GUNS FOR POULTRY THIEVES
Use Of Electric contrIvanoes Most
Satisfactory Way Of Getting Rid
Of Roost Robbers.

There Is a much more satisfactory
way to get rid OF poultry thieves
than killing or injuring people; name
ly. to frighten them of the premises,
says Poultry Journal One man who
uses electric wires connected with an
alarm in his bedroom. when 1t went off
went out and caught the thief very
neatly. Another man uses an electric
searchlight such as automobiles often
carry. II consists of dry battery
and a small electric light. All that
had to be done was to put 1t in place
and connect 1t with the door 30 that
spring will light It. Mr.. Thief will
skedaddle as soon as he has such
bull's-eye pointed at him. Still an
other man uses big gong such as
those used in railway stations. II
Is connected with a clock set to go
OF when the door is opened. Perhaps
better way would be to have It con-
nected with an electric battery Such
apparatus as theee cost very little and
they are exceedingly effective in
frightening thieves away. Nothing is
better than light. One woman who
owned house some distance from her
neighbor's had electric light buttons
in various places so she could light up
the whole premises--not only the
house. but the barns.

HYGIENE IN HOUSE AND YARD
Second In importance Only to High
Constitutional vIoor and Health
OF Poultry Stock.
CBy RAYMOND PEARL.)

Every one knows instances OF more
or less successful poultry keeping
under the most unsanitary and un-
hygienic OF conditions, so similarly
human beings are able when forced
to do so to live under unhygienic con-
ditions. But every civilized country
in the world believes that the most
economical insurance against the
steady loss Of national wealth which
the prevalence Of disease involves, is
the enforcement of sanitary regula-
tions throughout its domain. In
poultry keeping many may be success
full for time in managing their birds
in defiance OF the laws of sanitation
and hygiene. A very few may be sue

TWELVE GOOD SILO REASONS
Farmers Bulletin Tells Farmer Should
Provide Himself With Huge Re-
eeptacIe for Feed.

T. E. Woodward OF the Dairy d.
vision in Farmers Bulletin $50, ~"
nishes ~ good and well.considered rea.
sons for the farmer providing himself
with silo. Every one of them touches
some spot OF vital Importance to the
larger profit of dairy farming. Here
they are:
l. More feed can be stored in given
space in the form of silage than in the
form of fodder or hay.
2. There is a smaller loss OF food
material when a crop is made into sill
ege than when cured as fodder or hay.
3. Corn silage is more efficient feed
than corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn can be placed in
the silo at less cost than the same
area can be husked and shredded.
b. Crops car be put In the silo dur.
ing weather that could not be utilized
In making hay or curing fodder.
8. More stock can be kept on given
area OF land when silage is the basis OF
the ration.
z. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder. Good
eilage properly fed is all consumed.
s. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent feeds.
has beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form In which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
IL. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops. because 1t re-
quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable
IL. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves 1t
ready for another crop.

Gates the conditions OF the fat chick
feeding board, used by many poultry
Keepers for feeding chicks during the
hrst two or three weeks OF life. As
the chicks grow older this Slated
front can be put on the trough and
held In place with hooks.
OF course 1t is entirely possible to
make troughs In accordance with the
principle Of this Improvement, with
removable Slated openings on both
sides, to be set down In the middle OF
the yards SO that the birds can get at
the feed from both directions. Con-
venient dimensions are as follows:
Length, s feet inches; height to
peak, l foot inches; width at bot
tom, 3 inches; width at widest part,
91s inches; height Of front opening.
12h inches; width OF roof boards

Peasant women OF Alsace.Lorraine
look after the geese that provide the
livers for the famous Strasburg liver
pies. Three times day these
women stun food down the throats
OF the goose by the aid os one fore
finger. II takes about an hour to
feed IL geese. These women must
keep close watch on these stuffed geese
night and day and have sharp knife
ready to bleed any goose showing
staggering gait, for when the stuffing
has fattened the goose to the point
where the liver enlarges rapidly, the
goose may go OF with apoplexy, and
to let II lie several hours unbled would
mean a big loss OF both the body for
market and liver for the pies. The
goose on the market would not bring
much more than the cost OF the food
put into 1t, but the livers bring as
high as "a a dozen. Then these wom-
en- make a profit on smoked geese
breasts, the delicatessen stores pay
ing as high as rs cents pound for
these. This reference to these peas
ant women keeping such close watch
on the fowl liable to die OF apoplexy
may let in some light on 80 many sud
den deaths in our own heavily-fed
fiocks. AS these die usually at night
we do not notice the premonitory
symptoms of apoplexy. II we did, and
bled the fowl in time, we could safely
use 1t on the table.
All breeders of long experience with
whom i have talked, writes w. +. Pur-
due in Michigan Farmer, say that
there is more money in geese than in
any other class Of poultry. The risk
Of loss is smaller than with ducks,
turkeys or chickens. They are the
healthiest and heartiest of all fowls,
seldom dying from diseases.
Some people are of the opinion that
a goose will eat as much as hog,
but this Is not true. Old geese are
strictly grazing creatures when pas
turing is available and the goelings
can be grown to FIVE months Of age
with less than one peck Of grain each.
The principal ration Of these fowls
during the summer and fall months is
composed of grass, weeds and insects.
On nearly every farm there are a
few places that are worthless for cul-
tivation. All such places could be
utilized for a goose pasture with profit

makes a good run for both old fowls
and goslings II they can have dry

REMOVE MALES FROM FLOCK
unfertIIlzed Eggs Are the Only Ones
That Can Be Guaranteed During
the Summer Season.

