WHY POULTRY is VALUABLE
Canadian Expert Gives Eight Reasons
In Reply to This Pertinent Cues
tion-Good Anywhere.

Why is poultry valuable to the
farmer? is question asked by hun
dreds of tillers of the soil who usu-
ally keep but few chickens, and
these a mixture Of all breeds Profes-
sor Gilbert of Ottawa, Canada, gives
the following reasons in answer to-
this pertinent question:
1. Because he ought, by their means
to convert great deal of the
waste of his farm. into money in
the shape of eggs and chickens for
market.
2. Because, with intelligent man
agement they ought to be all-year rev.
enue producers, with the exception of
possibly two months during the
moulting season.
8. Because the poultry will yield
him a quicker return for the capital
invested than any of the other de-
partments Of agriculture.
4. Because the manure Of the poul-
try house will make. a valuable COM

slower will be of very little value. But
If the corn is cut while the fodder is
still green and untouched by frost,
that is, as soon as the ears are well
glazed, and is cured in the shocks, the
fodder is of far more value for feeding.
The most important and valuable
invention in the connection with the
CORE crop in recent years has been
the invention Of the silo, into which
the green corn is cut, preserved in a
succulent statezfor winter feeding and
for tiding over drought in the sum
mer when the grasses fail in the pas
lures. The silo is Indispensable to
the breeder of either beef or dairy
cattle:
More corn brings into use the pas
lures and idle lands of the farms. II
is a basis for the cheaper food supply
for the masses. Therefore, the pro-
duction of an abundant supply of corn
is one of the essentials of good farm
ing. The south will be prosperous
when the necessary corn is grown
within her borders.
Where IT is common only to gather
the grain and then turn the cattle into
the field TO CLEAN the fodder, that,
standing In the frost had become prac-
tically worthless, the cattle ranging
over the soft and wet ground. puddle
the soil and do serious injury to it in
the future cultivation. Then, too, the
land is left bare all winter and loses
fertility in winter rains. when II
should have the green cover crops on
it at all times.
Modern machinery has greatly
lessened the labor of cutting and
shocking the corn. We now have ma
chimes to cut and bind the corn, and
we have the huskers and shredders
that separate the corn from the stoyer
and tear up the whole stalks and
leaves into such a shape that not only
is a far larger portion eaten, but the
waste part is in such shape that it
makes valuable bedding.

apart III the row. Where srch thin
planting is necessary, 1t is generally
preferable to- plant soy beans, pea
nuts. or some ether crop between the
corn rows.
The cultivation of the corn crop
should always be level and shallow, ex-
cept in low, undrained lands, where
it may be necessary to plant in ridges
and TO keep the middle clear to assist
in drainage. The first cultivation
should be made before the corn comes
out of the ground. and the best inn
plement to use is the harrow to mere
ly break the crust and allow the corn
to come up easily and uniformly. Then
follow with q harrow or weeder, going
both ways, and after the corn gets
six or eight inches tall, the two-horse
cultivator, which enables the operator
| to cultivate both sides of row at
once, is the best implement to use.
It is always much easier and more
satisfactory to prevent the growth OF
weeds or destroy them soon after the
seeds terminate than it is to attempt
their destruction after they have at
tanned firm, fast hold. The sectional
steel harrow, or the weeder, on light
lands full of hunnus and SO on are the
| implements to use in cultivation.
The later cultivation after the corn
| gets tall is the small-tooth. one-horse
cultivator. Worked in this way the,
roots are unframed and the moisture
is kept right where they seek it.
Many carefully made experiments
/ have shown that the stalks, leaves
and shucks of corn have a feeding
value equal to the grain. OF course.
If we let the stalks stand in the field
until the grain is fully matured the

is because of the vacant hills and bar
rem stalks attributable to poorly Sc
lected seed.
The method of planting must be
adapted to the section and nature of
the land. Where the soil is high and
dry soil, or where very dry weather
Is likely to prevail during the grow
ing season. planting corn in the water
furrow is probably best. The soil
can be gradually worked to the corn.
Where the land is well drained. 1t Is
generally best to plant the corn ON a
level SO that nat, shallow cultivation
may be practiced to the best adj
vantage. On wet lands, it is usually
best to plant on beds and give the
corn ridge cultivation.
The result of the experiment sta
tons seem t., indicate that IT makes
no particular difference in yield
whether the corn is planted in hills
or ia drills.
The distance apart in rows and
drills must be settled for each To-
cality and each particular soil. The
amount Of moisture. and fertility Of
the soil must be considered In de-
Gliding the distance in the drill. Where
the soil is light and dry, weather us
ually dry during the growing season.
best results are generally obtained BY
having the rows four or Ave feet

posite for use in either vegetable gar
den or orchard The birds themselves,
If allowed, will destroy all injurious
insect life.
5. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown In GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised
for table use or layers of eggs in any
and every part of the country and at
all seasons.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment In which the farmers wife
can engage and leave him free to at
tend to other departments Of farm
work.
z. Because it will bring the best re-
suits in the shape of new-laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has the most time on his
hands.
s. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires very little capital.

