KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Ono Of Most Important Factors for
Health Of FowIs-Nest 10 Breed
Ing Place for Lice.

Cleanliness Is becoming the watch
word In all lines Of farming and espe.
cially with the poultry and dairy plant.
The poultry-house should be cleaned
and kept clean at all times for the
health Of the fowls and to keep down
lice and other poultry pests. But at
this season OF the year, when the
weather Is growing warmer and all
insect life is beginning to renew activ-
ity. 1t becomes necessary to give spe-
cial care to this matter.
II lice in the poultry-house are al
lowed to breed and increase in num-
bers at this season they will be hard
to put donw and keep down as warm
er weather comes on. Once they get
start they will simply take full
possession by the middle of summer,
much less Of both young and old
stock will result and 1t will be a hard
fight to clean them out. But II they
are put under control early In the
summer they will be easy to keep IN
der control through the warm season.
The nest Is a grea. breeding place
for lice. 1t Is good thing to clean
out all nesting material every week or
two. Either remove 1t from the yard
or burn 1t, and paint the inside Of
the nest with kerosene. II the nest
box can be removed to the open and
lice seem to be harboring in 1t, burn
ing out with kerosene will make quick
work for them.
Keep a barrel OF lime in the poultry
house and sprinkle lime over the
floors and grounds to absorb odors
and to kill parasites and the germs
Of disease. A barrel OF lime costs
about 81 and 1t will save many times
its cost by using 1t around the poultry
house.

DAIRY BUTTER IS PROFITABLE
Lack Of Attention to This Product
Has Resulted In Increased Manu-
facture Of OIeomargarlne.

Farmers have been giving dairy but
ter less and less attention in recent
years and as one result of this oleo-
margarine, as cheap substitute, has
come into use.
1t has been observed during the
months Of phenomenally high prices
that the butter substitutes are -four
ishing to an amazing extent They
are taking place In the worlds COM
merce which ought to be held by
gcod. wholesome farm butter. With
plenty of choice dairy butter, oleomar-
garine would be driven from the ia
Lies Of American families generally.
When creamery product Is selling at
to so cents, the oleo comes quick
ly into common use, becau there Is
ct enough dairy butter to meet the
demands. The substitutes get their
start and hold large and valuable
trade simply because the farmers are
neglecting the opportunity to furnish
sufficient supply of fair to choice
dairy butter. Not all farmers are To-
Gated near enough to creameries so
that they can deliver their milk once
day without unreasonable travel.
Those who are not should keep but
ter diaries, large or small, according
to circumstances, and market their
product once a week
This is in the line of Investigation
and 1t Is a paying proposition. 1t
should not be all dairy. not all poul-
try. nor all hogs. nor all corn. but a
wise mixture SO that the farmer al
ways has something for the ..gh mar
kets. A little pushing along the dairy
line just now is justified both by pres
ent prices and future prospects.
When farmers can get 25 cents or
more for fair quality of butter, as
at present. there IL money in 1t for
them and they can afford to give
that branch of husbandry a great deal
more attention than they do.

Keeping the Pastures Fresh.

Nothing is gained and often much
loss results from overstocking the
pasture or keeping stock in small
pastures until they become stale. II
possible. change the pasture now and
then, or, better still. take the stock
off the pasture entirely for q few
days.
Much loss results in tramping, new
pastures. especially. while they are
being irrigated. Blue grass pasture
will withstand injury better than
clover; but even this is often injured
by the tramping Of livestock, such as
horses and cattle. while the ground Ia
soft.
1t Is better to let the pasture lie
idle for four to five days after irriga-
ton. II possible. for by SO doing the
animals thrive better and the pasture
will last longer.

DEMAND FOR CERTIFIED MILK

The production and sale Of certi.

to more than q small fraction Of the
total milk consumed. 1t is believed
however, that the demand for this
class Of milk will increase, not only
for infants and persons Of delicate
health, but for people who appreciate
good product and want the best.
There is over a score Of cities at
the present time each Of which Is

Wet or Dry FEEDING,

Many poultrymen now grind part OF
their chicken feed into a meal so that
1t can be fed either wet or dry In
the form of mush. 1t has been found
that in forcing chickens for quick
growth or egg producing. feeding
portion of ground feed is great help.
Part OF the work Of digestion has
been accomplished by the artificial
grinding and the hen SO fed can use
the energy thus saved for something
else. That Is the real advantage of
feeding ground grain.
The general consensus of opinion
at the present time is that the dry
mash is more desirable than wet.
Many practical poultrymen. however,
still prefer the wet mash.

BEST PEACHES FOR MARKET
Five Varieties That Can Be Safely
Relied Upon for Succession
Mountain Rose Ranks First.
(By r. @. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. @. WEATHERSTONE)
We consider the following FIVE
varieties of peaches to be the best
that can be safely relied upon for a
succession. They cover the season
from medium early to late. says the
Agriculturist
Mountain Rose.-This peach is too
well known to need an introduction.
1t is one Of the best, If not the very
best of the medium early sorts. I'm
like many of the earlier varieties. 1t
has never rotted with US. We have
found n hardy. productive, of fairly
good size. and. for an early kind. Of
exceedingly good flavor. We have
never found all these qualiti. in any
other early peach 1t ripens in early
August and is fairly good shipper.
The Champion is a worthy success
sor to the Mountain Rose. which is
follows early in ripening. The tree
Is rapid grower and hardy. 1t also
ranks next to the Oldmixon. White.
round as an orange. with a dainty
modest maiden's cheek. and of lus-
cious flavor that is barely surpassed
by the ruby lips Of the aforesaid
maiden. We consider 1t the most beau
tiful of all the varieties yet intro
duced and just as good as 1t looks.
Oldmixon Tree.-We would not
think of setting a peach orchard that
did not include the Oldmixon. We
would not. however. advise a very
heavy planting of 1t. as it has not;
proved with us an extra good ship
ping variety. The fruits are Of good
size, white. with a red cheek and
very luscious. Nothing ever grown
by US has excelled them in flavor. ex-
cept 1t be the Stephens Rareripe. The
trees quickly attain a large size. pro-
duce abundantly and the fruit ripens
about the last week in August.
With the exception of the liberia.
the white varieties have been far the
better producers and much more re-
munerative than the yellow. We have
tried Globe, Willett. Smock. Salway
and several other sorts. but have dis
carded them all except Elberta and
Crawford Late. liberia is unques-
tionably the market peach and Just
now the most remunerative Of all
known varieties.
