WHlTEWASH FOR HEN-HOUSES
Formula Given by Poultry Manager Of
Contra! Experiment Station at
Ottawa, Canada.

A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa
Canada, says durable and lasting
whitevash may be made as follows
Put into a watertight, clean barrel
half bushel of unslaked lime. Shake
the lime to a depth OF five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds OF sulphate OF zinc and two
pounds OF salt dissolved in hot wa
ter.
These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling off. 1t
is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside OF
poulsry-house, colony houses or coops,
add half an ounce of carbolic acid.
TO color the whitewash, add yellow
ochre, venetian red OF any other de-
sired color.

In this test they noted that silaK<

feeding horses large quantities OF

heavy work when they are In a heated

The Michigan Experiment Station
has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors its use.
especially for horses not at heavy

with seven teams of work horses, one
horse of each team was fed hay and
grain. while the other received small
amounts OF hay and grain with about

teams were doing moderate work
The experiment lasted twelve weeks
