POUrTPYNOTES

What are you breeding-lice, mites
or poultry?
Look to the comforts of your stock
if you want good results.
It's more profitable to feed poultry
than it is to feed vermin.
Kaffir corn is considered a stimulat-
ing grain by the pigeon breeders.
Nux vomica is a good stinulant and
appetizer if fed in moderate doses.
Preparations are frequent in yards
that have no shade these hot days
The poultry business is a legal
business, and yet we must have va
tered stock to do business.

body under control, is not worth keep

If any, these hot days; the mites a

is scarce this year, and will be scarcer
after "Johnny-on-the-spot" gets

Indiana needs more sheep. She
STOOD thirteenth In number of sheep
April /, 1910. with 1,227,000 head.
Her next door neighbor, Ohio. stood
fourth. with 100000 head. True,
Ohio has perhaps more rough land
than Indiana, but there is not enough
difference In the soil OF these two
states to account for so great a differ
ence in number OF sheep.
I And it need not be from patriotic
point of view that We should have
more sheep Money can be made from
sleep, and farms need sheep.
The particularly strong feature OF
sheep rearing Is the fact that sheep
will gain more of their livelihood from
rough feed than either hogs or cattle.
hud are the most perfect weed de-
stroyers- eating SIS out of 600 known
varieties of weeds, and can be reared
and sold in one season. The entire
cost is low, returns come quickly, the
wool will pay two-thirds Of the main
tenance cost of the ewes, and If the
stock is well handled the sheep will
rot only free farm from most OF
the weeds, but will also utilize much
OF the feed grown on the farm that
would otherwise be wasted. These
factors are strong ones in favor OF
sheep raising, and there is no qdes
zion but that well-handled flock will
return good profit on all Indiana
farms where the land is sufficiently
rolling or well drained to insure dry
pastures. 1t is true that sheep require
more care in feeding and management
than either hogs or cattle. and fol
this reason person who dislikes
sheep should probably not go toe
heavily in the sheep business. bu
there are plenty of men in the state
who could profitably handle at leas
u small flock.

To Clean Fountain.

The best way to clean drinking
fountains which cannot be reached on
the inside is to use scalding hot wa
ter and big handful of shot. Fill
the fountain about a quarter full OF
hot water and then pour. in the shot.
Shake the vessel brislly so that the
shot will scrape along the bottom and
sides of the fountain. This will re-
move the scum and leave the fountain
sweet and clean.

The best feed for chicks Is va

Desire Meat for Ration.

The observing poultry raiser can
not fail to note how eagerly young
chicks seize any kind of a scrap OF
meat. They will pull and tug and
tumble over each other in their eager
ness to get bit of flesh, either raw
or cooked. This indicates the desire
which nature has given them to sup
ply their wants.

A good retaining pen from which to

DOUGLAS To GREET
CATTLE GROWERS
COchise Association VIII
Hold Its Convention
on August 26.

Douglas. Ariz, Aug. 12.-The glad
hand, open heart and the proverbial
key of the city will be extended the
Cochise County Stock Growers asso-
citation when its membership arrives
here, Monday, August &c, and Will con-
tinue until the first annual meeting
has ended with a ball at the baseball
park Tuesday night. These are the
plans which were formed at a gather
ing of citizens held in the rooms Of
the chamber of commerce
The tentative program includes Sc
curing large hall for the stOckmen,
in which they can hold their meetings
Monday will probably be given over to
business. The evening will be made
lively, however, by a banquet to be
served in the cafe Of the Gadsden hotel.
Tuesday morning will be devoted to
winding up the business Of the assO-
citation. The afternoon will be devoted
to pleasure. There will be horse races
on the track at Sunnyside. The races
will be followed by a ring tournament.
The tournament will be the first of its
kind ever held here, but is always a
big attraction to hOrsemen and lovers
of good sport A ball in the pavilion at

ending to two days of mixed business
and pleasure.

BOUNTY LAW OF
GREAT BENEFIT
The State Appropriation of
100000 Available First
of Sentember.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 12.-That the peo-
pie generally, and especially the sheep
and stock raisers, in the western sec
tiOn of Texas are deeply interested In
the act passed at the regular session
of the 32d legislature providing for
wild animals which becomes effective
on September l. 1912, is evidenced by
the number of inquiries regarding the
measure that are daily being received
by the game, fish and oyster depart
ment here. Chief game warden Jeff
D. Cox says that hardly a day passes
without an inquiry or two being re-
ceived, despite the fact that this de-
partment has nothing whatever to do
with the enforcement of this law
This law carries an appropriation OF
100000 which shall become available
on the first of next month. The pur-
pose of this law is to protect the stock
raiSers, farmers and hOrticulturistS
from such wild animals as the coyote
lobO or other wolf panther. Mexican
lion, tiger, leopard and wildcat, and a
bounty is paid for each of these wild
animals killed The bounty is SIS each
for the above animals, with the ex-
cepdon of the wildcat. for which a
bounty of only 81 is paid.
There are thousands of wild animals
IN the western section of Texas and
the loss to stock raisers through the
depredations of these animals runs con-
siderably over $1.000,00O a year. State
senator Claude Hudspeth, of FL Paso
was one of the strongest advocates Of
TINS measure when 1t came up for con-
sideration in the Legislature, and the
governor would have vetoed the act
had not an agreement been reached
that it would not become effective I'M
til the first of September, 1912.
