yields.

Charcoal for Little Chicks

The greatest problem with chicks in

other faults are remedied For little
chicks which need it at once, it should

some people seem TO think 1t has
been clearly demonstrated that farm
ing is not made simpler by reason OF
irrigation. On the contrary ii has
often been made more complicated.
The idea that all one has to do to
grow crops in the arid and >em-arid
districts is to apply as much water as
can possibly be obtained is an eyre
gious error Water can never take
the place OF cultivation and fertiliza-

necessary for plant growth there are
other essentials that play as import

must breath and plants must eat and
plants must have sanitary inviron

that oxygen Is necessary To the life OF
plant rootlets since the cells OF newly
formed roots are filled with living

CHICKENS FOR PROFIT.
In Selection be Governed by Market
Cockerel is Important.

In making the selection OF breed
one must be governed somewhat by
the market Birds that sell best on
the block should be medium in size,
plump condition. with yellow skin and
legs. Most all our American breeds
have these requirements, and by care
ful selection at breeding time one can
build up a profitable laying strain from
this class of birds. such as the Ply
mouth Rocks or Wyandottes
The common practice OF breeding
from the flock as whole has done
more harm than anything else in max
ing the tlock Improbable as egg pro
ducers Breeding from birds that
produces but one or two clutches
OF eggs during the year will produce
birds of like nature, and breeding a
sire that has not the laying quality
and characteristics bred in him can
not but help to make the situation
worse
The success with egg production
must begin with breeding When you
have hen that will lay large mum
Der OF eggs each month during the
winter, breed from her. The trait OF
superior egg production Is habit
that may be acquired and transmitted
\ hen whose ancestors were poor lay

ling Will. mash or feed will induce her
To produce an unusual number OF eggs
because the trait OF superior egg pro
duction was not acquired by her an
ccstry and could not. therefore, be
transmitted To her.
The selection of the male to head
the flock should not be neglected He
should have been bred from produc
tive ancestry The male is half the
flock. and if his dam and grand dam
were good producers. he should be
worth much more as a sire than those
whose dam produced only limited
number OF eggs.
He should have good constitution
showing short beak, broad head and
bright eye. neck short and stout.
breast OF good width carried well for
ward and OF fair depth The mating
OF such sire to.a flock OF hens bred
from laying ancestors cannot but help
To give good results with proper feed
ing and housing.
The breeding pen should be yarded
separately from the whole flock. sc

each year, One male with ten or
twelve females will give best results
and eggs will be OF stronger vitality

DAIRY NOTES.
Many Things Required to Make
Dairying Pay.


over-churned butter OF milk
Overlooking the calf is just as dan
gerous practice as undertaking.
Excitement and confusion are not
conducive to the best milk produc
ton.
Raising the heifer calves is one OF
the dairy farmers most important
tasks.
The milk scale and the Babcock
test must have a place in every sue
cessful dairy.
The silo is the best policy to pro
tect the dairy farmer against scare
ity OF feed
A money-making combination is
the COW and the SOW. Give the lat
ter warm skinned milk.
The only way to absolutely know a
COW. is to weigh and test the milk
thoroughly the entire year.
Off havors in milk. cream and but
ter are usually due to some mistake
in handling the raw product
In the feeding OF calves there is
splendid opportunity for man to
exercise patience and kindness.
Wheat bran is good dairy feed,
and generally speaking it is good
supplement to other grain feeds
To the dairyman who would con
duct his work on business basis
the Babcock test is indispensable.
1t requires grain as well as rough
ness to produce butter fat. and butter
lat at present prices is what pays.
The best time to salt butter is be-
lore it is taken from the churn. and
just AS it is gathered in granules.
Dairying has crowded out sheep
raising in Australia. The Australian
butter is in good demand in Europe.
We may look at the silage ques
ton from any angle. we are forced to
accept it as the cheapest food known
for stock
The COW must have pasture or its
equivalent This accounts for the
many soils and the great popularity OF
,oiling crops.
Very many unruly cows would lose
this unhappy trait ii they were well
supplied with what their instinct and
appetite craved.
One thing should be kept in mind
by dairymcn is that clean pure milk
cannot be produced on a dirty, i'll
kept dairy farm.
The pedigree is not voucher as
to the excellence OF the animal but
simply makes il possible to trace that
1nimars ancestry.
1t is self-robbery to take dairy
COW through the winter when she
gives milk only five or six months out
OF the whole year
Many of the catastrophes that are
perpetrated by the herd bull are not
accidents. but rather the result of per
sistent carclcssness.
II the cows pedigree TALES with
the milk pail, then it is consistent,
and good foundation or poor one
as the case may be.
Better feed the cows little more
than she will consume each time to
make sure you are operating your
factory to full capacity.
Selection is absolutely necessary in
order to feed and build up a good
dairy herd. One must Gull closely
here as well as in other lines OF work
One cannot Judge the size OF the
feed for the calf by the vigor of its
appetite If this is to be the measure
the calf is apt to be dangerously over
fed
The dairy cows must be kept com
Portable il the best results are to be
obtained High priced feeds are very
expensive fuel to maintain animal
heat.
Many OF the details in butter max
ing can only be looked after by ex
pericncc. Much of it must be learned
by doing the work No one can begin
where the other fellow left off.
