MAhON RECEIVERS SUIT CASE
Local Patrolman Gets Quick Action
When Thieves Attempt to Leave
City With Loot.

Quick work on the part of PATROL
man Pat Mahon Friday night resulted
in the recovery of a suit case belong
ing to P. +. Hayes. which had been
stolen from the Columbia hotel earlier
i'll h evening.
MIR. Hayes notified the police that
his suit case a been stolen when he
left ii standing in the office Of the
hotel while he was checking out. He
described the contents but not the
outside.
A short time later. Patrolman Ma
hon observed four men at the Great
Northern depot standing around q
euit case in a suspicious manner.
Strolling up to them he made some
inquiries regarding the grip in ques-
ton. which one of them claimed TIC
own.
The men evidently became alarmed,
however, for h mar who claimed to
own the suit case set it down, and
headed for a train which arrived
about that time. On inspecting the
contents PatrOlman Mahon found thai
it was h stolen grip, and he took IL
to the police station where the real
oWner later recovered it.

Keep a good COW.
Jersey. Guernsey or Ayrshire

Guernsey give rich milk, which readily

ously from diseased COW is apparent.
That Is the reason why herds milk is

rots and mangele make a splendid

cutter. then put into a water-dght box
and pour over 1t hot water, cover
tightly and leave till next day. On top
OF this moist hay feed meal, from four
to eight pounds per day. according to
the milk flow. Crushed oats, three
pounds; bran, four pounds and oilcake.
one pound. make a good mixture also.
Feed some uncut clover hay at noon.
Give the COW twice daily all the wa
ter she will drink, for there is a vital
connection between the milk flow and
the water supply. milk being 81 per
cent water.
One cows feed for year amounts
to from $45 to $50. varying with food
prices and cows appetite.
The lactation period should be ten
months, allowing the ccw to be dry
two months to recuperate herself and
properly nourish her unborn cali.
During this resting period reduce
the meal ration to one and one-half
pounds bran and one-half pound oil
cake. The COW must be in good condi-
ton at freshening time.

Poultry House With open Front.

The question OF what constitutes a
profitable and suitable, as well as
practical, house for poultry on the
farm is one that is often discussed.
II has many sides and. as most ques-
tions. Is one open to a great variety
OF arguments and opinions. The open
air poultry house has lately received
considerable consideration, and its ad.
vantages are not wholly undeserving.
Prof. James e. Rice. poultry husband.
man at Cornell College OF Agricul.
ture and a recognized authority on
all poultry subjects, is a firm believer
in the use OF more air in the poultry
house. He considers that the open
air house has become a fixture in
modern poultry husbandry and dis
cusses the matter IN the following
business.like manner:
We formerly thought we must keep
our hens warm in order to get the
best results, which required houses to
be artificially heated The modern
poultry house is single boarded and
tight with practically an open front
containing both cloth and glass, and
instead OF costing from four to seven
dollars per hen, need not cost. even
with the present high prices OF lum-
Der. to exceed two dollars per hen.
and in many instances even less
amount
There may be some question OF
doubt in the minds of certain poultry
men as to the advisability OF using
cloth over some of the window open
ings IN place OF glass. particularly

Mites are the smallest kind OF lice
and are so small that they quite often
escape notice They live on the fowls

particularly the roosts, nests and near
by woodwork. The way to extermin-
ate them is to paint the insides or the
nests, the roosts and the roost sup
ports, etc, with some good lice-killing
LIQUID every two weeks, or with kero-
sene once week.
Then drive the hens outdoors on a
warm afternoon. close the house up
tight and burn enough sulphur in it 10
fill the building absolutely full OF
dense blue fumes and keep it closed
for an hour or two. These fumes Will
get all through the house, into cracks,
etc, and will kill the mites. This
should be repeated week later.

drafts, must be provided This is ac-
complished by having three sides tight
and the south side largely open. Glass
windows are an unnecessary expense
The building should be convenient and
not cost more than one dollar for each
bird it will comfortably house.
Proper method of feeding consists
in the use OF variety of cheap grains
and mill products OF good quality
When fowls do not have access to in
sects. meat food of some form is an
absolute necessity. Lime in the form
OF ground oyster shell or old plaster,
should be provided, together with
plenty OF green food and fresh water
at all times.
Economy Of labor is the sixth es-
sentiai Of profitable egg production.
This can be largely brought about in
three ways: % The use of the colony

ings can be moved. (2) by the hopper
method OF feeding 80 that the stock
need only be fed every few days or
once a week, instead of several times
a day. (3) by the use of a water
system which does away with the
necessity of carrying water to the
fowls, and by giving the stock plenty
OF free range during both summer and
winter months.

CARE FOR BRooDER CHICKS
Losses During 6rooding Period Cause
Many Poultry Farms to Fall
Classification Of Devices.

