FEEDING CORN TO THE HENS
Mistaken Idea That II Is Not Good
for Layers-Aids Fowl to Re-
tain Necessary Animal Heat.

In times past many thought that
corn was not good for laying hens,
but that was long ago. and now the
most successful poultrymen are feed
ing it, especially during cold wealth
er. 1t is remarkably heating, and
helps the fowl TO retain that animal
heat so necessary to life.
The principal danger in feeding 1t
has been its tendency to fatten, but
by careful feeding this has been over
come, and now we find it one of our
staple foods. 1t may also be partially
roasted, and be literally fed without
danger If given at night Fowls
should go to roost for the night with
hunger fully appeased, but should
come off in the morning hungry and
ready for more.
A light feed should be given then
and more generous supply at night.
They should be kept busy scratching
all day, as the hen that works and
sings will lay.
Don't be afraid to feed corn, but be
sure to feed it right; your hens will
lay better and keep healthier when
they have it

The Wire Fence Wind Break.

Many poultrymen make the mistake
of thinking the wire fence is not
adapted for winter use, but the fact
is that 1t is just as valuable during
the coolest days of winter as 1t is in
the summer. OF course, the wind can
sweep through it, but it does not oc-
cur to some that straw, corn stalks,
brush, etc., can be stacked up against
it and make it a fine wind break.
The fowls can rest under its protec-
tion large part of the day and yet
not be cold. When the sun shines on
the stalks or brush the hens enjoy
getting under 1t and resting in the
rays of the sun. The wire fence is
easily removable. but when it can be
used both winter and summer it is
very foolish not to make good use OF
it, even in the coolest weather.

UNUSUAL INTEREST IN HOGS
Visitor to One of Large Western Fairs
Notes Attention Paid to Live
Stock Exhibits.
(By B. E. Lindsay


During a visit to one of the large
western state fairs this fall noted
with much interest the features which
attracted the most attention among
farmers and their wives. The live
stock exhibits were always surrounded
by crowds, but of these more interest
seemed to center in the hogs than
anything else. The hog pens were
always the center of intense interest
and so great were the crowds that at
times 1t was almost impossible to pass
through the aisles. Much of this
interest may be attributed to the fact
the high prices for hogs which have
ruled for the last year or so, make
these animals the biggest money
makers on the farm. One farmer
said to me:
II have always raised hogs, but
never paid much attention to breeds
before. Just raised a good average
animal, fed corn mostly took what
the market offered and let it go at
that, but now, when / see fat pig
bringing from SIS to $40 and even
more / have determined to improve
my breeds. / find it costs no more to
feed hog that will produce $40 than
it does one that sells for SIS. and
therefore | am down here at the fair
ready to invest a few hundred dollars
in good breeding stock"
1t would be interesting to know
whether the sales of high class stock
have been larger this year than usual
but judging from the intense interest
taken by buyers at this particular fail
which was attended by as many as
$4,000 farmers in a single day.
should say that the sales were larger
than they have been for many years.

READ HUCK FINN UNDER BED
Alabama Man Relates Difficulties He
Underwent to Absorb Mark
Twain's Well Known Book.

Crawford T. Ruff Of this city had an
experience while reading lark
Twain's famous "Huckleberry Finn"
which probably was never duplicated
by another admirer of Clements.
1T must have been more than thirty
years ago." said Mr.. Ruff. in relating
the story to party of friends, accord
ing to the Montgomery Advertiser,
when 1 was a small shaver. Only a
limited number of copies of the book
appeared with the first edition Only
one book came to the little town
where / lived, but 1t sufficed for the
entire populace. The book went the
rounds, from neighbor to neighbor. and
finally landed in our home. l was so
absorbed in the first chapter that l
wanted to finish it all before any one
else in the family started on 1t.

HAULING Out Manure.

Probably there is no better way to
handle manure than to draw it to
the field as soon as possible after it
is made. A good plan is to have a
wagon expressly for that purpose and
let it stand where the manure can be
easily thrown on or else wheeled on
with the wheelbarrow, and as soon
as a load accumulates draw 1t out.
A good way to use part of 1t in
winter is to spread 1t on the grass
land.

Packing and Shipping TURKEYS.

Turkeys are packed sometimes in
barrels and sometimes in boxes, but
the better grades usually go forward
in boxes. Very little, If any. packing
is used. The box is lined with paper
and the turkeys packed solidly in it
with the heads bent under at one side
and breasts up. The boxes are packed
so tightly that when the cover is on
there is no room for the contents to
shift during their journey to market.
Occasionally straw is used for pack
Ing, but this sometimes leaves I'M
slightly lines or marks in the skin OF
the carcasses which injure their sale.
Only one grade should be shipped in
the same box. for If several grades
are included the entire consignment
is likely to be sold at the price of the
lowest grade.