Most people believe that an egg
must be set under a hen, or put in
a incubator before II will start to
hatch, says American Cultivator. Eggs
will start to hatch at less than ninety
degrees OF heat. Many eggs are sub
mitted to this or higher temperatures
for several hours II not days, before
reaching the consuming public.
When the germ inside the egg COM
mences to develop, the edible qualities
OF the eggs are lessened or the egg
goes of flavor. Eggs may be kept
at an incubating temperature for q
day, when the chicks will start grow
ing, next day the temperature may be
so low that the chick is Killed. and
from that point decomposition begins,
possibly. slowly, but, nevertheless, the
egg is gradually going bad.
There are almost innumersble ways
in which eggs may be started hatch
ing during the summer, such as for
getting to gather the eggs daily, and
leaving some under broody hens over
night, leaving them exposed to the
sun or in warm rooms. stores, cars,
etc, OF In the kitchen cupboards.
No one can guarantee eggs to their
customers during warm weather TN
less the males are removed from the
flock. Unfertilized eggs are essen

GOOD RULES FOR DAlRYMAN
Nebraska Station Favors Feeding All
the aoughase That the Cow
VIII Eat Up Clean.

The Nebraska station gives the fol
lowing brief and simple rules as an
aid in determining the amount OF feed
required by each COW:
Feed all the roughage. such as al
falfa, corn silage. etc. that the COW
will eat up clean.
Feed approximately one pound OF
grain for every three pounds OF milk
produced per day.
Give the cows as much feed as
they will consume without gaining
In weight.
Feed some succulent feed. such as
corn silage or roots, to make the ra-
tion more palatable.
BE prepared to supplement the pas
lures by feeding silage when the DR.,
season sets In"

or hogs. Cattle and geese will run
peacefully together, but overpasturing
with geese is bad practise since the
fowls soil the grass SO badly that cat
tie do not like to Craze after them,
and II confined in small pasture they
will soon kill 1t out. Geese can be
raised successfully without water to
swim In, but II small stream rams
through the pasture, or II there. is a
spring pond, all the better. Ponds
that are simply accumulations of stag
nant water are not desirable for OBJ
vious reasons.
The chief objections to geese are
their noisy and dirty ways. And in
fact, they are a nuisance II allowed
tc run where they please, as they are
sure to be destructive to growing
crops and they will dirty the drinking
water for the stock But as a rule
they are easily controlled, especially
the large varieties. Geese will not
thrive in close confinement, but they
should be fenced away from the yard.
garden and stock tanks. A three-foot
wire netting fence will hold most of
the breeds.
Experienced breeders of geese say
that 1t is best to purchase breeding
birds in the fall, as 1t takes some time
for geese to become accustomed to
each other and they will not mate up
until they become thoroughly acquaint-
ed. The choosing of mates generally
takes place about the first of February.
Geese are naturally homogeneous in
their wild state, but under artificial
conditions Il gander will nate with
several partners. But for good results
more than three females. Geese ere
very faithful and will live in families
for years, the same mating taking
place each spring year after year But
It is not desirable to use ganders ovei
four years old. Young ganders are
more active and insure greater fertility
In the eggs than old birds. The latter
also become quarrelsome and ugly
with age.
The females are good for breeding
purposes for ten or twelve years, or
even longer. They are long-lived and
have been known to produce hatch
able eggs up to thirty years of age.
Two-year-old females can be used for
breeding purposes. but they reach
their best at three years Of age. The
eggs of yearling geese seldom hatch
we'll. Once the foundation is laid for
goose farming there is no advantage
in selling of the old stock OF females
until they reach ripe old age, as
they are the best for breeding pur-
poses and the young birds bring the
best prices in the markets.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1914-09-17

cessful in this practise for long time,
but in the long run the vast majority
will find that thorough, careful and
intelligent attention to these laws will
be one of the best guarantees of per
manent success that they can find. 1t
may be said that the essentials in the
correct management of poultry are:
Clean houses; clean air; clean food;
clean water; clean yards and clean
range; clean incubators and brooders;
clean birds, outside and inside.
Too great stress cannot be laid on
the Importance of fresh air in the
poultry house IL the birds are to be-
kept In good condition. And 1t must
be remembered that fresh" air and
cold stagnant air are two very differ
ent things. Sunlight is natures great
disinfectant, Its Importance is no less
in poultry than IN human sanitation
Probably there is no greater assistance
TO the diseases Of poultry than dark
and damp houses, and dark houses are
frequently damp. The poultry house
must be airy, light and dry. The place
where poultry are housed must be
kept dry If the flock is to be productive
and free from disease.
Along with housing as prime fac.
tor in poultry sanitation goes feeding.
Detailed discussion of the compound
ing of rations and such topics will not
be considered here, but there are,
however, certain basic principles oc
hygienic feeding which must always
be looked after II one is to avoid dis
eases. These are: Purity of food;
overfeeding; green food; fresh drink
ing water, and clean troughs or re-
ceptacles for the food.
The type Of Slated feed trough, used
by many poultrymen, in feeding
growing chickens is open to certain
objections. 1t is very difficult to keep
the grain dry In 1t in wet, stormy
weather. Furthermore, the fact that
very small chickens cannot use this
type OF trough entails additional labor.
An improved trough devised by Mr..
f. w. Tenney, obviates all disadvan-
tages and has many points to recon.
mend 1t. The improvements consist,
hrst, In making the Slated front OF
the trough removable as a whole,
