VARIETIES OF MILO TO GROW
Yellow Is Superior and Varies In
Height from Two to Fifteen
Feet-Avold Extremes.

CBY ALVIN KEYSER, COLORADO A0-
RICULTURAL COLLEGE)
In growing milo It is essential to get
the right variety to start with. There
are two types of milo on the market
the yellow and the white. Yellow milo
is superior to white milo There are
quite a number of varieties of the
yellow milo These vary in height
from two feet to fifteen feet. The ex.
tremely dwarf and the extremely tall
forms should be avoided. Those vari.
eties which grow to a height of from
four to six feet, under ordinary condi-
tions, are preferable The extremely
dwarf sorts do not yield we'll enough.
The tall varieties mostly come from
the south, consequently, they are late
maturing and less drought resistant
than those which grow to a medium
height.
Home grown seed is preferable
whenever 1t can be obtained.

Eggs should be regularly collected

Grain should be fed poultry at

longest.
In the poultry business. It's hustle,
hustle, hustle.
Nearly all disease of poultry can be
traced to filth. Clean off the drop
boards frequently.
Young ducks should be ready for
market at ten weeks old. No profit in
feeding them after that.
The ground and duck pen should be
disinfected every spring and fall by
digging up and sowing green crops.
Young ducks are extremely nervous
and cannot stand undue excitement.
Keep the dogs and strangers away
from them.
Hard-shelled eggs are always prefer
able; consequently give the laying
hens plenty of egg-forming material.
Oyster shells are one of the excellent
foods.
We often read Of hens that lay 200
eggs In one year. This Is good rec
ord to aspire to, but count how many
you have in your pen that can go one
better
On most farms 1t will prove better
and more economical to allow the
poultry free range during favorable
weather and fence of the lawn and
garden.
With the common knowledge of the
earning of the farm focks have come
a desire to keep more fowls and make
their keeping special department of
the farm operations
The gains made by chickens during
the summer are rapid and poultry
men are fast beginning to realize that
II they have large healthy birds they
must have abundant range during the
period when they are growing and
developing.
