CHARCOAL FED

Experiments in Ireland Indicate That Burnt Wood in Some Form Is Important in
 Eatten3n2 Poultry.

In a recent issue of the Journal oi Agriculture for Ireland was given an account of experiments conducted for the purpose of deciding the exact value of charcoal as a means of keep ing birds that are closely confined fl good health during the period of fat tening. Eighteen large, healthy Ayles
 bury ducklings were selected from g large flock, and divided into three pens, each pen containing 6 duck lings. The ducklings were fed upor foods which previous experiment had shown to be profitable and economl ical. namely, boiled potatoes. barley meal. ground oats, skim milk and tai
 low greaVes. The method of prepar' ing the food was to boil, strain and pound up the potatoes, which before boiling would constitute about one third by weight of the mash. Barley meal and ground oats were then in equal parts mixed with the potatoes. Skim milk was added to form rather wet mash. This was fed to the duck ungs from the end of the fifth to the beginning of the ninth week. During the last two weeks of fattening, ami nal food in the form of rough fat or tallow cracklings was added to the mash. the allowance being about two ounces per day to each duck. Grit and water for drinking were liberally sup piled Apart from the charcoal. the

SCIENCE IN KEEPING EGGS
By New Process Shells Are First DisIn- fected and Then Immersed In
 Paraff7n Wax Vacuum.

Science seems to be making an ac- tive inroad on prejudice and ignorance and even the man who has been fight ing book farming is willing to con fess that great strides have been made along certain lines that have been beneficial to his own interests. The latest we have had up to the present in the preservation of eggs and the prolonging of their edible qualities has been by the water glass system, which is quite generally known. Now comes a scientist who claim method that will even up the egg business at wonderful rate. The shells by the new process are first disinfected and then immersed in a vessel of parafhn wax in a vacuum. The air in the shell is extracted by the vacuum, and atmo spheric pressure is then allowed to enter the vessel, when the hot wax is forced into the pores" of the shell which thus dramatically seals 1t Evaporation of the contents of the egg. which has a harmful effect, is thereby prevented. and the egg is practically sterile. - Register and Farmer.

VALUE OF STRAW FOR FEED
Cattle Are Apparently More Fond of It When Fed With Ensllage
 Than Either Grain or Hay.
cBy W. M. KELLEYO


 On many farms the straw is consio cred of little practical value outside affording bedding and litter for tn stock, but during the past few year
 pinion seems to be more favorable toward straw as a feed for horse -heep and cattle. To a large exten his has been brought about by th' .se of the silo in preserving the corr chop and also by the shortage of ha. turing the same period
 With the silo to provide the animal with plenty of succulent food we hay been enabled to feed our cattle all o ihe oat straw to a very profitable aG vantage when otherwise they woul, refuse to eat 1t up clean. The animal: are apparently more fond of straw when fed with ensilage than either grain or hay.
 Sheep are also fond of good brigh straw and will eat quite large quanti ties in connection with ensilage and hay. The great trouble with greai many feeders Is that they will feed out every kind of forage and fodder crops before they feed the animals straw and then complain if they fall away in condition when put on straw alone.
 Properly handled and fed in connec- tion with other feeds have been able to derive considerable feeding value out of straw, but do not claim that it will do wonders toward keeping stock in high condition.
 There are times on all farms where a large number of animals are kept when it will prove profitable to feed out everything to the best advantage with as little waste as possible, even though we do not make the greatest gains possible. The most successful farmer is in most cases the one who utilizes the odds and ends of his feed to the best advantage.
 Another mistake that is made in feeding straw is to expect the animals to consume all that is placed in front of them. Don't expect them to do this for an animal will go without feed be- fore it will eat straw that is tough and woody. The waste will do for bedding and to work into manure. I consider that I am doing well If I can get the stock to consume half of the straw when fed in connection with hay and ensilage.
 For horses that are not being work ed straw will take the place of hay and if fed liberal ration of grain and an occasional handful of oil meal there will be no loss of condition Oat straw is the best for feeding horses as wheat straw is coarse and woody and very hard to digest.
