indian Runner is
especially fine in quality and early In
maturity, and can be produced at less
expense, pound for pound, than the
ordinary market duck, but it is even
more profitable as an egg producer.

Tobacco For Sheep.

have helped dissect lambs dying Of
tapeworm that had had all the tobacco
they would eat for months previously.
writes Joseph e. Wing In the Breeders
Gazette. 1t may help some. but assur-
edly it will not prove sure preven-
tive of tapeworms. Tobacco seems to
aid greatly in keeping down nodular
disease and stomach worms. The So
cret of success seems to be to salt the
tobacco only very little, then feeding
1t in unlimited amounts and giving no
other salt. II seems to do the sheep no
harm to eat it in fairly large amounts,
and most failures in it's use come from
using too little of it.

IMPROVING the Herd.

There is only one way known under
heaven of improving the quality of Il
pure bred or a grade herd of COWS
that is, by the constant use of the very
best and most prepotent bulls that can
be obtained. good care and generous
feeding. Any letting down of the idea
of quality in the sire will surely result
in a corresponding degeneracy of his
heifers. to be shown in their future his
tory as COWS. Farmers are not saving

PROGRESS OF Cement.

A few years ago America imported
more Portland cement than II manu-
factured. Now the tables have been
turned, and this country has taken
the front rank in the production Of
cement and It's use in construction. It
has been estimated that the quantity

Beautifyino Army POSTS.

Interesting is the well authenticated
news that army officers in Manila have
caught the civic improvement spirit
and are engaged in making beautiful
the various posts. Many shade trees
have been planted, and a noncommis-
stoned officer has been sent, 1t is said,
to the city nurseries to make a study
of horticulture. From the nurseries
quantities of plants are being sent to
the posts. In our own land 1t is usual

The third annual convention Of the
American Society Of Agricultural En-
gineers was held at the Iowa State
College, Ames, Iowa, on December 2Sth
and 10Th. The society was formed at
Madison, Wis, in 1908, by few men
most Of whom were then engaged in
teaching agricultural engineering In
the universities throughout the coun-
try. The Importance OF the work to
be accomplished by such an organiza-
ton was soon realized by prominent
manufacturers and others interested
in the field both commercially and
professionally, the result being that
during the last two years the member
ship of the society was increased fully
four hundred per cent. A word ex-
planning the term agricultural engi-
neering' may be of interest to many
who have not become fully acquainted
with the work. Within the scope of
the term falls a study Of farm ma
machinery, farm buildings, farm con-
veniences, and irrigation and drainage.
In short, it deals with the mechanical
side of farm life, involving teaching,
investigation, and manufacturing acti-
vities.

The Model Cellar.

A warm, dry cellar is literally and
actually the foundation of warm,
dry, well ventilated house. The evo-
luton of the cellar is an interesting
study in the development Of human in

Tit was devised originally simply d.
a subterranean frost proof pit, Or cave,
under the house, In which could be
stored, first wines and later apples,
potatoes, cabbages: and other perish
able fruits, together with milk, butter
and cheese.
Next it was utilized, when the abb
surd insufficiency of stoves and ire
places for heating purposes was rec
Ognized, a. convenient place va put

WATER RIGHT GUARANTEES,

The settler in any Of the arid or

irrigation is required in the growing
Of crops Of whatever kind, should in
the purchase Of land be most partic-
ular i'm regard to the water rights
which 20 with 1t. lie should see to 1t
first of all that the parties back Of the
irrigation system are absolutely relia-
BILE and above even the suspicion of
crookedness and dishonesty. A gov
eminent irrigation project is reliable
in the matter of its water guarantees,
for no more land l. sold than the en-
gineers are positive can be adequately
supplied with water when moisture i
needed. There are some private irri-
cation companies whose guarantee is
just as good, but there are many other
projects where land is being sold at
long prices in which water could not
be furnished in sufficient quantities at
the critical time IL one were to wait
till lie became gray headed. Water in
when IL Il not needed Or used, II "a
different thing than little or no water
from May to October, when it Is need
ed; hence when irrigated land Is
bought the guarantee of the water
privileges must be in the most direct
and plain terms, so that no loophole
will be left through which the guaran-
tors may evade furnishing service
for which they are duly paid 1t may
b nuisance to have to look after
this matter. but attending to it at the
proper time will mean lot less grief

The Profit i'm Swine,

Eds. Country Gentleman-The cost
OF raising hogs may be much reduced
by raising the pigs on the farm, since
the cost of purchasing young pig at
four weeks of age or thereabout is
much greater according to his weight
than at any other time in his life,
much greater also than the cost Of
producing him at home under ordi-
nary favorable conditions. The cost
Of raising and fattening may also be
much reduced by raising and feeding
roots, vegetables like pumpkins, corn
and home-raised grain; also by pas
turing on clover and by feeding con-
siderable clover or alfalfa during win
ter.
When fattening the greatest gain il
made by feeding corn meal, with just
enough Of vegetables to keep up a
good appetite. Hogs will eat more
ground grain than whole, but will
make q correspondingly greater gain
in weight. Hogs fatten more rapidly
before severe cold weather sets in, as
it requires a considerable portion of
their food to furnish resistance to the
cold. When fattening in winter, a.
warm quarters a. possible should be
which they can burrow for warmth.
When at pasture, it is better to have
several small pastures rather than
one large one. Turn them into a
small enclosure when the grain is
young and tender or the forage
crop is only few inches high. When
they have fed this or fairly close and
ii begins to- look bare and filthy, turn
them into another enclosure. To a
short time the first enclosure will
start up fresh and be ready to furnish
good pasture again. In this manner
much more good feed is obtained from
the same amount of ground than would
be the case if it were all in one large
pasture.
Fattening hogs should make gain
of about one-half pound day. Corn
meal is the main agent to produce this
result, and roots supply something or
an essential nature in connection with
the corn. no keep them in health and
with good digestion, charcoal and salt
are useful. Wood ashes are also of
value. Hogs eat them, and they supply
mineral matter needed to keep them in
health.
A hog is neat animal if given
chance to be SO, yet many Of them pass
their whole lives in untold filthiness.
