Measure Reasonably Sure Of Passage

One Of the three bills pending in

Is reasonably sure OF passage, be-
cause public sentiment, in the first
place, is against the destruction of
birds, and, secondly, because there is
an important economic reason for the
enactment Of strong laws in this d.

destroyed by insects. Away back as
far as 1904 it was found that the dam

is a direct loss to the nation, and one

CARING FOR FARM DRAFTERs
Farmers should Keep Horses In
Proper Condition In Winter by
Keeping Them at Work.
Az wILLIAM 4. FREnHoFFl


Most farmers do not get full use Of
their horses through failure to pro-
vide work for them during the winter
months. There is generally not much
doSg on the farm then, except per
haps hauling Of little produce to
town, dragging in the logs for fire.
wood and scattering manure on the
snowy fields.
Altogether they are kept idle for
SO many days that the average num-
Der Of hours worked per day for a
year is even less than two, counting
those days in summer when overtime
is the rule for man and beast.
This condition is Improbable from
an economic point of view and from
the standpoint Of the horses health.
Heavy drafters in good flesh and
fed literally on oats and timothy will
need exercise and plenty of it to keep
in fair health during the winter. They
will need warm stables properly ven
tilated; there must be no cement or
other damp floors for them to lie on;
there must be plenty Of air and sum
shine.
One winter we fed scarcely any
thing but straw and just little grain
and the horses came through In bet
ter shape than those Of neighbor
who fed literally, but who did not
have any more work for his horses
than we had. There was not so much
rich stuff to poison the blood.
/ know Of a farmer who regularly
hires a teamster to take his magnifi-
cent drafters out into the employ Of
the local ice company and SO keeps
them busy during the winter. AN
other engages his two teams in the
cordwood business for the same pur.
pose.
Neither of these men make very
much money through the deal, but
they force their horses to pay for
their winter board and to come
through in splendid shape for the
heavy grind.

FOWLS NEED SOME EXERCISE
When Confined Too Closely Birds
Are Constantly Trying to Secure
Liberty, Making Poor Returns.

If fowls are too closely confined,
they will constantly be striving to get
at liberty they will try to fly over
the highest fences, and in every way
show how we'll they love the range
of field and pasture. Such uneasiness
and anxiety to get out initiate against
their good health, and a hen that is
not in good health will not lay eggs,
says the New York Farmer. They
should, therefore, have all the space
that may be allowed them, and this
may not be furnished at all, then how
much more important it is that one
does not keep too many fowls con,
fined within the limit Of the poultry
house exclusively.
However well the poultryman may
feed and tend them, when thus re
stricted, If there be an excess of num-
bers crowded together, the hens WIN
cease to lay, they will get i'll, they
will lose their flesh, become miser-
able in short time, and in no case
can they be made to give good returns
when thus restricted in their quar-.
tiers. If you had no room for the hens
to exercise in, you would better get
rid Of them.

STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain is Beneficial 70 All Farm Fowls,
but Variety Is Necessary for
Egg Production.

Grain is the staple food for poul-
try, and will be used for that purpose
as long as fowls are kept on farms;
but hens can not give good results
on grain alone. 1t is beneficial to
them and will be at all times rel
ished, but the demands of the hens
are such as to call for variety. In
the shells Of eggs as well as their
composition are several forms of min
eral matter and nitrogen, which can
only be partially obtained from grain.
Even grains vary In composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for a long time, they will begin to re-
fuse it, as they may be oversupplied
with the elements Of the food par
taken and lack the elements that are
best supplied from some other source.
For this reason they will accept a
change of food, which is of itself
an evidence that the best results
from hens can only be obtained by
a variety of food Germ and wheat
may be used as food with advantage,
but must be given as a portion Of
the ration and not made exclusive ar
ticles of diet.

Kerosene Emulsion.

Kerosene emulsion, one of the best
mixtures to use in combating mites
in the poultry house, is made by mix
ing two gallons of kerosene oil, "a
pound of whale oil soap, one quart of
homemade soft soap, and one gallon
Of water Dissolve the soap by boil
ing in water, then remove from the
fire and add the kerosene at once.
Churn this mixture rapidly and vio-
lently until 1t is as smooth as beaten
cream. One part OF emuIsionsto sew
eral parts Of water is used to dilute
the mixture for application to build
ings, dropping boards or nest boxes.
Add one or two ounces Of carbolic acid

70 Avoid the Runtv ~.

Runty pigs stand a poor show at
the feeding trough with bunch Of
their husky brothers and sisters. AS
they are crowded out Of place natur-
ally they do not get enough to eat to
keep them growing, and they stay
runty.
A trough arranged with V-shaped
partitions set strongly in the trough
would give the little fellows an equal
show with the big ones, and the
weaker ones could get their share OF
food A handy man can make such
trough arrangement In an hour or
SO, and even the growth of his pigs
would more than pay for his trouble

He Is massive and powerful, extraordi-

with great vitality and very hard

DEHoRNING is NOT PAINFUL
Operation Is Not Difficult When Clip
per Is Used, Taking Horn off
Without Crushing.
CBy G. e. BRAsHEAR, Missouri College
of Agrieulture)

(By. G. e. BRAsHEAR, Missouri College
Of Agrieulture)
Dehorning is not the painful opera
ton it used to be. The clipper is
taking the place of the dehorning
saw. It's advantages are that it is
more quickly operated and it gives
the animal less pain.
1t has the further advantage that
the close confinement of the animal
necessary for the operation Of the
saw is not needed in the use Of the
clipper. 1t is used successfully with
out a dehorning chute.
The animal is tied to a tree with a
rope, passed around the neck. A ring
with rope attached is placed in the
nose and pulled in the direction oppo-
site the tree, This throws the head
in position for dehorning.
The horn Is more often cut too high
than too close, In fact, it is hard to
cut the horn too close, and the horn
cuts easier low. The wound also heals
quicker and the head is given nicer
shape. A ring Of skin should be TAX
en- off with the horn.
It Is a good plan to grease the clip
pers with grease that is mixed with
some disinfectant such as creoline.
The best clipper on the market has
V-shaped notches in the blades. It
clips the horn off easily, without
crushing. The knife with straight
edges tends to crush the horn and is
harder to operate.
