HOW TO GET WINTER EGGS.

btS" " SE "liN EN6O'
 How to get the flock of hens to lay during the winter months is one of the most important problems the poultry man has on his hands, for it is then that his eggs fetch the highest price, Professor Rice of Cornell university, who has made a special study of the care and feeding of poultry, recon mends the following method: Keep hOppers before the flock all the time, one containing grit another crushed oyster shells, another ground beef scraps and another a mixture of equal parts by weight of cornmeal, wheat bran middlings and beef scraps The scraps should be of the best quality, and fresh water should be kept before the hens ell the time on the opposite side of the house from the feed hop pers, so as to give the fowls exercise. An hour before dark a ration of whole grain - wheat, corn, oats, barley or bucIwheat-should he scattered in the litter for the hens to scratch out Pro- lessor Rice advises against hot mash for breakfast, a practice followed by many, on account of it's causing the hens to be inactive for several hours. He ,cotncides with the practice of many in recommending green fOOd-alfalfa, clover or turnips-Guring the winter months,

There is no fruit tree that will stand or should receive more heavy pruning than the peach. The pruning done the first spring following the setting of the trees should include the taking out of all limbs except four or five, which should be left to form the frame of the young tree, and these should be cut back to about eighteen. inches. As the tree gets older the top should be kept we'll thinned and the new growth cut back to give sufficient sturdiness to the branches To properly ripen, peaches should be exposed to the sunshine, and this means that the tree should be giv- en an open top.

BEST WAY TO FEED CORN.

Since corn is the chief article of diet in those states where hog raising is carried on extensively the question of the feeding of 1t 1n the most ecOnom- ical form is a live one for every feeder. Realizing this fact and with a view to securing data that would be of practi- cal value for the feeder, the directors of the Iowa experiment station at Ames have been conducting exhaustive feeding experiments for the past three years with a view to finding out in what form corn should be fed to give the largest as well as the most eco nomical gains. A bulletin recently published by the station gives the re- suits of these feeding investigations. A gist of the findings should be of practical aid to every hog raiser who uses corn as epart of the feeding ra- tiOn. Six forms of corn were used-dry ear corn, soaked shell corn, dry corn meal, soaked cornmeal, dry corn and cob meal and soaked corn and cob meal. It was found that shelling cost 1 cent per bushel, smelling and grind ing cents and grinding corn and cob meal 6 cents.
 In the tests made in 1907 100 pounds of dry ear corn made as much pork as 112 pounds of shelled corn soaked twenty-four hours or 122 pounds of cornmeal soaked twelve hours. In the 1908 tests shelled corn soaked twelve hours gave slightly the fastest gains. It was found that, whether dry or soaked, a bushel of corn ground with out the cob made more pork than a bushel of corn ground with the cob, while a bushel of ear corn made as much gain as one and one-third bush els ground into corn and cob meal at a cost of cents per bushel. Other in- teresting features of the experiments might be given, but the practical les son of the tests, according to the eX- perimenteFs, is summarized in the statement that up to POO pounds in weight the fastest as well as the most economical gains may be secured by feeding dry ear corn, while for hogs above this weight the best results are had with shelled corn soaked twelve hours. These results will be gratifying to the average feeder, for the method of feeding which gives best results is that in which there is a minimum out lay of time and expense in the prepar- ing and feeding of the ration.

THE HOME SUPPLY OF ICE.

