Meat Rations For hens.

The effect Of meat rations for hens
was tested at the West Virginia ex.
pertinent station, where one pen of
fowls received a ration largely Of corr
and other starchy grains. while an
other pen was fed partly on meat and
fresh bone. The meat fed fowls laid
1855 eggs, while the grain fed fowls
laid 3.431. or less than one-half a.
many as those receiving the nitrog-
enous ration. The eggs from the
meat fed fowls were larger, much
drmer. rather better and produced far
more vigorous chickens than those Of
the others. Both lots Of fowls remain
ed In q healthy. vigorous condition.

Shade For Hoos.

The season of the year is now on in
which the closest attention must be
paid~to the matter Of shade and fresh
water for the hogs. Where. hogs are
running in a pasture not supplied with
natural shade. artificial shade should
by all mean be prepared. A high,
breezy location should be selected and
a shelter Of boards provided. 80 con-

FEEDING THE COLT
FOR development

prepared by United States department of
agricultural
A question similar to the following Is
sometimes p%ropounded by farmers
who have not had much experience In
raising colts: will a colt which Ia
properly fed and cared for make a
larger and better horse than one that
h fed on corn and slower through its
lrst winter; or will he just make him
self more quickly in the former case2'
It would be well for all farmers who
are now producing or who intend to
produce in the future one o. more colts
each season to ponder on the above
question. 1t may be the idea of some
men that a colt will make a good horse
whether he be fed we'll or left to shift
for himself as best he can, provided he
be allowed sufficient time in the max
ing. The proper growth and develop
ment Of the colt depends just as much
on the nature of the feed given it as
any other growing thing. and If any
farmer wishes to indulge in a bit Of
expensive carelessness. he cannot do It
more easily than to neglect the feed of
his colts.
After the young colt begins to in
vestigate his mothers feed box at feed
ing time he should be provided with .

The form In general has been en-
larged and smoothened by the de-
velopment Of a tendency to take on

lively free Of wrinkles, has also
contributed to the smoothness Of

10 a mixture Of equal parts by weight
Of ground oats and bran. says Hoard't
Dairyman. If the droppings Of the
animal seem somewhat dry, from q
half to q pound of oilmeal may be
fed daily. A bull weighing from 1,500
to 1900 pounds in service will require
from six to eight pounds Of the grain
mixture mentioned. In connection
with this let the animal have all the
alfalfa desired.

Cost Of SiIoS.

The initial cost Of q silo is what stops
a great many farmers when they are
urged to consider the economy Of the
silage method of feeding the corn crop
From $500 to $1,000 may be spent on a
silo. the stave silo to hold a hundred
tons coming close to the smaller figure
and the best types Of monolithic silos
Of sixty feet heights costing the larger
sum. Pit silos q be built for less
than this. the main cost being chiefly
labor, which the owner may contribute
himself at some slack period.
