FARMERS INSTITUTE
A Weeks Short Course Work
in Madison Next Winter

To the Editor: / have just received
word from DIR. III. Ell. Stoner, superinten-
dent of the farmers institute work in
the state, that the week of February
10th. 1914, has been selected for the
short course work, in Madison. We
are one of the favored points selected
for this work, there being only few in
number. Tue work will go beyond
that of the usual institute, as it will
he more in line of training and
demonstrating. This is the time of
year when exhibitors to the display of
agricultural exhibit should begin their
work. We would especially call the
attention of the farmer boys of the
county to the corn contest, which has
already been advertised.

FLOWING METHODS
Deep and Shallow Flowing in
Cultivation of Alfalfa.

Pierre, June 2.--Some tests of the
difference between deep blowing and
shallow stirring of the ground have
been shown on "a farm near Capa, in
Lyman county. Part of a tract was
stirred to the depth of ten inches and
the rest about four inches. This was

Dry Quarters at Night Must Be Pro-

Proper Feed Essential.

Leg-weakness in ducks is often pro-
duced by damp quarters at night. They
can stand ali the water and rain dur-
ing the day time that they NAV no
exposed to, but at night they must
have dry quarters.
The floors of the duck pen should
be heavily covered with straw. Leg.
weakness from this cause is often n
cause of cramps and rheumatism If
the trouble does not right itself in a
few days and the bird otherwise is in
a good condition it is best to kill and
eat it.
There is, however, another form Of
leg-weakness which is more common.
This is the result of heavy feeding.
especially if the feed is too conceu-
trated.
A popular feed With duek-raisers IS
bran, cornmeal, meat scraps and greer
feed or STEPPED clover or Alfalfa.

This, in a few days, generally ends
the trouble. Never feed whole grain,
especially corn. 1t is claimed that
leg-weakness is more or less common
among ducks fed whole corn.-L. NJ. B.

that has been notched along one edge

The hole In the pin-wheel must be just
large enough so the wheel will turn
easily. To spin the pin-wheel, hold
the stick in the left hand as shown in
Fig. 2, and then with coin in the
right hand rub vigorously along the
notches. This causes the stick to vi
brate and the vibrations make the pin
wheel spin around. Tie direction of
the spinning is determined by the 20
sitions of the first and second fingers

the second finger must be press

stick below the notches adds TO the
mystic appearance of the pin-wheel

back towards the audience and allow
the right wrist to be bound to the left
one. Several knots may be tied in
the rope if the person wishes to tie
them. When you turn your back away
from the audience again, it is of course
only necessary to turn the right wrist
around so as to undo the twists which
you secretly made in the rope; then
the loop will be plenty large enough
to slip the hand out of it. With the

Turning Paper Into Coffee.
The trick of turning paper into COT
fee is simple magic. Two baking
powder cans of equal size. a cover
small enough to set into the top OF
one can. napkin or towel, and an
empty hat-box filled with cut paper
are the necessary pieces of apparatus.
Trim about Il inch from the edge OF
the can cover, with the exception of
two little flaps which should be bent
out sideways as shown in Fig. Z. The
purpose of the flaps is to support the
cover in an inverted position upon
the rim of one of the cans. Before
the performance, fill one of the baking
powder cans with hot coffee, set the
cover in the top, fill the cover with the
cut paper, and conceal the can inside
of the box of cut paper. Pass the
empty can among the audience for In
spection, then stepping back to your
table on which the box of cut paper
has been placed hold the can down
into the box and scoop up several
handfuls of cut paper and drop 1t
into the can. Instead of removing
this can from the box after filling it,
lift out the can containing the coffee.
AS the inverted cover is filled with pa
per no one will suspect the change,
Cover the napkin over the can. and
announce that the transformation
from paper to coffee is about to take
place; then pass your magic wand
over the top. and lift off the napkin,
removing with it the inverted cover
by catching hold Of the ends Of the
projecting tabs. If the coffee has not
been allowed to stand too long, 1t Will

