IMPORT MORE BEEF
BUT PRICES ADVANCE

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Under
the new Democratic tariff law beef
imports have increased about two
ounces per capita a month. and
meantime the price OF all meat pro-
ducts have advanced This fact
stands out conspicuously IN official
figures relating to the import of food
products made public at the de-
partment of commerce today. Elk
perience with the new tariff thus
far does not justify the assertion that
that it is reducing prices of food

The very special care OF the Runner

they must not be chilled, overfed or
left without water. They chill easily
at first and sometimes get cast on their
little fat backs and may be unable to
right themselves Water of blood tenn
perature should be the first supply,
then stale bread lightly moistened in
sweet milk. After a week bran, mid
dlings and later cornmeal and meat
scraps are added to the ration. Sprout-
ed oats, chopped lettuce or cabbage or
any available palatable green feed is a
most important part Of the ration
whenever the ducks or ducklings are
not free to range. Nothing, however.
quite equals red or white clover or al
falfa, either grazed or supplied artif-
cially. A new producer of green feed
for yarded fowls is the Chinese cab
bage, which looks like : two foot let

Those who can should permit wide

ducklings are seven or eight weeks old.

KEEP POULTRY YARDS FRESH
Health Of Chicks Suffers When Ground
Becomes FouIed-Sow Some
Grain In Idle Pens.

When the hens and their chicks are
confined in yards they soon eat off all
the grass and the ground in a short
time becomes unhealthful
10 tho uards are small the earth is
soon fouled to the depth of three
inches, and the health of the chicks
suffers. Chicks need a fresh, clean
run, when they cannot be allowed a
free range, or they will not thrive.
Soil that is light and well drained is
better than any other for the chicks
use. Heavy rains will wash the poi.
sonous matter of the surface and drive
much OF II into the ground.
II small yards must be used for the
chicks, they should be divided and the
chicks kept in one part while the 9th.

GOOD DAIRY cows RATIoNs
Proportion Of Coarse Feed to Grain
Must Be Adjusted to Actual.
Needs Of the Animal.

Since It is important that a COW
should have enough feed to satisfy the
appetite. the proportion OF coarse feed
to grain must be adjusted to her actual
needs. Roughage. in a general way,
should be fed according to her size,
allowing two pounds OF hay per hun.
dredweight when It is the only rough
age used. When silage is fed. the
general rule may be to feed one pound
OF hay and three pounds OF silage per
hundredweight and the balance OF the
nutrients needed should be provided
in concentrates. except that when
roots are fed they will take the place
OF part OF the grain at the rate Of
ten pounds OF roots for one pound Of
grain. These directions are only
general. as In practise 1t will be found
that spare, big-bodied cows will take
relatively more roughage.

when the hot weather comes on. and
especially II the season is wet. At

at once separated from the we'll ones
OF the flock, and the houses and runs
thoroughly disinfected with chloro-
naptholeum or some other good, ef-
fective disinfectant, and all loose
nesting material burned.
good solution for local treatment
is made by thoroughly mixing one
ounce OF pure glycerine and one
ounce OF perchloride OF iron, which
should be thoroughly shaken each
time before being used. Take a small
camers hair brush or a stiff wing
quill. dipping lightly into the solution,
and painting the tongue. mouth, throat
and affected parts with 1t twice day

more effective. AS constitutional
treatment, give each bird half tea

cream OF tartar II the head should

toms. rub It with mentholatum or car
boiated vaseline. We prefer the for

AS a preventive measure It is ad-
visable to give the apparently well
members OF the flock some OF the
sulphur and cream Of tartar. This
will put their systems In better con-
dition. and they are not nearly so
likely to become diseased.

OATS IMPROVE MILK FLAVOR
Interesting Experiments Conducted at
Government Farm Favor Bran
and Corn Ration.

II has been asserted by some dairy
men that the feeding OF crushed oats
TO cows will improve the flavor Of
milk. To ascertain the correctness OF
this theory series of experiments
was made by the bureau OF animal In
dustry OF the United States depart
ment OF agriculture at the experiment
tai dairy farm at Beltsville, Md Six
cows we're used In the experiment.;
three were fed grain ration OF corn
meal, bran, and cottonseed meal; the
other three were fed a grain mixture
OF five parts crushed oats and one part
cottonseed meal A number OF sam
pies OF milk from the cows fed these
rations were submitted to various per
sons In the dairy division and they
were asked to indicate their prefer
ence. In all. 80 opinions we're passed
on various ramples. or these, 16
showed q preference for the milk from
cows fed on crushed oats; rs preferred
that from the bran and corn ration,
while nine expressed no choice. The
results show that in these rations. not
only was there no marked difference
in favor OF the crushed oats as a feed
to improve flavor. but. II anything. the
ration containing bran and corn was
more successful IN producing n fine
favored milk.
