CONDITION OF
LAYING HENS
Little Surplus Fat Indica tes That
Her Bodily Wants Have
Been Well Taken
Care of.

A hen in the best laying condition
has some surplus fat on her body.
This means that her bodily wants have
been supplied and that there Is some
food to spare. A very fat hen seldom
lays well; poor hen cannot lay well.
The first part of the egg which is
made is the yolk, which contains 30
uer cent albumen and "a per cent fat.
New growth and egg production only
come from the surplus food not need
ed to keep up the body. Corn is an ex-
cellent grain, but is SO relished by the
fowls that they are liable to overeat.
Wheat. with its by-products, Is the
most useful grain to the poultryman.
Hens are naturally worm and insect
hunters, and they must have meat in
some form in order to do their best.
Fresh meat is the best form, and hens
prefer 1t cooked. Gren cut bone is ex-
cellent. The handiest forms are the
commercial scraps and beef meal.

source OF animal protein and should be

THOROUGH HoElNG OF SOILS
Cultivation Throughout Season In
ereases Materially Yield Of Grain
and Water Required.

Another mastery and convincing
argument for thorough cultivation
Of the soil has been published by Prof.
]. A. Widtsoe OF the Utah experiment
station
In long series of experiments, in
diligently made, Professor Widtsoe
found that thorough hoeing or culti-
walton throughout the season increased
materially the yield of grain. and in
creased the amount of water required
per pound of dry matter produced,
and that In infertile soils the water
requirements of crops could be ma
terially lowered by the addition OF
manure or commercial fertilizers.
He believes that in every case the
result is to be attributed largely to
the plant food set free by the hoeing
or following. OF that added In the fer
tilizers. There are many farmers who
are not in a position to irrigate their
land at once, but there are few who
cannot cultivate their soil a little bet
ter than they have been doing. No
doubt there are localities where irriga-
ton is not feasible. and then again
there are thousands of tenant farmers
or men of limited means who cannot
take advantage of the principle OF ir-
rigation. 1t is fortunate that nearly
all such farmers are at least able to
till and fertilize their land.
The practical conclusion Is. that in
districts where the rainfall is the chief
consideration, 1t Is not sufficient to
store an abundance of water in the
soil, but the soils themselves must
be kept in such a condition that plants
growing on them can produce dry mat
ter with the smallest possible amount
Of water Under system OF dry

perhaps grown every year. in alterna-
ton with wheat. fairly large amount
of available plant food will be main.
tanned. but at the same time the
amount of stored moisture will be SO
near the danger limit as to jeopardize
seriously the maturing crop. On the
other hand, where the soil after being
fall plowed and left in the rough
throughout the winter is allowed to lie
fallow the following summer a much
larger amount Of plant food is set free
and at the same time larger amount
Of water Is stored In the soil.

Slop and SWill.

There is wide difference between
slop and swill. Stop is properly a
hogs relish, while swill Is too fire.
guently nothing more than water pol
luted with unhealthy refuse. The
term swill may embrace a wide va
riety of feed or drink. ranging from
ordinary dish water to a mixture of
milk, table scraps, soapsuds and 9th
er kitchen refuse, while slop Is COM
bination of ground feed or feeds
with water or milk. A supply of
wholesome swill in connection with
other feeds, may be extremely valu-
able. but in condition of decay, ran
cid, and mainly eth 1t may result in
a loss of high-priced animals. Stop.
however. may be considered as al
ways in order.

No part of the dairy work is more
important than the cleaning Of milk
utensils.
Do not think that because the hens
have free range no grit need be sup

so that further and more rigid selec-
ton may be made next spring.

plentiful supply of pure. fresh water
will fail to induce the hens to lay.

YOU to look into the subject Of silos
pretty carefully
Every one who has ever had expert
ence with poultry knows that clean
illness is absolutely imperative If the
flock is to prove profitable.
The mixer should be clean. Before
milking and before putting on his

with warm water, soap and nail
brush.
Milk pals should be OF smooth
metal like heavy tim galvanized iron
or any rough metal should not be
used. as germs collect much more
