Do not neglect the laying hens
exercise.
Judge not hen by her beauty, but
by the way she does her duty.
You may feed all the food your
hens can possibly use, but if you are
short of grit, the results will not be
satisfactory.
It is not good for hens to dust in
coal or wood ashes only, some folks
claim, but we find that a few ashes
lightens up the dirt.
Noon is good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots Of any kind. The
latter can be cut in half, and the hens
will then pick them to pieces.
Have the floors of the houses well
bedded with some light litter, so that
the biddies will be induced to scratch,
and thus warm up their bodies these
cold, frosty mornings.
Drafts in the chickens home are
more dangerous when the fowls are
quiet on the roost than when they are
stirring around during the day; but a
cold air current sweeping through the
house is a bad thing at any time.
As the cold winds come in the fall,
it is noticed that the flocks do not
take so wide a range as they did in
milder weather, but instead, congre-

"At a given signal the battle
started. The charges of dynamite
were exploded at intervals of few
seconds apart. After few hundred
explosions the rain began falling and
kept up steadily for more than twenty
four hours"
The crops were in an exceptionally
poor condition because of the pro-
tracted drought, according to Mr.
Post. The benefit reaped through
the simple experiment was almost in
calculable, and he says the total ex-
pense was not more than $1,000.

WATERING THE MILK cows
A. G. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University of Missouri.

The cow should not be compelled
to drink ice-cold water during the
winter. There are several good rea,
sons why this is bad practice.
In the first place, the cow that is
producing a large amount Of milk
must drink large amount of water
or decrease in milk flow. II there is
nothing but ice water available, the
COW will take only a few sips and
Will not drink deeply, as she should.
In this way her milk flow will be do,
creased.
If cow does happen to drink a
large amount of ice water from the
trough, she will be completely chilled
through for an hour or more, and
sometimes for half a day. The cold
water stops the digestive processes
and may cause trouble in that way.
AT any rate, it stops the milk produc.
Ing processes for some time, and puts
the nervous system of the COW in Door
condition.
Water that is used in the body must
be heated to the body temperature
In some way. II the cow drinks It
cold, the food that she has eaten
must supply the fuel to heat it up. II
1t Is heated before she drinks it to
a mild temperature which will not
give her a chill, few blocks of
wood or shovelful of coal will do
the work. Actual experiments have
shown that 1t is much cheaper to heat
the water outside than to make tho
COW heat 1t with the food she eats.
A small water heater for the tank
Is not expensive. and 1t is scarcely
any trouble to operate. It will pay
big returns.

KEEP MANURE HAULEDOUT
Do Not Let Great Pile Accumulate
to Lose lts Value.

Outside of the feeding of thu stock,
no one thing is of greater importance
In improving the farm than the haul
ing out of the manure from the barns,
Tests have shown that It pays in dol
lars to haul the manure from tho
barn to the field regularly instead Of
letting great pile accumulate to
lose its value under the sun and
rain.
In Germany and other European
countries they have learned much
more about soil management than we
have in this country. Prof. M. F.
Miller Of the University of Missouri,
who has been in Germany for a year,
says that they haul out the manure
and pillow 1t under shallow, and then
later come along and pillow it under
deeply. They have cheaper labor
there and can afford to do this. We
could scarcely afford to practice that
method in Missouri. However, many
average farmers do not even try to
get the manure hauled out at all.
One Of the great values Of the
manure spreader. according, to Pro.
lessor Miller. IL that 1t reminds the
farmer that the manure should be
hauled out, and keeps him interested
In It. Besides that, however, the ma
nure spreader soon pays for itself in
greater results from the manuring
than would be gotten from spreading
with q fork.