Much may be added to the keeping quality as well as to the enjoyment of th2 food supplies for the home if a supply of ice is available during the warmer months of the year. In cities and towns of any size the consumer has his wants in this line met by put ting up the lice" card. With country dwellers the matter is not so simple. For those who wish to lay by supply of ice for next summer a few SuggeS- tiOns may be helpful. An Outbuilding of about the size required for the nec- essary supply may be utilized. This should be so situated that there will be good drainage from a point below the lowest tier of cakes. A space of foot or fourteen inches should be left between the body of ice and the walls of the inclOSure. The cakes should be packed in regular fashion for economy of room, with enough space between them so as to give free drainage to the bottom. The sawdust or other Ela- terial used in packing should be pour ed in between the ice and the walls as the pile increases in height, but should not be packed down. When the last tier of ice has been laid a ten inch layer of the packing material should be placed over the whole body of ice. The air chamber above the ice should be kept well ventilated during warm weather. A supply of ice is often kept by cruder methods than those above outlined, but not with so satisfactory

We saw a lantern the other day be longing to a pretty bright fellow that one would say was a relic of the dark ages-wick small, draft poor, chimney smoky and the whole outfit calculated to induce dubious thoughts relative to the gumption and snap of the fellow who owned it. With lanterns and lu- minants as cheap as they are today, there is mighty little excuse for this type of mediaevalism.

It is quite unjust and decidedly to the disadvantage of the careful poultry man that greater difference is not made on the smaller market between egas that are strictly fresh. those that are in fair condition and others that are dirty, added or spoiled. Where the poultryman has built up a private trade this handicap is avoided, and he receives a substantial reward for the pains he takes in seeing that his eggs are fresh and clean. Were like dis cretion exercised by the store buyer of eggs a very beneficial influence would be exerted generally on the egg business of the country.

The first denatured alcohol plant to Be built west of the Mississippi river i3 located at Marshalltown, Ia., and starts up Feb. 1. The outfit consists of seven buildings and will cost com pleted $14O,OOO Operating day and night, it will have a capacity of 5000 gallons of alcohol, which will consume 3,200 bushels of corn daily. The out put will be pure grain or ethyl alcohol, and the dcr2tu"iHg agent, which must be mixed with it to make it unfit for drinking purposes, will be added as required. A force of twenty men, in- cluding four government inspectors, will operate the plant. One of the chief points in favor of plants of this character is that grain that is partly spoiled for use as food may be used in the manufacture of the product. Plants properly equipped can also util~ ize frosted potatoes, fruit, etc.-in fact. any product which has starchy con tent.

In the oleo-butter controversy which is on and likely to be brought up for consideration in congress at the pres ent session justice would seem to de- mand that oleo be made to stand on its own feet and not be allowed to mas querade in any guise for creamery or dairy butter. Were human nature diff fnrent oleo might even be allowed to be cOlored without working injustice if it were always sold for oleo, but once let it be coIored and some grafter will palm it off on unsuspecting GUS toners as butter and get butter prices for it.

A whole lot of farmers sled along on bare ground, figuratively, year after year as a result of not keeping such track of their operations as will enable them to know just where the leaks are. The loss may be in the grain raised and sold, it may be ill the dairy, it may to some extent lie with shiftless and careless hired men, or it may be in part traceable to a careless handling of the farm made fertilizers; but, whatever the sources of loss in the management of the farm, a set of books, not necessarily elaborate, would be of great assistance in placing re- sponsibility for the trouble.

A friend who buys much fur-chiefy mink, skunk and rat-states that the trapper loses much by taking mink be- fore Dec. l, when they are in what is called "unprime" condition. Such pelts do not fetch within $2 to $3 apiece what they would if they were classed prime. The only thing that would pre- vent a carrying out of this sensible suggestion would be that the average trapper would rather get $3 for an un- prime skin than have his neighbor take it later when prime and get $5 or $6 for it. A law prohibiting trapping be fore the date mentioned would remedy this difficulty, however.

The old time idea in the raising of hogs was to keep them confined in close quarters and stuff them with corn and small grain and sour swill. This idea, fortunately for the pigs, is giving way to a new and better meth cd, including wider range, with a rape, clover or alfalfa pasture during the summer months, abundance of fresh water and such tonics as are needed to keep the system in the best condition. The adoption of the new method of care has not only meant health and comfort for the hogs, but increased profits for the owner.

The doors and windows should be shut tight, and the operator should vamoose as soon as the fumes begin to rise. To make the job effective this process may be re peated until a pound of sulphur has been burned.