The quality of feeding stuffs has
been under governmental control in
the European countries for a good
many years, but not until recently, or
comparatively so, has it been neces-
sary for this country to enact laws
regulating the manufacture and sale
of these commodities. Practically
every state in the union has a COM
mercial feeding stuffs law, varying
considerably in their requirements,
due largely to conditions peculiar to
each state.
The Law Of kentucky.
The feeding stuffs law OF Kentucky
was passed in 1905 and carries in its
provisions the following objects:
First. To have all feeding stuffs
sold or offered for sale within the
state registered under a guaranty and
truly labeled SO the consumer may
know the character of the feed he is
buying.
Second To protect the consumer
against inferior and adulterated feed
ing stuff by requiring them to be
properly registered and labeled.
Third. To protect the honest man.
ufacturer against dishonest competi-
ton by preventing the fraudulent use
of adulteFants, misbranding and in
ferior grains and their by-products.
Fourth. To promote more eco
nomical and intelligent use Of feed
ing stuffs.
The Kentucky Trade.
The trade of commercial feeding in
Kentucky involves an enormous sum
of money each year-estimated at
three and one-half million dollars. Be-
fore the operation of the feeding stuffs
law, these commercial feeds were be-
ing sold bearing misleading names
their real feeding value.
Since the law went into effect, the
sale of adulterated feeds has been re-
duced to minimum. It has driven
from the market those feeds largely
made up of adulterants and inferior
materials, and saves the consumer of
the state thousands of dollars annually.
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-12-02
Result of examination Of an Inspector:
sample of screenings.


Aside from this, II is beyond ones
power to estimate in dollars and cents
the saving to the state from the death
of stock from the use of commercial
feeds containing poisonous materials.
1t is equally impossible to place a
value on the saving to the farmers in
preventing the introduction and spread
ing of noxious weeds through the me-
dunn of stock feed.
Again from a humanitarian stand
point, it is of inestimable value Dairy
cows, as well as work and meat ami
mails, fed on feeding stuffs made up
largely of inferior, adulterated and poi
sonous materials often become un-
healthy and diseased Likewise, the
milk and meat these animals produce
are inferior and unwholesome. The
result of feeding such milk to babies
is foretoid.
Sources of Materials.
The greatest sources of materials
used in commercial feeding stuffs are
the by-products of grain elevators,
Touring mills, sugar, glucose and oil
factories, breweries, distilleries,
slaughter houses, etc. These materials
are usually of high grade and form the
bulk of legitimate trade in feeding
stuffs. The next source is the light
and immature grains of wheat, barley
oats and other grains and cereals
certain weed seeds, cat by-products,
such as oat middlings, oat hulls, ETC.,
which range from very low to fair in
feeding value, and should not be
wasted. Finally, there is another
source of materials which is exploited
on the trade usually under false cover
such as the trash of elevators and
mills, corn cobs. peanut bulls, certain
weed seeds, cocoa waste and similar
materials from worthless to danger.
Gus.
Authorizations.
The prevailing high prices of feed
ing stuffs are a great temptation to
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers and deal
ers to use adulterants or materials OF
inferior quality. The most common
adulterants used in straight feeds are
corn bran, screenings, sweepings, pea
nut hlllls, cob meal and similar ma.
terials; in cotton seed meal. cotton
seed hulls; In oil meal. cotton seed
meal and weed seeds; in brewers and
distiller's dried grains, cob meal, corn
bran and screenings; in mixed and
compounded feeds. cat bulls, peanut
bulls cob meal, cocoa waste trash OF

Noting Is Natural.

The melting of fowls is natural
process and not disease, and no med
zeal treatment is necessary or desir-
able. Feed melting fowls just as you
would feed them at any other time,
only remembering that melting is
done during hot weather and less
carbonaceous food should be given
than when the weather is cool Oats,
wheat, cut clover or alfalfa or any
lsgumInous feeds may be used more
because the weather Is warm than
that fowls are melting. Any sort of
green food Is good; 50 are beets. tur-
nips. bulbs or tubers Of any sort that
they viii eat. They should have lit
tie corn or other heat-producing food.
