STAPLE FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Hena Cannot Give Best Results When
Fed Grain Alone-Fowls Do
msnd Variety Of Feed.

Grain is the staple food for poultry,
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms, but
hens cannot give good results on grain
alone. II is beneficial to them and will
be at all times relished. but the de-
mands OF the hens are such as to call
for a v, riety. In the shells Of eggs
as well as their composition are sew
eral forms OF mineral matter and nitro.
gen, which can only be partially OBJ
tanned 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 It. as they may be oversupplied
with the elements Of the food partaken
and lack the elements that are best
supplied from some other source. For
this reason they will accept change
Of food. which Is OF itself an evidence
that the best results from hens can
only be obtained by 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 articles Of diet.

SECURING STAND OF ALFALFA
Seven-Aere Field on Ohio University
Farm Presents Argument In Favor
Of Spring Seeding.

A seven-acre field OF alfalfa on the
Ohio State university farm, at Colum-
bus, presents a good argument in
favor Of spring seeding. with oats as
nurse crop. This field was seeded
April II, at a rate Of fifteen pounds
OF alfalfa and a bushel of oats per
acre, both sown in the grain drill at
the same operation. On July is the
oats we're cut for hay. making yield
of little over a ton and a half per
acre.
BY September 10 the alfalfa was
ready for the first cutting, and the
yield Of field-cured hay on the seven
acres was 1880 pounds, or a little
over nine tons. Il is rather unusual
to secure crop Of hay the first season
after seeding, but good seed prepare
ton and favorable weather conditions
last summer are partly accountable
for this excellent stand:
The field, which is level and well
drained, was in potatoes In 1910. That
fall It was sown to rye. which was
plowed under the following spring
and the land planted to corn. in the
fall this corn ground was Flowed with
a deep filling machine and left for the
winter. In April it was thoroughly
disked and narrowed before the alfalfa
and oats we're sown.

FATTEN SHEEP FOR MARKET
Gull Animals Can Be Prepared Ear
Her In Season by Turning Them
Into Rape as Pasture.

All old and such young ewes as the
owner does not desire to keep should
be culled out to fatten a short time
before the ram is turned in with the
breeding ewes. The Gull sheep can be
fattened earlier in the season by turn
ing them into a rape field as pasture.
but II you put off too late special
food is required. In pure-bred fiocks
the ewes are often kept until they die
OF old age, as their lambs are worth
more than they are, but in a graded
flock 1t does not pay to keep ewes that
do not have sound mouths. An old
eve is likely to prove unsatisfactory.
In selecting rams the aim should be
to select those that are strong in the
points in which the ewes are weak.
For instance, ewes that have an open
coat and are narrow breasted should
be bred to rams that are strong on
those points. BY this method a very
uniform flock can be established in
a very few years. II is a good idea to
turn the ram with the ewes in the
evening after he has been fed and
take him out in the morning before
being fed A ram should be we'll fed.
Bran, oats, roots of vegetables, make
good ration with clover as rough
age.

One May Learn How Much Water
Different Kinds Of Soil VIII Hold
by Simple Test.

II anyone wishes to prove to him
self how much more water some soils
will hold than others, let him take
three tomato cans of the same size.
With a nail punch a half dozen holes
In the bottom Of each. Then FLY all
three cans, one with sand, one with
still clay and the other with a rich
loan soil well filled with humus.
n such soil as the last cannot be
had. then fill the can with the dark,
rich top soil from the woods lot, after
scraping away the leaves and other
coarse materials. Pack the soil in all
of them down solid, and put in all they
will hold Put these cans Of soil In
some place where they will dry out
thoroughly A good place is in the
kitchen behind the stove.
When they are all we'll dried. pour
a half pint Of water slowly over the
top OF each can Of soil. Repeat this,
putting the same amount of water on
each soil. until the water begins to
trickle from the holes in the bottom Of
the cans
The water will begin to run from
the can containing sand frst, and II
this can be placed so that the water
can be caught and measured it can
be told how much less water this sand
will hold than the clay soil. and by
the same method It may be seen how
much more water the soil full Of hui
mus will hold than even a heavy clay
soil devoid of humus.

ARRANGE BEDDING FOR HORSE
Baled shavlnas and sawdust Are Best,
Everything consldered-straw 10
Too Valuable.

Always place bedding toward the
side and rear of the stall, as a horse
lies well backward and on it's side.
Should the horse kick and scratch
the straw too far back. place a coarse
cocoanut-hber mat under the straw
about where the hooks OF the horse
lie and there will be no further trou-
BILE. Otherwise the hooks may be
capped and injured.
Wheat straw is good for bedding,
rye next and barley is tabooed. while
oats is too soft. Besides. horse likes
oat straw and may be tempted TO eat
unsanitary bedding. the salty taste OF
ammonia proving agreeable TO de-
PRAYED appetite
Baled shavings and sawdust are
best, everything considered; their use
stopping indigestion caused by eating
bedding. Straw. baled hay, old swale
and such matter rolls up too much,
which fact, together with the steadily
increasing value of straw, makes IL
almost too valuable for bedding in the
horse barns

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY COW
Where Large Quantities Of Turnlps
Are Fed Directly After Milking
No Bad Flavor Results.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor OF milk II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large duant-
ties. and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fet
directly after milking, no flavor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck OF turnips TO each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay In the early morning, and once
day is often enough.
A little salt scattered over the
turnips. which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make a very valuable add
ton TO the winter ration, because
they add to the variety OF the feed,
and no animal on the farm appreci-
ates variety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa, and other
western dairy states the root crop
Il becoming a very important part Of
the crop OF the farm.

RAISING THE EARLY CABBAGE
High Fertility Is Important for Hasten.
Ing Maturity and Increasing
Yield OF Crop.

Early cabbage requires high fertil-
ity. This is important for two rea-
sons, namely, 1t hastens maturity and
increases the yield. Both of these fac
tors are essential to realize the largest
profits. Stable manures should be used
literally and should be supplemented
by a dressing of about a ton OF a
high-grade fertilizer. The most sue
cessful cabbage growers use fertil-
izer containing four to six per cent OF
nitrogen and from eight to ten per
cent. of each of the mineral elements.
II the soil is drought resultant, the
plants may be set closer together. In
tensive growers having very rich,
moist soils often plant IA to 26 inches
apart. The better plan, however, is to
allow more space between rows. say
rs or 80 inches or even 80 in some in
stances, thus making 1t possible to
cultivate later in the season. Mois-
ture conservation should be given the

should be treated with formalin Il

Clean a space on the barn floor and
thoroughly sprinkle It with the for
malin solution before spreading the
seed grain. The oats should be run
through the tanning mill twice to re-

clean seed should be sown. Spread
down the seed grain. then sprinkle the
grain with tho formalin solution made
as follows: Formalin. one ounce; wa
ter, two and one.half gallons; mix
thoroughly. The solution can be ap-
piled with a fine rose watering pot;
shovel the grain over so that every
seed is coated with the solution When
all the grain is coataed. shovel the
grain into a round pile and cover with
sacks for not more than two or three
hours, then spread out. and as soon
