kURIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q. Which do you prefer - the long
house or the colony house? A. We pre-
fer the long house. 1t is cheaper.
warmer, requires less ground and is a
labor saver. Carrying feed from one
colony house to another through snow
and wintry wind is no joke.
Q. How about keeping moth balls in
nest while hens are Matching? A. They
don't amount to much. Dust with louise
powder instead.
Q. How long does it take for a chick
to kick the shell? A. A vigorous chick
generally comes out five to ten hours
after piping shell.
Q. How much ought Toulouse Cos
lings month old weigh? A. From
four to five pounds.
Q. Do hen and duck eggs hatch we'll
together? A. No. Duck are larger than
hen eggs, and eggs should be of like
size for the hen to turn and heat them
well. Hens eggs hatch a week earlier;
thus duck eggs will get smeared. and
the hen is apt to leave them to mother
the chicks.
=. Is beef blood good for chickens,
and how is it prepared? A. 1t is boiled
in sack, but must be fed moderately.
1t is not so safe nor good as cut green
bone.
Q. How Is sulphur for bug killer
and hen tonic? A. Burning sulphur
to kill red mites we have not found eff
fectual. Much of it goes through the
cracks in the average henhouse, and
mites that are affected revive. 1t is a
blood purifier, but if weather gets
damp while fowl has sulphur in it's
system rheumatism often results.
Q. Is beef scrap so prepared that it
will not deteriorate with age? Some
manufacturers claim their scrap cannot
spoil. A. We draw the line at three
months. That's three months too old
for some.

THE CLIPPING OF HORSES.
Removing Winter Coat Adds to Com
& -. II

Removing Winter Coat Adds to Com
fort and Health Of Animals.
Every man who has had experience
in handling horses knows how dis
agreeable it is to start in spring work
with horses wearing their long winter
coats. If it is disagreeable for the
driver it is ten times more disagree
able for the horse. A horse working
hard under such conditions must either
eat more than the clipped or short
haired horse or, on the other hand. he
| must fall off in flesh. In giving his
views on the practice Of clipping horses.
DR.. W. W. Talbot of Iowa says:
The clipping of horses is becoming
quite common practice, especially in
the eastern states and in our larger
towns and cities, and this care of a
horse has become great benefit to
his we'll being and general keeping. 1t
has been shown number of times the
good to the horse that is clipped over
one that is not. this demonstration
being made by large concerns who
are owners of many horses One firm
in New York which owns over 400
horses one spring had half of them
clipped. Among those that were clip
ped they had not one that was sick.
while among those with their long
coats on they had over 125 horses with
colds. coughs. pneumonia and various
other lung and skin troubles.
The horse that is clipped of his long,
thick. shaggy coat looks better, feels
better, works better and will keep and
put on more flesh with the same
amount Of food than the horse with
long hair. and the horse with long
hair is more predisposed and contracts
disease and skin troubles, especially
such as colds. pneumonia, coughs.
scratches. grease heel and mud fever,
much easier than the horse which is
clipped.
If a man should become wet from
perspiration by hard exertion he would
not like to stand around until dry or
go to bed without a change to dry
clothing because Of the danger to him
of contracting some form Of sickness.
and the same comparison holds good
to the horse with a long coat Of wet
hair when he returns from his days
work to the stable, wet, muddy and
tired.
The clipping of horses is increasing
rapidly, and it should. as those own
ing. horses are beginning to see the
value of it. both in the general health
and appearance Of the horse and the
saving of feed. The long, woolly coat
of hair is very slow to dry out, and
in this condition it collects and holds
dust. dirt and filth much longer and
in this way stops and closes the pores
of the skin. through which is one of
the natural outlets for the escape of
waste and poisonous matter Of the
body. Then the skin becomes cold
when the hair is wet after the horse
stops the exercise. and it requires
more feed to keep up the heat of the
body and skin, besides enough for
nourishment. If you want your horse
to live long. do good work, feel re-
freshed and bright after his nights
feed and rest and look better. don't
be afraid to groom and. above all, clip
off the long hair in the spring.

GOOD CHEESE MADE
FROM BUTTERMILK

In bulletins from the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station the making of cheese
from buttermilk was pretty fully de-
scribed, says Hoard's Dairyman. This
caused somewhat of stir in the dairy
world, and since it results in the utili-
cation of large quantities of butter
milk wasted every year it is we'll
worthy of consideration.
Buttermilk makes a very acceptable
cheese, and the profit in the enter
prise will depend entirely upon wheth-

Why Keep "Robber Cows p

1t is as impossible to estimate the
productiveness and value of cow as
1t is to guess the exact number of
bushels of corn certain field will
yield. The scales and Babcock tester
when rightly used will accurately de
termine whether any of your cows are
grafters just as surely as a pair of
farm scales will show the exact yield
of corn. Don't put up with 'robber

perfect eggs, which hatch perfect
chicks, and the hen, a White Wyan-
dotte, weighs seven pounds "a half
pound over standard weight.
There are hens that lay little eggs,
hens that lay medium and hens that
lay big eggs, and the only way to get
flock that lays the big eggs is to breed
from the big egg layers.
Such hens should be bred to a male
whose dame laid the big egg.
No; it's not in the name either.
Minorca fanciers claim Minorcas lay
the largest eggs, and Light Brahma
fanciers claim their big feather leg lays
the largest eggs, yet we have seen eggs
from both that looked like 3 cents.
It's the strain, not the breed name,
that tells It's whether they are bred
for big eggs.
Two other points. Our big egg lay

To say that perfectly formed big
hen can't lay as many eggs as per-
fectly formed ordinary sized hen is as
absurd as to say that large grapevine
of perfect structure can't produce as
many grapes as a small grapevine OF
perfect structure
We know it's not so.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Many do not bother testing eggs set
under hens, but such eggs are just as
apt to be infertile as those in an in
cubator. and thus the hatch is lost
These eggs need not be brought to the
house and thus rendered liable to chill,
nor need lamp be taken to the nest

for the purpose and safe anywhere.
One great thing about geese is that
after they are about three weeks old
they can paddle their own canoe. All
you need do is to furnish water and
grass. And don't forget that hens turn
grass into greenbacks too. Green stuff

Mrs. George W. Simpson of Camden,
N. j., claims to have a hen that lays
an egg in which is inclosed bright
new nickel. She should take this hen
and mate her to a Golden Wyandotte
and then perhaps she will hatch out a
golden eagle.

Birds with heavy tufts like Cochins

The Leghorn was brought to this
country from Italy in 1853 and has sus-
tanned its fame in the laying game
ever since 1t is the most numerous
breed in America today. 1t is the bust

poultry business. and. though every lit

debut Of a breed that will surpass the
