FEED FOR FATTENING FOWLS
Some Timely Hints on the Matter for
Poultry Raisers.

There are several rations that can
be fed successfully in fattening chick
ems. In some districts corn is the main
item, and i'll others oats, barley or
other grain. The price OF grain will
govern the ration fed, largely.
There is no better fattening food
probably, than good plump oats fine
ground. Barley, ground up fine, is al
so good as part OF the ration A good
ration would be ground oats, barley
and middlings in equal parts and a
little bran mixed with buttermilk or
sour milk
If one cannot get milk it will be
necessary to feed some animal meal or
beef scrap, or little blood meal
About 10 per cent of the weight OF
the grain is the right proportion OF
blood meal.
If corn is as cheap as the other
grains. would feed corn literally
The grain should be mixed with about
twice as much milk as OF ground grain
SO that it will be very soft and drip
from the end of stick No green
food is necessary
The chickens should be fed all they
will eat twice day. At first one
should begin by feeding light, but al
ter two or three days they should be
given all they will eat twice day
Food should not be left standing be
fore them. however.
The chicken should be confined in
small pen or fattening crates where
they will get no exercise. They will
be quieter and do better i'll a dark
pen. The feeding may be done by
lamDlight at night if that is more con
venient.-Prof. James Dryden, Oregon
Agricultural College

General Farm Notes.

Good way and a good horse shorten
miles.
To keep rid OF weeds kill them be
fore they come up.
Plant early smooth peas. Alaska is
a good early variety.
Look ahead this year and prepare
for an abundance OF forage crops
Rich. well drained. and well worked
soil is the kind that makes tomatoes
thrive.
Long. straight rows will make easier
work with the horse cultivator or
wheel hoe later on.
A plot OF ground 40x60 will supply
a family of five or six with all the
vegetables they can eat.
Do not pillow the garden ground un-
til it is in just the right condition with
regard TO moisture.
Asparagus is hardy plant 1t does
not need a winter mulch to keep it
from being killed by freezing
Lay aside and pillow good rich
strip of land near the house for a gar
den and fruit plantation. 1t will pay.
Plant plenty of beans. There is no
better vegetable food grown and the
market for excess production is never

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS.
You Should Determine the Breed
Adapted to Your Locality.

The first thing to do in taking up
poultry as business is to find some
breed adapted to the locality, then
stock up with the breed and study it,

ity enters into the success of the poul-

must bee good -natured, for one things,
and willing to give his time and pa
thence to detail work. For these rea-
sons man who takes up this bust
ness for pleasure often succeeds much
better than the man who goes into
it for purely the money it brings him
Success in this business comes slow
ly 1t must be built up. 1t requires
patience. but when success does come
everything after that is easy and the
profits are good.

poultry business at small expense.

WORK IN THE POULTRY YARD.
First Thing of Importance is to Give
Fowls Plenty of Good Air.

The routine work on the poultry
farm, consists, first, OF opening up the
houses and allowing the fowls the
benefit of the fresh air.
Then comes the breakfast; then the
drinking water; then cleaning up the
droppings OF the night
Following this is looking after the
trap nests, making repairs, taking care
of the incubators and brooders, and
general chores.
At night, again the feeding-and at
dusk emptying out the drinking YES
sells, examining the houses that all may
be found well. and locking the doors.
But there are other dutics-chang-
ing male birds, examining the fowls
JON the roost and removing ,ach as
show signs of colds or illness, watch
ing for feather pullers. doctoring torn
combs and wattles. and multitude OF
things that call for constant attention
All these matters repeat themselves
from Monday morning unil Sunday
night.
1t is the routine work. this sameness
that SO quickly discourages the begin
ner and makes him quit the work early
in life.
More people would be fitted for
poultry work ii they could content
themselves with this repeated same

Care of Ducklings.

1t Is important that ducklingS
should have plenty of water to drink,
but they should not be allowed to play
in ii or To get wet. When wet they
are likely to chill and die. They should
have water deep enough to immerse
their bills. Otherwise their nostrils
would become clogged with dirt and
food. A good way to give them water
is in a deep pan filled with stones.
They can drink between the stones
but cannot get wet. The chill should
be taken off the water for the first
few days Like chicks, duckling
should not be fed until twenty-four to
thirty-six hours old. The first feed
should be stale bread soaked in sweet
milk, squeezed rather dry and sprink-
led with fine sand.

PREVENT BLOWING OF SOILS.
The Land Should be Disked Early in
the Spring.

Ground that has been farmed long
enough so that the grass roots are

the soil is not protected in some way

This cultivation may be done with

condition for taking in the rain that
falls This stirring will keep the soil
in god condition for blowing much
longer than it would be kept if the
ground were left unstirred.
The cultivation will bury many
weed seeds which will soon terminate.

served. and weeds which would inter
