STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain Is Beneficial to All Farm Fowls,
but Variety 10 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 a 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 1t, as they may be o~versupplied
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. Corn and wheat
may be used as food with advantage,
but must be given as a portion OF
the ration and not made exclusive ar
t.ules CT diet.

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

II 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 well 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 ono
does not keep too many fowls con.
fined within the limit Of the poultry
house exclusively.

to exercise in, you would better get
rid of them.

DEHORNING IS NOT PAINFUL
Operation Is Not Difficult When Clip
per Is Used, Taking Horn Off
Without Crushing.

CBy c. y. BRAsHEAR, Missouri College
of Agriculture.)
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
ore 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 a 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 ia 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 a nicer
shape. A ring Of skin should be TAX
en- OF 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.
