MILK FOR PRODUCING EGGS
In Experiments Conducted by West
Virginia Station Milk Produced
More Eggs Than Water.

Two tests are reported from the
West Virginia station of the value of
skimmilk compared with water for
wetting a feed mash. In the first
test, which covered 122 days, %
hens fed skimmilk laid 1,244 eggs,
as compared with 996 eggs laid by
the % hens fed mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test
so hens fed the skimmilk ration laid
1862. eggs in 81 days, as compared with
632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no
skimmilk. In the second period, which
covered Sc days, the rations were re-
versed. The chickens fed skimmilk
laid 1920 eggs, as compared with 97S
in the case Of the lot fed no skimmilk.
In every case the pens contained one
cock to ten hens. In both expert
ments more eggs were produced when
skimmilk was substituted for water
for moistening the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing in
these experiments, and with eggs sell
ing for 20 or 25 cents per dozen, the
skimmilk used for moistening the
mash had a feeding value of from IL
tn 2 cents ner quart In these trials
802 quarts Of skimmilk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase in the egg pro-
duction Of 702 eggs, or almost an ex-
ira egg for each quart used.

when the wrists are small and deli

STYLE NOT HARD TO COPY
Military Effect in oId-Fashioned Union
Blue Effective for the Youthful
Figure.

Any style feature that hints Of the
military is bound to be approved. It
takes a slender figure to carry such
styles.
A regular old-fashioned union blue
is the color used often and the mate
rial is duvetyn.
The coat is quite high waisted and
beIted in with a 4-inch strap Of self
material, with two cloth covered
buckles in front. The opening is down
the left side, started directly from the
shoulder. The blouse portion has long
sleeves, a trifle full at the waist, with
cuffs of skunk, and are set smoothly
into extension armholes. It fastens
closely about the throat with an up
standing collar Of skunk.
The fulness below the bust in front
is drawn under a little pointed bib set
above the belt. In back there is a
slight blousing above the belt.
The skirt portion of the coat is quite
long, reaching point midway OF the
hips and knees, and, like the blouse,
opens down the left side. There are
a few very scant gathers at the waist
Just to give the necessary ease over
the hips. The corners of the coat at
the opening are rounded of, otherwise
the lower line is perfectly straight all
around. The large. fiat buttons are
cloth covered.
The skirt is one of the simplifed
"pegtop" variety, with some fullness
on either hip and an even line Of gath
ers across the back at a raised waist
line.
A special word must be given to the
smart little military toque that is
made to accompany these costumes.
The same blue duvetyn is used, draped
softly around the head, and there is
no trimming other than the upstand-
ing fur brush on the left side.
OF course the entire costume may
be equally well developed to any color.
1t would be bound to be attractive in
mouse color, for instance, with collar
and cuffs and hat brush Of oppossum,
fox, or any other gray fur.

EsedInn Raw Beet PuIp.

Our leading dairymen have silos and
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
a feeding Of hay at, noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
ent prices. The best wheat feeds, glu
ten and cottonseed meal, are the priD
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding bee'
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking 12 cows told me
a few days ago that since he com
menced feeding this with the same
amount of grain, his cows had gained
little over 40-quart can Of milk per
day, says a writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton in car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to a feed per COW twice day.

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF GEESE
Many Places on Farm Worthless for
Cultivation That Could Be Utilized
With Excellent Results.

Ry G. e. HOWARD. United States De.

Goose raising is not so extensively

tons under which they can be sue.
cessfully raised being almost entirely
different from those necessary for sue
cessful duck raising. The duck, be-
ing smaller, can be raised In a more
limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water,
while the former has been proved to
do equally well without water.
While the goose can not prohtabiy
be raised in as large numbers as the
duck, still it can not justly be termed
improbable. There are many places
on farm that are worthless for cul'
uvation that could be utilized with ex-
cellent results for goose raising.
Fields that have streams, branches,
or unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. Many farm
ers are profting by this and adding to
their incomes annually. The care and
attention necessary for raising geese
are very small when compared with
the returns, and the cost of food is
also proportionately small in compari-
son with the cost Of food used for
other birds bred for market. A goose
on range will gather the largest por-
ton of its food, consisting of grasses,
insects and other animal and veget-
able matter to be found in the fields
and brooks.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Cow Should Have Large Middle and
Strong constitution-ReaI Good
Sires Are Rare Thing.

(By PROF. W. J. KENNEDY. Iowa Sta
tion.)
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester. The COW is a machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and strong con.
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a. large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked mils
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in ap
pearance; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin SHOULD be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires OF
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol
low the use of mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records. A
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact, as long as he is a sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only of old age
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t is the COW
that stays by her job that is really val
liable.

after the plans of those given for
ducks, but should be proportionately
Of larger size to accommodate com.
fortably the number of birds to be
kept. Geese are long-lived birds, some
having been known to attain the age
of forty years, while birds fifteen and
twenty years of age are not uncom-
mon. They retain their laying and
Matching qualities through life. Can
ders should not be kept for breeding
after three years Of age; young gan.
ders are more active and insure great
er fertility Of eggs than old ones do;
besides, ganders become more quar-.
relsome as age advances.

GOOD FORM OF DAIRY cow
Development of Digestive, secretlver
circuIatory and Nervous Systems
Are Essential.
By W. c. RICHARDS. North Dakots
Agricultural Collegel

By w. c. RICHARDS. North Dakots
Agricultural College.)
The form which good dairy cattle
posses results from the milk produc-
ing functions which they develop.
There are four main centers Of .activ-
ity, the digestive system, the milk
secreting system or udder, the circu-
latory system, and the nervous sys-
tenn. To produce large quantities OF
milk, it is necessary that COW (or
a bull If he becomes the sire Of cows
capable of producing a large guam
tity of milk have these systems well
developed. Good producing cows and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because it is the high de-
gree of development Of these parts
known as the digestive, secretiVe, cir
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animal the dairy
form.
A COW that has a good dairy form
has a lean appearance over every
part Of the body which indicates ner-
vous temperament and that she util-
ICES a large proportion Of the feed
consumed for the making of milk. She
has a wedge shaped appearance, view
ed from above, in front and from the
side. The wedge shape appearance
from above results from the narrow
projecting wethers which form the
apex of the wedge and the large bar
rel, below, the base of the wedge. The
wedge viewed from in front is made
by the narrowness of the COW in
front compared with the width at the
widest part of the barrel or through
the region Of the hips The wedge
shaped appearance from the sides

and is slashed along the left. side Of

heme At the top of the slash the ma
terisl is lifted in a succession of draped
folds, so that it is raised above the
level Of the hem ON that side. A small
fiat bow Of charmeuse may be used as
finishing touch to hold the drapery.
If desired, chiffon, in the same shade
Of blue as the eharmeuse skirt, could
be used for the blouse and tunic. This
would be very pretty and possibly a
bit more dressy. In that case it would
be necessary to use white net for 9

proved that those having the advant-
