WINTER CARE OF POULTRY

The essentials to profitable egg pro-
duct1on are a healthy flock OF fowls
nossessing constitutional vigor, bred
from a laying strain; proper housing;
and correct feeding. The best way to
secure. a laying strain on the farm ls
II select the hens of greatest vigor
that naturally produce the most eggs
during the winter, also from lay
ing strain, and then select only the
best daughters from this matin.;. Il,
Not enough Importance Is usually
attached to the selection Of laying
hens. faThey must be properly cared
for, Hthey are to lay well during
both hW .nter and summer. Houses
must be kept sanitary and the fowls
free IRON vermin. Care must be taken
to avoid their being chased by dogs
or other animals or unnecessarily
frightened. Poultry houses must be
well ventilated, and one or more win
dows should be opened every bright
day, so that the house will not become
warm during the day and grow cold
again at night. 81
Give Hens Exercise
P6ultrymen should remember that
hens should always be kept pussy
searching for food, so that they may
get sufficient exercise. The fowls
should be sent to roost at night with
full crops and gotten off the roosts In
the morning to scratch in straw or
leaves for grain during the day.
For winter egg production the best
method is to initiate natural summer
feeding conditions for fowls which
Involves some grain from the litter
and some green food. A cabbage or
a few beets suspended from the roof
or some clover or alfalfa chan led
either dry or wet are good. 1t IS
preferable to keep a box Of dry chan
constantly before the fowls, allowing
them to eat all they wish.
Feed Meat.
The meat food must not be omitted,
n this takes the place OF the insects
eaten naturally by fowls during the
summer. Either green bone or beer
scrap will do, or pieces Of meat LETT
at butchering time. Some skim milk
may also be fed to advantage, and
will help greatly in egg production.
The amount given should be small at
first, and then increased gradually
until the mock has all they will drink
UP clean each day.
AS much poultry feed as possible
should be grown on the farm, but
additional feeds may be boek ~
necessary, such a: bran. linss.
s1uten meal, or beef scraps. II farm

bushels of seed per acre from their
alfalfa there, and one man got an
average of II bushels per acre from
40 acres. Now wonder If the. North
Dakota farmer who thinks he is max
ing big money when he gets rs blu. of
wheat per acre and sells it for $1.OO
per bushel, can comprehend what
this means. Now l do not know what
alfalfa seed is worth at Whitney, Neb.,
but l know that Northrup, King &
Co., seedsmen of Minneapolis, ask
'$14.2O per bushel as had a letter
on the 9th inst. stating that fact.
Now we will say that alfalfa seed is
worth $1,000 per bushel at Whitney,
Neb., which would be $4.20 less than
in Minneapolis, and you have from 40
acres, 44O bushels Of seed at $1,000
S4,4OO.OO. And this Is not all. You
always cut one crop of hay from
alfalfa the same year you raise seed.
We will estimate Il IL tons OF hay
per acre-6O tons, at $10-$60O.OO
making a total money value Of the pro-
duct of 40 acres Of alfalfa $5000.00, Or
an. earning capacity of $4,000 per
acre. What do you think OF that Mr..
Wheat Farmer. OF course, this man
may not realize quite that much from
his 40 acres. am estimating to
some extent of course, but on a pretty
safe basis.
Mr.. c. w. Kelly, who has fine
farm about miles from Devils Lake
has about IS acres of alfalfa, and
he told me last week that he cut
z tons of hay per acre from it this
year. Alfalfa hay is worth twice as
much as any other hind OF hay for
any kind of stock except horses, so
YOU can figure out about what Mr..
Kelly's alfalfa land produced In dol
lars per acre Forty acres or good
alfalfa will make more clear. money
than any section of land sown to
grain usually grown in this state
When you get a crop Of 1t started II
is good for Is years without any FUR
ther expense except harvesting It.
Then after raising it for a number
of years you can plow it up and your
land is richer than It ever was be-
fore.
