POULTRY NOTES.

Be sure there are no bad drafts in
the henhouse.
Leaky roofs should be repaired be-
fore fall work begins.
Give the hen the proper material
and she will lay all right.
Some form of dry animal food is a
satisfactory food for egg production.
Though fowls are primarily grain
eaters, they desire meat food in some
form.
Turkeys are insect hunters. ducks
are grazers, and chickens are grain
eaters.
Learn to handle from so to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more.
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
that can be used.
1t is the little details that make the
difference between success and failure
in poultry raising.
The presence Of a cockerel with
hens has little effect upon the number
and quality of eggs.
Oil meal is high in protein content
and is most valuable in the fall when
Noting Is in process.
If given whole grain, for which they
must scratch among the straw, hens
get necessary exercise.
1t may be truthfully said that, under
the same conditions, eggs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do som ething toward bal
ancing their own rations, and they
will take more or less exercise If they
have the chance.
Thousands of farmers market their
milk and cream daily; and an appeal
is made to them to market the eggs
produced daily also.
The quality which Is most desirable
in milk and cream for immediate con-
sumption Is sweetness. In eggs, the
corresponding quality is freshness.
Keep fresh water grit. oyster shell
and charcoal before the chicks all the
time, cut grass II they are shut In a
small run, dry wheat bran and finely
ground beef scraps.

Nutrients In Foods.

Protein, starch, fat, sugar and fiber
are the nutrients that make up foods.
Protein Is the only one from which
muscle and tissue can be made-the
others serve to produce heat. energy
and fat. Starch and sugar are equal
in food value. The fiber in the plant
cut green has the same food value as
starch; when the plant is mature the
fiber becomes largely indigestible, as
In straw. Fat serves the same pur-
pose in the animal body as starch; 1t
is more concentrated. having "a
times as much nutrimen. in given

will find their way into the next

and gasoline and oil to operate the
power outfit. This expense Is insig-
nificant when compared to the saving
of fruit effected.
In some cases the net cash profit
secured by spraying has been $65 per
aero. In a 20-acre orchard spraying
would add on an average $1,000 clear
gain in single season.
Tho first spraying with Bordeaux
mixture should take place just be-
tween the time the calyx cup opens
and the dropping of the petals and Its

This is only about week, and
therefore the trees must be closely
watched and the spraying done at ex-
actly the right time. Pears. which
also suffer from this moth. keep their
calyxes open much longer, and some
varieties do not close at all.

sprayed again; this time with arsenate

Horse knowledge.

An old horseman remarked recent.
iy: "If man wants to learn about
horses he must learn from horses" A
man to be successful must be with
horses and be close observer of their
moods, manners and makeup. A colt
should be trained from the first mo-
ment he is helped to his feet. If
taught to yield early to mans re-
straint and guidance he will never
need breaking" To follow his mas
ter's wishes will be second nature.
Never speed colt too young. and
when he is given speed permit it for
short spurts only as he can bear 1t.

Doubtless you have observed that
tho apples on some Of your trees were
dropping of, and at the towering end
there were little patches of brown
dust.
The dropping of the apples was
caused by the codling-moth, and the
patches of brown dust were the void
ings OF the worm as 1t bored Its way
into the fruit.
The cooling moth spends the winter
as tiny worm, securely wrapped up
in an overcoat of silk. in barrels, boxes
and under the bark of trees. and in
the warm days Of spring they come
out transformed as moths. These
moths mate quickly and the females
at once begin to lay their eggs on the
smooth surface of the apple trees.
They never make mistake as to
the location of their eggs. but always
lay them upon those leaves nearest to
the fruit. The eggs are about as big
AS pinhead; look like little specks
Of milk. Sometimes they are SO tiny
that they can hardly be discovered.
After three or four days they turn
reddish. and at the end OF week the
tiny black head of a worm appears.
The eggs hatch in about seven days
generally when the apples are about
one-half inch in diameter.
AS soon as the worm comes from
the egg 1t launches lightly OF the
leaves and then enters the apple. The
worms first Matched generally enter
the fruit at the calyx or Towering end.
The worms bore their way into the
apples until they reach the seed. and
sometimes they destroy almost the en-
tire core.
In about two weeks. after having
effectually damaged the apple. they
crawl out, wrap themselves in new
overcuats. where they are transformed
as papae. Two weeks later the little
moths emerge and lay their eggs,
which in turn hatch out another set
OF worms ana thus the second genera
ton is born.

fruit growers of this country lose
about twelve million dollars every
