GIVE COWS FEED REGULARLY
OF Great Importance That strict
Regularity Be Observed In Both
Feeding and Milking.

By T. L. HACKER. Dairy and Animal
Husbandman. University Farm. st.
Paul, Minn.)
II Is OF great Importance that strict
regularity should be observed. both in
feeding and in milking, in order to Sc
cure the greatest degree OF content
mem in the herd. II cows are fed at
stated intervals. they will not worry
for food until the time for feeding ar
rives. II II is then given TO them In
proper quantity. they will eat and lie
down, chew the cud and sleep or rest
contendedly until time for anothr
feed. First give the grain mixture,
and milk the cows while they are eat
Ing II. This routine is recommended
because. with some cows, the milk
m more freely while they are eat
ing that PORTION OF their ration which
has the most relish. Cured roughage
should be fed after milking because It
fills the air in the barn with dust.
Succulent feed. like silage and roots.
should also be fed after milking, be-
cause OF the odor that It gives. Feed
Ing twice a day will bring better re-
turns than more frequent and waste
full feeding. Give half the concen-
trates and half the ~roughage in the
morning, and half in the evening.
Cows will soon become accustomed to
this routine. In the winter they
should be allowed to spend the day
In the stall, and for two or three
hours about midday they should not
be disturbed. Turning them out into
the yard. or giving them access to a
straw-stack or field Of corn stalks.
will cause them to shrink In milk. no
matter how much or how well they
may be fed in the morning and eve
ming. No more feed should be given
them than they will eat up. The
hangers should be absolutely clean
and free from any feed. during the
day and night.

CLEANLINESS IN HEN YARDS
Neglect Of Drinking Dishes and Feed
Ing Troushs May Cause Much Loss
During the Summer.

CBy PROF. J. G. HALPIN. Wisconsin
Experiment Station.)
Drinking dishes and feeding troughs
for chickens are likely to become
dirty and insanitary unless special pre-
cautions are taken.
Drinking water should never be
placed in common dishes or vessels
where the chicks may get in with both
feet. but sanitary" fountains, either
homemade or purchased, should be
used. These should be cleaned and
scalded at frequent intervals. Wet
mashes. when fed In wooden troughs,
mold unless all refuse is scraped on
and the troughs are placed on end SO
that they may dry in the sun.
Neglect Of these two simple matters
may cause considerable loss during
the summer.

SHELL-F0RMlNG MATERIALS
Crushed Oyster Shells, Bone Dust and
Mortar Bubble VIII Prevent Soft
SheIied Eggs,

S~oft-shelled eggs frequently appear
among fowls In full lay at this season
OF the year. especially II the birds are
deprived OF s~hell-forming material.
Eggs are often produced at too rapid
a rate to be completely coated with
lime substance.
Soft-shelled eggs, II dropped from
the nests and broken, are liable to
produce the egg-eating habit among
the flock. Poultry keepers should,
therefore. see that the fowls are well
supplied with shell-forming materials
such as crushed oyster shells, bone
dust or old mortar rubble.
Should a fowl produce two eggs a
day and one OF them Is shellless. n
may conclude that the bird is over
stimulated and its dietary should be
altered to one OF less forcing nature.
Spices used in mild seasons are
liable to have an over-stimulating
effect upon the ovary and at the same
time debilitate the oviduct with the
result that the latter organ fails TO
perform its shell-producing functions.
II fowls were more nationally
treated to a nourishing rather than a
stimulating dietary and supplied with
shell-forming materials s~oft-shelled
eggs would not appear so often.

TO five or six for the younger poults.

HIGH BOOSTS FOR CHICKENS
Much to Blame for Mortality Among
Young Fowls 10 Laid to Over
erowdlns In Small coops.

Because o~vercrowding in small
coops placed near the ground tends
to injure the health Of young chick
ems, II is advisable to teach them to
use perch roosts as early as possible
and practicable. This is the opinion
or James G. Halpin. in charge of the
poultry department OF the University
OF Wisconsin's college Of agriculture.

for mortality among young chickens

the early winter months 10 neglect
on the part OF their owners in. seeing
that they are placed on roosts early
in the season.
When chickens are left out on cold
nights In an improvised shelter they
are sure to huddle closely together. In
this way the bodily temperature Is
raised above normal. and they become
easily subject to colds, which often
lead TO fatal diseases.

The beginner will do well to begin
on a small scale-a city lot or a big
back yard will be large enough-and
grow up, or rather, let the business
grow until 1t reaches the stage where
It becomes unwieldy. How soon and
at what point this stage is reached de

There are only q few poultrymen
capable Of carrying on with profit a
business where the hens are counted
by the thousands, though SO many
are making the hundreds profitable
that the poultry products Of the Unit
ed States equal those Of the dairy in
value.
An expensive outfit Is not only un-
necessary, but unadvisable. Use the
ruder forms to, begin with, and make
the profits pay for the more elaborate
buildings. II they cannot do this,
you do not need the buildings. A
warm, and especially dry situation is
the prime requisite. OF course. there
must be good ventilation.
Many secure this by using cloth in
stead Of glass In the windows. The
method admits light, and at the same
time allows for the circulation of air
without danger OF draft. Use new
muslin Of light weight, preferably un'
bleached, al II Is stronger. Old cloth
may seem good enough when 1t Is put
in place; but before you are aware
1t will be torn by a hard wind and the
damage done to the flock will more
than counterbalance the supposed
economy in using half-worn cloth.
The material used for the building
will depend largely upon circum
stances. Some have had excellent re
suits with only the shelter afforded
by old rails and corn fodder. But II
other locations this would not be ar
economical plan. The plan Of using
two piano boxes, removing the top anC

TRYING SEASONS FOR COWS

dairy practise demands that the milk
flow be maintained at a high level all
the time from parturition to drying OF.

is by means Of siiage. Silage is cheap
