Simple Arrangement Prevents Burn
ing the Lamb.
docking with hot iron pinchers. These
pinchers may be purchased at various
supply houses at $1.25 per pair. This
method of docking requires more time
for the operation, but there is seldom
any further trouble Two men are
required to do the work--one to hold
the lamb and another to use the hot
pinchers.
In order to prevent burning the
lamb, it is advisable to slip the lambs S
tail through a hole in an inch board.
This board should be held as closely
as possible to the body of the lamb.
The tail should then be taken off close
to the board. The most convenient
way to heat the iron pinchers is with
small portable forge or gasoline
blowtorch, such as is used by tin
smiths and plumbers. Pinchers heated
to a dull red heat will be found best
suited for this work. When heated to
a high degree, or when too much pres
sure is exerted, the pinchers will burn
through too quickly, thereby failing
to scar the wound properly. The
pinchers should be allowed to burn
their way slowly through the tail SO as
to thoroughly scar the wound. The
hot pinchers are to be especially rec.
commended if lambs are not locked
until from six weeks to two months
old.

MILK FED CHICKENS
GOOD EGG PRODUCERS
One Poulryman Doubled the Egg
Yield by Feeding Skim
Milk

Evidence showing that milk is one
of the very best of feeds for chickens
is multiplying every day. A large farm
on which poultry keeping is branch
of commercial Importance, gives the
following experience in feeding mix
to laying stock. Being convinced
last Spring of the value of skim milk
las an adjunct to the balanced ration
regularly fed poultry, we practced
feeding what skim milk could be
spared regularly during the months
of April. May and June, at the rate
of about $50 pounds each day per
1900 hens. During this time the
number of eggs received varied from
900 dozen down to 450 dozen per
week. By mistake in instructions
during the first week in July the
skim milk was fed to other livestock.
At once there was noticed gradual
and alarming decrease in the number
of eggs laid per day. The actual
omission of the skim milk, however,
was not discovered for two weeks,
during which time the number of
eggs laid per day dropped from 66
dozen to 38 dozen. Then skim milk
was again fed in the same manner
as before, and the egg yield again in
creased to sc dozen per day. A dill
ference of "a dozen per day is di-
rectly attributed to the feeding of
344 pounds of skim milk per day.
At the time we were selling eggs at
81 cents a dozen, the difference
amounting to $7.44 per day. This
amount divided by the number of
pounds of milk fed gives a value of
$2.16 per hundred weight for the
milk"

Simple one-piece blouses in peasant
style are among the newest and smartest
that have appeared. Here is one that can
be ms d. in almost no time and that gives
extremely pretty and becoming lines.
The entire blouse is in one piece although,
of course, the selvage edges of the ma
terial must be joined, since nothing is
woven wide enough to cut without SO
doing. There are only two seams and the
neck ant sleeve edges are gathered and
held by eys. Nothing could be simpler
and nothing smarter. The sleeves that
are loose beneath the arms give the
] pancsc suggestion and the fril that
st nds -gainst tht neck at the back makes
a pretty and becoming frame. Blouses of
tn kind will be greatly used throughout
the season both for gowns and for wear
with odd skirts.
For the medium size, the blouse will
'equire yds. of material II, 3 yds. SO or

Ducklings and Chicks
Need Different Foods

Ducklings and chicks should not be
brooded together since they require
different treatment. Give to chicks
the mixed. cracked grains known as
chick feed and scatter it in some suit
able litter so that the youngsters will
get some exercise in finding it, For
the chick water should be given from
a fountain so designed that there will
be no chance of even wet feet. Give
them a chance when quite young to
get on the ground only when the
weather is favorable.
The program for drcklings is quite
different. They should be given rolled
oats and bread crumbs, with a little
grit, slightly moistened, for the first
two days. Then begin to add bran
and cornmeal. When a week old
stop feeding oats and bread crumbs
and begin to add green stuff and beef
scraps. Ducklings feel at home in the
water when only a day or so old, but
should be kept from it until some
| feathers have made their appearance

ONLY CLEAN EGGS SHOULD
BE USED FOR HATCHING CHICKS

The fresher the eggs the better the
chances for good hatch. Two weeks
should be the extreme age limit for
eggs that are to be incubated and 1t
should be remembered that after be-
ing held for one week eggs Geteriorate
daily.
Cleanliness goes long way towards
a good hatch. Never touch the eggs
with soiled hands during or before
incubation. The room in which the
incubator is operated should have
moist air, since dry air will cause ex-
cessive evaporation in the egg. Fol-
lowing the same theory, it is better to
set the hens on nest that has the
ground for it's bottom. The cellar is
good place. as a rule, for operating
an incubator but care must be taken
that no decaying vegetab bic matter is
lying about and that the atmosphere
is not charged with bad odors of any
kind.

nor have her nerves racked by the

FIRELESS BROODER SATISFAC-

The little fireless brooders which
may be bought at any poultry supply
house or made at home, are entirely
practical where poultry keeping is
conducted in a small way. During
the first few days newly hatched
chicks occupy them it will be neces-
sary to do a little teaching. but after
the youngsters are taught to care for
themselves, fireless brooders are less
troublesome than these to which heat
is supplied. Furthermore. with a
fireless brooder a few chicks may be
kept in the house. They will interest
the whole family and are apt to get
the very best of attention.
