STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain Ia Beneficial to All Farm Fowls,
but Variety Is 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 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 long time, they will begin to re-
fuse it, as they may be oversupplied
with the clements of the food par
taken and lack the elements that are
best supplied from some other source.
For this reason they will accept q
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
ticles of diet.

EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING
Not Advisable to Have Puiiets Pro-
ducIne Eggs Before October
Cold Weather flinders.

Many poultry raisers believe that
the sooner pullets start laying the
greater the financial returns will be.
but this is not always the case. IL La
not advisable 10 have puIiets laying
before October at the earliest. EXCEPT
in the few cases where winter eggn
are not wanted. II the birds start lay
ing earlier than October the cold
weather comes around, and probably
will not start again until the winter
Is nearly over. IL they start laying
by July or August, az very early
Matched pullets sometimes do, they
usually moult In the fall and do not
lay again until February. But IL La
equally bad IL they do not start laying
by the middle of November, as they
probably will not start In until the end
OF January at the earliest and perhaps
not until the end Of February or the
beginning of March.
The time the pullets are Matched
has more to do with the time they
start laying than anything else.
but the system Of feeding has consid-
cradle to do with IL also. IL puliets
are maturing too quickly they should
receive free range and be fed only
once a day, about 3 or o'clock In the
afternoon being the best time. The
food should be only dry grain. and
oats are about as good as anything
for the purpose. AS soon as the early
pullets freely receive nutritious foods
they start laying.

CARING FOR FARM DRAFTERs
Farmers Should Keep Horses In
Proper Condition in Winter by
Keeping Them at Work.

n. >
Most farmers do not get full use of
their horses through failure to pro-
vide work for them during the winter
months. There is generally not much
doing on the farm then, except per-
haps hauling of little produce TO
town, dragging in the logs for fire.
wood and scattering manure on the
snowy fields.
Altogether they are kept idle for
so many days that the average num-
Der OF hours worked per day for a
year is even less than two, counting
those days in summer when overtime
Is the rule for man and beast.
This condition Is improbable from
an economic point Of view, and from
the standpoint of the horses health.
Heavy drafters in good flesh and
fed literally on oats and timothy will
need exercise and plenty OF 1t to keep
In fair health during the winter. They
will need warm stables properly VEN
tilated; there must be no cement or
there must be plenty of air and SUM-
shine.
One winter we fed scarcely any
thing but straw and just little grain
and the horses came through in bet
ter shape than those Of neighbor
who fed literally but who did not
have any more work for his horses
than we had. There was not 30 much
rich stuff to poison the blood.
I know of farmer who regularly
hires a teamster to take his magnifi-
cent drafters out into the employ Of
the local ice company and so keeps
them busy during the winter. An
other engages his two teams in the
cordwood business for the same pur-
pose.
Neither of these men make very
much money through the deal, but
they force their horses to pay for
their winter board and to come
through in splendid shape for the
summers heavy grind.

Where a pure sand or light

In establishing lawns all grading
