POULTRY NOTES.

Sweet skim milk Is excellent in fin
ishing off broilers.
Plan to save the butchering refuse
and feed it to the hens.
Stale bread crumbs make a very
good addition to the morning mash.
Expensive poultry buildings are
unnecessary.
Rock salt is dangerous in the poul-
try yard.
Nice warm bran wash is a good
thing to serve on the bill of fare for
the old hen.
Game fowls command higher prices
than any of the old breeds, but eggs,
though small, are we'll favored.
For laying hens it is better to have
the corn cracked rather than to feed
1t whole.
Some poultry authorities put the av-
erage production of the farm hen at
"a eggs year.
Let the eggs from your valuable, re-
liable breeders be surely fresh and
fertile.
If you wish to force egg production
try feeding fresh cut bones and newly
sprouted grains.
It has taken the successful duck
growers many years to master the
art of growing ducks by the whole
sale.
A frequent cause Of male birds get
ting their wattles frozen comes from
first getting them wet in the drinking
water.
The guinea, II thoroughly known,
should bring good price on the
market, especially during the game
season.
Not all fertile eggs will hatch, but
we could certainly increase the per
centage by greater care in the selec-
ton and maintenance Of the stock
| birds.
The food that is proper for the
manufacture of eggs will be equally
suitable for the growth of feathers
SO that an egg food will make the
ideal molting food.

HARD EXPERIENCE OF MANY
Amateurs Expect Too Much of Their
Flocks and Fanciers Misrepresent
Their Stock.
(By @. H. RosEBURG1


A man who has gone into the poul-
try business in the right way recently
received a jolt that surprised him. He
paid a good price for eggs guaranteed
to be from hens that had scored 100
points and when his first flock Of birds
were about a year old he had them
scored by a local judge. He was de-
lighted when several of his best pull
lets and cockerels scored 100 and the
rest ran up above 95. He was sure he
sent champion prize winners until he
sent about q dozen of his best ones to
the Chicago Poultry show. Then
came the jolt.
His birds were judged by men who
know their business and play no favor
ties and the result showed none Of his
stock to be better than 80, while more
than half of the flock ran down below
IS. OF course his birds are pretty
good at that but not good enough to
bring fancy prices, while the eggs will
bring lite If anything above store
prices.
This mans experience is too often
repeated. The whole trouble lies in
amateurs expecting too much of their
flock, unscrupulous fanciers misrepre-
senting their stock and local judges
being incompetent or too anxious to
please.

KEEPING SWINE ON ALFALFA
Change From One to Other to
Insure Success.

In answer to the question, How
many hogs may be successfully kept
on one acre of alfalfa?" That would
depend on the character of the land,
the advantages of irrigation, etc. To
raise hogs On alfalfa with no other
feed would not be profitable, writes
Elias Gallup in the California Cultiva-
tor. Small pigs require grain, milk
or some other feed Hogs at six
months old in good thrifty condition,
will continue to grow on alfalfa alone,
but to be thrifty and profitable, they
should have grain or some other food.
Brood sows and sucking pigs fed on
slop and skim milk and middlings
with alfalfa pasture make rapid
growth for their pigs. To raise hogs
successfully on alfalfa we should
have our fields divided so as to change
from one field to another.
To secure the best results with al
falfa, we should not allow the hogs to
root, nor feed too close To insure
good health to hogs, fresh pasture is
very essential. Never allow hogs to
have mud holes, stagnant water or
filthy quarters. A good wallow in
clean water is good for the hog, but
they should not be allowed to wallow
in old filthy places. 1 have been rails
ing and selling pure bred hogs for
breeding purposes for 28 years, and
would not know how to get along
without the alfalfa ma SfIrre
To raise hogs requires study, care
and education, but to answer the
question, how many could be raised
on one acre, would depend on the
education of the owner and the care
he gave them.

Probably Got Off.

Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey at a dinner in Washington,
told a story about young sailor.
The sailor, after a long voyage"
he said went ashore in the tropics,
and, it being hot day, he drank, in
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along a palm-bordered ave-
nue., his captain hailed him indig-
nantly.
look here, the captain said, sup
pose you were my commander, and
you met me in such condition as
you're In now, what would you do to
me?'