By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.)
A brooder is any device for hous-
ing baby chicks and furnishing them
with the protection and warmth that
they get from the hen under natural
conditions.
Like all domestic fowls. the baby
chicken lacks the power to keep him
self warm enough to develop, and he
must receive heat from outside sources
at regular intervals. even in mild
weather, or he will die. 1t is really
remarkable how many different things
can kill chicks, and 1t is the losses
during the brooding period that cause
thinking or he will fail.
The use Of artificial brooders is alb
solutely necessary where the eggs are
Matched in large numbers by incuba-
tors, because It is hard to get hens
to care for chicks which they have
not Matched, and 1t takes no more time
or space to handle a hundred chicks
in a good brooder than to manage
hen and a dozen chicks.
Hens will usually rear a larger pro-
portion OF the chicks. though. because
they call the babies to them when It
grows cold or stormy; they are con-
stantly on the lookout for danger,
teach the chicks to eat and are always
on the job Mans inventive genius
has developed brooding devices that
do everything but think like a hen.
and the man in charge must do the
thinking or he will fail.
Brooding devices may be classified
as follows:
Indoor types-Fireless, lamp-heated,
electric heated and continuous hot wa
ter heated brooders.
Outdoor types-Lamp-heated, lamp
heated colony house brooders and gas
oline-heated colony house brooders.
For the small poultry keeper who
does not wish to use hens, we unhesi-
tatingly recommend the use Of the in
door lamp-heated brooder. Because OF
his modest requirements, the only
other type OF brooder that fits his
needs is the individual outdoor lamp
heated type, and this device Is too
changes to be safe for the amateur,
unless he is about the place all day.
Fireless brooders are not advisable ex-
cept for experts. as they derive their
heat from the chicks themselves and
the heat varies too much.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1914-06-04
TEACH THE CHICKS TO RooST
Heavy Paper Is Best for Brooder Floors
and 5hould Be Changed Daily
Give Tepld Water.

As soon as the chicks are old enough
they should be taught TO roost outside
OF the brooders upon perches placed
near the floor. Keep the floors well
covered with clean litter. Never use
sawdust
Heavy paper is, best for the brooder
floors. These should be taken out and
burned every day and replaced with
fresh ones.
A good way to keep an incubator
clean is to cover the nursery floor
with heavy paper before the chicks be-
gin to hatch.
Don't feed the chicks anything for
at least twenty-four hours after they
are Matched. Better wait forty-eight
hours before feeding. But they should
have all the tepid water they will
drink right from the start.

CBy PROF. G. NJ. TURPIN.)
A good breed of fowls properly bred
Is the first essential OF successful egg
production. For egg production alone
the White or the Brown Leghorns are
unsurpassed. For the general farmer
and others desiring both meat and
eggs. White or Barred Rocks, White
Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds
head the list. Keep only one breed
and breed these by continuous selec-
tion for vigor and egg production.
No hens should be kept for laying
purposes after their second laying
year. On an average hens will lay rs
per cent as many eggs during their
second laying year as they will during
the first. After this they will seldom
lay enough eggs at market prices to
pay for their feed.
The ability to hatch and rear young
stock is third essential. For the
general farmer keeping not more than
one. or two hundred fowls, the natural
method OF Matching and brooding can
not be improved upon. For those in
the business of egg production on a
larger scale. incubators and brooders
are n necessity.

of fresh air and sunshine without

from the fear that the hens will sut-
fer from the cold. II is surprising
fact which we have demonstrated in
our experiments covering three years
where we have been comparing
houses otherwise similar one contain
ing glass. another cloth and still 9TH
ers with both cloth and glass. and one
without either. that we found on an
average during the winter. the tenn
perature OF the house with cloth win
dows was only about one and one-half
degrees colder than the house with
the glass windows. The cloth win
dow house was dryer and contained
purer air. The hens have been, as
rule, healthier and have given us our
best general results as compared to
the house with the glass windows. In
other words, we have found that al
though comfort is important and that,
other things being equal, the very
cold house would be less desirable.
nevertheless, hens will do far better
In cold, pure air; that fresh air is
OF more Importance than warmth II
we cannot have both. Inasmuch as
glass lets in about three times as
much sunlight as cloth, 1t is desirable
to have both cloth and glass In front
OF the house. Without pure air in a
poultry house. poultryman cannot
stay long in the business unless he
has large bank account to foot the
bills. Low vitality in the breeding
stock which will result in infertile
eggs and weak chickens will soon put
the poultryman out OF business.

Water Fountain for DuckIInss.

a hole about two feet deep and fill It
with small stones. over which the
frame is placed on the wire screen in
the center and fastened there. For
very small ducks the weight OF the
fountain and the water II contains will
be sufficient to hold it in position and
prevent 1t upsetting.
This method of placing the fountain
Will allow for good drainage OF the
water spilled around the fountain. and
the ducks standing on the wire screen
will be kept dry and not splashing
around in puddles of mud and water
as is usually the case.