CHICKENS NEED MEAT
Fowls Are ScavengerS to a Very
Decided Degree.
Being Possessed of Unsuitable and
omnivorous Appetite and Power
full Digestion Hen Will Eat
Everything She Meets.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOI.TE1
Chickens are scavengers to a very
decided degree. They choose their
food by sight alone as they are almost
entirely without the senses of smell
and taste, 80 far as we can tell. Like
most otter young animals, however,
they dc not know how or what to eat
until they have been taught, either by
older fowls, human efforts, or series
of experiments on their own behalf.
Being possessed of an Unsuitable
and omniyorous appetite coupled with
most powerful and dauntless diges-
ton, the chicken eats everything she
meets that can possibly be digested
and much that cannot Mighty few
victuals are missed by those bright
eyes, in spite of lack of auxiliary SEN
ses. If speck wiggles, jumps, crawls
or flies, it's certainly alive, hence
good to eat. If it shines, she will take
a chance on it, and if it's yellow it
must be food. Anything goes, from
potato bugs to live mice, from bird

DAIRY FARM is PROFITABLE
Combined With Fruit and Poultry
Farmer Could Add Considerably
to His Annual Income.

Students of good farming every
where admit that dairy farming is the
most profitable of all farm work. In
connection with the dairy, fruit and
poultry could be raised, and they
would add great deal to the income,
possibly the two combined, if worked
to the best advantage, would produce
as much income as the dairy The
fruit and poultry could be raised on
the same land, which could also be
used for the young calves of the
dairy. BY such system of intensive
farming, the profits would be in
creased to the greatest possible ex-
tent, considering the amount of land
used
The man that keeps his share of
dairy cows and manages them in the
right manner will never find his land
losing its fertility AS a means of
keeping up the fertility of the soil.
the dairy business cannot be beaten.
Only small amount of the elements
are taken away from the soil with
out being returned, and that small
amount is very profitable.
1t is all right to pasture the cows

seed to whole corn in the cob. II it
happens to turn out a shingle nail,
pebble or piece of glass, it stays in
the gizzard and helps grind up the
rest of the food.
AS chickens run loose on the farm
they pick up most of their living in
the fields. During the season of
heavy laying, the spring months, they
secure nearly as much insect and an
imal food as vegetables or grain. The
eggs begin to diminish about the time
that the insect life retires for the win
ter. Is this merely a coincidence, or
natural cause and effect?
1t is undoubtedly true that the
shortage of flesh food will cut down
the egg yield and when the hens can
not find this animal food it must be
supplied to them. 1t is not possible
for the hen to produce eggs economi-
cally from grain alone, because the
proportion of grain elements and meat
elements remains about the same in
eggs, regardless OF the hens diet, and
an all grain diet does not furnish meat
elements to balance it's starch and fat.
At least twelfth OF the ration should.
be flesh food. The form it takes de-
ponds upon circumstances.
Table scraps may be sufficient for
small flock, if there is meat in them
Burn or bury any refuse that they
leave, day by day. Green cut bone,
that is, raw bone shaved to edible
size in bone cutter is the best form
of flesh food. Feed handful per hen
every other day.
Beef scrap, if not too fat, is an eX-
1ellent meat feed where green cut
bone cannot be used. 1t is fed in a
hopper or mixed with the ground
grain or mash. Meat meal is the
same as beef scrap, but finer, and
better for use in dry mash, as the
fowls cannot picS 1t out. TO be sure
that these two packing house products
are good, drop e pinch into boiling
water and if the odor is bad, send the
product back Never feed chickens
putrid or rotten meat, as it gives them
timber neck or blind staggers.
Blood meal is q most concentrated
animal food and it should be fed eau
t:ously, principally to young chickens
Granulated milk, or milk albumen is
a fine protein feed, but rather too ex-
pensive to use except for very small
chicks. Fish scrap takes the place
Of beef scrap in the east and south.
It contains valuable minerals as well

Feed Fowls Meat.

Meat in some form must be fed to
poultry. They must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain a
sufficient supply of animal matter, but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food in another form
Finely chopped fresh meat is an ex-
cellent bone and muscle builder for
the young stock, but should not be
fed more often than two or three
times a week. Green bone. freshly

beneficial but must also be fed with
judgment as to how much and how
often. Meat foods assist feather,

consequently too much is apt to cause
too much forcing along these lines.
