Of lifetime, to the man who would
raise beef cattle on his farm, and In
answer to the objection that beef cattle
cannot be raised profitably on high
priced land It is only necessary to say
that 1t is being done and that the care
ful methods necessary under present
conditions net the farmer more profit
than he formerly obtained under the
conditions which surrounded the cheap
beef steer.
AS an avenue for money making for
years to come, the raising Of beef cattle
on the farm will not be excelled by
any other proposition except perhaps
the production of dairy cattle in
favored localities. For the general
farmer throughout the country, the
growing Of beef bred cattle offers a
greater opportunity than any other ap-
parent source of revenue.
Now is the time to buy breeding
stock, and money lies in the puse bred.

FALL POULTRY CARE.
Advice Given by the New Hampshire
Agricultural Experiment Station,

Ob''SN'Nt'@ ~ SNhui okaNlpus
Feeds for laying hens Ii. the fall
should be Of such a nature as to pro-
mote and aid moting and bring the
fowls into a physical condition con
ducive TO early laying. One of the
principal feeds helpful to this end is
oil meal, which tends to loosen the old
feathers, put n gloss on the new ones
aud keep the birds healthy. A good
molting ration will consist of three
pounds Of whole or cracked corn, two
pounds of wheat. one-half pound of
beef scraps, one-half pound OF inseed
meal and one pound of clover or alfal-
IA meal This is sufficient grain for 100
pounds live weight OF fowls per day.
With this should be given in separate
boxes an abundance of grit, oyster
shell, charcoal and clean fresh water.
Mangels may be given to supply a
further amount of succulent food II
necessary.
The birds should be given ample yard
room and compelled to take plenty Of
exercise. Scattering grain in the litter
in the morning, which necessitates the
birds scratching for their meal. will
serve as a valuable aid. The custom
Of giving the birds a wet mash in the
morning has now gone completely out
Of vogue, and with good reason. The
consensus of opinion at the present
time is that the dry mash is much
more desirable. Dry mash fed in hop
pers can be handled more easily and
at less expense than the wet mash
A dry mash that will give good results
is composed of the following:
Wheat brand, two parts by weight: mid
dlings, one part by weight; corn meal
one part by weight; lnseed meal, one
part by weight; alfalfa or clover meal
one part by weight; beef scraps, one part
by weight.
This should be placed In a hopper
and kept before the birds all the time.
Where the dry mash is provided whole
or cracked corn and wheat should be
fed in the litter in the morning and at
noon.
Cleanliness in the poultry house is at
all times important, but especially so
during the fall and winter when the
fowls are unable to obtain free range
The dropping boards should be cleaned
frequently and fresh litter supplied.
A great factor In establishing sanitary
conditions is the application of white
wash.

STORAGE OF CELERY.
Trench Method Is One Way Of Pre-

serving This Vegetable.
There are many ways of storing
celery. Some Of the large growers pack
in the field, use large crates and send
direct to city storage houses. Others
have special storage houses on the
farm in which the crop may be held
until midwinter or even later. Pits
are often used by growers who do not
make speciality of this crop.
One Of the most successful plans Is
to store in trenches. Storage may be-
gin after the middle of October and the
work should be completed before there
is hard freezing weather. In most
sections of the north the crop should
be stored before the 10th or 18th Of
November.
The trenches should be about a foot
wide and deep enough to receive the
plants 30 that the tops will protrude
not more than two or three inches
above the top Of the trench. The plants
are moved to the trenches as promptly
us possible after lifting, stood erect
and placed as close together as the
iO'ts VIII perhllt' oonle pOOse SOL
about the roots in the trench improves
conditions for satisfactory storage.
The tops should be free from dew or
rain when trenched. Boards which
were used in bianchlng the early crop
are nailed together into troughs and
placed over the trenched plants to pro-
tect them from cold and rain. On
warm days stones or blocks should be
placed under the boards TO provide
ventilation. AZ the weather becomes
colder manure, straw or even soil
should be thrown over the boards to
furnish additional protection. The
drainage around the trenches must be
good to prevent loss from decay Of
the stalks.-Nadonal Stockman and
