Small Stock Fattenlnq.

That chickens intended for market
should be divided into small focks
and should be fed heavily on fatten-
ing feeds while giving them range in
q small grass enclosure 10 the belief
Of Prof James @. Halpin Of the Col
lege Of Agriculture Of the University
OF Wisconsin. II has been found that
as rule the average farmer pays lit
tie or no attention to the fattening of
his market fowls. taking them to mar
ket directly from the range.
A mixture Of four parts Of ground
corn and one part Of wheat bran mix
ed with enough sour skim milk to
make II crumbly moist is the ration
according to Professor Halpin. who
recommends that they be fed only
such quantities Of feed a. they will
clean up In twenty minutes.

Saving the Manure
Another important factor that we
must consider right here is the saw
ing of manure. We all have heard
and some are beginning TO act as
though they believed that CONNER
cial fertilizer alone will ruin our
land. We are beginning to under
stand that when we raise a 30 bushcl
crop Of corn on n field and haul IL
all Oft we are taking al least $500
worth Of fertility at commercial fer
tilizer prices from every acre OF
the field and we buy say $3.50 worth
Of fertilizer per acre TO make the
crop.
II you save all the manure care
fully you can return about rs per
cent to ~ per cent Of the crop value
To the field. Suppose you save 80
per cent Of the $500 which is $500.
Add your $3.50 for fertilizer to this
and you have only sii50-s.5O gone
Do you see how important IL is to
save manure carefully if you want
Ia maintain your fertility.
A few weeks ago an article in
these columns gave the value OF
manure from 1000 pound COW as
s2927 per year. A good barn will
enable you 10 save at the very least
so Of this value that would other
wise he total loss 10 you. So go
back Ia our figures on saving Of feed
and milk by shelter and add up and
YOU will see IL would pay you TO
put 5000 into a barn for one COW,
and il would pay you to put $1,000
into a barn for three cows and an
equal value Of young stock and
hogs
Perhaps YOU doubt this. | do not
say you must put this much money
into barns, hut ! do say you can
make money at It. But ! will say
that with $500 to $1,000 and pay
yourself literally out Of II for the
work you yourself do, you can build
a good bank barn after the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch style that will scarce
~ freeze in the lower stables dur
ing zero weather, and build il large
enough to shelter half dozen
cows comfortably and all your other
stock as well, besides all your ma
chinery, grain. hay, etc. II you are

SENSIBLE WAY OF DRINKING IS ABSTINENCE

TIME only sensible way Of drinking Intoxicating
liquors is by the rule Of total abstinence. We
u should not forget that alcohol is q habit
forming drug, and the strongest men both in
mentality and in will power may gradually become
victims Of habit deadly to their career, humiating
to their friends and fatal to their usefulness. While

CARE OF sTocK-vALUE OF
MANURE

Have all your livestock sufficient
shed room TO comfortably house
them this stormy weather. Have
you built that shed OF poles covered
with corn fodder described in these
columns three weeks ago3 Open
sheds are sufficient shelter for sheep
and for cattle that are being fat
tened. but the calves, milk cows,
and hogs need more than simply q
wind break and roof to keep of
rain and snow for profitable man
agemcnt.
Value Of Shelter.
Careful Investigations have been
made on the value Of shelter, and ]
quote the account of one expert
ment from Prof. lIenry's book on
Feeds and Feeding:
Al the Indiana Station, Plumb
tested the value Of shelter with SIX
grade cows divided into two lots OF
three each. the lots being as nearly
equal in all respects as possible.
One lot was housed IN the stable
except on pleasant days, when an
hours exercises was allowed. On
disagrceablc days they were turn
ed out to drink and Immediately
returned TO their stalls.
The lot subjected to exposure was
turned into the yard at 500 am. re-
gardlcss of the weather and return
ed 10 the barn at 400 pm. In a
protected corner of the barnyard
was an open shed furnishing shell
ter, and under this the midday feed
of hay was given. Evidently the cows
most exposed were even then un-
der more comfortable conditions
than are cows on many dairy farms
at the north during winter.
The trial lasted ~ days, during
which time the exposed cows ate
SIP pounds less hay, but 3sS pounds
more corn meal and 36S pounds
more bran than the housed lot. Des-
pite the extra feed they shrank 81
pounds in weight while the shelter
ed lot gained 2i3 pounds and gave
i6i pounds more milk.
